    Girls, are you that fussed about abs?
    Obvs personality counts for more than looks etc etc

    But do you care if a guy has a six pack or not? Do you find it more or less attractive than a muscular guy who isn't ripped? (only talking about fairly muscular guys here)

    I know what response your after and this is not the best forum to get it. Just keep lifting and ignore these skinnyfat wenches.

    I don't really like six packs at all, but thats my personal preference, so out of the two choices there, I'd say Daniel Craig has a better stomach than the six pack guy.

    I'm not really fussed about abs at all, I tend to like the less muscular guys.

    Much prefer the 2nd pic! Nicely toned is much more attractive than a full-on six pack.

    Plus, the guy in the 1st pic doesn't have enough body hair.

    That said, I am not that fussy in actual life, and it's much more important that I like the guy's personality. I know it's cliché but I wouldn't go for someone good-looking who was a complete arse.

    I can tell you the trend you'll find: younger women may, if they like anything associated with a body in good shape, prefer abs, but will be quite put off by men who are muscular, regardless of how lean they are. Older women (and I don't mean properly old, I just mean adult - anything beyond about 21) are unlikely to have much of a preference for abs, but will be much more interested in men with a more noticeable amount of muscle on them.

    I really don't care about abs. Visible abs have NO effect on me at all. What matters is an attractive face and general good shape (and obviously his personality is about 70% of it).
    I'm 21 btw. All the women I know who have options with men (most of them older than me) feel the same way.
    The guys I know who have the most success with women, do in fact not have toned abs, nor do they have bulging muscles. They have what I'd call 'normal bodies'.

    Unrelated to the thread, but I think your sig just solved 80% of the Relationships forum.

    Also is it weird I kind of fancy Emma Thompson? She's like a million years old.

    This reminds me of those bitter males who try and claim that most beautiful women are shallow and posses no personality or intellect whatsoever.

    I find muscular men unattractive. Its really not my thing. I choose a nicely shaped man with no abs or bulging arms than someone whoes massivd.
    I prefer someone whos tall and slim with a little bit of body hair.

    I'd say the first, but even then not really cuz he's too muscly XD
    I'm fine with athletic and toned, but i prefer slender... The first guy seems too ripped and the second is too big =/

    I like abs but they're that important. As long as your body doesn't resemble a 12 year old's, it's fine.
