Girls: Do you really care about abs over big chest, shoulders, arms and back?

yes i know you care about personality over anything else :rolleyes: but putting personality aside for a moment here.

i've spoken to girls online (albeit from other countries. mainly the USA) and they have said they care a lot about if they can see the guy's abs. they dont care much for big shoulders, chest, back and arms, as long as they can see the guy's abs. i have showed pictures of random guys who are big and strong (mostly rugby players) and have said they hate them because no abs are showing. they dont have a big belly but simply no abs are showing.

so i ask you girls this: do you only care about the abs over big shoulders, chest, back and arms?

Nah I'd much rather have a slighty flabby, cuddly tummy over a 6 pack. It says that the guy is more chilled and relaxed about life and doesnt care if he has a hair out of place or a bit of extra weight than if he looks good.

Also it would make me feel bad about myself if i had to be next to a perfectly toned guy
a bulky man just tells me that he will more likely spend more time in the gym than with me.

excuse my prejudice, even if this may not be true. there's a difference between toning up and body-building.

Legs are far more important.

Abs mean nothing on a skinny guy.

I don't like abs at all. That said though, I don't really like muscles.

Well said. So few people realise this.

The second one, without a doubt!
The abs in the first picture are GROTESQUE (in my opinion).
Obviously it is possible to have abs somewhere in the middle of the two, but if they don't show, it's no big deal for me.

Prefer that 2nd guy



BUT tsr girls, why do you lie so much?!?!? Do you like chubby guys because they make you feel better about yourself? Or because you dont want to look shallow? :confused:


Normal girls like -


-. height (but this is not that important in most cases....just in mine)
-. abs but not disgusting veiny abs or too much bulging muscles........lean and toned like a swimmer....
-. pecs are more important than abs imo .... i dont really care about abs (muscle tits or fat tits = NO! )
-.shoulders have to be wide but there must be some distinction between your head and neck




so OP girls like a good physique but in moderation. Any girl who likes a humongous meathead is either very athletic herself which is normal or....a complete frat loving slut which is not normal. Any girl who likes ONLY skinny guys is an insecure emo or hipster. You can like skinny guys obviously.... thats what not what Im saying. But deliberately seeking out guys who have a girly hipster look even when they have a ****ty personality is weird. Girls who like fat guys are fat or in love.

I am fairly toned/'ripped' and I spend zero time in the gym. I might do the odd set of press ups every now and again, but mainly it's about diet.

But if by toned you been bulky, then fair point.
I think the ladies prefer a body more or less like this:



RIGHT ladies?

While guys with 6 packs are fit, I wouldn't want to go out with someone with one. I'd much rather they had big strong arms, so that you always felt safe if you get what I mean? Plus better hugs! Abs are fit, but they aren't realistic or what I would personally want. Also, would you really want to go out with someone who spends all of their time in the gym? Not worth it if they spend more time on their looks than with you I reckon. Fine stay in shape, but not ott.

But yeah, not important! Wayy rather have big arms and chest that a 6pack!:biggrin:

Most TSR girls lie to themselves or have very weird tastes. This should be obvious to most people by now.

Yes, the four hours a week it requires to achieve anything resembling decent. Such a burden on your relationship cannot be sustained I'm sure.

I meant bulky. Sorry for the confusion. Toned is the wrong word.
