Finding muscular men attractive?

You do know that this happens in most marriages right?

Yeah, I did a four day split for some time

Monday:Back/triceps
Tuesday: Shoulders
Wednesday: rest
Thursday: legs
Friday: chest/ biceps

Weekends rest.
It was quite decent actually cause its' like working some bodyparts twice a week, e.g. biceps.

Yeah but they're not very prominent. I was talking about something like this:

It's not a case that somethings wrong with it, but if you could pick any body in the world it's settling for pretty average.
Oh don't be like that You're not even 18, you will change in your personality a lot over the next few years and so will probably your taste. Just sayin'

Glad i'm not the only one!
i don't mind huge arms and strong legs haha, but i don't buy into the six packs or body building.

My friends are always like 'omg he has a six pack he's so hot' and i'm like meh. I wouldn't swoon. I much prefer the chubbier kind with facial hair haha

Guys with six packs actually have something much more important. Defined masculine faces.

Ever noticed how male models invariably have a defined jaw line.....

A few men doesn't equal all men, plus as I've asked another user, how would you describe the state of your own body?

Again, you get them without even working out. Working out does nothing to vascularity other than makes you lose fat (and thus veins are more visible). It doesn't make veins bulge or pop, not permanently anyway. Temporarily to increase blood flow to worked areas, but that happens when anyone exercises, and it depletes within half an hour.

Your standards are ridiculous.

Low body fat % and higher testosterone

Muscles need 48 hours rest after they have been trained, otherwise your results will be slower then someone who adequately rests.
For example if I worked out biceps 5 days a week, my gains would be slower then someone who worked them out every other day.

No, it doesn't. Maybe in the UK, but I'm not going to get fat when I get married so why should wifey?

High testosterone is a product of growth hormone though? Which is produce when you do heavy lifts.....

But yeah, when was the last time a girl said "ohhhh I find his testosterone levels so attractive". Never. But the reality is that they are attracted to high levels of testosterone, they just do not understand or realise it.

The best male physiques (in all respects) in my opinion are fighters and gymnasts. Followed by male underwear models, who are probably not very functional.

And I think that said physiques are also the most attractive, to all sexes. Regardless of what any girl says they like. Because all too often they do not have a bloody clue.

Guys with six packs actually have something much more important. Defined masculine faces. Due to low body fat. And fat on a man's face, is a universal turn off for women.

Can't you have a low body fat % and not a six pack
I just dont like them. Not really fussed about jaw lines haha
Ahh well there's someone for everyone

Ah, but there's the point. I do not base how attractive a man is on their figure. That would be seriously hypocritical of me. Also, I wouldn't consider it settling for anything.

Yes, I probably will. But if I suddenly start putting a lot more store on how muscular a guy is as a result of getting older then I'd rather be immature, thanks.

yes you should

When did I generalise to all men? I said that if a man would rather spend everyday in the gym than set aside like 2-ish days to see his girlfriend (and 2-ish to see his friends) each week then I don't want to be his girlfriend. And I say that because I've met men like that and didn't like them men. It's more a personality thing.
But we judge people on looks so often if he looks like he's one of those guys then I'll not put as much effort into perusing him even if I do find him attractive (and if I hear him boasting about it it's an instant turn off), as the muscles aren't a clincher for me and I'd rather have a skinny guy who'll spend 2 days watching films with me or something.

I'd describe my body as being completely irrelevant to this discussion.

Should what? That sentence doesn't make sense lol

I'm sorry, but having big guns is more of a 'try hard' indicator than a six pack. Everyone has abdominal muscles that will look relatively defined if they're in good shape with a fairly low bodyfat percentage, but the guys with huge guns work out loads to get them.

I'd have thought being in general good health and pretty athletic would be a better turn on than having big guns and nothing else (meaning that they spend time in the gym purely working on their arms, probably for the sake of impressing someone).

Having big guns is actual muscle mass, rather than just toned muscles as a six-pack can be. And yeah sure guns might be to impress, but a six-pack is definitely to impress. You can be really fit and not have a very noticeable six-pack.

I was thinking more of sportsmen if I'm being honest. Guys who are pretty athletic and have muscle mass and do work out yes but because they need to be fit. And not all fit people have a very low bodyfat percentage.
