Do girls really care about abs?

I work out for me (4 years of lifting), I have abs. Do girls really care about them? Yes i know personality is more but if a guy has abs, is that more attractive to you or no difference?

Nah, I couldn't care less. When I meet someone I don't see their abs I see their overall physique, face and then learn about their personality (which is important!!)
Work out for yourself, not for women

Majority of people will care much more about personality etc, and when someone has a good personality, that makes their looks and physique much more attractive regardless of what they actually look like. However, obviously physical attraction is also important in a relationship. The big thing to remember is that everyone’s perception of attractive or ‘hot’ is different, so one person may love abs, whilst the next doesn’t like them and the next couldn’t care less. The main thing concerning your physique and hotness is to find yourself attractive / be confident (as much as possible), as this will automatically make you appear more attractive to others, as well as make you happier in yourself, which is much more important. So to end, abs etc don’t really matter, as long as you’re happy with yourself, as everyone has different opinions and preferences!

A girl isn't going to see your abs 99% of the time. They'll have decided if they find you attractive or not long before they ever see you topless.

It's the same as how guys might have a preferred type of vagina. You'll decide if a girl is fit or not long before you ever get to go down there.

I love abs. Of course they dont mean that much, like personality is obviously more important. But for me looks do still play a slight role so of course if someone has abs that just makes them more attractive to me.
Not always, but that's just my personal preference. I seem to have a weird thing for those skinny/lanky dudes.

Well personally, my boyfriend has abs and I find them very attractive on him, but I’ve also found guys attractive without abs. Honestly it depends on the person they’re on and the person who’s ‘judging’
No. I've never got the appeal honestly.
If I'm honest, it's a source of motivation for me. When I'm going on a long bout of intensive cardio with the aim to burn body fat, I always think about the girls who rejected me and that if only I were more muscular and had less fat that I'd even be good enough to lick their feet. Sounds pathetic, but it gets me through long, hard runs.

That’s fair enough, you should definitely use it as motivation if that helps you, but don’t worry that you HAVE to have them to be attractive
No, but they are obsessed with EBD and Park Assist
If I am being honest and jumping in my feelings. I think that about myself. I can look at pictures and hate how skinny I am during a cut or chubby I am during a bulk. I literally have never been satisfied, until I have a Chris Hemsworth like body.

I honestly would just say that you should work on being happy with yourself and other peoples opinions would just fall into place
