How big do girls like their guys?

Hi girls, was just at topman yesterday and i tried on a sleeveless vest to go to the gym in. Been going for a year now and anyway, i was like twice the size i thought i was lol :< the thing is ive paid for four months membership so im gonna get bigger. My measurements are:

6 foot height.
29" Waist.
15" Bicep
37" chest ish..
12 stone.
14% body fat.

Now im honestly not trying to sound arrogant and be like oh everyone respect my body. I genuinely wanna know if this is too big for most girls tastes, i hope its not, but im really worried lol :< that vest made me look like a freak :<:<:<

for someone who is 6 foot, 12 stone isn't a lot... a photo would really help tho!
your waist is small, but you bicep and chest seem a bit larger than my friends' certainly..
i personally don't like muscles on guys! sounds weird i know, but i just dont go for it.. a lot of girls do tho so i wouldn't worry :smile: and just because you've paid for more membership, it doesn't mean you have to go mental about pumping iron, just do enough exercise to stay fit and healthy, not to bulk up :smile:

Girls dont like vain guys, you do seem a little vain about it too. Almost like this thread is a show off.

Anyway i think big muscles are discusting. A guy should show they have bothered to get into shape, but not end up that trim and muscley that they want to spend more in the gym staying that way, than spending it with their girlfriend.

i think you're being harsh there. The poster just wants some female perspective...but of course the thread is utterly pointless as things like these are wholly subjective :biggrin:

I specifically said when i made this thread glory, that it wasnt about me loving my body and wanting to show off.. If i was vain i would be convinced that girls loved my body, not that i was too big. I had to give measurements otherwise you wouldnt know how big i was to prompt my asking. How could i have been any less vain about it apart from not making the thread and just staying worried that i was getting unnattractive...
Yeah

maybe a bit, but i still think its vain to put a thread about it. A picture would be more helpful to be perfectly honest, there just numbers and dont equate to much.

surely, you'd then be attacking the OP more if he did post a picture of his upper body? Contradicting yourself a little aren't you! Yes, you are tired....

29 inch waist is very slim i must say...perhaps you need to meat it up a little, but we can't really make opinions based on those figures, like Glory says...it's like playing football without a football :confused: :biggrin:

im not contradicting myself, i might have a slight perve mayve.

But honestly i just cant form a picture in my head with those numbers. A picture would make it easier, but then again white haired wizard is right it would just make it easier for other people and maybe myself to attack you in some way.

Im guessing your muscley, so your going to weight more than if it your muscle was fat.
two urban myths

most women like huge muscled hulk hogan style men
most men like uber stick thin my bones are poking out women.

whilst flabby and beer gutty and droopy boobs are decidely unnatractive so is its extreme opposite.

and as for whether the OP posted it for vain reasons or whether he genuinely needs some opinions then hes either very sad or looking for an opinion

maybe we should just give him the benefit of the doubt.

and in answer to his question i wouldnt know

Exactly, you don't seem as big as you make out at all. 12 stone is pretty puny considering you said you're 6 foot and you've been working out for about a year, plus the fact that you're only 29 waist. I'd expect you to be nearer the 13 stone weight.

Firstly, stop asking for pics. I'd remove those requests if it was on a breasts thread or whatever, so same here. Secondly, to the OP, most girls won't have a clue what all that means or whether it's big. I would say as a general rule, toned and muscular = good, looking like Arnie in his steroid heyday = bad. But you'll find someone who likes every kind of body.

Oh I thought you meant penis size.

There's nothing wrong with being vain.

Self-obsessed is one thing, but if vanity means I don't go round looking like a mong then so be it.

Girls don't like vain guys?

I think you mean girls don't like to think they like vain guys.

That Brad Pitt does alright for himself...

Personally I don't like men who are really muscly I like tonned ment but generally quite slender. I can't really give you any more help than that because I really have no idea how to visualise the measurements you gave.
