Girls - muscly bod vs. toned vs. normal

I'd have to say I look at the face before the body but my idea of a gorgeous bod is slim and quite toned, not hugely, i don't like a rippling 6 pac, but nice muscley (not huge) arms and and a toned body are a winner.

Thats what I'm attracted to physically but like people have said personality changes how you view people, so in reality it may not be who I'd go out with (if I ever got the chance :p: )

Goes off to find a perfect illustration :biggrin: !!

But I don't believe that you would prefer an average man who had a chubby stomach to someone who is in decent shape.

Girls often lie to each other about what they really want or like. I have seen what girls actually DO around both me and my friends. Yes, I am making generalisations and of course there will be exceptions, but I believe them to be acurate generalisations.


who said anything about average? i just said i like my men with some meat on them ie fit but still have some puppy fat. or of course slim with the right mixture of fat and muscle like Sawyer but i dont think im going to get him :rolleyes:

we dont lie to each other. what would be the point? exagerate maybe but not lie. and what makes you think that we cant see each others behavior just as well as you can? tbh girls notice more (generalisation) thatn most guys too.

to be honest all the girls on this thread cant be serious, a toned body is GENERALLY more attractive than a skinny/chubby one. Im a guy and i can say i would find a toned guy more attractive to the eye (im not gay) than a skinny/chubby one. Obviously there are a FEW exeptions where some girls find fat or skiny guys attractive. Im not talking about personalities here, simply looks and obviously personality plays apart, im SIMPLY talking about initial attraction. A toned body is hot, a chubby/skinny body is not.

no one said we didnt like a bit of muscle! just not too much and some padding to go with is good too. bulging muscles is just not very attractive.

The difference between me and you is that I have actively had relationships with women- you have not. When was the last time you tried to pull a girl?


Another difference between me and you is that I am a girl and therefore I have firsthand knowledge of what I prefer. Are you really saying that having secondhand knowledge about girls (from dating them) is worth more than having firsthand knowledge about your own likes and dislikes? If yes, you have just brought stupidity to new heights. Congratulations.

You may have dated girls, but I am a girl, meaning my knowledge of what I like is worth so much more than your guesses. Hence, you can never win in an argument about what I prefer. My boyfriend is neither skinny nor muscular, and I think his body is perfect. I wouldn't change his body for the world. You can argue with me about that until the cows come home, but you'll be beating a dead horse, when your only "evidence" for my "preferences" is the fact that you've dated other girls and I haven't. I don't care what the girls you've dated have prefered, I'm not them, and I know what I like, and the fact that the girls you've dated have had different preferences is completely irrelevant to my own. How presumptuous of you to assume that you know what I like better than I do. You wouldn't tell a man that he really prefers big tits when he says he prefers little ones. Because that would be treating men and women equally, and your whole argument is based on a systematic distrust of women and their ability to know for themselves what they like. And I have no interest in arguing with a stranger on the internet who thinks they know me better than I do, when I have known myself for eighteen years and you only know what you know about other girls who are not me. So, see ya.

Toned or just average. I can't stand huge muscles, but I hate a flabby stomach! It's so offputting... I saw a guy with the 'perfect' body (imo) today-he was toned, but not muscly.

toned is mucley, you can't be toned without having muscle

Yes you can.

I think the OP meant a guy who is very built with a defined six-pack for 'muscley'. A toned body is just one that is firm and not flabby, but with some shape, doesn't necessarily have to be very muscular.

3 guys, all the same personality wise.... hmmm. I would take toned. Too much muscle is a tad gross and tbh, I like to know that if we got into a real fight, I might stand a chance.

Good point!

I agree, if they all had the same personality I'd probably go for someone who is toned because I think it looks the best. I hate really muscular bodies, where the man's pecks are literally bulging out of outfits they wear, but I do like there to be some muscle definition somewhere.

Good point!


No it's not. It's a stupid point.

Reply 95

And why is that?

Reply 96

You'll only date people you might be able to stand up to in a fight? Thats a very sad outlook to have on relations.

Reply 97

Don't be silly. Of course that isn't what I mean.

Reply 98

So what did you infer?

Too much muscle is a tad gross and tbh, I like to know that if we got into a real fight, I might stand a chance.

Reply 99

I merely suggested that I think it's a plus if you can stand up to who you are dating, should you ever be in a 'fight' with them. Of course, that wouldn't be the thought running through my mind if I was in a relationship with someone.
