jen1447 Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 The Rock seems like a good guy but one thing I don't like that he has has nothing to do with physique - magic marker hair.
thefooloftheyear Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 This guy is "too bulky"? Really??? Looks like Robin could barely compose herself.... TFY

RecentChange Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 This guy is "too bulky"? Really??? Looks like Robin could barely compose herself.... TFY I prefer men with necks. But you can date him if you want! Yes, really. I am sure there are some women who like this much bulk, but not me, or many who I have talked to. I think it impresses other MEN more than it does women. Kinda reminds me of women who get really into make up, and wear of a ton of it. Guys say "but we don't like that much make up" - and women respond that they do it for themselves, and other make up enthusiasts (women) appreciate it. For ME - and my gal pals who have had silly discussions about it. Athletic YES, bulky, no. Again - my ideal? A swimmer's body (wide shoulders, strong chest) + ass. Something more like this: http://cf.girlsaskguys.com/q1507423/37811cf7-d75c-456d-b40e-66623bea1f15.jpg And not this..... I too like my guy to have a neck [mmm I love clavicles] http://i2.wp.com/pmchollywoodlife.files.wordpress.com/2016/04/the-rock-wrestlemania-32-ftr.jpg?crop=0px%2C35px%2C600px%2C460px&resize=1000%2C750&ssl=1 1

I'm sure some men are gonna say Denise Milani looks horrible as well...meh... TFY
S_A Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 Never been too sure what average build means, but my GF would not notice a guy that is 5'8" or lower. She likes height. She prefers the look of a guy who is at least 6'0" but wouldn't rule out a guy who is like 5'10 either. 5'8" is a no-go for her regardless of how yoked he is. My GF is 5'3" if it matters. As for the Rock, I know that the girls that were in to the fast and the furious movies would mention that they either found Vin Diesel (even though he is putting on a little flab) or Paul Walker to be really hot. None of them mentioned the Rock even though he was in the same movie. I cannot say I recall ever hearing a woman say they thought the Rock was hot. 1
Olly. Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 I don't need a guy for protection purposes. I'm not really someone that has a type either. I'm quite picky personality wise, if I really get on with a guy they become instantly more attractive to me. In that a scenario though, I'd pick the shorter guy everytime! I don't care if a guys short, better for kissing lol! My boyfriend is only 5"8 (and i'm 5"5, I have one pair of high heels that makes me a little taller than him.. so what? Who really cares!) I do think a 6 pack is seriously sexy and a beard, I love a nice neat beard!
HopeForTomorrow Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 Umm... Tall AND well built? Don't blame me, I'm a 5'8 girl who's into fitness! Me too (except I'm 5'6) If I had to pick... I wouldn't want to pick. The guy I'm dating now is 6'3" and 240lbs of solid muscle. He can bench press 400 pounds. As for protection, he's gentle with me, never raises his voice. We've only gone out 3 times (this weekend will be 4) but I get the feeling that anyone who said the wrong thing to me would end up facing the business end of his fist.
AMJ Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 I have female friends who are short- under 5'4'' and since they are used to being short, they refuse to date men who aren't 6ft tall. That always boggles me. Height isn't that important if it's the one factor that he's missing, but it is pretty great to be with a guy who is taller than me. So if the choice were between two guys who were similar in every other way except one was my height and well built while the other was taller but average, I'd probably pick the taller one. 1
losangelena Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) Something about this thread rubs me the wrong way. Maybe it's the presumption? I'm not sure. For me, I've dated men larger, much larger, around the same size, and a little smaller than me. To me, it's not an either/or proposition, physically. I'd pick the guy with the best sense of humor, with the personality I best connect with, even if he wasn't some physical "ideal." Which is not to say I don't have a type, I do, but when it comes to relationships, personality and character trump everything else. And for the record, I would climb the Rock like a tree. Why? Well not only does he have the thickest thighs I've ever seen, he seems like he'd be really fun to hang out with! Edited July 1, 2016 by losangelena 3
PrettyEmily77 Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 Which is not to say I don't have a type, I do, but when it comes to relationships, personality and character trump everything else. An oversight on your part, losangelena. As this thread has made abundantly clear, how much a guy bench presses (?) should be at the very top of your priorities. What's a real man without a decent bench press record? 1
basil67 Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 Who is The Rock? Women may well find your intimidating mate intimidating. Hence passing him over. Me? I'm happy with an ordinary guy.
RecentChange Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 Hum. Are women and men this different? How often do we hear that it doesn't matter if she doesn't have a nice body or face, but as long as she has a good personality and is funny, it's all good? I guess I am shallow, or maybe the accusation I have heard time and again "you think like a man" is true. He doesn't have to be a Calvin Klein model, but I am not physically attracted to a poorly maintained body. Smart? A must, even for a FWB, funny? Need that too. Smart and funny with a gross body - I don't think I could get sexually excited about that. And for me, sex is a very important part of a relationship. I love a smart, funny man, who I can look at naked and think God damn! 1
Buddhist Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 I wont say this is true of any poster, but when I hear these comments, its kinda the same as the guys who say they prefer flat chested women over women that are stacked.. Some people(men and women)just don't want and aren't prepared to deal with that emotionally...so they avoid it... Like I said, it could be merely a choice, but its hard for me to accept that a woman could call a guy like DJ, "nasty"....he's actually not even that bulky, really..6'5" and 250 is about average for an athletically built male...... That's because you just can't fathom anyone disagreeing with your opinion. You've got a guy crush on The Rock....aha, okay. Doesn't mean the rest of the known world also shares your point of view. It's really common for guys to think what they like/admire in other men is what women like and admire in men. Typical my point of view is the only one, mentality. Yes, yes, anyone who holds a different view to you is very obviously in denial....:roll eyes: Heaven forbid that there should be variety in people's tastes and preferences.
katiegrl Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) I agree. What's with all this "protection" women speak of? Where do they live and what are they involved in that they need so much "protection". LOL.... so true. I think women who think this way are insecure about their femininity. They prefer a tall guy because they associate his height with being more masculine, in turn making them feel more feminine. I don't understand this protection thing either. If I needed protection, a shorter man is certainly capable of protecting me just as well as a taller man. But in short, I think some women feel more feminine with a taller guy.... I think once they become more secure about their own femininity and sexuality, this preference will go away... and they'll be more open to men of all heights. Or maybe their insecurity about it will never go away, in which case they will always prefer a tall man. My ex was 6'2" but it wouldn't have mattered how tall he was. I didn't become attracted to him because he was tall... it was his inner strength and energy that attracted me. Edited July 2, 2016 by katiegrl

I myself must find them attractive, obviously, but they need not be "attractive." The guy I have a crush on at work is husky and subjectively not attractive, but the way he very boldly and intentionally introduced himself to me is what has set him apart from the sea of other, "good looking" dudes there. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Dunno. A "hot" bod never did anything for me. That's as legit a position as yours or anyone else's. Not better or worse by any means. People have different priorities, imagine that ...

Dark Horse Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 Neither. I tend to go for short guys with petite builds. If that's the case, you'll like me then. I'm about as short and small as you can get for a man. Hey I ain't complaining, there's far worse things in life.
preraph Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 It's hard to know if your definition of "athletic build" is the same as mine. When I think of athletic build, I think of chunky and overly muscled, and I am not at all attracted to that and don't care how tall it is. I've never been into freakishly large muscles or jocks. But some women are, though zero of my friends ever were. Not our crowd. I would think that if a woman was that into muscular workout body, they'd probably also be picky about height. But there are always exceptions. Don't rely just on your looks. Make yourself multifaceted and interesting so you can connect mentally.
sparkle222 Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 5'7. I think 6'0 is perfect . 5'10-11 fine, a bit above 6 fine too. But height can be deceptive, I have a 5'9 friend who looks way taller than my almost 6 ft friends because he has a much more intimidating air. A built guy can also appear taller than he is. So I guess it's just holistic/what I perceive as opposed to what he actually is. I wouldn't rule someone out on size at all. Now that I think about it a guy I think is cute can't be much over 5'8. I think maybe the relative difference between the two people (depending on what they prefer) is more impt than actual numbers ? Not a deal breaker.
stillafool Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 I wont say this is true of any poster, but when I hear these comments, its kinda the same as the guys who say they prefer flat chested women over women that are stacked.. And just like the analogy above, where the women with the rockin' body is going to be getting a lot of male attention, so perhaps is the same with the well built guy as far as getting attention from women....Some people(men and women)just don't want and aren't prepared to deal with that emotionally...so they avoid it... TFY A lot of women like very muscular men I'm just one of them. I never have and never will. I think it's the same for men who aren't attracted to women with large breasts; they just aren't appealing to them. Why must everyone be attracted to the same thing? If a man is goodlooking he is going to get attention whether he's muscular or slender/athletic build. I've never avoided goodlooking men and it certainly didn't make me insecure if people admired them; more like proud.
jen1447 Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 Anyone here into the Thor/Superman types? (Less than utter muscleheads but still pretty big and rock hard and tight.) I saw that Superman movie last night and I thought he looked pretty damn good naked lol. (Nothing compared to Gal Gadot tho ....swoon. ) 1
JuanDelToro Posted July 3, 2016 Posted July 3, 2016 I look like Don Hany, at 6"3 and a little more muscular and I seem to attract short/petite girls much more. It appears to me that these girls are the ones who discriminate more with their partners height, tending to like taller/bigger guys in general.

Yeah they like feeling *little* (his "little girl" especially sexually) ..... it's a mental thing more than a physical thing imo. Emotionally makes them feel safe and secure. It's just a ruse though cuz in my experience, many tall guys can be utter wimps. 1
