Imported Posted July 3, 2016 Posted July 3, 2016 (edited) OP, I'm a guy and it's like this for me for what I find attractive about women. It's not any one thing (physically) and if anyone thing draws attention to itself, it's not really a bonus. Like if you see a girl walk in the room and the first thing you notice is she has a really big set of tits. I mean, that's nice and everything and damn right I am thinking about what I can do with them titties, but it's not really what I go for. When she walks into the room, I should just be attracted and not thinking about body parts. Look at a girl that you find attractive, but there is not anyone thing about her that is over-compensating for lacking in some other area. That is what I go for. I swim a lot, run a lot, lift as I feel. I don't really do body part specific lifts and almost never bicep curls. Lifting can definitely get addictive and you can absolutely grow your body to the point where a few girls and most guys are the only ones that think it attractive. Stay lean, stay tight and solid, good tone, good skin, healthy glow and you'll do well or as well as you'll do. If it makes you look stocky....avoid it. Edited July 3, 2016 by Imported
ManyDissapoint Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 (edited) I think the reason why I like rugger players is because they have a bit of meat on them with out it being over the top. Rugby players have more than a bit of meat on them. They are elite athletes with physiques that are appropriate for their sport. It takes a life of training and nutrition to reach those heights of fitness and stature. Not trying to give you a hard time but they are easily in the 95th percentile of fitness and largeness of men. Funny to hear them described as having a "bit" of meat on them lol. As far as the OP's question, I'm 6'2", lift and or run/swim/bike every day. Sitting at around 15% bodyfat. Blessed with really good genetics in the aesthetics department. However women don't pay any attention to me. Something is turning them off in the energy I exude. Might be the smoking crater where my heart used to be. Edited July 4, 2016 by ManyDissapoint
veggirl Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 I don't like the look of huge muscles at ALL. IME most women's ideal is the swimmer type of body that was posted earlier. The Rock?! Hell noooo..he looks scary. 1
VeveCakes Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 I hate built guys... Well I mean I'm not attracted to it. Tall and lean, or short and lean
stillafool Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 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. I completely agree with the above. It does seem shorter guys have more courage. The "little girl" thing that short women want to feel is also rather sick if you ask me.
lucy_in_disguise Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 I'm tall-ish myself (5'7) and I prefer average-tall height guys (5'6 - 5'11) with more muscles. I prefer someone at least a little taller (or at least not much shorter) but height alone doesnt do much for me. With very tall guys I sometimes feel like a couple of giants.
Wookin Pa Nub Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 I am tall 6'4" and never had any luck dating a petite girls, which I am most attracted to. They avoided me like the plague. Anyway I did a similar poll on a health & fitness site. I asked what body-type women preferred (golfer, tennis player, soccer player, basketball 6'4"+, Football Offensive lineman (big, fat extra weight), Football line backer - 6' and lots of muscles Football tight end - tall 6'4" and muscular, Football receiver - tall 6'4" slender but muscular. Most women replied with soccer or tennis - avg height, trim but muscles. I know a Jewish girl who says she's attracted to Jewish guys - small-framed guys.
S_A Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 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. ) There is a guy at my Gym that looks like the current Superman. He could probably play him if it was a flashback (the guy at my gym looks younger and is a bit less bulky). Heights seem similar, too. Most women replied with soccer or tennis - avg height, trim but muscles. Damn! Well, glad to know you included tight ends in your survey. I played tight end. Too bad we did not win the survey though! On the other hand, I also played tennis in my mid-teens (parents made me lol, but I did end up enjoying it); however, I stand more like a tight end.
thefooloftheyear Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 (edited) I'm a muscular guy, because that's how I am genetically predisposed to be, and because I just like to be big and strong...It suits me well and even helps me make money... Not one single moment did I ever consider whether a woman would like it or not...Never..... The reality is that no matter what your body type is, there are going to be some women who will like it, some that won't, and some that will have no opinion either way... So, with that said, why bother chasing something that doesn't suit your lifestyle or what you were naturally genetically predisposed to?? Or even ask "what women like" Because Cosmo magazine said it? because the women on here said it? ....Its like asking whats better, a cheeseburger or pizza.. Nope...Be yourself and do what makes you happy...Trust that more than enough people that you will ever need in one lifetime are going to think its the greatest thing ever...

Imajerk17 Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) Well-said TFY. I think that a guy asking "what do women prefer" is ALREADY behind. What women prefer is a man who is proud of who he is already and doesn't go looking for the approval of others. And I'm not seeing how a guy can be that way if he is thinking too much about "what do women prefer". FYI I'm short and muscular and I do just fine w the women. Edited July 8, 2016 by Imajerk17 2

I would normally totally agree except I am mid 30s, tall and skinny and don't do just fine with the women so at some point I have to decide whether that is okay or whether I need to change to better appeal to my target audience (late 20s/early 30s demurely dressed girl next door type with an hour glass figure). I'm not sure what sort of guy a girl like that goes for but it certainly isn't me because I never match with them on OLD. So increasing my muscle mass is one way to start, I mean having some muscle is never a bad thing, right? Problem is that the daily calorie intake alone is a lot of hard work never mind the exercise and I can't shake the feeling that I am only doing this for myself in order to increase my options rather than because I *want* to look more athletic. Which is probably the wrong attitude. So yeah, ideally it is great not to be concerned with what the opposite sex wants but sometimes if nothing else is working you have to try and market yourself better to who you want to attract...

Wookin Pa Nub Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 My best friend was avg height, maybe a little below avg and really scrawny. He got laid the most out of our group of friends. Most often and most variety - mostly by picking them up at bars, frat parties. He told me a couple weekends in college he got laid by 3 different girls - Thursday-Friday & Saturday. His personality was the key in his case but I think a lot of girls liked his petite, trim frame.
No_Go Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Tall and skinny is cool, actually one of my preferred body types (I have many girlfriends as well that prefer this body type). I almost think this will be the preference of the woman type that you describe (the very muscular type will go better with glam-trashy type women... I know I'm generalizing but still). I believe is very easy for a man to be 'liked' - you just need to SHOW interest, and do it confidently (the latter is critical). Women mirror interest behavior. And regarding matching - it is probably an issue with the site that you're using. I've got a lot better matches in OKC that Match and EH, however my BF of over an year I met on EH, so... you never know. I would normally totally agree except I am mid 30s, tall and skinny and don't do just fine with the women so at some point I have to decide whether that is okay or whether I need to change to better appeal to my target audience (late 20s/early 30s demurely dressed girl next door type with an hour glass figure).

You're a lot like me. I was tall and thin and in my 20s put on some beer belly weight then lost it. At 6'4" I found it difficult to find a girl I was very attracted to which are more petite to medium builds. I could hook up or date medium plus girls but most were just girls to get me thru in a pinch. My buddy who was shorter 5'9 and scrawny (135 lbs) got laid a lot. A lot of my issue was confidence and having some social anxiety in bars, parties where we would try to hook up. I would encourage you to lift weights. I have been lifting for a couple years and although it has been difficult to add bulk and muscle to my tall frame I will say my body has improved (much of it was fat loss too as I was fairly overweight). I am more confident at times and do notice more looks from ladies.

And I'm not seeing how a guy can be that way if he is thinking too much about "what do women prefer". FYI I'm short and muscular and I do just fine w the women. I agree. Women don't agree on what they prefer, anyway, so why worry about it? This is good news for guys, imo. Whatever your (healthy) build, there is likely to be a segment of women who consider it super hot. As a woman, I have the same attitude, fwiw. Every build has its admirers and its critics, so I might as well please myself and find someone who appreciates me as I am. 2

I forgot to mention that this scrawny friend use to sleep with this girl in college - they were f*&k buddies. She was dating a big time college basketball dude at another college who eventually had a long career in the NBA. My buddy was 5'9"ish and 135lbs and the other bball dude was 6'9" 225+ of muscle.
