Blackey Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 I've been told today by a friend that she does not like guys that are "buffed" from working out in the gym, and instead she prefers regular, a little bit over the "average joe" type of men. What do you think about it? Link to comment
BriarRose Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 No, I'm not turned on by that. I prefer average or even a little heavier. Link to comment
botticelli Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 I like skinny tall guys. Or normal. Even slightly heavy is ok with me. But i am turned off by buff guys.. I guess it's a generalization but to me they come off as being vain and too preoccupied with looks, i don't know why. Link to comment
newwave Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Not really turned on by those types of guys. Only guys that I am less attracted to are fat guys. Link to comment
AbombSnowMan Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 well most of those "average/ a little bit above average" guys that she likes most likely do work out in the gym. Sure buff macho steroid using machomen with muscles bigger than your entire body are a turn off but girls like a guy with an "athletic" build which you get from working out in the gym.

anu1560 Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 I also like average body guys. Do not like too skinny. May be a little on the heavier side but not fat. Its intimidating to date a guy with big macho buff or whatever. They are good only in wrestling or boxing games in TV. Link to comment
Lamour detruit Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 I think it depends as to what extreme you take it. Most girls do enjoy a healthy body, and for many that includes a six pack, and at least some definition. This generally does not come from itself, and requires some time in the gym or at least that person working out. This is the difference between aiming for a muscular body, and bodybuilding. Most guys that take roids and take working out to the extreme..yeah..it's not for everyone, and that is the point where most girls feel it is too much. Link to comment
OptomisticGirl Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 No. when I see a overly muscle guy with a six pack (while nice to admire) I instantly think he's over compensating for something. Give me a guy that has some meat on his bones, healthy, and has that natural ability to be stronger than I am, and I think that's the sexiest thing in the world. Link to comment
CarnelianButterfly Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 I like all types of guys, but I'm more interested in the personality than the body. My only issue with guy that work out a lot, is that they are devoted to the gym. I understand having a passion or a goal, for example my friend that is working up to being a pro MMA fighter, his weight training is a big deal, but for the average guy more than being in healthy shape is over doing it.

cazmoore Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 No I don't, but I also don't want to date a guy with flabby moobs and a beer belly with a pouch of fat over his junk. Link to comment
dragon lady Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 I'm not too fussed on the gym rats who like to look at themselves in the mirror and kiss their muscles. I'd put them on par with those model-esque girls with inflated self-esteem who want everyone to know how gorgeous they are. It's actually kinda lame. I much prefer a nice face and a lanky body. That's not to say I haven't wanted to have hot sex with a buff guy. I just don't tend to look for that in a boyfriend. Of course, if he were humble, then I wouldn't say no. It's just that I rarely meet a humble gym rat. Link to comment
siddharta Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 yeahh but what about an athletic body, with some nice abs, nice chest, big shoulders but not too big, would you prefer that rather than a regular one? Link to comment
OptomisticGirl Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 yeahh but what about an athletic body, with some nice abs, nice chest, big shoulders but not too big, would you prefer that rather than a regular one? nope because I don't have the body of a Victoria Secret model. Link to comment
kenshinkitten Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 I've been told today by a friend that she does not like guys that are "buffed" from working out in the gym, and instead she prefers regular, a little bit over the "average joe" type of men. What do you think about it? I cannot stand muscular guys, if you're fit it's one thing but honestly I love a little bit of meat to hold onto. I need a butt and a belly. Average build, soooo sexy for me. Muscles literally do nothing for me. Link to comment
DreamerGirl27 Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 No, I am weird. I hate buff guys, I think they look like big apes. I like skinny guys. The guy I like right now, my mom and one of my friends keeps telling me looks TOO skinny. I don't see it. They are both a little "thick", though, so I can see how they would think he is too skinny. No offense to them, but they keep telling me he is too skinny and I don't think he looks too skinny. One of my friends even told me he looks emaciated (he definitely does not). I prefer really thin people in general, though. I just bought a size 0 pair of jeans today and I think I look fat. Don't ask me how I managed to get a size 0, when I normally wear a size 5. I am small built, so I prefer small guys. Link to comment
Lamour detruit Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 nope because I don't have the body of a Victoria Secret model. Does that matter ? Anyway, a proper representation of real life is more likely to show most girls do enjoy somewhat of a muscular body in terms of eye candy. There is however a massive difference between a gym rat and someone who works out to maintain a toned body. The first is more likely to be frowned upon, the second..is preferred. Link to comment
DreamerGirl27 Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 I also don't like fat guys...sooo...yeah. I just like skinny guys...no muscle...no fat, either. lol a skinny guy with muscular skinny arms is kinda hot, though. lol I don't like big people. lol Link to comment
Sparkly Eyes Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 If by attraction you only mean their physics, yes. I'm not gonna lie to you, I find muscular guys very very attractive. I don't mean a super big muscles, but relatively big muscles are sexy. Some of those guys have attitudes that really turn me off tho. Link to comment
g84 Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 No, i never really cared about large muscles in general. A bit of definition could be nice, but nothing on the extreme side. Link to comment
lloz Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Seems like there might be a lot of truth in this article? link removed I'm just a bit surprised to see the number of girls here who claim to like skinny/lanky guys, or turned off by guys who go to the gym at all. Edit: Well, it's about faces mostly but still I think you can see how it might apply. Link to comment

Edit: Well, it's about faces mostly but still I think you can see how it might apply. That is interesting. I also prefer "baby faces" to masculine faces. I don't think it has anything to do with where I live, though. I think I am just weird. lol I'm 25 and I look like I'm 16 because I have a baby face, and I like men who look like me. In other words, I'm in love with myself. lol See...told you I was just weird. Link to comment
lloz Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 True enough, there are so many factors at play as far as attraction goes. Seems just a bit random for most people. Interesting that there's that trend, though. I think it was just what dragon lady said that made me think of the article I much prefer a nice face and a lanky body. That's not to say I haven't wanted to have hot sex with a buff guy. I just don't tend to look for that in a boyfriend. And then from the article, Men who are really attractive tend to be able to pursue whatever mating strategy is best for them," she added. "They are more likely to prefer short-term relationships. More feminine men tend to be better providers." Is it true that skinny guys are just assumed to be better boyfriends or something, and more fit guys are looked at as some kind of players?

Lamour detruit Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Article sounds like a bit of nonsense to me. I can see why more muscular guys are presumed players when they show it off as much as possible, because they know the girls will like it. I don't think skinny guys are looked at as better boyfriends though. Link to comment
greywolf Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 I don't like buff guys either. I have met a couple of 'buff' guys that I found really attractive, but that was because I knew their personality as well. Link to comment
Juxtapoz Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 not into buff. it's kind of lame. and i can't help but assume they're vain...when a guy spends more time in front of the mirror than i do, he's an unlikely candidate for my attraction and affection. a little tone is good. but i'm more about the face than anything, and that's something to thank or curse the genes for, not to find at the gym.
