Women like muscles

Seems women like men with muscles.  Who would have thunk it?

[Lily]

Yes it is true  but not overdone

This study was based on college students.  It is well known that most women of this age value a hot body over a hot mind.  I think if they had extended the study to women in their 30's and 40's, they would have come up with very different results.  Of course physical appearance is always an issue but other assets override this as women mature, unlike men.

Yes, it would be interesting to see what the more mature women would say.

As for me, I used to be attracted to the male muscles since my teenage years, but at that time tried to persuade myself and to try liking the slim men..because people around me were thinking that slim body is beatiful. So I wanted to change my taste in that...but I failed. It was a bad idea indeed.

Now I have learned not to be afraid of trusting my instincts.

Oh to be young again. I now have a "Chest of drawers", that is my chest has begun to slip down towards my "Draws".

How timely is this?

LOL, I sure hope this wasn't a government study in which tax payer funds were used because this study is about as obvious as trying to figure out why people don't like to hug cactus's.

Anyone who thinks that physical features aren't important, regardless of age is kidding themselves. Older women may be more forgiving, but given the choice between a guy who has the body and one who doesn't (all other things being equal) I'm convinced they're going to make a decision based upon physical characteristics - on average that is.  I think this would be especially true in the FSU because obesity isn't the epidemic there that it is here in the US, and as most of the men there are slender, the ones who have the muscle tone are going to be the ones that stand out.

However, in the 3 weeks that I was in Ukraine this past May (Vinnitsa, Kiev, Poltava, Kharkov, Lugansk, and Alchevsk). I can count on 1 hand the number of muscular looking men I saw. As someone who is obsessed with weight lifting I'm always looking to see what other guys bring to the table. As stupid as it sounds guys who think they've got muscles are always looking at what other guys have so they can draw a comparison.

The funny thing about American culture is that even though obesity is a problem here, there are also a lot of people in our culture who are not only health conscious, but physical fitness fanatics. Seeing as gym memberships aren't something the average Russian or Ukrainian has, I think the American version of muscular will definitely stand out in a place like Russia or Ukraine.  Just my 2 cents

From the article :

Muscular men were twice as likely to have had more than three sex partners than less-built types.

And what... i am not muscular build... but do you think that there is a big difference between a non-muscular who have know 100 sex partner and a muscular one who have know 103 sex partner...

Or maybe the writer mean having 3 sex partner in the same time 

Honestly, be a play-boy can be a plague for dating.... of the girls think that you are a homosexual, or they thing that you cannot be a valuable partner since all the ladies who gravitate around you, or they think that they are not good enough for so guy, or they think...

And in the real life, i know people more ugly that me ( yes, they exist but there is not a lot )... but they are able to lay down a new girlfriend each week... they have humour or they have a big wallet or they are romantic or they are...

I often wonder since sex is natural why people have to brag so much? Just be natural and do your own thing, 3 or 103 partners is only a number. You can have sex 1,000 times with 3 people or only once with 103 people. I think it is a thing about youth, to brag.

Turkey starts it every time. . .

That is way funny. . .

Remember the 70's -

While on extended visits to Estonia I attended the local gym regularly - The equipment looked like something from the mid 60's.  While I don't get muscled up any more due to age and time restrictions; I did pay attention to the guys in this gym - a few athletes, a few naturaly strong guys - nothing like the gyms here in the US.  HOWEVER, the women were in "much" better shape. . . lean and mean.

I like guys who take care of their bodies and go to gym and enjoy any sports activity , as I love sports a lot its just my second hobby after music, I go to gym every weekend and love basketball and volleyball , tennis and swimming:) and many many more  I consider that sports is an essential part of everyday life it develops stamina and strong character the possibility of a person to overcome a lot of hardships and bad moments in life, sports can give us that sort of feeling that we can do a lot , we can overcome a lot of things and can feel our strong spirit in a strong healthy body.

 but I am fine with my boy  my sweetheart who does not really care much about sports he likes volleyball and boxing,racing,  but mostly he loves laying on the sofa:) He got a perfect body anyway, I like  a little chubby belly to squeeze , so I doubt I would be attracted to a guy with bricks of huge muscles, cos the main thing in sport is to do it for health , not the other way , cos mostly professional sport gives nothing but injuries and some people after different traumas and such huge pressure can not live till 60 y.o cos professional sport really do damage the health . Especially these bodybuilders they eat proteins and other hormones to grow the body muscle thus they reduce their ability to have kids cos some hormones are not healthy and can cause some bad effect on men 's and women's reproductivity and  health

So I prefer my boy to do sport as a hobby for his entertainment and just to keep fit:) He got the necessary muscles anyway:)

Little chubby bellies at 25 become large pendulous jellybelies by 40

Doesn't need to be so.
I lost 10 kilos in 3 months by changing my food and got my ass back in the gym.
If i can do it so can anyone.

[mervin]

I agree, simple changes in diet can do wonders! Just by giving up soda will do wonders for the average person. A chubby belly does not have to turn into a giant shed that hangs over your tool! 

The hardest thing is getting started, but once you get started with exercise it becomes addicting and you'll soon find that you're gonna want to be in the gym all the time. If you stick with it for a month or two it becomes habit. Just don't turn into one of those guys with the big chest and arms with little stick legs! I hate going to the gym and looking at all those one dimensional types. Your legs are 2/3 of your body and exercising them help get you in better shape than anything else. I'll never understand why so many exercise fanatics neglect them.

[mervin]

Aren't any of our "vain" musclebound members going to post their picture?

[Jazzyclassy]

yeah I think if it is little chubby belly (puziko) like my boy has he will easily  get rid of it , he is rather slim himself

if he had like a huge belly already yeah then it is hard to get rid of it , as it is the deep  lipid under skin

Here is a photo of me.
Not much to see but at least it's a start.

[mervin]

good one!! Ok, if you are brave enough then I will be brave enough too!


not to brag or anything.....

careful boys and girls - those guns are loaded!!!

If you girls wanna touch em I'll put the safety on.

Your legs are 2/3 of your body and exercising them help get you in better shape than anything else.

Yeah...!!! I might have mentioned this once or thrice before, but I was watching that 2/3rds of Maria Sharapova the other night and for some strange reason I missed the other 1/3rd. At 6'2" if her legs are 2/3rds, then I calculate that out at 4' and 2/3rds" of legs and an arse "to die for". What a heavenly thought.

Seems like a good time to interject these two quotes which pretty much sum up my attitude toward exercise:

All those people who eat right, exercise, and take care of themselves are gonna be really pissed off when they 90 years old in the hospital dyin' a nothin'! -Redd Foxx

I was on a natural-food diet until I realized most people die of natural causes -George Carlin

Get in shape?  I am in shape... Round is a shape...

[Wayne B]

Yeah Phil, I find it harder and harder to maintain my six-pack.....especially if I drink one

A chubby belly does not have to turn into a giant shed that hangs over your tool! 

And. . . that would be the dickydoo disease?


Belly hangs over further than my dicky do. . .

lol

[jb]

In Texas we call that the Dunlop disease.   When your belly dun lopped over your belt buckle.

[ScottinCrimea]

So what's more important to an FSUW, the shoes or the muscles?  Maybe a lot of you guys can save the time and effort of going to the gym and just buy a pair of nice shoes.

[macman]

Good Idea Scott. . .  After the last foray of "stuff", buying shoes might be much more pleasant!
