Title: What Women Think About Bodybuilders
Post by: SF1900 on September 21, 2014, 10:55:02 AM
The article was written by Rachel Khona: Dating, relationships, fashion & pop culture writer. ::) ::)

http://www.askmen.com/dating/heidi_600/617_what-women-think-about-bodybuilders.html

"I don't know where men got the idea that bodybuilding is hot, but, trust me, it's not."

What woman doesn’t like a muscular man? Buff arms, a broad chest and strong shoulders make women feel protected and secure. Guys aren’t doing set after set of crunches 'cause it’s fun; they know how much ladies love six-pack abs. But there’s a fine line between sexy and skanky. Bodybuilders take a step (or five) too far by bulking up way beyond any normal standards. By morphing their bodies into exaggerated — some might even say grotesque — shapes, they successfully manage to gross out women everywhere. I don't know where men got the idea that bodybuilding is hot, but, trust me, it's not.

We admit it, there's a vanity double standard
Adonis complex, anyone? We’re the ones who are supposed to take longer getting ready. Primping, fussing and spending two hours in the bathroom is traditionally the domain of women, and we like it like that. If she’s the wash-and-go type, she’s even less likely to enjoy your obsession with your appearance. In the book Adonis Complex, author Harrison Pope details at length stories of women whose partners became so consumed with getting bigger that they allowed their relationships to falter. Some of these guys spent so much time at the gym that they rarely saw their partners, while others simply relished so much obsessive attention on their bodies that their partners felt invisible by comparison. Either way, it sucked for the ladies.

We're creeped out by your protruding veins

Ooh, is that a vein? Maybe I can give you a shot! Many men become so infatuated with themselves they actually forget what's attractive to women. Veins bulging out of your limbs, neck and even your forehead are just plain gross. Veins are for the Incredible Hulk, not a normal man.

The stuffed sausage look is deeply distressing
Sausage — delicious! But so delicious we like to be reminded of it every time we see your bare arms? No, not really! Make it rain? More like make it dry. When your insides look like they’re going to burst out of your skin, it’s almost painful to look at.

We're confused by your bizarre bodily proportions
Bodybuilders tend to have gigantic shoulders stacked on top of tiny little waists. We understand that many men love the idea of a woman with extra-large breasts and a pinched waist, but the aesthetic does not translate well across the sexes. On a man, the shape borders on monstrosity. Yes, broad shoulders on a guy are an absolute turn-on, but broad shoulders are not the same as colossal monstrous shoulders. It’s all about proportion.

Your tan shouldn't look like it has a smell
To be fair, orange skin tone doesn’t come from bodybuilding, but it does come with the territory. Bodybuilders are so fixated with looking like Arnold circa 1985 that they not only work out past the point of normalcy, but they tan so hard they look like burnt hot dogs. Red, leathery skin should be saved for a handbag.

If you enjoy working out, don't feel like we're singling you out. Women love a fit body.

Think Matthew McConaughey playing the bongos (ignoring, for all intents, the bongos) or Brad Pitt in Fight Club — lean and sexy, not big and monstrous. We want someone we can wrap our arms around, not a guy who’d be able to break our hand by squeezing his pecs together.

We love concern, but not obsession, about appearance

Looking good will no doubt win you points with the ladies. But obsessing about your appearance and asking your lady if you’re big enough is not attractive. Make sure you’re in shape, your threads are cute, you smell good, and your hair is combed. These are the hallmarks of someone who cares about his appearance but isn’t consumed by it.

Smooth skin is sexy, rippled skin not so much
There’s nothing like rubbing your hands all over your man. But if he’s vein-y, ripply and bulging, it’s easy to get turned off. Toned arms and a taut chest are delicious to touch, but vein-y skin is not. The only thing we should be feeling besides skin is hair, not veins.

We love your skin! Don't paint it!
Lightly bronzed is sexy; looking like you’re developing skin cancer is not. Overly tanned skin ages and looks saggy earlier than unexposed skin. Do yourself a favor and skip the George Hamilton look for a fresh, natural skin tone.

Yes, women like a man who looks good and takes care of himself. But just like men don’t like a woman who looks botoxed and slathered in makeup with triple F boobs, a woman doesn’t like a man who looks like he spends 10 hours a day starting at himself in the gym mirror. Excessive vanity is not an attractive trait on anyone — male or female. Do yourself a favor and skip the extra hour at the gym and get outside and enjoy your life instead.

That is the best part. There is this weird thought among people that bodybuilders or people who lift seriously spend 15 hours a day in the gym. Do people really think people who lift live inside the gym and don't get out? Many serious lifter have jobs, families, etc. Who are these idiots that come up with these ridiculous ideas?  :-\

"Sure, I like rippling arms, chest, shoulders, abs, who doesn't? It just can't be too much"

So, she likes muscles, just not "too much". Err, OK.

I think I would be insanely happy if some women proclaimed me "too muscular". Never gonna happen.

yes, but sleeping with that twink, then sleeping with an in-shape powerful dude... she's going to prefer the dude that straight beats it up in the bedroom.  She'll parade around the Adam Levine to all her friends... but she'll crawl thru sewer pipes to get plowed by the bodyguard when Adam's doing his show. 

kinda like the way "men prefer the skinny model" but you put a thick hottie in bed and we're taking that any day!

Yes, according to Shockwave's wife, a big back makes a man look fat in clothes. Best to have narrow clavicles and the same circumference from waist to chest. Perfection.

I think there is a mix, however, I'm vascular everywhere and most women appreciate the hard work I put into my physique.  Women are curious about it and I seem to attract a crowd at the Red Cross.

Agreed. A beautiful women would not mind being seen with this guy and dating him. Solid build and good looking. No way a hot women would turn him down, especially one with good confidence.

A good face will def help him, since most women are much more face oriented. But again, he carries too much muscle mass. Only a small group of women will feel attracted to this.

Yeah, I remember that Parker once posted a vid with a group of single males and females. Based on their facial geometry and other data, researchers estimated the potential couples, and guess what... They had a pretty high success rate at the end of the test.

Good looking people go with good looking people (of course exceptions to every rule).

I still disagree. A gorgeous women would love to be with a guy like that (the pic I posted). Like I said, he is big but not grossly big and he has good facial aesthetics. It would be a small select women who will like him because that small selection of women are the only ones who would be confident enough to date him. Most other women would not date him not because hes too big, but because they would feel intimidated to date someone like him. They would always think he is cheating on them.

It would be a small select women who will like him because that small selection of women are the only ones who would be confident enough to date him. Most other women would not date him not because hes too big, but because they would feel intimidated to date someone like him. They would always think he is cheating on them.

The thing is that men and women have a different perspective on this; the animated picture shows this. You say it right: "a small select women", so most women don't feel attracted to him, and not only out of insecurity. A light muscular <200 pound guy like Brad Pitt in Troy attracts way more women, no wonder why both Pitt & Troy were a big hit.
A bigger lean guy, say 210 and more is much more focused on eating well & working out than a lighter guy. It's also this lifestyle (some call it obsession) that turns off women (I speak from experience, LOL).

I agree with you about the lifestyle. Id say most women would not want a really muscular guy due to the stigma associated with bodybuilders (they spend hours in the gym, eat all day, etc).

Dude, but youre talking about COMPETITIVE bodybuilders. I know a fair amount of big dudes who dont spend hours in the gym, kitchen, or tanning. They just lift (and obviously take gear). I agree that most women will not dig this. But a really built guy who balances his time most women would want.

Sure, there are plenty of guy that just lift and go home. The example (a model!) that you've posted however is keen on his diet, trains more than 3 times a week and def brings a visit to a tanning salon. Most women can't/won't accept this time consuming lifestyle, esp not with children.

Hahaha
I'd refer to this as a Slumpbuster.  There are plenty of women who like the jacked look.  Of course, not all...this would be foolish to assume.
The portrayal of a bodybuilder is someone who goes for the athletic blonde type with implants....which is not true either.  This will of course put off most women who do not fit into this mold.  Reject before being rejected.
There are your group of women who even prefer unattractive guys.  It keeps the attention on them and they feel it's an easy guy to hold on to.
This mediocre bitch on her high horse about not being attracted to bbers is quite funny though...I say thanks for the laugh. ;)

Again, I disagree. Going to the gym, and following a diet plan and tanning (if you choose to tan) is not more than women will accept. Dude, Ive had plenty of girlfriends where I did this (I did not tan) and it was never an issue. It becomes an issue when your girlfriends grandfather dies and you say to her, "I cant go to the funeral because I cant miss a work out or meal" or you say to her, "Sorry, I have to cancel our 10 year anniversary plans because its leg day." Then it becomes a problem. Going to the gym and following a diet plan is not too much for most women to accept.

Dude, youre picking the wrongs ones lol.

The article was written by Rachel Khona: Dating, relationships, fashion & pop culture writer. ::) ::)

http://www.askmen.com/dating/heidi_600/617_what-women-think-about-bodybuilders.html

"I don't know where men got the idea that bodybuilding is hot, but, trust me, it's not."

What woman doesn’t like a muscular man? Buff arms, a broad chest and strong shoulders make women feel protected and secure. Guys aren’t doing set after set of crunches 'cause it’s fun; they know how much ladies love six-pack abs. But there’s a fine line between sexy and skanky. Bodybuilders take a step (or five) too far by bulking up way beyond any normal standards. By morphing their bodies into exaggerated — some might even say grotesque — shapes, they successfully manage to gross out women everywhere. I don't know where men got the idea that bodybuilding is hot, but, trust me, it's not.

We admit it, there's a vanity double standard
Adonis complex, anyone? We’re the ones who are supposed to take longer getting ready. Primping, fussing and spending two hours in the bathroom is traditionally the domain of women, and we like it like that. If she’s the wash-and-go type, she’s even less likely to enjoy your obsession with your appearance. In the book Adonis Complex, author Harrison Pope details at length stories of women whose partners became so consumed with getting bigger that they allowed their relationships to falter. Some of these guys spent so much time at the gym that they rarely saw their partners, while others simply relished so much obsessive attention on their bodies that their partners felt invisible by comparison. Either way, it sucked for the ladies.

We're creeped out by your protruding veins

Ooh, is that a vein? Maybe I can give you a shot! Many men become so infatuated with themselves they actually forget what's attractive to women. Veins bulging out of your limbs, neck and even your forehead are just plain gross. Veins are for the Incredible Hulk, not a normal man.

The stuffed sausage look is deeply distressing
Sausage — delicious! But so delicious we like to be reminded of it every time we see your bare arms? No, not really! Make it rain? More like make it dry. When your insides look like they’re going to burst out of your skin, it’s almost painful to look at.

We're confused by your bizarre bodily proportions
Bodybuilders tend to have gigantic shoulders stacked on top of tiny little waists. We understand that many men love the idea of a woman with extra-large breasts and a pinched waist, but the aesthetic does not translate well across the sexes. On a man, the shape borders on monstrosity. Yes, broad shoulders on a guy are an absolute turn-on, but broad shoulders are not the same as colossal monstrous shoulders. It’s all about proportion.

Your tan shouldn't look like it has a smell
To be fair, orange skin tone doesn’t come from bodybuilding, but it does come with the territory. Bodybuilders are so fixated with looking like Arnold circa 1985 that they not only work out past the point of normalcy, but they tan so hard they look like burnt hot dogs. Red, leathery skin should be saved for a handbag.

If you enjoy working out, don't feel like we're singling you out. Women love a fit body.

Think Matthew McConaughey playing the bongos (ignoring, for all intents, the bongos) or Brad Pitt in Fight Club — lean and sexy, not big and monstrous. We want someone we can wrap our arms around, not a guy who’d be able to break our hand by squeezing his pecs together.

We love concern, but not obsession, about appearance

Looking good will no doubt win you points with the ladies. But obsessing about your appearance and asking your lady if you’re big enough is not attractive. Make sure you’re in shape, your threads are cute, you smell good, and your hair is combed. These are the hallmarks of someone who cares about his appearance but isn’t consumed by it.

Smooth skin is sexy, rippled skin not so much
There’s nothing like rubbing your hands all over your man. But if he’s vein-y, ripply and bulging, it’s easy to get turned off. Toned arms and a taut chest are delicious to touch, but vein-y skin is not. The only thing we should be feeling besides skin is hair, not veins.

We love your skin! Don't paint it!
Lightly bronzed is sexy; looking like you’re developing skin cancer is not. Overly tanned skin ages and looks saggy earlier than unexposed skin. Do yourself a favor and skip the George Hamilton look for a fresh, natural skin tone.

Yes, women like a man who looks good and takes care of himself. But just like men don’t like a woman who looks botoxed and slathered in makeup with triple F boobs, a woman doesn’t like a man who looks like he spends 10 hours a day starting at himself in the gym mirror. Excessive vanity is not an attractive trait on anyone — male or female. Do yourself a favor and skip the extra hour at the gym and get outside and enjoy your life instead.

That's just one white Lesbian's opinion

Esp the training, which often means 3-4 evenings per week. I hear these stories so often from gym buddies (poor fuckers with lazy/depending partners). One guy married in July (no children) and since then I see him once or twice per week. Another guy is pretty keen on his nutrition, while his girlfriend is permabulking  :-\

You couldn't be more wrong. I see skinny dorks with beautiful women daily and the good looking men either can't get shit or have so so women. Now this also could depend on where you live too.

This is my breakdown in order of what women want by preference:

Preference 1) Money, good looks, and muscles.

Preference 2) Money, ugly, and skinny.

Preference 3) Average income, good looks and muscles.

Preference 4) Average income, ugly, and skinny.

As you see, preference 2 (with money) trumps average income, good looks and muscles (this also applies for men looking for women, maybe with some tweaks). Of course most women want number 1. However, as they get older, reality sets in and they begin to realize what they can and cannot get. Most women will wind up with either Preference 3 and 4, as preference 1 and 2 are save for models or women with a lot of cash.

Wrong. A neurosurgeon (brain surgeon), on average, make $775,968. So, close to a million dollars a year. If youre a neurosurgeon and make close to a million dollars a year, that will trump looks. Money does not trump look only when youre a billionaire.  ::) ::) The average American income is about 55k. If you have an occupation where you brining home a few hundred thousand a year, youre good to go, even if youre skinny and ugly.

Most women are not going to turn down a neurosurgeon who makes 775K a year because hes not a billionaire, even if he is ugly. Oh brotha.

In terms of getting women:
Neurosurgeon (775K per year) and ugly > Construction worker (55K a year) and good looking.

True. Money > everything.

An ex colleague of mine was major fitness junkie. She was one of those chicks who is pretty cool, but a little in your face about "the lifestyle" and eating right and respecting yourself and your partner by being in shape. Her fiancee was much the same. Had a good physique, worked hard in the gym, repped for a supplement company - he was every bit as much "lifestyle" as she was.

They'd walk down the street together and turn heads, and fat chicks would fall over themselves to find fault with them  :)

I bumped into her last Christmas when i was back home. She's now 30 pounds heavier, looks like shit and is engaged to a multi millionaire software geek. She showed me a photo - he's considerably older, looks like he's lived on milk and gummy bears his whole life, is - in her own words - "a bit autistic", but supposedly is the man of her dreams.

She's also now driving the car of her dreams and has a choice of 4 dream houses/apartments overlooking Sydney Harbour (or in Byron Bay).

So much for 'the lifestyle'.

Men with money will always be successful with women/gold diggers.

However, if you take 100 guys who are all earning similar wages, the ones with the best personality will generally have the most success with women.

Being good looking and having muscles is useful of course as women will find it an attractive trait but as long as you have a good and confident personality and have at least reasonable looks then you shouldn't have any problems getting women.

A guy who is very shy and socially awkward will have difficulty even if he is handsome and well built.

Personality is extremely attractive!

I have to agree with u on that, ive had buddys of mine who had me in the body department but they had the personality of a frog,id always end up with the better broad,when I say better I don't always mean looks and body,i mean great human being with great personality and a caring person,looks will fade but those qualities I just mentioned never fade.when u r sick and aging u will see what I mean

this articel is only applicable to washed up nobodies women who are too old and fat anyway and stuck in the daily grind of mediocrity and juggling bills

they want a rich man to solve all their financial problems and therefore claim to be attracted to them and not juiced up gods



that's ok

i never want those old sagging bitches anyway with their floppy arms and bulging guts


i want me some sweet 18 years tight ebony babes


the ones who live with parents and have no concept of money


just worship muscular men and study every vein on my arm

it's really true, they STUDY the veins on my arms

lol @ article

bitter never has been never will beens undesirable entitled women who will never amount to shit (oh well technically they look like shit and have sort of amounted to it in that sense)

let me explain this to you all very simply.

if your talking about a girl/ woman who just wants laid, its very easy. you dont need flow charts, graphs and whatever the fuck else to explain it- its not rocket science.

at my biggest (312lbs) i was approached by, and banging, hot broads.

at my leanest (230lbs) i was approached by, and banging, hot broads.

why?

cause im fucking handsome.

and im not a retard who cant string together 2 words.

money, size, leanness, muscularity all that shit doesnt matter. have a good face, and can talk, your getting laid. its all that other shit you need if you dont have the first two.

carry on.

Yeah, but randomly getting laid is much different than being with someone long-term. Sure, a good face and being well spoken can help you get laid. But is that all that is needed to keep a women long term?

ever hear of something called 'love'? where two people meet and regardless of all intrinsic factors have a deep desire to be with each other and try to make a run at it?

if your dating a woman who sees you as a 'criteria' rather than someone she truly desires to be with regardless of your station your fucked from jump anyway. good luck w having any kind of future happiness or making it work.

Yeah, but you do realize that if you reverse the letters in "love" you get "evol".  Furthermore, the ancient Hebrews (who were originally Black) often used the ancient Black Hebrew letter for "i" which coinkadinkaly looks just like the not so ancient whitey letter "o".  Kind of like if you look at correspondence form the time of the American (whitey) Revolution a letter that looks like an "f" is used where the letter "s" should be.

From this we can see that women who claim to be  filled with "love" are actuality chock full o' nuts "evol" or as whitey would spell it, "evil".

Or something like that.

Most women today want MONEY.  They could care less about love.  They will choose a WUB (Wealthy Ugly Bastard) over a nice looking poor, mildly successful or even financially solid man if they can suck a WUB's wallet/bank account/trust fund or what have you, dry. Note that I said "most women",  not all women.

These women will claim to find a nose the size of Rhode Island and body odor that would make a dung beetle think he was at a buffet somehow "attractive" (this explains women with pro-affletes or arab sheiks).  They will espouse the joys of making woopie with a man who looks 7 months or more pregnant because his beer belly is soooooooooooo "cute" and "fun to ride".  They will leave their husband for Gollum if Gollum just gives them the ring.

Then, when they get older and start to sag and are cast aside like a broken Popeil Pocket Fisherman and can no longer convince a WUB their worth it in bed, then and only then do they want "love".

Nah.  They still  want your money.

The article was written by Rachel Khona: Dating, relationships, fashion & pop culture writer. ::) ::)

http://www.askmen.com/dating/heidi_600/617_what-women-think-about-bodybuilders.html

"I don't know where men got the idea that bodybuilding is hot, but, trust me, it's not."

What woman doesn’t like a muscular man? Buff arms, a broad chest and strong shoulders make women feel protected and secure. Guys aren’t doing set after set of crunches 'cause it’s fun; they know how much ladies love six-pack abs. But there’s a fine line between sexy and skanky. Bodybuilders take a step (or five) too far by bulking up way beyond any normal standards. By morphing their bodies into exaggerated — some might even say grotesque — shapes, they successfully manage to gross out women everywhere. I don't know where men got the idea that bodybuilding is hot, but, trust me, it's not.

We admit it, there's a vanity double standard
Adonis complex, anyone? We’re the ones who are supposed to take longer getting ready. Primping, fussing and spending two hours in the bathroom is traditionally the domain of women, and we like it like that. If she’s the wash-and-go type, she’s even less likely to enjoy your obsession with your appearance. In the book Adonis Complex, author Harrison Pope details at length stories of women whose partners became so consumed with getting bigger that they allowed their relationships to falter. Some of these guys spent so much time at the gym that they rarely saw their partners, while others simply relished so much obsessive attention on their bodies that their partners felt invisible by comparison. Either way, it sucked for the ladies.

We're creeped out by your protruding veins

Ooh, is that a vein? Maybe I can give you a shot! Many men become so infatuated with themselves they actually forget what's attractive to women. Veins bulging out of your limbs, neck and even your forehead are just plain gross. Veins are for the Incredible Hulk, not a normal man.

The stuffed sausage look is deeply distressing
Sausage — delicious! But so delicious we like to be reminded of it every time we see your bare arms? No, not really! Make it rain? More like make it dry. When your insides look like they’re going to burst out of your skin, it’s almost painful to look at.

We're confused by your bizarre bodily proportions


Bodybuilders tend to have gigantic shoulders stacked on top of tiny little waists. We understand that many men love the idea of a woman with extra-large breasts and a pinched waist, but the aesthetic does not translate well across the sexes. On a man, the shape borders on monstrosity. Yes, broad shoulders on a guy are an absolute turn-on, but broad shoulders are not the same as colossal monstrous shoulders. It’s all about proportion.

Your tan shouldn't look like it has a smell
To be fair, orange skin tone doesn’t come from bodybuilding, but it does come with the territory. Bodybuilders are so fixated with looking like Arnold circa 1985 that they not only work out past the point of normalcy, but they tan so hard they look like burnt hot dogs. Red, leathery skin should be saved for a handbag.

If you enjoy working out, don't feel like we're singling you out. Women love a fit body.

Think Matthew McConaughey playing the bongos (ignoring, for all intents, the bongos) or Brad Pitt in Fight Club — lean and sexy, not big and monstrous. We want someone we can wrap our arms around, not a guy who’d be able to break our hand by squeezing his pecs together.

We love concern, but not obsession, about appearance

Looking good will no doubt win you points with the ladies. But obsessing about your appearance and asking your lady if you’re big enough is not attractive. Make sure you’re in shape, your threads are cute, you smell good, and your hair is combed. These are the hallmarks of someone who cares about his appearance but isn’t consumed by it.

Smooth skin is sexy, rippled skin not so much
There’s nothing like rubbing your hands all over your man. But if he’s vein-y, ripply and bulging, it’s easy to get turned off. Toned arms and a taut chest are delicious to touch, but vein-y skin is not. The only thing we should be feeling besides skin is hair, not veins.

We love your skin! Don't paint it!
Lightly bronzed is sexy; looking like you’re developing skin cancer is not. Overly tanned skin ages and looks saggy earlier than unexposed skin. Do yourself a favor and skip the George Hamilton look for a fresh, natural skin tone.

Yes, women like a man who looks good and takes care of himself. But just like men don’t like a woman who looks botoxed and slathered in makeup with triple F boobs, a woman doesn’t like a man who looks like he spends 10 hours a day starting at himself in the gym mirror. Excessive vanity is not an attractive trait on anyone — male or female. Do yourself a favor and skip the extra hour at the gym and get outside and enjoy your life instead.







Hmmmmm..... That's exactly what we want ...the best compliment for a bodybuilder is to tell him he looks like the incredible Hulk himself..... who the fuck cares what women prefers?  


A woman wear heels even if it kills her feet,breaks her back, heavy makeup on humid days, spend $$$$ in hair products,nails, silly mega pricey dresses ,purses etc.......and will feel suicidal if you don't notice or pay her a lousy compliment ...

Man & woman are different   go tell that to the article writer one more time.

WooOSSSHHHH
