also you mentioned women in his book saying they hated his body
all i remember is two teenage girls in an ice cream shop saying "he'd be really cute" if it wasn't for the muscles
i didn't read the whole book but i hope you aren't saying two teenage girls are speaking for all women

Look..I'm not saying that all women find bodybuilders disgusting, or that Bob Paris never had any female admirers...but what I am saying is that while me and you might look at people like Paris, Ray, Nubret, Benefatto, etc, and see some of the most aesthetically pleasing physiques of all time, ....most women see them as far too huge and disgusting.
This isn't to say that bodybuilders have trouble getting laid, but that is generally for other reasons then women finding them aesthetically pleasing...most of which go beyond the scope of a simple post on this thread.
To radically simplify it though... Men have a far greater sense of aesthetics then women do, and that is one of the many reasons why women don't give a rats ass about BBing.
