Is it better to look normal in clothes or big in clothes?

[IroNat]

Hmm...posting pics of 1940s bodybuilders...who is this gimmick?

Funk?
Body-Buildah?

Where is Body-Buildah?  He was good.

Is that you, BB?

Tbh I believe in being like Lou Ferrigno in the incredible hulk, big and bulky, 10-15% bodyfat and good muscle roundness, wearing clothes that are slightly tight and looking like beast

Problem is if you are lean and healthy for longevity sake... you look like this

6'3 - 165lbs

But he will get all the slim pussy   

10 X 100m sprint on the beach/hill every day & no Olympia boy can catch you 

[IRON CROSS]

Best is to be healthy.

YES !.

That guy is on all sorts of PEDs too.

He's lean so still looks impressive in some pics.

It is better to wear whatever you are comfortable in than to worry about how good you look. Women love men who are confident. Confident to wear what they like.

Not sure you're responding to the original question. This isn't  "what shall I wear". This is "is it better to look normal in clothes and be absolutely shredded when removing your shirt vs being so big and jacked the material from your clothes stretch out over the muscles." Not so hard to comprehend.

I have heard people debate this before. Some say it is better to be lean and ripped and look like you don't work out when wearing a shirt, then when you get a woman alone and take your shirt off she will be surprised and be in awe at your chiseled physique. Other voices say it is better to be big and muscular and make the clothes stretch over big muscles, so everyone knows you're jacked. My personal opinion is to be big and look big in clothes. What's the point in lifting if you disappear in a shirt?

Edit: This isn't about lean vs fat. This is about big muscle vs extreme leanness.

My response was to the part of your original post shown above that I bolded. You brought up how women react. Women react positively to men who are confident and often could care less if the man is ripped or big and muscular.

Just be in shape and get properly fitted clothes.  If they fit correctly then you will look like you lift.

The OP is:
Your Average Gym Rat
The Trainer
The Red Meat Kid
Monster Mike

And a zillion other gimmick handles.

Exactly. Look at Conor, looks very muscular and athletic is is 155-165 lbs. But you should go to a suit store like even Men's Warehouse and usually can get your body dimensions taken for free to learn what clothes fit you. You then learn how to ask for slight alterations from a tailor to accentuate your physique. Problem is, if you buy cheap off the rack clothes, they won't alter them for that price, and those clothes all have the same dimensions and are not designed with a specific cut. They are generic Chinese shirts and pants mass produced in factories. Ross in particular does not tell you that those "overstocked" clothes you are getting a great deal on, often had an irregularity or stitching issue that most people would never notice. You want to look good in clothes?, then pay what is costs and take the time to look good in clothes.

What about vascularity?  Do you find that your ultra vascularity helps or hurts with chicks?

Hurts. The only people who find it appealing and give me compliments are -- surprise! Other men in the gym. I'm not at the repulsive Frank McGrath level but the few times I asked a woman's opinion they would just generously reply something along the lines,  "No big deal but you'd look better without them."

Louie was insane in the movie. As I have said before, if he decided to waste his life on bodybuilding he would have a row of Sandows until Haney, but even then Louie would have grown and matured and crush the Haney era as well.

I am most comfortable when I'm just walking around in my underwear.

How you dress can make the difference between you getting that job.

Sweat pants and a T-shirt is probably the most universally comfortable clothes to walk around in public. Yeah, that will scream success and attract the hotties.

You really need to think more before you speak.

Cīmon man get real. He was Arnoldīs bitch and Haney? ... lol  man he was no where near his full package development. Did he not win the Masters Olympia? the one Joe gave him

He would have easily beaten Frank Zane and won a couple Olympias in the late 70s he went to Hollywood during his Prime years

Streetwear is literally the most popular fashion look at the moment, a pair of nice joggers and a tee will absolutely get you some "hotties"
