How dare you disrespect our Lord and King: Arnold Schwarzenegger. I hope his majesty's time tested muscles never get wind of your blasphemy.
Ikr
get to the choppa
+xm377Moyocoyatzin He is the ideal man
+xm377Moyocoyatzin Schwarzenegger is a bundle of manhood, he is the symbol of dedication and success.
lol yeah. Arnold is the God of bodybuilding. His body was in complete proportion. You can't hate a God like body
building muscle is what makes you unique from the rest of the obese and out of shape population. Look around almost everyone I see is out of shape. that's why people see these muscular guys people can't help but stare since they are so unique to the population. not to mention building muscle displays a great personality traits such as hard work and dedication.
Well said.
PRoPreferred55 true
100% true
Ever since getting in shape I just can't help but feel disgust and contempt for the rest of the population. Everyone is such a fat fucking slob.
I doubt this is true, if you are running you are working out as well and usualsy dont weight a lot. neither are you out of shapen. however i think girls prefer guys working out intead of running(just my opinion)
Just because a guy is ripped doesn't mean he is in the gym all the time. You women would be amazed what just an hour a day for 5 days a week can do for you.
+Nathan Casanova Exactly....Yet they can spend hours putting up make up of just hanging in a bar with best friends...I am well toned and i only exercise for 1h:15 minutes for 4 days a week to say the least because i make time for it instead of doing stupid things others do in their free time
Yeah...They wish though!Guess who they sleep with the first time they get an opportunity!I have slept with so many married women and people´s girlfriends i should be banned.Hahhahha!I guet into a metro and you see this lady just staring at you especially when am wearing tights and + i am packed down there so it shows and i don´t care.Hope i don´t get shot one time though.heheheh!
+Marty Verone I have the ebook , Greek Body Work Out - it's amazing!!!
Haha that's rlly all u need
Big Nate I don't think they would know what an hour in a gym what do since most women now a days are fat and proud of it
Sry, but Arnold was fkn hot. No homo.
***** u wut mate?
***** Do you even lift bro?
Just by the fact you answered "sometimes" I can clearly see that you don't even lift. And if you do: do you agree with this girl in the video acting like Arnold had a gross body? And call me a fag?!? Dude...
***** I am relaxed, you just can't go around on the internet and call someone a "fag" for no reason. That's why there's so much hate and anger these days. People don't respect each other.
Arnie a good looking dude and yes me no homo either.
Saying muscular guys are always at the gym is like saying fat women eat only twinkies. There's a great genetic factor involved.
Muscular guys need to spend at least 3 hours a week in the gym
dude,... that's nothing. I spending four a week shitting.
That is not a lot.
Lol, yeah, genetics, keep telling yourself that :D
REALhacksDAILY epigenetics my guy. Pretty much no one takes into account how much your environment and habits have on the traits you actually express from your DNA. You could have the shittiest genetics but if take care of yourself you will Express the preferred genes and suppress the negative ones
to be honest being muscular is a choice and a way of life, what women like the most isn't going to change my personal goals.
and i really think the old spice guy doesnt look too great.
But women do.
I think it has to do with evolution. Our genetic ancestors were possibly similar to the people we attract now. Not every girl is into muscles well my friends aren’t their guys are just regular guys. Not into fitness at all. I think it really is your personality that is your greatest asset.
If you're training to get Arnold sized muscles, you're doing to get respect (mostly from dudes). Nothing wrong with that btw.
This reminds me of a question we asked ourselves in college.
"Can boobs be *too big*?"
My class actually gave this some serious thought.
Some of the guys asked found overly large breasts (DD or more) to be, not only, too big but a turn off.
Of women asked we found that though larger girls did get more *attention*; women between a B to a C-cup got more dates.
What do you think?
Do you find breast size *that important*?
E.W.E. Hughes Jr Very true.
DDs aren't even big to me...size is relative. To me JJs and larger are too big and Ds and smaller too small. It depends who you're asking to, me personally I never approach averagely built girls (skinny, average, fat) with average proportionated curves. It's down to preference, to me a C-Cup is a deal-breaker.
weiya Just remember that size doesn't equal quality.
The size of the breast doesn't equal the personality of the woman.
Don't throw away a perfectly good relationship because of size.
Misterprickly That's the most important thing to me too, I wouldn't date a girl who is boring and badly mannered regardless of looks (that includes everything about her physically, not just one bodypart), Looks are there to attract me so I make the move to approach her and the rest is about beeing smart, funny, witty, charismatic and caring to me aswell as overall chemistry and compatibility.
im asian....A cup to C cup is my style....yet again l love dutch girls...u know the....scrawny,pale,flat chested people....yeah...
I recently started lifting heavier weights than I always did and can see myself bulk up. I have seen more women that give me a second look, smile at me and some times even wave at me. Last night I hooked up with a girl and she complimented my muscles. I read this book many years ago which said Just like men are attracted to big boobs; women are attracted to big biceps(muscles in general); but obviously there is a limit. If her boobs are too big, that is not attractive.
Cool story bro.
She assumed, like many people seem to do, that someone in good condition will be in the gym all the time. Being ripped is more about diet. You only need put in an hour 4-5 days a week to get good results. Once again, people who don't take care of themselves never understand that.
u right
For definition it's 100% diet, for muscle gaining it's 100% exercise.
It's not really the size but how evenly toned the muscles are. Having a fit body is more important than looking like the Hulk.
I think women don't want to admit they like a lot of muscles on men because they know that a more muscular man means more competition from women. They don't want to have to deal with all of the female attention he gets...same if a man was with a super hot woman
very true
No, I think they just like tone more than steroid sized muscles.
huemanatee they like a whole lot of tone more than they like steroid size but overall they like it and feel protected. I've seen how even the most reserved women react to men with any muscle, and the more the more they are turned on and licking their lips. .I've seen this and even more proof women find this sexy is how popular male strip clubs are and what women do to these strippers in there. They will cheat on their boyfriends with these types of men
true, perhaps, but I don't think they would hide what level of muscle they like for the survey.
***** true but my point is if given the chance most women would cheat on their boyfriends secretly and act like nothing happened
I build muscle for myself, not to attract women.
I build muscle to feel better than other men around me ..so im saying that i do it for ladies :)
then why did u watched this in the first place?
Mayank Thakur To make this comment to be completely honest.
dreyrugr I can respect that. I think fitness should be personal, not something to use against or for others.
dreyrugr And that's what women really want. They want a guy that thinks about his own health so that they don't have to.
I would think this debate comes down to - Being healthy is more attractive than being unhealthy, for several biological/evolutionary reasons.
The funny thing is all the guys getting offended in the comments are smaller than the old spice guy. Noob bodybuilders always think they are way bigger than they actually are.
Arnold has more lean muscle mass in his forearm than most of you have in your entire body. You need a reality check.
+Boner Patrol Thanks for pointing out the obvious.
+SoilentGr33n bodybuilding is just a name given to any and all hypertrophy training
How do you know this may i ask? Becouse it makes absolutley no sence what u just said!!
I didn't want to become muscular, just wanted to drop a few pounds and get healthy, then I started benching, which led to presses, then all of a sudden I was squatting, and before I knew it the deadlift entered my life. Now I just want to become a freak!
lol. story of my life XD
+David Olsson first i started jogging to gett leaner. Then i started doing dips and push ups at home. Then I joined a gym. Know i am What many People would call a bodybuilder
@@davidolsson9496 samee lol
fact is women with confidence prefer muscular men and women who are fat and out of shape and jealous prefer fat dad bod men
lmao...
Ummmmm FALSE ;)
+Trancemaniac3000 Wait so you prefer muscular men?
Benjamin Shultz 😂😂😂😂harsh
Don't be a clueless ninny sport. Fat repulsive women like strong fit guys as much as confident good looking women do which is kind of laughable.
It’s funny af watching this when you red pill how she lying to blue pill to keep them weak instead improving they body
arnold is saluted on a daily by the lui
kees aap on a nightlyyyyy brah
+kees aap Baby plz. Does he even lift!
fuck luifago
women just dont appreciate the time and the hardwork bodybuilding entails it should be an indicationt hat they could work that hard in a relationship
The fear is that the passion for bodybuilding will leave little room for other passions - precisely because of the amount of time and hard work it takes. The best partner in this case would be a body building female who understands your passion and SHARES it because it would only add to, not compete with other aspects of your relationship.
Then don't work out for women, work out for yourself.
***** called water retention
lets see what you got probably 98 pound paper weight
I do appreciate the time, effort, pain, and dedication it takes, but none of that appreciation equates to *physical* attractiveness. It is particularly body builders that I find so unattractive (though I admire the effort they put into it).
she should calm down; she tries too hard
no she doesn't try too hard
ge0rgi0 Yes, she does
Johnny BagofDoughnuts tried so hard se nearly gave me one
Dude she's cute af. I don't think she should calm down
they all try too hard...but moan when realize its hurting
tbh, i perfer lanky/slender guys o//o even if their legs are skinner than mine.
i'm not really into the "handsome, ohoho i work out in the gym" kind of guys but idk, my preference might change as i get older.
Yeah too often I've met women who prefer beefier or even simple fat guys...
It's a tad frustrating being a tall and thing guy, hearing girls talk about fat guys like they are candy : /
Matt Crunk I have never heard women talk about like candy, I know cause I am a fat guy and nobody is lining up to taste this blubber, but I guess it all depends on where you are, how you were raised, from and your culture. So yeah, I know couples that the man is big or fat and the woman loves him for his personality and not his body, but not the other way around. Maybe the melting pot and collective mind of the Internet can provide an answer.
Matt Crunk
but the fat guys have all the candy and have you ever met any man or woman who doesn't like candy?
CGonzales033 Then I guess I am not a normal fat guy because I don't have candy. Not really ever and when I do have it the ladies are not coming out of the woodwork and swarming me to get some.
wut about ass?
i just feel that.. in the end, it all depend on specific individual preference.
Vince Vengeance smartest comment on RUclips don't ever change
Yeah, that's a good way to cop out of recognizing averages and quantitative data.
Women's definition of toned is very funny. The reality is you need to work your butt off for 2-3 years lifting weights to get to their idea of "toned". I hope no guys are watching this for an excuse not to lift heavy ass weight.
Exactly. Chris Evans, mentioned above as an example of a guy who is not too muscular, actually is near the limit most men could achieve without steroids.
Nail on the head.
to be toned, all you simply have to do is fast. If your heavy overweight then fast in proportion so you won't have loose skin as much. The loose skin goes away in time.
Someone said it.
I'm 6' 4" and 290lbs, and have a generally natural large build. I used to weight train a lot in my early 20's and was very muscular which was great for attracting one night stands but hardly any women who were interested in longer term relationships. I gotta say though that now i'm older (mid to late 30's) and loosing a little muscle for flab (which still leaves me toned but cuddly) that I definitely found it easier finding women who are more wanting a longer term relationship. My current girlfriend describes me as 'big and strong but cuddly', so yeah your right, looking like I might be less aggressive but still strong and able to protect her has definitely improved things.
You win comment of the day
So it's bad for a man to be at peak physical condition & shame us men for it? But it's perfectly fine to be a fat woman over 300 pounds because 'big is beautiful too' makes no sense what so ever.
being completely honest, I like skinny guys 😊
+Chemiical. That's not attractive in my opinion.
+A-Almansour Not me. I like athletic guys, but definitely not body builders. A guy under 130 lbs is usually unnatractive.
Thats because you are to young probubly!!
I like muscles, but I like small muscles, lean and wiry. But really big guys, like a John Cena or The Rock or whatever, I don't find that attractive. They look unnaturally proportioned and lumpy to me. As a small woman, it also makes me feel less safe. The idea that he's physically capable of picking me up and throwing me makes me feel uneasy, even if I know he wouldn't, I don't like knowing he could.
if i tell you simeone panda, steve cook or my body, wich body type would you choose?
rico moreno I don't know who those people are.
Then, google is your best buddie
rico moreno I guess yours. The other two guys look gross to me. especially that panda guy.
moonlily1 You know why they gross you out?
Because they have pushed their bodies above human limitations.
By using steroids.
You know a natural guy can never reach a body such as these two, because of this limit?
The same goes for girls, if you practice alot of musculation, you will never look muscular like female bodybuilder(unless you take steroid or testosterone) because our bodies are naturaly limited in terms of muscles gains.
The maximum limitation for men is "lean muscle".
For alot of men (inclued me) in musculation simeon panda has the best physique, god-like.
I think it's a misunderstanding that muscular men spend all their time working out and have to spare time for a relationship. Most men who are muscular and bodybuild as a hobby probably don't spend more than 10 hours a week on it which really isn't all that much. It isn't as if you neglect your girlfriend by spending an hour or two a day away from her.
Exactly
...I like how no one caught the bit where she said *in general* and mentioned how her sources were *studies*. All these beefcakes in the comments need to put down the roids.
+Vegan Gains That's great for you but anecdotal as shit.
You made 240 @ 5'10 as a vegan? Fucking impressive bro.
They put me on a med that took me from 170 lbs. to well over 270 lbs. From classic broad shouldered vee shape to a fat ball of lard at 5'10". I've managed to get back to about 212 lbs. but still hate to look in the mirror. What is your 240 lbs made up of?
As long as the specific studies aren't cited her word is no more credible than anecdotal evidence. What kind of studies? Peer reviewed studies? Or some study she saw on buzzfeed? You don't have to be a fucking genius to realise what she's saying doesn't add up, though you might need an IQ >70.
I wonder at what point the extra muscles reflect a narcissism which signals that the only person s/he can truly love is him/herself.
that is a big stereotype which is a pretty good subject to talk on, yes a lot of people do fall in 'love' with their own body when they trasnform their body for the good..
personally i was 6'2 i was also a very skinny guy when i was 16 (weighed 55kg/121 pounds)
four years later of gym im now weighing 90K(198 pounds) of 12bodyfat percentage, so my body is mostly muscle, i have never uderstood the narcissim, but I gained a lot of confidence and courage, i feel like im the center of attention and that im in control when i walk in a room
hell by your comment i guess every model is narccistic...
I thought women like men who are ambitious and passionate with their goals? I don't bodybuild to get laid; does not even cross my mind. When I enter the gym, it is my sanctuary. I have one purpose and one goal in mind to achieve my dreams of one day stepping on that Mr. Olympia stage. However, when I am outside, I can hold intellectual conversations with the best of them. I enjoy everything and anything fun. I care deeply about the people whom I befriend and of course my family. I love children and wish to have my own some day as well. I am still in my early 20's (and growing even more) and I truly hope this is not how most women view overly muscular men :(.
BTW, most bodybuilders worth a grain of salt or that do compete (since she referenced Arnold), are the nicest people you will ever meet. Down to earth and extremely humble. Sometimes too humble and modest. We are always seeking to improve and never think we are good enough nor do we believe we are better than anyone else. We respect hard work, good work ethic, and dedication. Complete opposites of the aggressive type. Also the most intelligent because it is a science (no, not 'bro' science) when perfecting proper nutrition and training regimens.
Bodybuilders that compete are NOT humble at all...The expression "Do you even lift" is a passive aggressive insult towards people who train naturally. Seriously I see people that use steroids call natural guys that are ripped small because they will obviously never be as big as them. Like brad pitt from fight club..."he's not that big"
Assumptions and extreme caricature of what a bodybuilder is. When was the last time you entered backstage at any competition? Most of us are so drained leading up to show time to even speak a word. That expression was something I first heard of on the internet and usually by pimpled faced nerds hiding behind a computer screen. I also mentioned bodybuilders who are worth a grain of salt. I will commit the "No True Scotsman fallacy" here and say that a true bodybuilder is humble and modest. I have never met such camaraderie amongst a group of people anywhere else. We all live like monks and make incredible sacrifices in our own lives to succeed. I don't understand where your resentment comes from, but natural or not (I compete naturally), I get respect because I train hard as hell. Anybody who belittles someone because they don't use drugs is a moron and probably look like absolute shit themselves. At the end of the day, how you look on stage is what matters. The judges don't know how much you lift, how you looked 2 weeks out, what types of drugs you took, or what you did to get there.
Comparing Brad Pitt to a bodybuilder is also redundant. Size is relative. Size isn't everything either. Bodybuilding is about overall symmetry and proportions. Conditioning and presentation too. There is such a thing as too big which throws the entire physique off. It's all an illusion. Please educate yourself further on the sport and the people who actually are passionate about the field before you make stereotypical assumptions that make the rest of us look bad for no reasons at all. Just because the ones you have met are assholes, does not mean all of us are.
www.cracked.com/blog/6-myths-about-body-builders-that-are-total-bs/
Look man, I'm not resenting anyone. I have a lot of respect for bodybuilders unlike most of the public that think steroids will make you ripped with no hard work.
It's funny that you would ask me when was the last time I went backstage. It was just a few months ago. (my half brother competes). You are right about there being camaraderie among fellow bodybuilders. However they are not humble. You have the enhanced dudes makin fun of smaller guys in the gym or natties so proudly proclaiming how natural they are and how much better they are cause of it. Sooooooo annoying.
I know of the sacrifices. It's larger than most sports. My brother spends a significant amount of his time and money on the bodybuilding. The dedication that bodybuilders have is what most people can only dream of. That is what I respect the most, their dedication. Most people think they can do what bodybuilders do yet most people have also given up. They give up with an excuse so they don't feel bad about their failure. " I don't have the time to set aside an hour per day to train" Then the next thing you know they are on a breaking bad marathon.
Anyone that has made a good physique has the right to be arrogant. They literally are better than most people. Arrogance comes with success much in the same way that people that have a lot of money have proven to society that they are successful and are everything but humble.
"Please educate yourself further on the sport and the people who actually are passionate about the field before you make stereotypical assumptions that make the rest of us look bad for no reasons at all"
I am probably more educated than 99% of the population on this topic.
"Bodybuilding is about overall symmetry and proportions. Conditioning and presentation too."
This is true. Arnold is my biggest hero and he looked better than most modern bodybuilders in my opinion. However I want to use my brother as an example because I am most familiar with his stats . He is 6ft 1in and 255 pounds. He is too big and thinks bigger is better like most modern steroid users. Here is a quote from Arnold:
" I love swimming and have been doing it for almost daily for the last 15 years. swimming is one of those activities that force you to use your muscles in such a way that they flow together and make your body work as a total, integrated unit. " I think His ability to function more fluidly on stage may have given him the edge in some of his matches, especially against Sergio Oliva.
stop acting like yr super grown and stuff kid! xD
Saad Filali you have to be joking? I know high school kids that have a better body than Brad Pitt from just doing sports. You must have surrounded yourself by very poor lazy people your whole life.
Shes right about the bell curve. If you sit on the top of the curve it unconsciously says to us girls that "okay this guy is fit, and he takes care of his body." While skinny guys tell our brains "he isnt taking care of his body so he wont out effort into a relationship" and guys with too much muscle tell us "okay this guy must be obsessed with his looks and spends more time at the gym than anything else." So i guess she is pretty spot on.
It's the same for men.
If we see women out of shape we think the very same thing.
She's lazy and doesn't take care of herself.
A fit girl, communicates a lot merely by her body and physique. She's not lazy and takes care of herself.
So basically, the top of the bell curve = the maximum obtainable physique that's natty.
Guys don't need to worry about getting "too big" unless they are juicing.. That's basically what I get from any video about girls talking about the perfect body... Just stay natty, eat right and workout for like 4-6 years and you'll be in great shape
so with you bro
The Truth no not really. The guy she said was totally normal but he could have been more toned yea that is very close
The fuck... that guy has just a “good” physique, it’s not even close to a maximum obtainable physique. I am easily twice as big in arm circumference and I’m still progressing on my numbers. A maximum obtainable physique costs decades of training, not just years.
Why are straight guys triggered because she said Arnold is unattractive?
***** Lol confession is good for the soul. I get it so she's basically saying your goal is unattractive.
Yeah most girls don't but just do you. There are a lot of girls who are obsessed with really muscular guys
Because there are plenty of guys that pattern themselves after Arnold and figure "if he's unattractive, am I unattractive?"
It's a confidence thing.
Just because a guy's a big and muscly doesn't mean he can't be hurt.
Why the fuck would you want to look like Arnold?
Akalion When they aren't big they feel weak and insecure. Just like how some guys are insecure cause they have no money or cause they don't have a fresh cut.
I dont like guys with big muscles, they look scary
I like men that have a nice face and a personality that clicks. The rest comes with it.
Like a wallet hahahhaha 🐸
Correction, 70s Arnold is the top of the bell curve, not the old spice dude.
Would you be able to do a video on height? Im a rather short guy, 5,3. My whole life girls have been telling me that I'm to short for them. As you can imagine hearing that gets very old, and is very discouraging. Ive even had girls I'm taller than tell me I'm to short….Im sure on the opposite spectrum very tall women have a similar issue with men. Any idea why height is so important to people? Also, Any advice on finding people who aren't bothered by height?
Cristen I'm 100% in agreement with crashdown903p! Please try and do a video about how height correlates with attractiveness. I'm a 5'7" male, which is average height but most ladies do tell me my height is a sub-par quality when considering me for a romantic relationship. I once heard Maxim model April Rose say in an MTV Guy Code podcast that if a man is considered wealthy then she can forgive him for being some inches shorter than her optimal desired height. That type of thinking was also supported by a female friend of mine so I feel like you have some good material to do a show on this topic.
I have the same issue, I'm 5,4. Ive had a few girls tell me to my face I'm to short. But more often I will ask a girl out and later here from friends that she wasn't interested because of my height. Height doesn't matter to me. I don't care if a girls 6 ft +. Ive also noticed height doesn't just come into play with dating. I feel people don't take me serious a lot of the time due to my height. In our culture seems tall = strong and short = weak. Im a Firefighter and often get told I'm to short for that occupation .
C. Phillip I saw that interview too. When I hear people talk like that I find it very hurtful. But when girls say things like that no one seems to think anything of it. A few years ago a female friend of mine was describing her perfect man. and she said "oh and he has to be tall"…. I find it funny because if a guy was doing the same and said "Oh and she better not be fat" everyone would get upset at him….. People can't control their height why do people look down on short people so much. Especially short men.
Medic1701 You're a firefighter! Small world Im a Flight Paramedic. Im guessing you are a firefighter/paramedic based on your user name. My height actually works very well for me at work. Being short is great for fitting inside a small aircraft haha. Ive definitely experienced people not taking me seriously because of my height. especially at work. Im frequently ignored my ground crews, firefighters, Docs and nurses. Ill roll into the trauma bay with a patient and its a serious struggle to get the nurses and docs to listen to me when giving report. I really think its because I'm short. My partner is 5,11 and never has an issue like mine.
That would be interesting. I couldn't give my personal opinion, since I am 4'10". Tallest guy I dated was 5' 7" (shortest 5'3")
I think this is a little biased. Maybe the right question should be, "do women like guys who take care of their bodies?" I'm a guy and like women who try to stay in shape.
You disrespect Arnold?!
I do love muscles....
Katie Lunsford i do love big boobs
Good to know😁
Guys you can be the most ripped looking dude on the planet and still get chicks if you got money thats all they care about.
No we don´t, I doubt that you know any women....
Vexilator Or A Face.
***** Don´t be like that, I play minecraft. Videogames have nothing to do with being able to get a life partner =)
One thing that does get me is that women will say they don't like "really muscular guys", but then point out a guy like Isaiah Mustafah like she did, who definitely is what I'd call "muscular". He's not a bodybuilder or juiced up, but he's certainly not an average (American) guy's physique at all. He probably works out more than 3 times a week to look that way, and follows a pretty specific diet. So I've always felt that women do like muscular guys, just guys who are muscular within the limits of human achievement, without roids and other enhancements.
How the fuck is the old spice guy at the top
***** She likes the bbc
I actually am more attracted to the tall, pale, gangly set. Less muscle tone means they might be more likely to be smart and interesting.
You think the bodybuilders from the 70s were unattractive? You should look at some of the bodybuilders of today. They'll freak you out.
Oh, and the bodybuilders from Arnold's time looked awesome. Something's wrong with you.
+Reg Miller hah, tell that too Arnold who has boned with more women than there are blades of grass on the white house lawn
Reg Miller I'm talking about in his prime. He was constantly surrounded with models. Yeah his success helped too but he still wouldn't have gotten as much without his body
The muscularity vs. hotness ratio directly inverses the personality vs intelligence ratio. It is up to man to develop an equilibrium by succeeding in one of each ratios strengths, or to acquire them all.
How do women like that old spice guy? If he puts a shirt on you couldnt tell the difference between him and some skinny fat kid. You dont even have to workout to look like that guy
connor williams Skinnyfat is a type of slang within the bodybuilding community.
ignorance smh @ gnarlybudz
Most women don't care how much you work out.
***** skinny fat is someone look normal but has fat ass body. like seth rogen
SMOKEMIST
Nah, skinny fat is someone who's skinny but doesn't have that low of a body fat %. So they just look horrible, lol.
"Oh i don't like muscles bla bla bla..."only insecure and envy woman has a problem with a muscular guy. If 1 chick is not into you, 5 others are. I don't do bodybuilding to impress girls. I do it for me and because I want it. That's Alpha.
AMEN BROTHA!!!
On point, all about those gains & being king of that mountain. But in a friendly competive way, have good friends 2 push 4 that main goal being better
guys who have to state they're alpha males are just pointing out that they most likely aren't and are just insecure
Calling yourself "alpha" is pathetic. We're humans, not wolves
Shezrie to add to what you said I'm pretty sure insecure women are more likely to place emphasis on looks and thus go for the more muscular ones most people will look for kind and humble funny guys which this person obviously is not
Im working out
on myself
by myself
for myself
What about a super ripped dude that also reads books? Both of best worlds.
I think a lot of guys who go to the gym miss personality day, I say that as a gym goer myself.
Haha!! Agreed!! I'm a muscular dude, but I laugh when I see the other buff dudes at the bar who just lean against the wall with their arms crossed tryna look all tough... personality day ftw!!
Depends on the woman. Different people like different things, there is no universally liked thing, but muscles represent strength and generally people like strength even if they say otherwise.
Ok, I got one for ya... Height. Do ladies really like or want a guy who is tall, and if so, why? What's wrong with a shorter guy? Alot of great guys are short, but women seem to overlook them (so to speak).
I remember reading a study on this somewhere (wish I had a link) but basically women optimally prefer a guy who's 2 inches shorter or so up to a foot taller. So it's more that there's more chance for a taller guy. But, having said that I think guys with dwarfism are super dateable and I should imagine that if I was a tall lady (instead of a short one) I would maybe like very short guys because extremes can be really attractive too. Hope that helps!
Personally I would want a guy that is about my same height because I don't like having to look up at people just to talk or to have to look down at someone to have a conversation.
this is the one thing I consistently hear from women. I have never heard a woman say she prefers a shorter guy. Pretty much all women want the guy to be the same height as them or taller. And its surprisingly high on their priorities list from what I've been told.
Akksol it is what it is. find a shorter woman. I once saw a woman who was
a dwarf. she was like 4'2", however she was actually cute and good looking and seemed like a nice person.
Luckily I'm 6'2". I feel for shorter guys though.
just turned 19 and finally hit 230lbs, God is good
Makeup can't hide fugly!^
Most females seem to be attracted to men that are more like themselves. Justin Bieber is a fine example of what women are attracted to.
Follow up Question for SMNT: You implied that the muscular build that would attract a short term fling is different than a long term relationship.
What level of muscularity would be ideal for feeling compelled towards a one night stand?
As ripped as you can be. That's the answer.
If you girls want muscular and hot guy that also means you have to be hot with great bodies. I do not go to the gym to end up with a scarecrow.
Yes there's a limit for me...I find myself preferring the lean body shape. The arms are definitely my favorite though (: my boyfriend is lean and kinda on the skinny side, but he's toned nicely and very strong.
As far as the big hardcore bodybuilders go,(top of that bell curve) I have never heard one of those guys say anything like, "I can't get a woman because my muscles are too big." When bodybuilders start saying that, then I will believe it when(some) women say they don't like big muscle guys
When I see bodybuilder types my gag reflex kicks in. If a man looks like he takes steroids, he's gone way overboard. Repulsive.
Do you like the "chippendale" kind of body (google it)? Just curious... cause for me (i'm a guy) it's the ideal male body and I find the true bodybuilder type (like contest huge guys) not ideal too.
Do you like the Mr. Olympia kind of bodybuilder? Just curious
Bodybuilders doesn´t do it to attract woman is more than clear than for woman being ripped and a little muscular is enough. They do it as sport, as a challenge to themselves some even as philosophy.
Personally I do not want to have super big muscles because it means more consumption of oxygen, nutrients, and it slows you down however I respect the ones who are into that because I understand them.
Attraction to muscularity should vary significantly from person to person based on their own fitness levels. That is, if you don't place much emphasis on excelling at athletics/physical fitness then you're probably not going to want someone super muscular who clearly does and vice-versa.
I hate that stereotype that we all bodybuilders get, being muscular doesn't mean we're either impolite, or rude, or cavemen, We're usually very nice folks that enjoy good conversations and being healthy. Besides looking great is a pretty good plus
I like toned men, with a six pack barely peeking through. That's what I aim for myself as well, so I think it's fair to expect that from a guy. Too much muscle is definitely a turn off jeesh
Same I like all kind of guys but he should be bigger than me that's all I need even if he is little bit fat doesn't matters
You can never be too big. Swole is the goal, SIZE IS THE PRIZE
Me all throughout high school was chubby and not athletic. 0 girlfriends and generally unnoticed by women in general
Spent one summer working out every day. Got down to about 10% body fat. More tone/muscle and I grew a few inches.
Came back to school and noticed some girls starring at me in the halls (Was really freaked out by this)
Had girls randomly come up to me sometimes acting super friendly and laughing really strangely sometimes when I didn't even make a joke.
Actually had a girl ask me out lol
Got my first gf and am living very happily rn
So yeah...I'd say musles kinda help...
It's surprising that they'd stay with you. Most will just want to fuck a ripped man and then move onto another.
for those declaring 'women don't know what they want'- women are not a homogenous group, different women like different things and being a woman doesn't suddenly mean you don't know yourself and your preferences. Oddly enough everyone (including women) is a unique human being. Think it through.
Muscular guys are hot, but as you said, not the bodybuilder type. A guy like Chris Evans, that's hot!
Sounds like you guys are talking down on people who are really muscular..
Meh, why do I even care, I hate humanity anyways.
#CamelMasterRace
TheOneAndOnlyDerp
I didn't talk down on them at all, i just said i prefer the less muscular type guys, over the bodybuilder type. It's just a preference
Adele You're just upset that you don't have the humps that camel has!
#PasteryMasterCake
guys dont care whether you like their muscles or not they still workout for themselves so hush ya trap up, bitch
Agree. i mean for me the perfect type is someone like James Orlando ;)
I'm not hitting on you or anything James, i'm just saying.
Okay, I'm a large guy, don't go to the gym often, but do try to eat healthy. What does the research say about female attraction to large guys?
The ripped dude won't be jogging, he'll be lifting. Too much cardio burns muscle.
Good video! But... Don't talk about the Arnold... Don't....
I agree that its not sexy over a certain point. its not healthy so why would it be sexy? also it indicates the guy is trying to overcompensate for something.
For me the more muscle the sexier I find it. To be protected by a really muscular guy is like wow.
well to be fair she is a cavewoman
I agree with her point that women like to be protected but if you're with a guy that doesn't lift just buy yourself some pepper gel.
"As she's looking real good in that suit.." Haha, damn right!
Gotta love a woman with class.
I find big muscles something threatening (and just ugly). It tells me that this guy is at the gym 4 nights a week and therefor doesn't have enough time for me, and cares a little too much about his appearence. And how can i watch a movie with my boyfriend and crawl up against him when his body is made of hard muscles? I need some layer of fat as a pillow.
This girls graph lies in the second cartesian quadrant, making her data representation invalid and wrong.
i am not sure where i am in this line of muscle. i am this guy in the picture and man, women is easy when you have nice body.
You look alright.. You're a good looking dude.
Coming from a straight guy, you're fit, and you clearly work out, but you don't over do it. When I'm working out at the gym, I can easily pick out the guys that look good, and the guys that just look weird.
Saimeren Tks for the compliment, but I didn't get ur point I m afraid. U can get weird in any where. As I said I may did not get ur point.
You're hot
Adele Tks
you are cute :)
Paulo Massarde From another straight man(sorry about that), you have a really good physique, but it might be slightly on the "too much" side of the bell curve. But you are definitely on the top somewhere.
Personally, I would start maintaining instead of gaining at that point, unless you are into bodybuilder competitions or really want to become stronger even if it might become too much muscle. It probably doesn't matter a lot anyway since women would still prefer too much over too little.
If you are a man watching this, ask yourself this: Are you attracted to this woman? Her gestures, voice, accent, style, vocabulary, culture, and attitude? If yes, maybe listen to what you she is saying. As for me, I think she is not the kind of woman I am attracted to, and her views are pretty culture-bound. Secondly, if you are attracted to muscular women (athletes, fit women) or women who are used to dating guys who workout (lots of stereo-typically "hot" girls fall into this category) then I wouldn't listen to her. Finally, I think she kind of showed her hand when she said she doesn't like being at the gym.
Here is the rule. Never date anybody better looking than yourself.
My computer started playing the video with no sound and it was perhaps the greatest thing ever.
You're funny, and I like your screen presence..
Mayank Thakur Her videos are hilarious!
Jessica Showalter Hey, so back to the question, do I look good already or should I add some more muscles..? :)
Mayank Thakur You don't think it's a bit awkward to ask a complete stranger that? My personal preference towards the male physique is simply toned. Most of the men in my life look fine to me when they aren't toned, even. I think if a person wants to build more muscle, it should be a personal choice. Not something based on what others want you to look like. While looks matter, they aren't the heart of anything. But that's just me. :)
I don't know Cristen either, yet I watch her videos, to know the perspective. Same way, I may not know you in person, I'm just asking you out of my curiosity.
Thank you Jessica, for providing me the food of thought which I needed, and for being a generous person. Please be assured that I won't bother you anymore. Thanks again.
Women like a low body fat percentage, but not necessarily muscles. As long as you're ripped, you don't need to be swole
i'm superstrong but not fit at all but i'm good at bear hugs tough :P
bear hugs are the best thing!
Simonarne Myklebust bear hugs are the best! Personally, I like men who are kinda strong but NOT toned. Everyone is different.
i like whoever has the properties i might not have and maybe have some properties i have and i can get along with
Simonarne Myklebust Same, bear hugs are great, especially when you pick them up and run with the person
Simonarne Myklebust I feel you...I'm good with beer mugs.
it makes me laugh when people look at someone like the old spice guy and say thats attractive because he doesnt look like hes in the gym a lot and its very attainable.....lets be honest how many guys look like the old spice guy and yes even he works his ass off way more than the average
Of course there is such thing as too much muscles. Bodybuilders are disgusting. I'd much rather have a slim to slightly toned guy than a massive bodybuilder. Runners, soccer players, swimmers, etc those guys have the best body types. Bodybuilders, wrestlers, large football players...those are just gross.
It's called body"building" for a reason.
Vegan Gains okay, go ahead and work your body out until you look like a balloon animal. I don't care what you do to yourself.
That will never happen as naturals can't get nearly as big as bodybuilders on steroids.
CANADAWOOOOOOOOO you really need a reality check...those who look like balloons are either on roids or so fat that being very muscular makes them look like bears. Lean and muscular is the way to go, and thats what most gym goers aim for anyways (ps: thats what soccer players etc aim for too)
Chris Hemsworth as Thor is probably around the extent of what I find attractive. Amazing body (in my opinion, of course), but I don't really like much more than that. I tend to find body builders INCREDIBLY unattractive, everything just seems overly exaggerated, and at it's extreme, even grotesque. I prefer a more natural and balanced look.
I just went and looked at some of Arnolds old pictures. In some of them, his body seems entirely out of proportion. Like different pictures were shopped together. It just isn't appealing to me.
Please note, I am not saying anything negative about body building, or being very muscular (more power to you, if that's what you enjoy!). I am only stating what *I* find physically attractive. I can't change what I find attractive, it is simply how I feel.
muscles are sexy it brings out the thoughts of wild hot sex but most girls are scared to admit it ;)
altho its pretty to see its NOT comfy to rest your head on even better IT HURTS....
If it wasn't for Arnold....You never would of heard of gym catch phases like "ripped". He changed Hollywood's impression of the leading man. Now when a leading man takes his shirt off, he better be in shape!
I personally don't find fitness overly attractive, but I think it's because I myself am not exactly fit (I'm the national average size 14) and I don't want to be with someone who has different ideals body health. I.e. someone who may judge me for enjoying a cookie and not wanting to spend three hours at the gym to make up for it.
Most girls who are into dad bods have mom bods themselves, makes sense
I’m a autistic male who not going to the gym, I was told there other things women find attractive in men so if I didn’t had a body with muscles 💪 that the woman will be ok with me
I wish that even if men are not body perfect that they be fine with that
I like toned muscles on anyone really.
I like a guy that takes care of himself but not to the point of being narcissistic and going over board. Some people I know go way over board and they have it in their mind an image of what their spouse or girlfriend should be like. Too many expectations. Just eat good and take care of yourself.
I'd like to see the female subject of this.
From the natural world; prairie grouse(s)....have a similar conundrum....the males have to strut and frighten off competitors, but if they are toooooo frightening, the lady grouse are frightened as well. A very narrow line to walk
Actually I sortof like skinny guys.
The Old Spice guy is exactly who I was expecting her to cite. I've noticed that when women say "muscular" they mean something very different from what men usually mean. Women just mean 'lean', really.
I am personally more attracted to men who are more teddy bear-like :)
They do give great hugs =)
Parthenia Redsmith Good for cuddlin' into :)
