I'm tall and quite thin. I do use some weights at home on occasions. I think the muscle in my arms has bulged a little probably because of that. But I still don't feel that very interested enough to go and join a gym. I personally wouldn't want to look like some body builder with big muscles but I can't help but think that that is what a lot of men are doing now and I feel like the only one who isn't very interested and passionate on these activities. I do hear women say that it can be a turn off if all a man does is always go to the gym and talks about it and their muscles rather than focusing on having time with them. But I can't help that there are still a number of women out there who do like their men all muscular and so on.
But working out and getting fit is a good idea whether women find it attractive or not. It has so many health benefits, lower blood pressure, lower resting heart rate, stronger muscles, higher testosterone levels etc.
But going to the gym and lifting weights up and down bores the hell out of me as well. And all you are doing is getting better at lifting a weight up and down which isn't a useful skill.
I prefer functional training, I like to swim, run, climb, and do martial arts. This way you are doing stuff that's more interesting and you are learning useful functional skills as well as getting fit.
