6-Pack Abs

I think it depends on the woman. Personally, I'm satisfied with my body the way it is and I expect any woman crazy enough to feel attraction for me to like it. I have a slightly more muscular Freddy Mercury-esque physique with Solid Snake's butt.



Yeah, I know you are gonna sleep with that image in your head. You don't have to thank me.

Everyone has different tastes.

I'm into fitness and want an ideal, comic book body.

Someone love muscles and others don't. My girlfriend is into them and is always encouraging me to improve my shape. The person I dates before her prefered lanky guys to macho guys. The one before her liked muscles.

The point is, be the body shape you want to be to make yourself happy. Your partner should love you for that and vice versa.

I prefer lanky guys, much cuter. I don't find muscles sexy at all, kind of a turn off.

Women, of both body types, which do you prefer?

I used to have a four pack but I started eating alot of crabs and it went away pretty fast.

Personally, neither. Both are too muscular for my taste.

That Grecian god of desire sure was a fatty.

Through my teen years, I've gone from being 140 to 200lbs+ at 6'3 with visible abs and muscularity, I was very thin and had no muscularity before I started working out, I'd say that what really drove me to work out was being self conscious and insecure and I noticed it more so than others, it also helped me to connect to other males who were interested in sports and weightlifting and form friendships. If you're a male, working out can definitely be beneficial mentally and build confidence in that aspect, I also find it to a be a positive outlet and help me mentally so it has benefited me in many ways.



Never workout because you think it will increase your appeal to women, always do it for yourself. People have different preferences and body types when it comes to the ideal body, there isn't really any kind of ideal body.

I prefer athletic looking men, I think people in general find healthy looking people attractive.

I think the ideal figure for a man is Michael Angelo's David

^ in other term, a swimmer body.

It's a minority of women who make a big issue of what kind shape their partner is in. Just as it's a minority of men who do the same with their partners. I think it's healthy for both genders to remember that the pressure you feel to look a certain way is not always indicative of the other gender's actual expectations.

Ugh - how does he pull any chicks at all with that gut?

That's a gut? Now, if you wanna talk about those girlyman pecs, I'm all ears...

It's not the 6pack that matters but I like it when a man is in a good shape because that usually means that he stays physically active, cares about his health, is energetic and has good stamina. Those are the things that I find important (not as important as mind though).
Of course, everything must be in moderation and achieved in a healthy way.

I love how figure skating has changed things for the better with me. I went from 215 pounds to 180s in like 6 months. Also, I recently started lifting to improve my skating, and that's been sweet, too. Just some basic powerlifting stuff, and I love it. It gives you so much better power for skating, but even just in daily life, carrying groceries, lifting boxes, all that. Oddly, what's been sorta cool, I do pretty much no arm isolation workouts (occasionally I'll use an arm bike, but that's very occasional) and my arms have gotten to be much better looking, just doing deadlifts and stuff.

Socially, ice skating is neat, you meet lots of girls, actually. Still, I'm not really elite enough to really like, "bother" lots of the figure skating girls, and I'll likely not be in that position for a while, so I usually don't talk to them unless they speak to me. But, you meet people and whatnot. It's cool. At the gym, I can't say I've made super meaningful social connections or anything, but people are relatively nice there, give me good advice, all that. I probably appear to be really weird, as I show up in jeans and do deadlifts and clean and jerks then play around on a slideboard. I don't really show up looking the part. But yeah, gym people are usually pretty cool and respectful and stuff. I remember one guy offered to be my workout partner, cuz I knew him from when he worked at a grocery store. It never worked out, but yeah, people are relatively friendly at gyms, really.

That's true, someone who is active or has an active lifestyle is generally seen as more attractive by people who follow a similar lifestyle. Of course, doing it in moderation is important, in many parts of the world, young girls are starving themselves and boys are taking steroids in an attempt to achieve a look dictated by Magazines or the general media, I think it can be damaging to promote that there's some magic pill or fad diet that can achieve the perfect body in a short period of time.
