Ladies and Gents: what are you physical standards?

Post Reply New Topic

@closetgenius re-read the thread. I'm not quoting the posting of Keanu again

I'd post you the kind of guy I like, but i can only think of ppl I know who won't want their pics posted.

All women have normal weight, pale skin and no tattoos or perceings?

On which planet?

Oh yeah I don’t like piercings or tattoos either some tattoos I could put up with but the women who cover their whole body in tattoos are no to me.

I look exactly like Reeves, I am lean-muscled, so women like hurtloam should like me!




Except I am hairier...much hairier.

and less handsome

and much shorter.

and much bigger nose

and wearing glasses

and not as much nice haircut

Read the thread guys. I'd prefer him with a little more weight. He's a funny dude. Really sweet, but I'm not sure how attractive, but I'd still go there, rather him than any other actor. He confuses me. Not that it matters I don't know Keanu Reeves in real life. I prefer him with a beard.

I apologize, the context flew over my head.

I don't mind having my picture posted, go ahead.

A lot of physical things I'm not a fan of, but they're not deal breakers. Not even close. Personality, confidence, attitude, type of person etc could completely make someone with physical traits I don't like attractive.

Not a fan of, but not deal breakers:

Tattoos and Piercings
Shaved heads
Very thin guys
guys a lot shorter than me
Long hair and beards
weak chins
teeth missing or not looked after
Narrow shoulders
Bad hygiene. (This could improve with additional suggestions, support and advice).


Physical traits meh, it's all about attraction. Personality types and attitude are much more important.

^what do you think of

thin wrists

hairy arms/legs


and hooked noses?

Meh. I don't really care. I wouldn't say they were off putting. Don't most guys have hairy arms and legs?

I don't think obesity is attractive to many people. I could happily date someone up to 40%. My preference is probably around 25-35%, but weight isn't a huge deal to me as long as they're not obese.

I like blue/green eyes, tend to prefer a paler complexion, but again not a huge deal to me. I really like long, thick, curly hair. Natural redheads are pretty hot too.

Race-wise, I'm seldom attracted to Asians and rarely attracted to Indians, but everything else is fair game.

My standards for the most part are pretty loose, but I'd imagine that's because I'm incapable of getting a girlfriend/casual sex, so I don't feel I have a right to expect much from a partner.

Beggars can't be choosers I guess.

In other term, Arabs and Jews.

He's about 15% isn't he? (Which is well above average of course)

He looks skinny there.

Double the size/ bigger/ chubbier would be appealing to me, with bigger arms and broader shoulders.

I love big and chubby men. They’re less likely to criticise my body weight.

25% body fat girls can keep anyone smaller. :p

No way, I'd say he is about 10%, the lighting and angle is just bad. The lower part of the belly is usually one of the last fat reserves to go, and you can see he has almost no, if very little fat there, he is very flat. Also both horizontal and vertical lines on his abs are clearly visible, and you simply don't see those if you have alot of fat covering them. He just looks like he is holding some water.

Sadly we have quite unrealistic expectations about what low body fat looks like, because alot of the pictures we see is either a extremely temporary look, or sometimes an unnatural look. There's no doubt in my mind that even alot of hollywood actors are on low doses of testosterone, or use stuff like clen to lean out.

I remember the first time I got really lean(4% according to dexa, but I'd say 6-7% is probably more accurate), I was severely dissapointed. Because sure, with good lighting + flexing, I'd look shredded, but unflexed in bad lighting it's still possible to look like a seal, especially if you're holding on to some extra water. Which happens alot, because cortisol is usally elevated when you're that lean.

So point being, pretty much no one just walks around and looks super shredded all the time, unless you're on gear. The exception is the handful of people who have amazing genetics, these are the people who have a decent set of abs even before lifting or dieting.

Hmm interesting.

I thought generally:

18-20% obvious mild pot belly and skinnyfat gut. "average" or, at least, it use to be.

15% = flat but undefined stomach

12-14% abs slightly to moderately visible but generally still flat looking.

1-8% when the abs really start to "pop" and are very obviously visbsie and have the bulging look.

Or is that bulging abs look really just being pumped and dehydrated in good lighting at 12% or less and/or being on steroids?
