Use steroids.
I hear they shrink your testicles.
That may or may not be an urban myth.

To get to 182 pounds at 5ft7 you probably have to take steroids right?

I have the exact same physique, as your husband.
I'm just half an inch taller.
Lol...Then, you are a rare species...
Keep me in mind, if you want a change.
You are too funny, Pepe

No, you just need to be stocky.

Yes; I would say that at least some women consider WHY a guy is bulky (even if they jump to the wrong conclusion). Does he do a lot of physical work? Is he into a sport or hobby that involves upper body strength? Is he just into fitness and happen to be the body type that bulks up more easily than others, or is he totally into protein shakes and obsessed with his appearance?
Personally, I might draw conclusions about someone's appearance, but I didn't go "body shopping" or whatever when I was young and single. Quite the opposite, actually. My husband and I started out as friends and *then* we fell in love. It wasn't about physical attraction at all for me--granted, he was VERY skinny and needed braces as well as a hairstyle, but I didn't turn him down because of that. He's
a sweet, smart, funny, responsible, and handsome guy--I hear what other women say about their husbands and feel sorry for them (or wonder why they said "I do"). He and I have been together for 32 years and couldn't be happier.

So-o-o happy for you...You are both blessed to have each other...You chose right
