Legs, butt, and core muscles are still the ones that women notices first on men and find the most appealing, according to surveys as well as lots of anecdotes years ago.

I barely work out but have a lot of tattoos and most of the time that attracts women by itself. I think anything “masculine seeming” can attract women.

I mean really it's common sense. When you are in better shape you look better and you feel better about yourself, which projects outwards.
Right, I'm not disagreeing there. But what's being measured? How many push ups they can do? What their bench press is? Can he strict press an obese woman over his head? That's why I found the article lacking.

Also, I must be the outlier because I consider myself strong (over 225# on bench) but I haven't had ***** for months.

big difference between a man that can go to the gym and does, vs a man that can go and does not. the list is huge about this differences, much more than just look better and feel better.

It's almost impossible to get a hefer into the back of a van, into your basement, and(eventually)up on a slab, without being as pumped up as Jame Gumb

I really need to test this theory lol. Problem is in the UK literally every buttoned up accountant has 2 full sleeves lol. So not sure it'd hit like maybe it does in some countries

In college, I benched twice my (then) weight, and it was still a dry time. :mad::mad:

There is no excuse to not get a decent body.
One time my Hapa-cel friend friend told me: ‘You get girls because you work out.’ I replied: ‘You can work out.’ He changed the subject. To this day he’s still plump.

Have you ever noticed some of the Meatheads/gym bro's that have spent time on this forum over the years are some of the weakest minded men? It's overcompensation for what's lacking.

Former bodybuilder and long-time gymrat here. My friend once said, “no one went to the gym for a good reason.” Obviously that’s hyperbole, but there’s some truth to it.

I have had physique pics on here before. Some women have liked my body. My wife has never cared about my body and wouldn’t care if I stopped exercising.

It’s interesting how times have changed. I don’t recall anyone giving a flying fug about muscles and height in HS and college in the 90s and aughts.

I remember reading a few years ago that it can also be stated as chest to waist size ratio. The strength is a correlation, and I think not the actual cause. The curious point about the ratio hypothesis is that it seems true for both men and women.

The V taper. Good point about chest to waist being true for women as well as men. In fact, that's probably my favorite parts of the female body, the breasts and a tiny waist. Or whatever they call the smallest part of the hourglass.
