Do women actually like strong biceps?
I feel the more you go to the gym you realise that you just do it to impress other menâŠ
I think the truth is women do like muscly men, but men tend to overestimate how muscly. Like swimmer physique is attractive, hollywood batman physique is male power fantasy; or something
I can't speak for every woman, but I can speak for my own experiences and report based on the things women I know have said. For me and those I've spoken to, we may like muscles, but the things you need to do to get those muscles often aren't as attractive and cancel it out. Like, if you're getting muscles by going to the gym every day, that's only gonna attract women who are enthusiastic about the gym. If you get them from farm work, you'll attract women enthusiastic about farm life.
That's why a lot of us like dad bods so much. It's not that it's inherently more attractive, it's that it's a body type achievable by living the kind of life style people who're into that enjoy.
In other words, yes, muscles can be attractive, but not nearly as attractive as shared hobbies and interests, and it just happens quite often muscles can be a quick indicator that you probably don't share many.
Youâre close. The real truth is that most average people do not like to date too high above their perceived range of attractiveness. This bears out in many studies but people are attracted to 8âs and 9âs but wonât date them and instead mostly date people that are more normal 5,6,7âs.
Then we look at the opposite side of the coin, 9âs and 10âs donât even want to date each other. And for good reason. Extremely attractive people often cross a line into narcissism or being too busy to hold a relationship.
So two factors: 1. Most people arenât extremely fit and so donât want to date people whose lifestyle does not match their own, weâre all also slightly insecure. 2. Extremely attractive partners tend not to be good partners. The more people that are attracted to you, the less that date you. Also thatâs out of fear of competition and effort so itâs not worth it.
Yeah, I think in general it starts with trying to impress women, then you do it to impress other guys.
I guess itâs similar for women, they might get into doing their make up and looking nice for attention from guys they like, but in the end theyâre mainly trying to impress other women or just doing it because they enjoy it.
People usually like the physique, not the commitment it needs to get there and maintain it. Plus, the steroids.
Lots of women like really jacked dudes (and many gay men of course).
I don't like super lean jacked dudes personally. Give me a big thick rugby player or a 125Kg sumo wrestler any day over a bodybuilder.
some do, some donât
Yes.
So true. No gym I've ever been to has been willing to put in a cat ear machine.
You need to find a new gym. The growing process is slow and difficult, but with enough chicken breast and broccoli I too will soon have cat ears others will envy
I'll start my own gym. With catgirls and a second goddamn bench press rack.
if enough singles start mentioning a preference for cat ears on dating websites, the market will adjust.
personally i prefer spock ears.
Isnât that kinda elf ears? Or is it a crime against Vulcans to compare their ears as such?
Quark ears > Spock ears.
Skeeter ears > All
They should be more realistic than amine ones like actually on the sides of the head
As a woman who would dearly love a pair of fox ears, if it was possible we would have them.
Also, cat boys are criminally underrated compared to cat girls.

oh somebody likes their catboys DUMB
One day it'll happen, it's right up there with a cure to aging on the scale of importance.
I'm still waiting for horns personally, like thicc horns that are part of my skull
Oh, highmates in Rimworld Biology.
What workout routine do I need to follow to become dog?
Can you lick your junk yet?
why did no one tell me that was on the table
i need to go to the gym NOW
ok but what if I like my girls with biceps and my dudes with cat ears?
Youâre a communist
I hope Allie is doing better
This is the only reason I remember to put the space in. Every time I write "alot" I see the alot beast roaming the prairies.
Thank you for reminding me that this exists đ
You can get cat ears in the gym?! Maybe I'll actually start going again
After an enormous number of Mandela Effects appeared in my life, my ears are now developing little points like elf ears. Itâs weird. Apparently in this universe Iâm part elf
where can i go to grow cat ears
The Gym, it says so right there
Anyone who thinks women want men with big biceps has never watched an episode of Sailor Moon or picked through a copy of Peach Girl.
Women want Tuxedo Mask.
Someone who doesn't do anything, but at least doesn't get in the way?
Maureen Ponderosa did.
Every time I meet a woman with cat ears online, it's actually a man.
So, things may be more equal than they seem at first glance.
Men like women with cat ears
ftfy
Men go to gym to impress other men - period.
Leave women out of it - they really weren't joking when they chose the bears.
"I speak for all women when I say that men who go to the gym are disgusting"
Have you managed to impress all the boys yet?
This is hilarious.
OP, ever heard of a gym thot? Do you.. even go to the gym? 9 times out of 10, females going to the gym are only focusing on thighs and angus. 1 out of 10 is actually training for sport/competition.
Neither of those are cat ears.
Though on a less shitposty note, while I like an athletic build on women, I don't get the obsession with thighs and ass. Disproportionately large thighs turn me off whether they are large because of fat or muscle. Though they are often not toned and don't look fat elsewhere, so maybe a lot of them are implants/injections?
Everyone has their preferences, but I gotta wonder if this is based on something other guys actually like or just something marketers have sold to a segment of the population. I wonder the same about breast implants because a lot of those also do more to turn me off than on.
Yep, I personally like athletically built women, proportional especially. Olympic lifters, gymnasts, and cross fitters tend to develop well rounded physiques.
Angus must be sugon's cousin
This fight was lost decades ago, but I understand.
Did the alot win?
Language evolves.
True! How ain't people not understand this?
