What is more attractive a man with a lot of muscles or a skinny guy?

[noname223]

The answer is probably easy. Most people/women will say a man with muscles. But the ratio between muscles and skinny is interesting to know for me.

I prefer skinny by far. Probably because I was bullied for being obese as a teenager and child.

 

[Mitsumi]

depends on the guy.

 

[Life_and_Death]

im pretty sure my bf is skinnier than me without an eating disorder lol

 

[грустная сука]

I prefer someone who is fit; they don't necessarily have to be "beefy".

 

[Celerity]

Depends on how muscular. I don't like a lot of muscle on a guy. I think they start to look like an action figure at some point, and most of the buff dudes I've met have been absolute tools, so I guess I'll vote for the skinny dudes.

 

[Blurry_Buildings]

A dead man
Dead handsome that is

Jk I'm sorry I'll stop now
I have no idea

 

[N33dT0D13]

I prefer muscles on average but it's definitely a case by case basis, there's attractive and unattractive (per my own preferences) builds of all sizes be it skinny, muscular, fat or average.

 

[PaunPaun]

muscular men looks more healthy and more charismatic , but being skinny is becoming more popular these years , it's more classy . overall it will always depends on the person

 

[executioner1983]

Oddly enough, I've always very attracted to skinny and just weaker looking men in general. I think the desire for someone thinner might stem from old eating disorder habits/patterns. I'm also just a naturally extroverted person who likes feeling in control/having more power in a relationship. I can definitely turn it off though and take on a more submissive role but its just nice changing things up. I'm also a Leo and even though I'm not into astrology nor really believe in it I still like feeding into the whole bold/outgoing leo stereotype.

 

[hikikomorizombie]

i've personally never understood the trend of guys being built asf; being super muscular's almost gross/scary to me& i'm skeleton skinny so i can't be turned off by that. i'd say my preference is lean or toned.

 

[sserafim]

I think it depends more on their face and overall appearance

 

[Aim]

I'll rather date a skinny guy with kindness, integrity ambition's and maturity, then a muscle guy with no brains. And I would also rather date a muscle guy with the qualities above. Then a boring guy that has nothing going for him. So In that case. I guess looks doesn't really matter that much to be hounest. Tihi.

I think what I'm trying to say is that, it doesn't really matter how good looking ones are, if the mind and habits are dirty.

 

[Angst Filled Fuck Up]

What about guys with muscles on one side only?

 

[leavingthesoultrap]

Skinny is not attractive to me. I like normal body type or strong. But what matters more is personality and character

 

[Heartaches]

A guy with a huge d-
Jk

For me it depends from person to person, I don't have a specific body type in mind

 

[Shrike]

I'm not super picky about it, my preference is for something in between. Especially well developed and strong/lean but not super big visually, like the way dancers or some martial artists look.

 

[DarkRange55]

Biology: most men are more attracted (non-sexually) most of the time big bulky men. But woman aren't and there's clues there. We know super bulky men usually are not that healthy. Especially if they've had to use something artificial to gain bulk.

Woman like men, what the science shows, that are above average upper body strength particularly, but overall who are above average but not muscle bound. There's a great Dr. David Buss's evolutionary psychology textbook has, I believe, those exact words. They studied like 40 cultures, what woman find most attractive. So as a man, there's probably a clue there. That's probably the healthiest body type. And as a caveat it helps you compete in the mating game.

 

[BlessedBeTheFlame]

I'm a man, but I know women have a variety of different tastes. There is no such thing as an objective attractiveness. You will find women (or anyone really) who will simp over short guys, while others simp over big guys. Some like the type they could punch out with a single punch, while others like big muscle guys. I watch this streamer, called Tenma Maemi, and she is notoriously down bad for any manly muscle man she sees. Meanwhile my taste in men is more cute, twinkish guys, so I'd answer skinny guys. There is legitemately no answer. The ratio is quite meaningless too, since it doesn't account for all the different body types and nuances between them. Plus, most of it doesn't account for personality or anything. I don't know whether this came from a place of legitemate interest or feeling shit over appearance, which happens often, but I wouldn't be too preoccupied with this.

 

[InAgony]

Neither really (I prefer just 'fit' looking), but if i were to choose then muscular I guess, but I don't like too much muscle.

 

[untothedepths]

I really don't care or prefer one, not joking. I just like dudes who can be my friends and of course practice decent hygiene. Then again, topics of attraction and sexuality make me extremely uncomfortable for some reason when I'm confronted so really maybe I don't know.

 

[Malaria]

I like both.

 

[sserafim]

I think it depends more on their face and overall appearance

And facial features / aesthetic

 

[eatantz]

equally attractive

 

[surroundedbydemons]

A skinny physique can appear muscular due to low body fat, often leading to confusion between the two.

Ultimately, aesthetics is all about proportions and how your individual features fit into the overall picture.


~~~
In my opinion, it does not matter. Physical features are easily bendable; I would be more attracted to personality.

 

[untothedepths]

Never cared about any of that. Only care about how he is, how he treats me, and how he treats others.

Chubby guys

 

[halleyscomet]

I personally am more attracted to chubby men, but if I had to pick between muscular and skinny I'd pick skinny.

Guys that are super muscular just don't really appeal to me, for multiple reasons. I just personally am not attracted to a lot of muscle, and gym bros really irritate me like the really obnoxious ones get on my nerves.

 

[toro]

it VERRYYYY much depends on the guy and how exactly those muscles sit on him, sometimes I can appreciate a buff dude (not really the body builder type.. that scares me a little), the golden sort of range IMO is strong fat? like the guy is built but there's a GOOD layer of fat over those muscles, enough that he's nice and pudgy and cute, a thousand points too if he's hairy <3 I can find skinny guys cute too, but honestly if you put a chubby guy and a skinny guy in a room and asked me who I was more attracted to it would probably be the chubby guy!!

not into the kind of guy that's SUPER worryingly skinny though, i prefer healthy men and weirdly it makes the guy look more boyish to me? which is just personally not something I'm into, i very much prefer older men and guys my age so a guy looking young is not ideal for me. at the end of the day though i once developed a crush on a guy just because i saw he was nice to his little sister and he owned cats, so my standards are very fluid

 

[LilysAngel]

Idgaf what they look like. Depends on the person they are. How they treat me. How they treat others. How we communicate.

 

[Forveleth]

Healthy. I've dated big dudes and twigs and didn't care about their body shape so long as they were trying to stay physically fit.
