I saw this lady doctor on the news who has a book out called the "Adonis Complex". Her theory is that we are all sick fucks like anorexics and such, obsessed with our builds. We probably are, but she makes the statement that, by her survey "women prefer men with average bodies", in other words, skinny pukes and dough boys. Bullshit..do you see women turn and look at geeks in public places? Anyway, what do the women say about this that you brothers know?

Have you seen Michelangelo's statue of Adonis - really ripped, but no pecker or balls - must have used Deca.

When's the last time you've seen a chip n dale's dancer with an average build? Or one of those guys on a romance book cover with tiny pecs and normal arms?

all i know is that it makes no sense. women are attracted to muscular builds because of evolutionary traits. a strong man can hunt better, fuck better and provide for her and her child better than a weak man, therefore carrying her genes forward into future generations. that might not be the case anymore because of technology, but those traits are deeply rooted in our dna (this is also the reason they are usually attracted to a guy with a nice ass, because that is a sure sign of athletic ability).
anyway, i think what that lady said is bullshit, probably marketed towards ordinary men with inferiority complexes. besides, she has obviously never fucked a bodybuilder.

It's sad but true........some women actually prefer twigs or pigs. However for every woman who doesn't care for my build, there are 37 more that do.

I dont know, I ask girls at my college this ALL the time! Many say that toned and skinny is perfect. Some girls thought ricky martin is even a little too big! Almost all of them definatley think that the guys in the magazines are GROSS. But im sure they dont realize those pics are retouched and they are very pumped in the pics. most people dont walk around that veiny all the time! But i dont give a shit. i work out for me and only me. My theory: Women that dont like really muscular guys are too self conscious of their own bodies, hence too afraid of competing with their man!

No seriously, where i come from (Mississippi), there are three ways to hook up with a fine bitch....
1. Be Rich
2.Act like a queer and try to be popular
3. be lucky
I was none of those...Girls paid me alot of compliments and attention on my physique ( two summers ago, i was voted "most sexy without a shirt at a beach party"...but the women in my area are all about money and status...i mean, once the kegs started emptying, and the hos forgot about money, I was the man, cause I actually looked good...(not bragging or anything, seriously). Bottom line, the rumor is basically true... Damn, what a rant. marauder out.

decibel is absolutely correct. It all goes back to evolution and DNA. A woman is attracted to strong characteristics whether it be physical, mental, emotional, etc. You saw that on one of those PBS specials didn't you? I did too. All I know is that I see PLENTY more hotties with either cut or buff dudes, rather than the average or puny guy.

Ok guys, want to hear a girl's opinion??
We do like to LOOK and ADMIRE buff guys. But when it comes to boyfriend/husband, the less than perfect gives us more security. Think about it, would you feel secured with a perfect bod when your own physique is only average or even on the chubby side, which is 98% of the female population? So it's a bit more complex than just a simple like or don't like issue.

Think of it this way: If a few of us were
nicely dressed (say - polo shirt and khakis)
alongside several other guys of average build, and our financial status, automobile type, size of our home, was concealed, chances are - the female would choose us.
