It is the question all of us gym bros constantly wonder about. Whenever we see a total smoke show looking in our direction it immediately fuels our ego and makes us puff out our chests. But is she looking at you because you are attractive? Or because she thinks you are way too “self absorbed” and a “gym rat” like the dudes?
What body types do girls really find most appealing? Do they want all of us to look like a shredded out beast, or do they really want us to be in-shape but more normal? Bros, I will do all of us a huge favor and dissect this for us so we can really find the ideal body type to bring in the babes.
Before we do this I have to say something. I know most of you will agree with me when I say I Do Not Workout To Attract Women. I workout to improve myself, get healthier and strive for strength gains. If women come along, it is just an added bonus. But, some bros train to impress the chicks. That’s cool too.
Healthy Seems to Beat “Macho” everytime
Non-Hulks are Most Desirable
Many of us gym rats will never take steroids, nor will we ever become a fitness model. No worries there because your body types are overall the most desirable…even amongst the fit chicks. Here is a picture with the percentages of what they prefer for the ideal beach body.
82% prefer the “healthy, in shape guy.” In that picture the dude obviously works out, but he isn’t a ripped hulk and he certainly doesn’t take steroids. Yet, that is the ideal physique according to most women. Here is another photo of the most desirable physiques.
I must say I am quite shocked. Haven’t us guys always been taught that chicks want that “alpha male, big and strong protector”?
Clearly, it matters on the type of girl. That is blatantly obvious. If the chick works out, she is going to look for a guy that is totally into fitness, too. But the average girl doesn’t want a gym rat. They want somebody who works out to be healthy and lean (A Tim Tebow if you will).
What is funny to me is alot of bros I talk to don’t even want the ripped fitness girls. Most of us bros also want a girl who is fit and healthy, but not “self-absorbed gym obsessed” chick...Sound familiar?
After doing all of this research, it is obvious that both girls and guys have completely wrong opinions on the “ideal body type” to attract the opposite sex. Guys always think girls want that hulk, that beast, that ripped out monster. And while some girls are totally into that, the majority of women are not. They see that as an obsessed, self-absorbed guy and a big turn off.
Yet even the buff-ass dudes want a healthy, fit girl. Not a fitness freak with 3% body fat. So, the reality of the entire body-image subject is look how you want.If you are in it for the ladies, be healthy and fit, but not “freakish.” And, if you are in it to be a monster, just know that there are plenty of chicks that find your 20″ arms hot as f*ck.

Every guy who lifts wants to be a beast. Not necessarily Ronnie Coleman huge, but have noticeably bigger than average muscles and strong. But a lot of us want to be big and a Hulk. That is bad news for us guys lookin for babes. Let’s look at some stats
89.2% of women say that a man taking care of his health is important to them
74.5% of women want a man that’s stronger than they are
61.8% of women want a man that can protect them
60.8% want their man to look his best
58.8% think it’s important for their man to have bigger arms than them
38% want him to be strong and muscular.
38% are cool with average
2.9% want him ripped ‘n muscular like 50 cent
(stats taken from a study done by foxhoundstudio.com)
Only 2.9% want us to be big and ripped. Why is that? Well, like we saw in the video, girls want a guy who is “healthy and takes care of himself” but not “obsessed and self absorbed with his looks.”
Bros, are you thinking what I am thinking? Are girls so intimidated by our muscular physique they would rather date a weaker man instead of somebody like us? Interesting…
Steroids are a no no

Most girls have No Idea what takes to have a body like this dude.
They know he is dedicated and obsessed, and because of that, don’t find him particularly attractive.. Most fitness models and guys who look like that are taking some sort of PEDs. We all know it. But the girls don’t.
Almost 90% of girls would not be ok with their man taking steroids. Their reasoning is different than what you might think…a beauty doesn’t want her alpha male on the juice because it “affects his health” but the body image didn’t seem to matter. Pretty contradictory if you ask me.
So, if you are currently taking steroids or are going to take steroids to bulk and cut at the same time. Do it. But it might risk your relationship with your babe.
