He's dead?
Women love funny men with big bellies.
Most men would agree on the ideal female body type--slim(other than the chest and buttocks). While they like slim, if it gets taken to an extreme with girls that look sickly thin and anorexic, it becomes very unappealing to most men(contrary to what fashion mags want you to believe).
When it comes to women's taste in men, everybody knows they like a big, strong guy. From what I can tell though, these steroid taking guys on bodybuilding magazines are not attractive to most women. Like with women being slim, there seems to be a point where it becomes "too much of a good thing." So two questions naturally surface:
1: Why do these guys go so overboard with the muscles? Yeah it may be a sport for them, but in the end what they really want is to impress ladies, amirite?
2: What is the ideal build for a man? At what point do the muscles become too much? Perhaps it is not as cut and dry as it is with male preference of female bodies.
LOL @ Zyzz being mentioned.
Meh hate on Zyzz all you want, you can't deny his influence on teens in Aus.
Hmm... I doubt it. I mean, I've met muscled nerdy guys and they weren't all that attractive to me. I mean, I guess if they really REALLY had an attractive personality to me I'd go for it (I'm not quite that shallow), but otherwise I'd much prefer a skinny one.

A picture on the Internet told me so!I thought the ideal man for women nowadays are effeminate, lady-looking men.
For me, the ideal physique was Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman
He had broad shoulders, developed chest, good arm size, ripped abs, and toned legs. It was incredible.

What influence is that exactly? Voluntary steroid and HGH consumption?
Perfect bodies, Pitt seems to have less muscle though, but regardless these guys have 1% body fat on them
indeed. bad influence.

Oddly enough, I feel like my love of muscles came from a lot of the media I enjoyed as a kid. Capcom fighting games, comic books, and Frank Frazetta artwork all feature ridiculously thick muscular dudes and I grew to like that look.
I'd say Capcom is also responsible for my love of huge muscular thighs on women.

Are you exaggerating?

Yes. Pitt looks to be sub 7%, Bale under 8-9%.
wat lol. I can see you just dislike Zyzz very much.
I'm guessing you lost a friend or two to the gym craze.
Women can have pretty different tastes. I prefer skinny, nerdy guys myself. *shrug* All the guys posted in this thread do pretty much nothing for me.

Drugs and roids I believe. Correct me if I am wrong.
Frank Yang is the new hotness.

I don't think either is under 6 or 7%, hell there aren't many examples of that kind of BF percentage.
If I was straight this would probably be my typeI wish all women prefered skinny, nerdy guys. THEN i would be popular with girls. *sigh*

GI Joe is to boys what Barbie is to girls (Pope, Olivardia, Gruber, & Borowiecki, 1999). Over the past 20 years, these G.I. Joe toys have grown more muscular and currently have sharper muscle definition. The GI Joe Extreme action figure, if extrapolated to a height of 510, would have larger biceps than any bodybuilder in history.
I'd say that's a very realistically achievable body type. I'm working toward something like that. Not that I wouldn't mind being ripped but dropping to the single percent body fat percentages doesn't seem realistic in my case... going 13-14% or so isn't too crazy a thought though.

Why is it out of reach man?
Pretty close to a maxed out natural physique:
More importantly, how do these men view themselves. Unique to America more men suffer body image issues, which I can understand when I see ads promising changes like this.
I'll see a guy in the Before pic on TV talking about how he always works out and eats right and I'll think, "damn right, guys like him and me gotta stay healthy." Then he says, "but I was a fucking fat ass until I used the Xross-Fit Survivor TRaining Core Duo." And then I feel like a fucking fat ass.
Is that guy really so gross in the first pic that he needs to change?
This is a super super clear case of the before pic being taken after the after pic. The dude has the same build in both, it's just in completely different states. The "befure" picture is taken after drinking a bunch of liquid and before doing any exercising, and he's purposefully hunched and sticking out his gut. The "after" picture is probably taken immediately after a work out and with good posture.

It's not if you're willing to eat food with very low fat contents.
Is not
