Buff? Nah just physically fitt i think. Really buff gives the impression you're insecure and obsessed i think.
In general that it is.

9 times out of a 10, I rarely get the "I'm doing it for myself to be healthy" response. It is always about dem womans.

? I'm bigger than almost everyone I know besides a few pros and I FOR SURE am not insecure. But again I lift because the feeling of the pump is like nothing else.
Now if you have a guy come up to you and the only thing he wants to talk about is how strong / buff he is than ya, brosef is insecure.

That's a shame! Tall boys FTW. I'm 5'8" and my ex boyfriend was 6'2" I've grown so accustomed to that sort of situation I don't know how I could adapt to anything else. Still, he doesn't have to be that much taller to be able to overpower you. It's great for when your body says TOO MUCH and pulls back but your mind says MOAR. Your partner then goes ahead and makes that decision for you and drags you back in.
Stop me if I'm going too far. ¬.¬

Yeah you're the Arnold category. Just loving the iron. But in general i think people consider really buff men to be overdoing it. Over compensating for something. Whether it's true or not for that particular person.
It's just what i hear people say. I like the feel of almost getting a feverish feeling because of lifting too ;p.

Sure thing. It's filled with nothing but pics of muscular dudes, cute animals, and tasty food.
I don't have very good cheekbones. They only really become apparent when I'm smiling. I can't do the sexy pout.Haha. You know, I think my submissive tendencies might be the reason I like big guys overall.

You know what though I just noticed that poster posted "obsessed' and that part may well be true. Seriously it takes up a large portion of my life 7 days a week. Is it worth it? Maybe not. I seriously am probably addicted at this point and that user makes a very fair point.At first I focused on the insecure part which not all (But some) heavy lifters have. For sure though its become an addiction.

Yeah i understand. At some point the only thing you see are points to improve. And the feeling is daaamn good. The feeling of pushing iron and going through your pain barrier that is. Sometimes it feels like a nice xtc kinda fever through your body, if you know what i mean (maybe not the best way to describe it).

Exactly! I'll be honest when I first started this stuff I was 135lbs. Hard to believe but its true. I felt small and weak and at first I like many men started lifting for looks / appearance to women. But at some point it really does consume you. You look at the bar / curl and your like fuck this how hard can I go.
My wife preferred the skinnier rocker look but she also understands that for me its about the competition. Its about how far can I push myself. But for sure I understand how to some it could be perceived as an insecurity thing and it DID start that way for me. At this point though its like Arnold was, an addiction.

Eh, I'm more about legs. I wanna wrap myself around a guys legs like a koala bear. I'm probably not dainty enough to do this, but oh well.

Well yes. Obvs. Every guy I've ever been with has had super ticklish legs though. You go in for a touch and it's teeehehehehehe stop and it simultaneously makes me lol and disappoints at the same time. I'm sure your dainty enough to have him carry you around on his back though, which is hella fun. I've probably almost killed my ex on a number of occasions where I'd sneak up from behind and jump on his back. Like while he's at the stove cooking.

The best part of being in a relationship is all the goofy stupid things you get to do when you're around each other. Feels so good to just unleash the inner dork demons.

RIGHT?!
Its true! We all focus on the physical things but nothing at all beats when you are so comfortable with your significant other you can just be silly and fart and stuff. (Yes GAF I just went there! Come on we all do it.)
That's when I knew that the person I was with was the right choice. Of course I was attracted to her physically when I first met her but once I realized we could nerd out and just do stupid stuff together..............that is something special.

I assume most do, but ultimately I don't really care.
When you start out working out, it very often is to "look good naked and get poontang", but then you start to appreciate the art of lifting for itself, of the dedicated quest to become a finer human specimen and you stop giving a shit about what other people think - all you care about is looking into the mirror and see a God stare back at you.

One of my fondest memories was standing on the opposites sides of the room with our dog in the middle making cave man and woman noises and flailing around. Freaked our dogs shit. If anyone saw us they would have had us committed.

Ok, yeah but at 5'4 you shouldn't have that much trouble finding the kind of guy you want. If you were 5'10 or so you'd need a pretty big dude.

I am more attracted to faces than body types, but I tend to prefer tall and skinny. My SO is like that, a bit lanky and I dig it.
The men I find the most beautiful right now are:
and
The former is sometimes shirtless in Hell on Wheels, and he's pretty buff, though completely hairless. A bit too "clean", not my favourite body type, but, really I couldn't care less. And the latter hasn't removed much clothing in Sleepy Hollow... yet. I'm still hoping. xD Though he's probably sexier with that period coat. >_>

To be fair that is a damn good coat.
Haha, yes! I will admit I find this guy incredibly attractive, particularly with dyed hair. I think it's a combination of looks (slender, well-defined cheekbones, dark hair) and charisma - and the actor himself is a genuinely nice person too.
I actually like women with the same features, so they certainly don't have to be exclusive to men.

I would say any woman prefers "her" guy to be in shape. Being really buff though, is unattractive to a whole lot of women.

As someone who dropped from 260 pounds and super flabby to 190 and fit, yes. I easily get hit on by over 5x as many women when I am fit as when I am fat. Basically every 10lb I lost, a good 50-100% more women came on to me. I get hit on multiple times a week these days, and when I was a lardass, maybe a couple of times a year.
Some women prefer flabby guys because they feel the guy is less likely to leave them, but that's dysfunctional relationship stuff, not straight attraction.
Don't listen to what people say, observe what they do. And relationship talk is meaningless, it's what people do when they are single and looking that matters.

Noses are weird. Literally when I think of the nose as a thing I just find it weird. It really defines the face but all I can say is I know what I like when I see it.
Hands on the other hand, can get me hot and bothered. Strong, somewhat rough but gentle hands. To me, it all comes down to how your man handles you. So many feels were had by me on account of all the literal feels. I swear some endorphins release when you're cuddled up with your guy and he rubs you with his hands while you lay down next to each other. That's how I used to fall asleep almost every night.

I want to do that with my girlfriend sometimes but she always refuses, feels bad (she's 5'8 I'm 6'3)

That's sad. I see so many people with noses I consider attractive say they're going to get rhinoplasty, and it breaks my heart inside.
Mmmm Eric...
His face, but not his body. Read it on buzzfeed, too lazy to find the link.
No, but I do think there are trends that can be observed. Most women prefer taller men; most women prefer non-balding men; a disproportionate amount of women prefer white men to men of other races.
I can do the same for men's preferences, by the way, in case you think I'm singling women out. General societal trends exist and can be described.

Now excuse me while I'm off for my daily introspective ritual of covering my body in baby oil and admiring my muscles in the mirror.
