I never understood why women find ripped dudes attractive.

I get that they're in shape and healthy, but what about ripped dudes is attractive?

Then again, why do I find a woman's boobs and ass attractive? I dunno.. I just do.

Biological programming is my guess, muscles imply strength and that implies a better ability to protect and do physical work, both of which were more important to our ancestors but the programming remains

The ideal body type for most women surveyed is not super jacked though. Decently muscled but lean, or just lean with an attractive face, beats bodybuilder every time for most women

Having too much of a disparity can create issues for girls. A guy who is super buff and lean can be seen as a combination of negative factors depending on the girl: 1. They spend too much time in the gym and won’t have time for them 2. They have a hyper critical gaze towards not only themselves but everyone else, and a completely non-athletic girl might feel like she doesn’t measure up. These are just assumptions by women, and while they may not be correct, it doesn’t stop them from being put off by them

That’s why on dates when women point out what shape I’m in and ask how much I work out, my answer sometimes is “think of an amount that you would find off-putting, and it’s just below that” with a wink. Because in reality, it might be actually above that

The girl I’m dating now both works out and enjoys it, and she’s the first I’ve dated in a while like that. I don’t think I would have a good time in a relationship with a super athletic girl, as they tend to become huuuuge attention whores and wanna be models being hit on by everything that moves
