DO muscles get chicks?

Ogun Posts: 559 Joined: 2002/08/11	2003/07/13, 12:09 AM Good topic eh? I was walking around an amusement water park the other day sporting the abs and wondering if they really make a big difference to the chicks. Lately I've had no time for dating, but perhaps some input from you guys and gals...do muscles really get the chicks, all other things being equal? -------------- --There are no versions of the truth.-- Jeff Goldblum, Jurassic Park II

	2003/07/13, 03:45 AM I've been spending a lot of time around the pool at my apartment complex lately, and as far as I can tell, muscles definitely get the chicks. I suppose they won't help so much if you're a bumbling illiterate with a Quasimodo face, but overall they open the door for a lot of opportunities. -------------- OSU Law Rugby....specializing in personal injury and pain & suffering.

The more outgoing ones will surely let you know with catcalls and whistles, kind of like outgoing guys do to shapely women. If you are overly muscular, as tarab21 says, this turns some women off due to the fact they think you are all about yourself. A happy medium is in order with women...I think a good, toned body is very appealing to most. The media drives home the abs thing as the "holy grail" of bodies now, but I don't know that all women are as entranced by them as they would have you believe. I think in the end, if you are feeling more confident about yourself because of this, then it will show in everything you do and make you more appealing to the opposite sex. Thank goodness I am married....LOL.. -------------- As far as genetics go, the skies the limit. You are limited only by your mental perception of it. Ron

Personally, I like muscles/tone (they don't need to be huge) - it tells me that the guys takes care of his body and that we may share a common lifestyle. I see muscular men as goal oriented and driven, although as Tarab said, sometimes you do get the self absorbed ones - If I see an easy smile along with the nice shape - totally sexy!

Ogun Posts: 559 Joined: 2002/08/11	2003/07/22, 05:40 PM Well it's like this bhardy...if I go out and don't come home with a chick, I'm almost perfectly pleased with just flexing in the mirror for a while. Holy Guacamole, I'm a sick cat! But you know a bunch of people on here are the same way... On that topic, do you guys find yourselves peeking at every opportunity for new muscles, harder muscles, etc? I know it's silly, same as weighing yourself everyday, but I'd much rather have this problem than a Ben & Jerry's problem, that much for sure. I'll agree with the basic premise that the confidence that accompanies the personality type of one who is self-consumed is the girl-snagger above all. Yet my confidence has little to do with my body or health...I just got older and don't care (in that respect, what appears to be confidence is really just a mature calming). Oh Well, this is my United States of Whateve :D -------------- --There are no versions of the truth.-- Jeff Goldblum, Jurassic Park II
ACT3 Posts: 44 Joined: 2003/04/07	2003/07/23, 08:49 AM lol ogun... Well, dude, at least you have the balls to admit it. I think every guy who works out hard has a little Ogun in them. I also think your right about overconfidence snagging girls. I see the most arrogant guys (no offence) with the nicest girls. Maybe that is an age thing (girls usually 20-23), and they want to get their bad boy days out of the way. Anways,there is such a thing as being too overconfident. I will agree, however, that it is better to be way overconfident than even a little shy. The shy guys dont live life to the fullest. Moderation in confidence is the best, but if I had to choose an extreme, I would go you way Ogun. And your right, be who you are, and if people complain...just say "Whateva'" -------------- If you work them, they will grow... ~-~-~-~- Al

I like powerful muscles, however, more that the 'pretty boys' that train for pure esthetics. I think, also, that I could never be with a man who didn't take care of his body. I appreciate all the work that goes into getting huge, plus there's nothing like a great big man to make you feel safe when you're out at night. -------------- Think you can or think you can't; either way you're right--Goethe
fit4ever Posts: 37 Joined: 2003/03/07	2003/07/28, 10:13 AM I'm all for abs...because it shows that the person is very fit..and takes care of his/her body. Not alot of people realize the hard work and discipline it takes to achieve a hard body. As for tarab21's comment, alot of people do get the impression, that muscles mean the person is self-absorbed. In a way it is true, how can one not be self-absorbed? There is diet, training, 3-6 days a week. Its a lifestyle, some can live and others can't. And Ogun, you should love your body , you're the one that created it!!!

i81b4u81 Posts: 30 Joined: 2003/02/11	2003/07/31, 11:29 PM I was curious to see the response that question would get. Do muscles get chicks? It's a question of preference obviously. Perhaps it would initially. Be that as it may, whatever physical attributes did attract a women to a fellow, alot more than physical appearence is going to be needed to sustain it. In short, she's going to eventually want to know more about your personality, beliefs, goals etc...depending on what you're looking for, muscles can only take you so far.

llburro Posts: 8 Joined: 2001/05/23	2003/08/05, 04:57 PM i had a girlfriend once who at first, i think, admired my working out ethic, then i guess she saw it as some sort of obsession and tried to make me quit. so you have to be careful of that.
London Posts: 176 Joined: 2003/01/10	2003/08/06, 10:31 PM You know, muscles may not get chicks, but for the first time in a LONG time I was asked out by a woman today. I was planning on asking her that same day (since it was the last time we were having that class). So I'm not sure if there is a correlation to me losing a lot of weight and getting muscle toned, gaining self confidence from the weight training, or if it would have happened anyway. I just figure it can't hurt to be healthy.
kenny_wtf Posts: 195 Joined: 2005/08/08	2005/08/19, 01:45 PM do girls(straight) like strong guys? DUH! they do. i know that chicks generally dont like men with too big muscles cos they think such guys spend half their life at the gym and are real exercise-obsessed freaks. a moderate amount of muscle with a nice toned body is the best. of course if u have good looks to go with it with a great personality it helps. so answering ur qstn..more often than not, girls DO generally like muscular guys. its obvious, DUH
kenny_wtf Posts: 195 Joined: 2005/08/08	2005/08/19, 01:48 PM at the end of the day. all of us staright guys in here lift weights and build muscles to impress the opposite sex. i think thats the primary reason. actually staying fit is probably a secondary reason..for me anyway. ahaha
