I have heard many girls talk about liking guys with a "V" refering to the shape of their lower abs I think. What exercises target this area?

Are you sure they aren't referring to the overall shape of their body, i.e., wide shoulders tapering down to a proportionately small waist?

I think he's refering to the area right at the pelvis that kinda tapers down. -------------- I see the words you are typing, but all I read is *click*click*click* They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself. - Andy Warhol Sometimes I feel I type just to read my own words. - Me |

Oh sorry...my eyes blurring on me. It's a staring at spreadsheets all day thang. But I don't think that's what women are talking about. And I don't think most care about the v-taper thing too much either.

That, I'm guessing, is a very clean diet.

Okay, so the pubic area? So, you're talking about something that women see only when a man is naked? I'll need to see a picture. Better yet, since I'll just walk away.

Hmm...I'm looking for pictures. I thought pretty much everything below the hips was in that other region.

I'm at work...and that pic is almost enough to get me in trouble. Be glad it isn't you...that's freaky looking. It looks ropes on the sides. Okay, I can promise you none of that is what most women like. So, the 'V' is the part between the ropes?

I think so.. the part that starts at the sides an "v's" down the front.

Well, you may be right Dr. Quack. Young girls may have different ideas now of what's hot. My daughters (20 and 22) seem to like the scrawny, nerdy type and I tend not to look at a guys build at all (although I have a hard time with someone who doesn't at least try to be healthy). And these friends of yours may like the look, but I'm sure when it comes to dating they are going to take other things into consideration, like personality, character...the things that matter, and not hold out for the guy with perfect v-shaped lower abs. I think arms are way sexier anyway--and that doesn't mean they have to be huge.

Exactly! I would just hate to think there is any guy killing himself in the gym trying to attain a particular type of body because he heard that's what girls like.

Just checked with my wife, she's not so keen at that look either.
I think in this age of low rise pants, that body part is really starting to become popular. I think we need a resurgence of pants like Erkel wore. |

Weird...I'm really thinking the guy in that pic had to do some major waxing to wear his shorts so low, and that idea in itself is just...eeew. Also, my first impression of that pic--it reminds me of pictures taken to appeal to gay men. I know there is a particular men's For Men Only "muscle mag" that has guys posing in little spandex briefs and nothing else obviously intended for gay entertainment...and they sell it in the supermarket.

Tim,
FYI there a great website that takes long URLs and shrinks them. It's a completely free site called tinyurl.com. An example is that I took your link above and this is what it is now: http://tinyurl.com/3a2lr9 Just a helpful hint :big_smile: |

Hard work, very clean diet, waxing. And perhaps genetics..

The "V" or as my old high school trainer used to call them the "sexy boy muscles" (He would joke with us cause that's what the girls called them) The V has gained alot of prominence because alot of models have it, I have heard (although don't take my word for it.) that if you do abdominal excersises, you will get a "v" shape down there.
It's honestly, a pain in the but to keep it though, it's like abs. If you don't geneticly have them, you basicaly have to eat chicken slices and brocolli for the rest of your life. |

well i think its hot you'll have to buy a mens calendar where they conveniently have footballs covering there bits to see the "V" but i think a buff guy is appealing, but just remeber every girl is different we dont all like the same thing. just be yourself i wouldn't go busting my guts to get a shape you think girls like cause mostlikely somehting else will let you down like er your personality us girls are hard to please hehehe

I always thought that was in reference to the Shoulder to lower back V? However in my left picture the top of the other V is visible without revealing too much, for those that have ProMembership and can look at the larger pic. However even at that point I never got a visible 6 Pack.
I put on about 20 lbs since then, so it's not as visible anymore but I'm down about 10lbs from there and working on it for Summer again. Diet got way out out of whack after hernia surgery and quitting smoking. But it's under control again and I will be back to that point by end of April. |

See, now, back in the day a sexy boy muscle referred to something else.

I saw a body building movie the other day and the V referred to lats to waist shape from behind. Unfortunately my behind is a bit too big to get that V so many try to achieve.

Yes, that's the only V I had ever heard of. But it is a new generation (wait, is this the V generation?) and apparently it has an all new meaning now.
