    Strange article- what do women prefer?

    http://channels.netscape.com/love/pa...men&floc=wn-ns

    It says that most women prefer scrawny men over physically fit men......How the hell can this be true? I don't buy it for a minute... Granted, i know most women don't want their husband to look like Ronnie Coleman, and many women think guys like Brad Pitt are hot....he is not "Huge" but he is not a toothpick either, as this article suggests that most women prefer their husband look like one. Such a belief would totally go against evolution, where a more physically fit man is better to be the father of a child, due to "survival of the fittest"

    I know for one thing, when i didn't work out and was out of shape, i did not have many girlfriends- That is totally changed now. But this goes totally against what the article says...

    Women contradict themselves too often. I have many friends that are girls as well as my girlfriend who all tell me that they would prefer a skinnier guy than a muscular guy. This is what they all say, and I am yet to figure it out. The problem is that this is only what they THINK they want, but naturally, women are attracted to the alpha-male who can protect them. It is encoded in them to go for the Alpha-male, even though they may seem more attracted to the skinny guy. Fact of the matter is, I have more than doubled the amount of puzzy I get since I started working out, and I think that most people will agree that this is the way things work out no matter what women say.

    Done with the rant...

    i personally dont give a fvck what girls like..i dont work out for them, i do it for me

    i get looks from girls all the time, i especially notice girls eyes more when i wear sunglasses...i see what theyre looking at. the funny thing is, is that i get more looks from guys, not sure if its admiration or hostility

    like ecto said, women contradict themselves all the time...i know any time i was ever with a girl and she got scared shed cling to me...i doubt she would do the same with a dude that weighed a buck thirty

    also i think the majority of women dont work out, and they 'say' they prefer a tooth pick

    i think that women that stay in shape prefer someone to do the same, and vice versa for men

    also it says in that article that women dont want to settle down with a muscular guy because they think theyre more likely to be unfaithful

    correct me if im wrong but isnt this the definition of shallow and judging someone for their looks? girls b!tch about that all the time, that you shouldnt judge someone based on their looks

    i have never cheated on anyone and never will do so, so fvck you!

    sorry for the spam, i'm really not trying to get a post count

    Ive gotta say I think a lot of women are intimidated by big guys, when im with some of my mates who dont train and we meet some girls for the first time, the women are always more comfortable around the others. I asked one of my female friends why women always seem uncomfortable around me when they first meet me and she said they feel intimidated and don't know how to react.

    I agree with MastaAce. However most women HATE it when a man gets alot of attention especially when they are together, so the skinny bonerack they have for a man won't take away from then. Thank God things are not so bad here.

    ppl who look down upon others becuase they value appearances are only being that way because they follow the liberal ideal that everyone should be equal.

    what woman SAY they are attracted to and what they wind up with are 2 totally different things, if you spend your life taking what women say at face value you are doomed to spend the rest of your life in a sexually repressed feud of clamless dissappointment.

    honestly, i doubt it is that the girls are intimidated by you. imo its that they see your roided out body and they are incredibly attracted to you, and subsequently feel shy. think about it bro, when you meet some FINE ass girl for the first time are you as casual around her as you are with her ugly friends? if yes then its cause you are confident. most people are shy around people that they are very attracted to.

    yeah thats what im talking about. Girls that workout and give a shit how they look want to be with a guy that looks good too...same goes with guys, i definatly would be with a jabba the hut

    these surveys arent directed towards only girls that keep up with themselves

    ~65% of the US population is obese

    of course fat girls arent going to trust an arnold and would rather marry a ray romano

    i could never date a scrawny guy or ever again date a guy who isnt atleast 5 inches taller than me. i always said i liked athletic guys.. but my boyfriend now is more bulky. i would prob take the ronnie coleman over a pee-wee herman. lol ronnie is way to big and i dont like that much muscle.. but i need a guy who is bigger than me who i can grab onto and whose arms i can easily cuddle in

    Lol did anyone actually read the article? It says women are more likely to go for muscular men as just a fling and they consider them on average better in bed. Do you all really find this upsetting?

    It only says these women would choose not to marry one because they assume they'd be unfaithful...

    Yeh so do I, but theres definately a difference between shyness and being intimidated, I can see it written all over a womans face when they are intimidated, and I have to make and effort to make them feel comfortable. I think its on a subconscious level a lot of the time, and the women probably don't even realise they are acting different around the big guys.

    It does not matter who you are, there will most likely be a group of people who like you and a group who doesnt. No one can be liked by everyone. If a group of women like skinny men, they could be primarily recreational drug abusers who tend to look for other men who abuse the same substances. One of the first ways a woman could tell if a man abuses is by a skinny or weak man.
    You just cant tell with things like this. But whenever I read something like that, I just like to imagine the reason the article was in the mag you read, was because a larger man took the writers boyfriend away and he is just mad. If a woman wrote it, maybe her muscular boyfriend quit liking her and she was just mad at him and wrote an article about sexy skinny dudes to piss him off. Who knows, but if you work out you are heading in what society would feel is a good direction.

    in my experience, an i notice this a lot....a lot of girls will claim to prefer a scrawnier guy, until they actually get the chance to be w/ a more muscular guy. so damn often girls will b talkin to me saying "well dont get TOO big", and im like wtf is too big? too big 4 wht? but thn wen they see a huge guy they change their minds and thinks its hot or w/e. so thts y the article would show these results cause many girls claim to prefer a scrawnier guy until they've experienced otherwise. plus the fact like gangster said, a huge % of population is obese, which means tht an even bigger % is still "not in shape" but not quite considered obese. if no girls liked scrawny guys, they're wouldnt b a whole lot of guys left ovr to go 4.

    I also read a study claiming the opposite, saying women looked for physically fit men, with a square jaw line for the fact they look like they would be the best breeders
