A Question for the ladies...

**wanabeMASSIVE!** · 08-06-2008, 11:28 PM

What do women prefer, guys with bulky chest or six pack?

**wanabeMASSIVE!** · 08-06-2008, 11:29 PM

p.s men are also open to view their opinions...Post away!

**Amorphic** · 08-07-2008, 12:33 AM

six pack abs are such a gimmick if a guy is tiny.

getting a huge chest takes a lot more work and makes you look ten times better imo.

any scrawny guy can rip up to 10% bf but it takes a hell of a lot more work to get a chiseled chest and abs to boot.

**hotpink** · 08-07-2008, 12:36 AM

Both. I like a full package

Good point, I see lots of guys walking around with no shirt on because they are so skinny, their abs stick right out, but their chest looks like a pre-pubescent 12 year old

**Reed** · 08-07-2008, 01:08 AM

A pre-pubescent 12 yr old!!!! So true though

I couldn't agree more. Skinny guys think they're mad cause they have a "6 pack", and do not realise that the rest of their body sucks.

Funny, and true.

**DSM4Life** · 08-07-2008, 05:27 AM

I could easily diet down and get the 6 pack. The problem with that is that if a strong gust of wind comes by it will knock me on my @$$. I no longer dream of the 6er but focus more on my overall growth.

BTW
Who gives @#$$ what women want. Do this for yourself.

Nova, made a good point on this thread recently.... Can you bulk up and keep the abs? "abs are usually a sign of malnutrition." Its cool if you wanna make em pop for a competition or rock em out for the summer for a couple months or whatever. But constanly maintaining a six pack seems unhealthy and unecessary to me.....I remember talking to a male fitness model on here not too long ago and he was saying how he maintains 4-5% year round bc he has to. Then he goes on to say how he doesnt have any energy....Well no shiiit bro, thats bc your starving yourself!

**calgarian** · 08-07-2008, 08:42 AM

I dont know why you need to know what women like to get motivated??? I agree with DSM do it for yourself just cause you want it.

**TesticularFortitude** · 08-07-2008, 09:31 AM

Hmmm! not to go against the grain, but I disagree .. i know many "skinny" guys with six packs that train much harder most big boys . Any muay thai fighter trains like a beast. They look like a strong wind could put them on their ass, but we all know looks can be deceiving. I fight anywhere between 155-170, and it is definetly not a joke for me to make weight at the lower end of the spectrum.

I wont disagree with you on that. Cutting down in any respect for any sport (body building included) IMO is much more difficult than putting on size. Training while in a caloric defiict and/or with depleted glycogen store is no fun at all. And I also will agree that any type of professional fighter at the top of his/her game is an elite athlete.............Buuutttt back to the question at hand, which we all kind of got away from, it just depends on the girl. Ive heard both sides....And as evidenced by the responses on here, most would say BOTH, lol.

**BadBarbie** · 08-07-2008, 10:29 AM

why do we have to pick either or?

ladies like both.

we want it all.

we're greedy.

and we deserve it.

**Lexed** · 08-07-2008, 11:21 AM

I dont have neither would you still want me?

**TesticularFortitude** · 08-07-2008, 11:23 AM

abott138
fair enough - and in an attempt to answer that question:
I got wayyyyyy more attention from chicks when i was on a cycle and big arms/chest (well big relative to my usual)

Yes you are!

and we deserve it.

And yes you do

......As long as you gals keep your shiiit together.

**Skully44420** · 08-07-2008, 11:26 AM

well obviously they like both LOL

but for me i would rather have a big toned chest

**Ajc330** · 08-07-2008, 12:59 PM

get out of the gym if you are only trying to please the ladies

**KatsMeow** · 08-07-2008, 01:14 PM

Well we do like both, and I think we deserve both..but if I absolutely had to pick, I would say CHEST.

**tadpoleboyy** · 08-07-2008, 05:02 PM

women cant see your 6 pack with a shirt on. And 98% of the time you will have ashirt on unless you live by the beach or work at a pool or similar. I also got a lot more attention with a bigger chest and arms. I do work out for myself and personal reasons, but lets not kid ourselves, we all like attention from women and that is one of many motivating factors. Unless you powerlift i guess

**godkilla** · 08-07-2008, 07:21 PM

i get more girls now than i did when i was bulky. they really like abs and arms i find.

Agreed.

**Narkissos** · 08-08-2008, 10:11 AM

I don't have a prob picking up chicks.. but to be honest, the number of chicks who hit on me was way higher when i was small.

When i used to model and i was in the 150 lb area that was 'just perfect' according to most chicks.

Women preferred me smaller.. defined, but not stage-shredded.

Now i'm 200+ they think it's extreme.

If i used to be bothered about what women thought, I'd still be walking around looking like i should be working for A&F.

**wanabeMASSIVE!** · 08-12-2008, 04:12 AM

agreed with CNS i got lots more chiks when i was in collage. smaller, sixpack abs, small arms but i wanted B1GGER!..so i bulked like a f@@er and look scary and fat to em!

the funny thing is, i get more looks and compliments off guys wtf is that about!!!

**EatLiftGrow** · 08-12-2008, 04:24 AM

Myy Girlfriend says six pack so she's s**t out of luck.

HAHAHA I wouldn't say i get MORE looks/compliments from guys, but I do get a sh1tload. I'm only 18 and so many 25-30yr old hotties give me attention. It's crazy.

**J-Dogg** · 08-12-2008, 03:36 PM

I would rather be longer and leaner, more a wide reciver or under ware modle build than someone that looks like they can out pull a truck.

And I do it for the ladies, lol.

lol i thaught u was gona come out with some homo sh!t lol...

**Chitown Raider** · 08-26-2008, 07:04 PM

I focus on the bigger chest but that's cuz I do it for myself. I was scrawny for too many years. I don't really get compliments from women except at that gym. But if I'm out at a bar women have asked if I have six pack abs, that's all they seemed to care about.

**novastepp** · 08-27-2008, 11:19 AM

i just try to improve. better than i was yesterday, better than i'm going to be tomorrow.

i can stay relatively lean with abs, and gain size. all about what u want.

Your opinion might be somewhat biased DSM

Although I agree entirely. Who gives a fuk, what do YOU want. Personally I could give a fuk, whatever im stronger with. That just happens to be a big barreling chest.
