How BIG is TOO BIG??

[Gappa]

This is an age old ?..
If I still want to look good to the opposite sex, how much size is too much.
They say females think guys that are too big are scary or intimidating.
So what is the point of no return? When does a man's body stop being "sexy" and becomes "freaky"
And better yet how do you know where you stand?
I do know that BF% makes a huge difference, if your abs are visible then you should be good to go no matter how big you get within reason.

Good question, but this should be in the lounge bro. Since it is an opinionated question.

[bjpennnn]

i have been up to 190 at 5-6 5-7ft tall. and i thought i looked amazing but most girls did not. All the bros were super impressed and at parties i found all the guys running up and talking to me and the girls not so much. But i found a few super hot ones that were down with me being as wide as i was tall. its up to you man whatever makes you happy is what matters rite. I hope your not doing all this work to score a few dates with some babes. Confidence goes a long ways man, you dont need a six pack to pull chicks. personally i want a chick that will ask me to up the dose and tell me i am getting to small.

moved...

[SMCengineer]

Probably like 12 inches, but I don't have the problem of being 'too' big.

[Phate]

personally i think if you care what girls think enough to let it influence how you lift, you shouldn't be bodybuilding, you should be weight lifting

[Gappa]

We all as bbers have a narcissistic way about us.. Being attractive to the opposite sex is much more preferable than trying to impress dudes.
I am only talking the fringe benefits of training. The goals and purpose are much more ambitious.
But everyone has to admit they want to look good.

personally bro, i you can get guys to want to be around you, then girls are easy, and by this i mean, if you walk into a room and guys stop and come over to talk to you, you just became the alpha male of the party, and now i guarantee you have the attention of every girl in there

[CBGB]

I'm to big.....175lbs of twisted steel and sex appeal!!!!! lol

[Gappa]

anyone that trains to actually attempt to augment their body's composition is bodybuilding
weightlifting is when little johnny cracker comes in a few times a week and hits a machine or two and leaves

[Gappa]

I see what you are saying phate but I still don't want to be the guy that women would not want to talk to just because they are intimidated by mass..

[T-MOS]

you are not gonna please every girl so BE the size YOU want to be

I know girls that were first attracted to me DUE to my size, and I have also met women that think I am too big....so its subjective

thats like us liking blondes over brunettes, or big boobs over petite ones

Just depends on what they like, and if they don't like you whatever size you are, then the hell with them!!!

[IronReload04]

no homo

an attractive looking guy is gonna be just a bigger attractive guy and vice versa. Its all about confidence. Muscles are definately an asset of mine that get me noticed initially. BUt at this point in time, I am by no means the best (someday hehe). But once I open my mouth, the chick wont be looking at other (leaner skinnier) guys the same way she looks at me. Personality and confidence goes a long way.


We all have preferences. I like small girls that like big guys. It makes awesome chemistry. I am really picky when it comes to women. I just dont go for the more robust ones. My brain just automatically takes them off the list. This kind of stuff works both ways. some chicks are gonna want the bigger dudes to feel protected and safe and what not, some will like the skinnier artsy type dudes.

^I approve this message. I'd also like to say that Phate is smarter than the average person

Are you suggesting that there's a man out there who doesn't like big boobs? That's pretty far out there T

i really don't, at least not huge ones, c cups on a 110lbs 5'5 chick are fine with me

[MuscleScience]

Personally I like to keep my athletic abilities and for me that means I cant be much heavier than about 225 lbs. I like to be a lean 205-210 as I am still strong, still look like I lift weights and can keep my quickness for sports. However in the winter when I am not doing as much as far as sports I will get as big as 230+ for powerlifting.

agreed, much over that on an athletic chick and they are a hassel for them and me, i mean shit, she needs to be able to balance

[warchild]

most chix like the lean look more than big muscles

I would rather play with perky B's or C's than flabby D's or DD's, just my taste

so did the guys feel you up ? or just compliment you? lol - sorry bro had to comment on that

[DEE151]

you can never be to big, believe it or not there is a lot of sexy ass girls that like big guys with muscle.. so i think you can never go rong with the way U would like to be

[amcon]

I would rather play with perky B's or C's than flabby D's or DD's, just my taste

i would prefer b's with c's and d's and dd's all at the same time... but thats just me

[amcon]

its simple girls like confidence... to prove that look at some of the fat out of shape dudes with confidence they/some have smoking sex/hot chicks... (note: confidence is not arrogance)

[eatrainrest]

when my dik wraps around my waist 2x

[TRT,MAN]

hey im not gay, but i notice compaired to when i was younger and smaller i was lifting for girls cause they like it. but now it seems that ive gotten bigger and i lift now for guys cause thats the only ones who care. not to say that im huge cause im only 5'8 and 215. but i think when you star to hit the 200 mark at that height. some girls dont like that shit. witch im married now and thats ok.

[gixxerboy1]

I see what you are saying phate but I still don't want to be the guy that women would not want to talk to just because they are intimidated by mass..

girls aren't intimidated because a guy has muscles. Guys use that as an excuse. If you have a personality it doesn't matter how big you are. I have friends that are 6'2 270 and lean and girls talk to him non stop. but he is the funniest guy i know. That's like saying you dont talk to a girl because her ass is to nice and her boobs are to big and its intimidating.

just like guys have different taste so do girls. Ive been told i as to big at a point and other girls liked it

[gixxerboy1]

I would rather play with perky B's or C's than flabby D's or DD's, just my taste

thats why they make fake d's and dd's

ummm... that means u r gay, dsm come get him

(sorry brother,... you cant say im not gay, then say i lift for guys to notice me... maybe you mean you want their respect?)

[jamyjamjr]

im 6'4 275 at 15%.... I tend to notice women can get intimidated.. but those are the women who i usualy dont wanna meet.. my gf right now loves the look of powerlifters.. guys who do strongman comps.. guess thats her reasoning for her attraction to me... every girl iv dated has pretty much been into guys like that.. tall, big and strong.. i guess it's a protection factor.. these women are attracted to power and with power they feel they are protected no matter where they are with me...

this became evident when i got into a fist fight sunday night cuz some guy thought he could be touching up on my chick.. i beat him to the floor and fractured my knuckle and fcuked up my fist missing his head while i was ground and pounding him.. ohh well.. the three missing teeth from his mouth will be a good reminder as to how he should be acting with women.. the dumb fcuk...

asshole put me outta the gym for a week... god damn it

[TRT,MAN]

ummm... that means u r gay, dsm come get him

(sorry brother,... you cant say im not gay, then say i lift for guys to notice me... maybe you mean you want their respect?)

Good question.

As for me, I train for me and only for me. Any attention I get from my physique, good or bad, is icing on the cake. And as with another post on the board, i do agree that if you are bodybuilding specifically to attract chicks, well, you don't really need to be bodybuilding. To me, bodybuilding is something that cuts down to the bone...you gotta want it, you gotta crave it, you gotta really do it for yourself.

If ANY woman gets turned off by it, find someone else! Billions of people walking the planet will assure that you will finally meet someone that in sync with your bodybuilding, and hell, she may even help you with your "supps!"

All in all, get big, and get big for YOU!

Life's too damn short to worry about the court of public opinion.

Ron IIII---IIII

[collar]

I really train for me and what i think is good for me.
I have being doing bodybuilding for 13 years now and its a lifestyle i love.
The attention i get just comes with the lifestyle we live, people get amazed by the dscipline and sacrifises.

But if you want girls i guess they like the beach body sort of look.
but at the end of day if you have it you have it and if you dont you dont.
so really it dont matter how big you are.

of course some girls hate big muscley guys, also some girls hate scrawney skinny looking things.

I have confident in myself and just life my life how i want i guess, they must adapt to my life not other way around hehehe.

Is 4 inches big?
