    How BIG is TOO BIG??

    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.

    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.

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

    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

    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

    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.

    Look there in no point worrying if you are to big for a woman or if they like big muscles or smaller ones because the answer to that question is yes.Some like big muscles, some like small muscles, some like 6 pacs, some like chubby guys ect.ect. The truth is if you have the perfect body but you only talk about creatine and protien and your pecs she will get bored quick. Never spend more than 2 seconds caring what women like because if the one you are talking to doesn't like how big you are there are only 3000000000 others out there, I am sure you can find a few who will like how big you are.And what if you were beaten withe the ugly stick?Do you wonder around wondering if every girl you pass thinks you are ugly?Forget about what women want, get as big as you want to be, then find a woman who either likes how big you are or doesn't care.

    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

    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

    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!!!

    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.

    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.
