Women don't like muscle?

So I was reading an article on T-Nation the other day and I will just give the gist here. The article was citing a poster at Planet Fitness that was giving statistics on what women like and it turns out that a significant portion of them like dad bods. The article went on to cite some studies that show that younger women seem to prefer less masculine men, while older women appreciate masculine men, but think overly buff or shredded guys would be too into themselves to pay attention to someone else. The only caveat was that fit women seem to like fit or muscular guys. Just curious what some of your experiences are. I am going to try and embed the article. Ok. Didn’t work. Anyway, if your curious, its on t-nation and its called Planet-Fitness says women don’t like muscle.
 
I don’t have much experience with most of that. However my crazy fiflipima wife does not like when I walk around with my shirt off. In my past life when I was a chunky monkey she didn’t care. Now that I have some muscles popping out here and there it really makes her jealousy kick in. I think she was more secure pre muscles.

That is probably a factor in the outcome of the surveys in the article (I am just guessing here, but most of the explanations given weren’t really about ascetics, but rather about factors such as attentiveness, and women liking non-challenging men, so jealousy would seem appropriate in there as well).
 
Maybe they like fucking muscles they just don’t want a relationship with muscles?

We can’t let what women think dictate our choices anyways. Just gonna let us down. Not because they are women but because they are human. Gotta go with what makes us happy and leave the rest to fate.
 
In my experience that is spot on. I get more looks from guys than woman. Now I think the preferring a body style has some to do with most don’t want to put in work themselves and they feel like they are with guy who is in great shape they have to be in turn. But I know
I’m probably l already t the size that is an acquired taste. And I only plan on getting bigger woman be damned. As long as I can find one to let me inside that’s all I need
 
I agree with @Rusty.

You got to look out for your self for the time being. Mentally and physically. Separation/divorce is stressful and will drag you down.

You’ve got to circle your wagons and work on becoming physically and mentally as strong as you possibly can.

Please don’t do anything silly. In the grand scheme of things, this is just a bump in the road although it don’t seem like it now.
 
I’m not being high and mighty. I was there once and had my my finger on the red button.

Hold strong and eventually this will all be a memory. No more no less.
 
What I run into is women oohing and aahing over skinny little pricks with pretty faces that run marathons every other day. I’ve never attracted those women (for obvious reasons) and I never wanted to. Still kinda grates on me.

Definitely feel like slightly older women (30 and above) truly appreciate a jacked dude, particularly in the bedroom. Always liked when one of my female colleagues would show up to a social function with a jacked dude. Made you know they appreciated the body.

Then you have athletic women, whether dancers, workout queens, runners, etc. They all tend to have a deep appreciation for a jacked dude, again, especially in the bedroom.

Not to dwell on this, but query whether I would be as into the gym if my wife were NOT into muscles. Upshot is that I would be–I love to train–but it would be disappointing not to elicit the reaction you deserve.

Most girls dont care to much as long as your not pro bodybuilder level of muscle. My girl likes my chest she sleeps on it spmetimes and likes my butt, but i dont think hav9ng more or not matters too much more about your personality and not being obese.
 
At my prime. Back a few years decades ago. I was younger and younger women liked muscular bodies. But now that has changed. You know who approaches me the most now? African American women. My son was with me and was like WTF? I get more complements from 35-40 age group older African American women than anything. And dudes too for some reason. 😂. But the black women love big tall bald white guys with tattoos for some reason. Hell. My wife tells me at her work they tell her “your old man is fiiiine as a mofo” not lying. 😂
 
The truth is this is beyond a meme. 😂😉😂 Puerto Vallarta has a large gay population. Got a lot of you look good my man… 😂
 
When I was single i was always treated like an experience haha I was as big but have always been really lean, and girls wanted to try it out but always ended up with the dad bod to settle down :man_shrugging:t2: Unless they were also into fitness. Then all the dad bod business went out the window.
