I personally think body-building is good for men who don't want to sag at an old age, but a lot of young people have good muscle mass naturally, why do they work hard to develop it even more? It's something to do, but I never really got why...

Nobody has six-pack abs or big arms naturally.

It actually depends on what line of work they do, for example, and I hope you'll excuse using the same example I've used in another thread, construction workers would be more muscular than someone working in a bank... Especially if they have an active lifestyle in addition. But not on a body-building level, because body builders do not only work on their muscles, they also eat a lot of protein etc. and that lifestyle is very calculated.

The typically won't have six pack abs or large arms. The reason sprinters and UFC fighters also lift heavy in the gym is because it's the only way to get a significant muscle gain.

i dated a rock landscaper, and he had naturally big arms and a 6-pack. he did not go to the gym or lift weights.

Only 3% of the population have arms bigger than 16" and genuine six-pack (more than just the contours) abs typically require a bodyfat percentage of 8 and large abdominal muscles, typically requiring at least six months of continuous deadlifting. I somehow doubt that.

Attractive - doing what you say you're going to do. I know circumstances change, but I like to be able to rely on someone's word.

Unattractive - deceitfulness.

i didn't measure his biceps. they were large, definitely. and he had a 6-pack. he obtained it naturally from work. he was lifting heavy stuff all day. interesting that your best argument is to imply that there is an untruth from either me or the man. :lol:

- more than 1 or 2 tattoos

I think you have just described about everything that is unattractive about me.

I also have quite a lot of facial hair and I have to admit that so many women just don't find men with a lot of facial hair attractive.

Excessive facial hair does not look good on men especially on those men who also wear glasses in addition to having facial hair. Also some women may be allergic to facial hair so that could explain why they prefer men without it.

Also Wikipedia says that men without facial hair are more attractive to women than men with a lot of facial hair.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_attractiveness

Wikipedia also says that men with straight Caucasian hair are more attractive to women than men with kinky "Afro" hair and I have to say that I agree with Wikipedia on this.

I also have visible black dots (hyperpigmentation) on my face which I think is also not so attractive. I think the skin should look clean, smooth and homogenous.

I would do everything just to improve my facial skin, trim my nose hair and get rid of my excessive facial hair if only I had the money for this but unfortuntely I just do not have the money for this.

Here you go:

8% is the mean.

In rare cases, some men have six pack abs at 10% body fat and in extreme cases even at 12%. Then again, some don't have visible abs before 6% body fat and some may even go as far as having 4% body fat, still having stubborn fat covering their lower abs.

Couldn't retrieve the one about 16" arms, but here's another one to proove my point:

attractive but not a must have - toned body, hair in manly places, height+, deep voice
attractive and a must have - good smell

unattractive but not a deal-breaker - baldness/thinning hair, shorter than me or taller than 190cm, squeaky voice, certain speech impairments (not stutter though - I quite like it ), bad fashion sense
unattractive and a deal breaker - overweight, long hair, unpleasant smell

also attractive - general Arab Spring revolutionary attire. I'm waiting for the pics, Boo. call me :heart:

:lol:

I absolutely hate muscles. It can even make a really nice guy seem less attractive to me.

Well, I don't like to see that guys work out. That's more of my problem.

Things that I may find attractive:

1. Beards
2. Longish hair
3. I think I prefer more feminine guys

Things that I don't like:

1. Goatees
2. short hair, army style
3. overly masculine guys
4. fake tans (almost forgot about that one)
5. muscles

As do men, there's this social concept of what we're supposed to want that gets talked about a lot, but what people actually like is a great deal more varied and often less socially acceptable.
