During one of my extended trips to Colombia I met Diana and we started dating. While I was there I became a pudgy fucker because I wasn't working out like I should.

When I went back to the states I immediately started working out and eating better. So a couple of months had passed, and one night I was talking to Diana on skype and took off my shirt to flex a little bit.

She was NOT impressed; she was actually repulsed. All she did was frown and tell me not to get any bigger. And I wasn't even that big. I had lost fat and gained some (not a lot) muscle.

She told me her preference in men was not too muscular or ripped, but not necessarily fat.

I have another ex who wasn't into the ripped look either (even though I was ripped when we met, but she told me later on that it wasn't her preference).

These two are probably in the minority, but I suppose it's proof that some women out there aren't really into ripped dudes.

When girls are trying to lock you/have you locked down, they often try to get you to stop working out so you are less attractive to other girls. Basically she feels like if you keep working out, you'll become out of her league. Its subconscious in a way and I don't think it reflects reality at all.

Most girls like guys who are big or ripped.

It's the same principle why if you're an average guy, and you start lifting and approaching girls, you may get hate from some of your friends.

Girlfriends/girls you're dating are the last person you should trust for advice on your body. Every long term relationship I've been in has at some stage resulted in "you work out too much / you're too big / why do you keep working out so much, you already have a girlfriend" style conversations.

It's exactly as Saladin says above - girls in long term relationships either consciously, or unconsciously, want to make you less attractive to their competition.

I think if we change the language here from a ripped guy to a fit guy it kind of changes things.

I think a lot of women don't like ripped, not to say they don't like the look but maybe associate it with tight tee's, assholes, dooshes, etc.

I have seen a big increase in women looking for "teddy bar" type guys whatever that means or who say they want a normal guy and not a 6 pack, I wonder if they are actually attracted to that or if it's more of a I'm less likely to be cheated on by a guy less in demand or they won't feel as self concious about their own bodies if they are with a guy in the same shape as them.

Definatley agree. Not to say I let myself slack when in a relationship or dating someone regularly but when your not out trying to pick someone up every night there's just not quite as much at stake or quite as much motivation to be at your best.

Sometimes I'll catch myself slipping a little and say okay I need to eat healthier or run more or lift more or whatever else and without a doubt everytime I've done this while in a relationship i get some pushback about why I'm doing it it or even to the point of criticizing me for trying to improve myself.

Tell us more about how you met and started banging these girls when you were ripped and how they didn't like ripped men?

If they didn't like ripped men, they wouldn't have given you the time of day. Maybe it's a subtle preference of theirs, maybe not, but there's absolutely no way you would be able to tell considering you were ripped when you attracted them.

Watch what women DO, not what they say. What they did is start fucking you when you were jacked. That's the most important thing, by far.

They are lobbying to expand their fan club. The more guys they have chasing after them the more their perceived sexual market value goes up. The endgame being they try to "land" a high value man.

It's like hyping up a penny stock and selling it at it's peak.

I've never heard any woman say that she prefers an average or chubby man over a physically fit one.

It's as unlikely as a man saying he prefers fat women with short hair that dress like slobs over physically fit, attractive women.

Exactly. Where are all the porky male strippers?

Hell, how does a man go from 'that guy into that thing' to a movie star women everywhere gossip and talk about?

Yeah, women suddenly just noticed what good actors they were....

I've been rolling with a friend who has an extremely good looking physique(he's ripped as fuck).

He gets a lot of female attention. Girls are very interested in him right off the bat. Getting ripped and muscular is a major asset and something every guy should work towards.

What race is the guy?

Is he black like you? Or is he a different race?

Saladin isn't black. lol

^^ All those guys in the pic are juicing. I don't mean carrots either.

Simple answer to this question: How many guys here like average-looking chubby girls over sexy in shape girls? I will wait.........................

Why do you think that?

They don't.

What they say is this: "I'd rather have a chubby guy that is sweet and faithful than a ripped dude who cheats on me"

What they do is this: Bang the ripped dude

Tom Hardy could legitimately not be juicing, he's a reasonably solidly set fellow as it is, and his build could easily be natural for a guy with his frame. The others have had some help.

Those physiques would be possible without juicing with a few years of very serious training. However in Tom Hardy's case the issue is he put on 30lbs on a 5ft 8 frame in 3 months for his Bane role. And he semi-admitted to taking steroids in interviews:

Quote:Quote:

After bulking up for the role, Men's Journal reports, Hardy was asked if he had used steroids:

"No, I took Smarties," he said. "What do you fucking think?"

There were also loads of pictures of him on set as Bane covered in pretty bad back acne, which would add fuel to that fire.

^He even took it for that MMA fight movie he did.

I stand corrected. As you say, all possible after a few years of doing everything right. They are also seriously helped by good lighting and makeup making every ab pop.

With 'what happened' I meant, how did women react?



Note that all these men, despite being steady actors, suddenly became 'celebrities' and appeared on women's radar, (and facebook and tumblr feeds), after they got big.

As for Tom Hardy:



I have much respect for him for being honest about it.

Thanks

To confirm all the solid knowledge in this thread, let me tell you about the guy who is #1 world wide on youtube(I check these stats every once in a while)




Its the fat guy there. [Jump to 8:17]

So. . .That girl is his girlfriend, a Solid 6 at LEAST. now you would think that regularly a guy this fat with a neckbeard would never get a girl like this. . .

and you'd be right.

So I looked in the comments and someone mentioned that he was actually pretty fit before he met her. . .and that she basically fed him until he got fat.

Of you've seen the documentery about ksiolajadeet, you'd know that the guy drives a ferrari and lives on the penthouse floor of a top apartment in London. He's not even the top rated youtuber, so OBVIOUSLY this guy in the video is going to have money and fame,

money

and fame

+

Decently fit.

There's NO way she's be able to compete, and the dude would upgrade FAST.

Also, in staying the guy's girlfriend, it cements HER status as well (and since she has her own youtube channel featuring the guy most of the time, a fair amount of money as well)

It's a MATTER OF SURVIVAL for her to keep this dude hapless, fat, happy, and OFF THE MARKET.

This is pretty much one of the ONLY reasons why women would "like a fat dude"

England is better socially for regular guys.

30lb in 3 months is guaranteed juicing. One thing I'll add with many celebrities though is that even random shots taken of them on the street are photoshopped by their publicists. Essentially the biggest celebrities have a PR team that scans the internet and touches up basically any photo [Or deletes the unflattering ones].

As a for instance: I was recently in Melbourne working for the UFC's 193 promotional tour. This is the press release photo of Ronda Rousey:



And this is the photo I took when she was on stage for her stand-off:

To be honest, I only heard about this dude a month ago.

Cannot believe he has so many followers.

Sorry to go off topic.

Damn, what is up with Rhonda's chin?
