I asked a girl I'm seeing about this body thing, as she is one who prefers thinner men herself. She said that the reason why is women assume most real muscular men are just working out like that to try to make up for some shortcoming or are insecure with themselves. However they would be great for a one night stand, most women just can't picture them being boyfriend material. So in her mind if you look like that, you will have no shortage of quick flings and one night stands, but for a relationship most women prefer the thinner men. Of course as we all know with the right game anything is possible, but this also goes to show you always need the proper context.

This is so precisely retarded that you managed to refute yourself as you were making your argument.

Let me guess, you are skinny.
She probably told you what you wanted to hear, which is usually different than what they actually want.
There is no ideal male body type just a preference that many women would prefer to have, do you ever see skinny male strippers?

As for the comment about being over 25 and needing steroids, that is a bunch of bull. Yes, I have dabbled with the stuff on and off over the years, but if you truly bust your ass in the gym you can get a decent body.

Ummm, actually I'm not skinny at all. My body type is very close to the UFC figure in the first set of pictures (the 2.9%). Anyway, I think you both are completely missing what I am saying our are just out of touch.

Yes, there is an ideal male body type, hence why the majority of women picked the same one. Obviously there are outliers and personality can compensate for anything, but judging strictly by bodytype generally speaking there is an ideal one. In fact, the discussion came up when she saw me drinking a protein shake because she thought I was trying to get even bigger and was trying to talk me out of it.

I'm guessing you are a very muscular person who has no problems getting women, and are attributing your success to your physique even though it really has more to do with some other factor, such as confidence or personality.

Think of the thin but fit man and super muscular man and compare them to a model girl and a pornstar. Most men would marry the model and fuck the pornstar on the side. In the same way, more women would gravitate towards the natural looking male for a relationship partner. Not to mention, alot of women have negative stereotypes about the super muscular men and will put them through more hoops. Now if you asked the women in this survey which guy would you have a one night stand with and never see again, I suspect that the more muscular men would fair better, though I doubt they would overtake Brad Pitt.

Also, it is important to note where you go looking for women. If you are a nightclub guy, I would guess more of those women are the types that prefer the more muscular men. If you are doing alot of daygaming in a coffee shop or bookstore, probably not so much.
