Toned or showing muscule attracitve?

ChrisYi Posts: 126 Joined: 2001/05/05	2001/07/24, 10:16 AM I've watched movies or shows with some of my students in Taiwan. They think that the guy that has more muscle is unattractive. I think a man or a woman with a toned body or has "muscules" is attractive. What do you think?

Although I think its very impressive to see the acheivments of women bodybuilders, I am more attracted to the fit and trim, in-shape, Miss Fitness kind of bodies. My wife says the same as your students about male bodybuilders. She thinks the bodytypes of Dorian Yates and Ronnie Coleman are disgusting. I just think its amazing men can get so huge!

So Any body who's 6 feet 5 or taller no matter the built I would have to LOOK UP TO. But I personally admire people that put a lot of work and discipline to be able to show off their body. I think like anything that people don't know, they tend to say things without really understanding or caring about it.

Although I don't find it attractive, I totally admire the massive and chiseled physiques of Coleman, Ray, and Ruhl. They have worked hard to get that...and their size is truly amazing! Now for females, I admire bods like Brant's, Johannesen's, and Lowe's. I do agree with the previous post in that the bodybuilder's physiques do begin to lose femininity.. however, are also absolutely unbelievable! I will end with this... A good man is always hard to find....................... but a hard man is always GOOD to find!! :)

I think it's not practical when they get that big, where will they buy their clothes right. I think because of the so called "norm" I think men look good "over developed". Come to think of it, they probably have a hard time finding clothes that fit too. That's a bit of my 2 cents.
