ARE ABS!? ABSOLUTE!?

April 20 2015

abs

So...this is a topic about how significant abs may be on a guy. And how much does it matter if a guy has abs and is nice and lean in comparison to a guy whom isn't. I see myself as being an active and health guy and always looking at ways of leaning up to not only look good (thats the bonus) but to feel good and be healthy. Do you girls really admire and respect a guy with abs and would you be much more likely to have physical attraction to this guy in comparison to a guy without? (Lets leave the importance of personality away from this as I am focusing more on physical) Would love to hear peoples oppinions :-) Thanks!

    To answer your question "Do you girls really admire and respect a guy with abs and would you be much more likely to have physical attraction to this guy in comparison to a guy without? (Lets leave the importance of personality away from this as I am focusing more on physical)" Nope. I go for average to athletic looking guys and I am not attracted to men with six packs as a general rule...... unless they have a good personality and we click as people and they have to have a face that I am attracted too. So in fact a six pack is probably on the bottom of my list of things I am attracted too. I do admire people who work so hard on their bodies. Good for you!

    IF profile photos are anything to go by..... you'd believe guys think all it takes in life is a set of abs and/or a cock.... and you're set. Pretty sure they find out how far that goes in here pretty quickly lol Even the thickest sugar coat doesn't hide the bitter poison in the cupcake.

    Thanks for that, thats interesting.Or though I was mentioning to leave the 'personality' factor out of this topic, so 100% related to physical attraction only. So to conclude you would much rather be attracted to an average guy than a guy with a six pack and lean figure? Thanks for your opinion, interesting :D xo

    I like big burly guys, tall strong etc but abs on men mean very little to me. I love people who like good food and wine . I don't find very fit guys a big turn on due to the generally narcissistic nature they possess. I value moderation in people and prefer to spend my time around people I can relate to.........nice biceps and chest from sport or hard work - yes please !!! Gym guys with solarium tans, short shorts and bright white runners ......shudder ! - Posted from rhpmobile

    I have given this some thought and can I say, I think the younger me would have answered that question differently. I probably would find abs and strong physical appearance very attractive back then, I think that was my hormones trying to direct me to the handsomest and fitness young men who would be best to be the father of my future children. Now that urge is gone I think I look for other attributes. PS. I do like rubbing pot bellies for luck.

    While I respect people who have killer bodies and ripped muscles for the work that they've put into achieving that look, there are other attributes that are far more important for me when it comes to physical attraction - like a cheeky smile for example. Much love,Elle xx

Thanks for your opinion, interesting :D xo My response didn't really have anything to do with personality. I am attracted to average to athletic blokes and I must be attracted to their face. I don't care if they have a the best 6 pack in the world if I am not attracted to their face and their eyes I have zero sexual interest. Again, profiles with 6 packs as their main profile picture don't get my attention anymore than any other profile. Six packs are just not something I am interest in. Sorry, I know this isn't the answer you are looking for. Otherwise I might have a interlude with a six pack at a swingers club but it is a fleeting thing. They are just a body like ParadisePair suggests. Again, these are not the best sex I have had so I am not actively chasing it.

    Just physically? Like mullets, moustaches and flat bums, six-packs are not physically attractive to me at all.

    It should only matter to you Swedish. I workout because I love working out. If I wanted to appeal to a wider range of women, I wouldn't train because most women prefer 'average' physiques. But I love weight training and what it does for me, so i'm prepared to appeal to a narrower female audience. Stay true to who you are and who you want to be

    Line up 3 guys. All same age, same cock, same face. All three are mute and cannot speak.Oh, did I mention they are all 6' tall (for Meander) #1 Beer gut, no muscle definition anywhere, slumpy shoulders, only activity done is chugging a slab at weekends or any day for that matter.............. #2 Average bod, some muscle definition, a lttle roll around the tummy but overall, well...........average. Sport is pushing the lawnmover around the yard every second sunday. #3 Defined pecs and lats. Muscle definition in the arms that you can almost feel by looking. Ab muscles clearly defined ready for a hand to slide down. Yeah, likes his gym........ While all you ladies fight for #2, #3 and I shall shuffle on into the night............. Shallow Annie xx

    Hi OP, I think the problem with your post is that it appears to me self serving....Along the lines of Look at me I have great Abs and a great lean body as well do you think I look attractive. There is no doubt that women and indeed some guys love a perv on a hot body and yes you seem to have one that is "hot". Personally I would think it would look better if the photo was not taken in a public toilet...to me that is a bit of a downer. Now consider that Arnold Schwarzenegger seem to have the sort of body you describe does that look physically attractive...to some i would guess. Five minutes of conversation though and you are running for the hills. As for respecting a guy with Abs...this is something you earn and is not given out purely based on body appeal. So do I think that a toned body will get more superficial attention than a less Adonis type sure, but then you have to talk...and there in lies the difference. I have had many a disappoint present that was wrapped up really nicely. LC

    Abs are good, lats also, pecks, gluts, biceps, shoulders, legs, a good tan and infectious smile also help, but with all that you could be standing alone as the one with the silver tongue and kind generous nature holds their interest, and even he may miss out to the all rounder, not perfect in any one department but overall just great to be with. You can land the fish you are after with the right bait but you can never get what ever you wish unless you get really good at the Jedi mind tricks, then all you need is the desire...

    I'm very much a face person. The spectrum of who I am attracted to is vast... And I must say I admire those bodies but I don't like their feel... I like a big guy but I don't want him chiselled. - Posted from rhpmobile

    Yarp, yeppity yes.... What DeliciousCurves said. If vanity has becomes someone's hobby, I have found I would struggle to find common ground. (equally I can say that about women as well), I'd prefer average guy, with a face I find attractive and a mind that draws me in. I have been with a guy who had abs, but he had a naturally chiselled physic - so lucky bugger did nothing to achieve it. But I didn't discover that till I got my hands on him. boing.

    Apologises!!! Just read your profile ... you should probably ignore what most of us have said. You're 25, and looking for people up to 40 and nearly everyone who replied is over 40. Haha.Just ignore us old bats, as it seems we prefer meat in places other than the abs. Have fun!

    In my experience girls don't really want to have sex with a really fit looking guys. I know I don't, I don't find that sort of commitment/obsession attractive and it makes me feel self conscious about my own body, even though I'm fit. I'd prefer 'tradie' fit than gym fit.

    My understanding is girls like a natural fit guy ? Not buff but not unfit either ? For me if a lady is natural in her shape and fitness level I'm good :) but for us older guys keeping a six PAC is lots of bloody work... Just my view is all.

    There is a tendency to say what people like and don't. Generalizing what people admire or find admirable does not accurately reflect the actuality. People like all types of personality and physical attributes. What is one persons ideal of tasty delectability is another's disgusting detritus. For those that do not fit the the mold popularised as attractive should not be mislead into thinking they are not desirable. Not mater how hard anyone may try, one can never be all things to all people. We are how ever fortunate, each and everyone of us, to be absolutely perfect for a few. What more could one want?

Im a practical sort of gurl...... Form and function, the designers ultimate goal to completely unify the two. For the admirer, attractive and easy to use. Footnote. "Use" in this case means; Fun to play with and does not require a week reading instructions to learn how to turn it on or find out what it does.

    As a newbie stumbling my way around here with my newbie cap on l'm gonna say dumb stuff and ask dumb questions for a bit till l find the groove. Firstly what's with O P l've seen a few times yet don't see anyone with o p in initials, feel free to chuckle l just feel l've missed something and no harm in asking. Thank you Sensual_Swedish for the question and all the info in the reply's. Looking at profiles that l want to message and seeing most of the ladies friends pics are guys with well developed abbs and pecs and of course dick pics and one feels a little out of place and understand why no reply. So reading what l read is different to most of what l see. And I'm starting to think l should park this up and come back in matching the pics l see, less the dick pics of course. So considering there has been mentioned important other things like smile, face, suntan v's fake tan, work or sports physic compared to heavy workout physic. I wonder is there consideration for effort and how active someone is and not just the physical appearance in a sense. If exercise was riding to work, didn't actually spend much time in front of tv. Exercise focus on own health benefits like it would benefit me to have abs because more core strength would improve and posture would be better, ladies liking would be a bonus rather then l have to do this for the ladies out there. Is it another part of being yourself stuff? Cheers Adam

    like big muscles and defined abs. large defined biceps, muscled thighs, add some tats and I'm in heaven. Im not so much into lean more the bodybuilding type. They don't generally like me though...well some do, but only in secret...shhhh

    My personal preference isn't in a 6 pack necessarily, but I do love big, strong built men with muscle, mainly because it plays well into how I like things in the bedroom, and also because being not a small woman myself, the stronger the man is, the more fun we can get up to. So while my taste does serve some kind of purpose, that's also just what turns me on. In saying that though, I've also been very attracted to the tall and extremely skinny guy before too. Faces are really important to me, it's what I'll look at the most, and if you don't have a personality, it's going to be a buzz kill regardless.. - Posted from rhpmobile

    I like to have abbs but I don't enjoy working out that much to get really defined, it is too much bloody work. So I eat lean and keep fit with sports and some callisthenics stuff. I am not a huge guy but I prefer small women so it all works out fine for me. I feel it takes a certain personality type to put that type of effort in to get into the bedroom, I would rather and do put the effort in in the bedroom where it counts the most ;) However I still need to keep fit or I don't get into the bedroom...and this is the circle of life! Fun right!!!

    Don't expect to land a fitness model if you yourself aren't quite fit yourself. Plenty of profiles on here where women clearly state that they're only interested in a certain look. So I simply move to the next one. Why waste a message? Who cares if after looking on my profile she realises I'd be a great match? It's not my loss. She's stated her preferences and I'll respect that without making any other presumptions. Work on yourself and be the best you can be but don't get hung up on the fact that not every girl wants to fuck you - Posted from rhpmobile

    Abs ? Or silicone breasts ? Same question could be asked of the opposite sex. In my opinion, nice to look at for a few seconds, but then becomes totally irrelevant when the action begins - experience, skill, respect and consideration to ensure the other person is fully satisfied is all that really matters, isnt it?Mmmmm ... miss my Babe.

    a man who keeps himself fit. He doesn't need to sport a six pack and I'll admire him more if he is around my age as I know how much more work and being diet conscious is required. Younger people have higher metabolisms and burn off the excess weight quicker, though to me that doesn't detract from the fact that it takes perseverance and work to make yourself look good physically, and if you are doing that for your own benefit then good for you. I respect the motivation/determination required for this but to respect the whole person I need to now that person's personality so I can't just comment on the physical aspect alone.

    When I read the topic I thought for sure everyone is going to be focused on the phsycial but nice to see there are so many likeminded people out there that think the same as me. A nice body is nice but a nice personality is gold. Always found a bad personality can make a great body ugly but a nice personality can make an average body look hot! - Posted from rhpmobile

I'm always a bit... well, I don't want to say pessimistic or insecure, but on a place like RHP with about a thousand guys with washboard stomachs, I can feel a tad under-par or self-conscious with my comfort-belly, and to see a broad take on body types, or less emphasis on that compared to personality, is pretty reassuring!

    I don't go by looks, but if I did, I would still prefer average over abs. Average means fun in living life as it comes and not having to live around a workout routine to keep those abs.
