Why do women like "ripped" look?

[bamagirl]

Because they can see the individual muscles move......a big turn on for girls.

[InfectedWithBB]

Because back in our ape days, fat stores meant you were a high status male, and THEREFORE you were unavailable.

Fat = boss status = taken = settled down.

Ripped = young virile male who has yet to establish a pack of his own. Single women are programmed to look for SINGLE men. Being ripped means being single in the ancient part of your brain.

Glad I could help you guys out.

That's the weirdest explanation possible dude.

[captainhorseboy]

it really isn't that weird

[InfectedWithBB]

Its makes no sense. Being single or being in a couple doesn't alter your genetics/metabolic rate that much.

Besides, men who are in relationships/marriages are more attractive to women but women prefer ripped guys because they are single? what the hell...?

...you could put that in a biology book, evolution chapter and for explanation to your statement just say "Because I said so!"

[Barbarian440]

Who cares? I think It's funny to force women to look at my large hairy stomach covered in sweat. I even jiggle it a little if they ask.

Because it looks good.. the same reason we like tight, fit girls.. it LOOKs good.. its symmetrical, and attractive.. theres no deeper meaning, theres no ancient bull**** going on in your brain.. its attractive.. enough said.

Fat can be symmetrically allocated on a person too.

[poolshark472]

Because a guy with a lean, ripped mid-section is basically the ultimate display of good health to a woman. Similar to why guys go after women with bigger breasts. Subconciously we are telling ourselves that they will be good mothers because larger breasts mean adequate nutrition for offspring.

[du3ce]

very true

the one girl I dated absolutely loved the way I looked (face/body, constantly gave me compliments on it) but still dumped me cause I was inexperienced/acted like a douche.

lol rip chucks in the red again

you're one of the most retarded 18 year olds alive

there is ancient bull**** going on because the REASON you "THINK" it looks "good" is because your DNA makes you find it attractive

if your DNA made you find fat chicks attractive, then im telling you that you would find fat chicks attractive

deeper meaning is the only thing that makes us find a certain thing attractive









for girls, they like guys with abs because it turns her on seeing a mans muscles they like it when they can see all the guys muscles and the fantasy of having that man on top of her thrusting into her with his muscles working all over her body is what turns her on so if she can see your muscles on you it makes her want to sex you

[Captain Harris]

Well, huh, might as, might as well ask why is a tree good? Why is the sunset good? Why are boobs good? It's not what you like, it's the consumer.

Sorta makes sense. I think it has more to do with a skilled hunter who eats alot of lean meat and is constantly tracking and chasing prey will probably be pretty lean. It just means you are a skilled hunter because you are always able to get alot of protein (bring home the bacon) and you are always active. All of these things mean good genes and a good mate to protect and provide for your offspring.

Cliff format story.

- Big arvo/night of drinking
- Didn't eat much
- Next morning, was in boxers in sleeping bag
- bad skin on back and very self conscious of it
- once room was empty got out of sleeping bag
- Stomach was totally empty, abs were raging
- played with my abs for a while because i'd never seen them stand out that much
- wimped out of running into the room with everyone else to show them off
- will keep at it because being ripped is what my body does best and i don't mind the look myself (ecto)

Good answer. It could also be to do with the fact that less fat means fitter and more able to outrun predators or more althletic and better at hunting.

have you ever seen pictures before 1950 of a guy with a 6-pack? i haven't)

SEX.

Withing 30 seconds a women self-consciously decides whether she will sleep with you or not. It may even be 10 seconds.

The chances are...

if your overweight = its a no
if your obese = its a no
if your average joe = maybe
if you look like ronnie coleman = maybe
if your ripped = probably

The reality is that women prefer the 'ripped' look.

[Replicator]

Media influence and the fact most of us live in a densely populated, urban society where you need exaggerated features to stand out (think big tits on a woman... they never used to be as important in sexual attraction as they are these days).

There are obvious evolutionary factors, but come on; the ideal physique these days was practically unattainable until 50/60 years ago. It's all hyperbole.

[Fendi]

You're a virgin b/c you can't talk to women and have NO "game"(i hate that word) It has nothing to do with your 14%BF. I know dudes well over that who ain't getting ****.

x2. like me

[JTLDN]

game > abs

[supacrazymonkey]

some girls do, some girls don't. most girls will fuck anyone under the right circumstances. stop overthinking it you faggot

[X222Z4]

Think the other way around. Men like women with flat stomachs.

[UNIVERSITYofHUGE]

not all is true, i do have big shoulders,chest, back which makes me look slimmer than i am but i still have that gut looming, working on taking care of that but i have dated andgot numbers from girls that I wouldn't bet my left nut i could have gotten, most of the time they approach me............women know what they like not all women like 6 packs..........last three women I dated were in serious shape and liked how i was built (protector status i'm thinking?)

[bradzilla]

I'm asking about this more on the scientific level. Everyone has a 6 pack but most have it covered with fat.

Fat is big quantities is bad, but some fat is actually healthy. It provides excess energy in case you are sick and don't have nutrition. It makes more biological and evolutionary sense to have some fat on you (enough not to have a 6 pack). It is true that we no longer live in a society where we have starvation periods, but none-the-less being ripped isn't necessarily healthy than not being ripped. Yet, women love definition.

Any theories? Could it be that men with high testosterone are usually naturally ripped? This way we actually FAKING our genetics/natural fitness.

Every girl that ive talked to didnt like the 'ripped' look. They liked the fit and slightly bulky look instead.

Ive done lots of thinking about it and here is why i think that it is - when a guy is 'ripped' it means that he spends massive amounts of time and energy on himself and every girl will tell you that is a bad deal. Girls like being the high mantenace ones and when they see you constantly in the gym to maintain your look it makes them think that they have to too. (which is another reason people on this board complain about how they finally get a six pack and no girl cares)

two cents from my 26 years of life.

[suave9]

this whole F*ckin thread is just comedy

[ALPHAMALE419]

so girls say they dont like the ripped look, do they?.....go to a pool or beach l and ill promise u the guy with the abs draws more attention from the females,than the "slightly bulked guy all day....THATS A FACT!!

[varter]

it's because fashion magazines and pop culture tells them that a ripped, model-esque in-shape body is the embodiment of high-status and attractiveness. women crave to be socially accepted and revered, and withholding sex to seemingly higher-status males is how they achieve that.

obviously a ****ty personality can put even the hottest body out of the high-status category, however until they take the time to actually discover that ****ty personality, at first glance, the body trumps.

[BigJayNJ]

Why do women never shut the f**k up?

Why do women make no sense?

Why are women completely irrational beings?


See where i am going with this?

[suave9]

The greeks thought of women as snakes. They believed that just like a python, they get you in a coil and tighten it and tighten it until they finally choke you out.


They were some pretty smart fellas i might add.

Not all the time. I am seeing a SUPER hot chick right now that does nothing but encourage me to get bigger.

It depends on the girl. Some girls just can't stand skinny dudes.
