Do woman only care about the upper body???

[cawiau]

The reason I am asking because I have met a lot of guys so far that goes to the gym and only works one part....yep, you guessed...the upper body part.

I can seriously count on my fingers the amount of guys I have seen in my gym doing : squats, leg extensions, leg curls, calves raises, leg presses or any other type of lower body exercises.

I asked around and this guy told me...which my cousin that does the same thing agrees with : Girls don't care about your legs...they only care about the chest, arms and abs. So when they come to the gym they only concentrate on that.

And now I see why that the bench presses are always busy while the squat rack are empty...Actually I take that back. On more than a few occasions I have seens guys doing barbell curls in the squat rack.

Now girls/woman of the misc...Do you want your man proportionate all over or seriously you only care about the upper body???
I have seen my share at the gym...those guys pumping their chest up and flexing their arms for the ladies than I look down....chicken legs

So all comments are welcome

Seriously, work the lower body, chicken legs=not hot IMO. I don't understand why on Earth guys do that...It makes no sense, I love legs, especially solid legs, it all has to fit, proportion really is key.

No one knows where guys got the idea that women like chicken legs.. but we don't.

That is what I am trying to understand.
I have been at my new gym for close to 3 months now and seriously...the woman are the only ones that do lower part.

Actually it is kinds funny...the guys concentrate heavily on upper body
The woman concentrate heavily on cardio and lower body

The people at my gym need some schooling!

[cawiau]

I don't know because it seemed that I missed the memo.
Some guys consider cardio as leg workout.

Now can you woman help pass along the you like your man to have a lower body to match the top...
This way some of them would actually start working that part.
The view is quite upsetting.....and I am straight

Well my husband has very proportionate legs

[cawiau]

Well my husband has very proportionate legs

Lucky you...or lucky him...Whichever way it goes

So why? If both woman that posted said that they love well proportionate bodies with a nice pair of legs attached to it...why to teenagers, guys in their 20's up to 40's keep concentrating on one part and forget the other.
And the usual reason is : Woman only care about the uper body!
So are you woman to blame?

Guys can be delusional

IMO,

1) Developing an excellent set of legs takes a lot of dedication and an impressive threshold for pain. Bicep warriors usually don't have either one.

2) It's hard to show off legs unless you are wearing these .

..so basically, for most people training legs is simply "not worth it".

Very true, but sometimes you see guys in a nice pair of jeans and you can tellhe works legs and thats hot.

Good point, I never actually thought about that

I wonder what I would look like rocking one of those ???

Stupid but true

You are married??
<commits suicide>

LOL

[lulublue]

aw hell no son you gots ta work the legs!
A guy with nice toned legs/glutes/hammys etc looks so damn good both in and out of pants

(and in a towel mmm drool)

I always notice guys legs as well as the upper body proportion is very important

[anb1683]

Maybe the guys who don't work the legs are guys who go after the skinny little cardio girls with no muscles and don't know better. Just sayin'

[cawiau]

Ok, I guessed most woman if not all on bodybuilding will say legs are important.


Now I am wording it differently :

Before you started bodybuilding yourself...did you care about a guys legs or all you noticed was his upper body???

I've always liked legs, My ex had chicken legs and I hated them, he was actually just a skinny dude and I hated that, but his legs were annoying. Its ugly...I don't get why guys think that they dont have to work them.

[CoffeCanSlayer]

Yes, but girls that arent on BB.com could give a sh!t less about legs. Very true.

[proteinpump]

I enjoy women who admire the lower region

I've always noticed the whole package when perving (relationships are different as love is blind)

Realistically the upper body is at eye level so it will be the first thing you notice most likely but proportion has always been something I have noticed, whether the guy is big or small, skinny or big proportion is still important

[rockstarsar]

Proportion, proportion, proportion! Chicken legs are gross!

agreed.
The commercial/recreational weight lifter is in the gym strictly for cosmetic reasons and doesnt think about other items things such as symmetry.

Before i got into bodybuilding I STILL didn't like chicken legs!! i HATED seeing guys with a wide chest and little twigs for legs!! there used to be a guy on campus and we used to call him lil T because he was shaped like a "T"

Wide chest, wide lats (back then i didn't know what lats were), but the tiniest legs in town!!

When did we see his legs? in the hotter months where it just got too hot to wear jeans all the time. Those commercial lifters never think about THAT. Or how getting a beach body means you'll be walking around a beach with your LEGS exposed!!

Not I, I have huge legs. Strongest point of my body, lots of hardwork. Cant find jeans to save my life for that. Third week into my running now and they are getting ripped.

Hey Matt, how you doing. Good to see your still at it. My legs are huge too, but it was from years of hockey and lifting. I keep trying to tone them down as my legs grow faster than upper.It becomes a pain after a while, always trying to get bigger up top and tone down the legs.

My take on the chicken legs "sitchiation" is....what's the point of having the arms to hold me up if ya aint got a good base to keep me up?

My husband has what I call his "white oak" thighs. Doesn't lift a damn weight and still thick and solid and toned and....and.......

.......


buuuuzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Cawiau, you will look great once you get leaned down. Do you do seated calf exercises? Your calves look small from the front, and seated calf exercises would help.

That's what dufuses tell themselves that women want. Why? Because lower body work is HARD WORK, and it's far easier to make excuses than to actually perform the work.

Also, don't take advice from guys who workout just to get women... take advice from guys who workout for the sake of the sport and to improve themselves for their own sake. Improvement should be proportional... lack of balance is very noticeable.
