What Male Body Type Do Women Actually Prefer?
Many bodybuilders report that they started going to the gym to look better. For the girls.
Here’s the funny part: After making progress and building muscle, most of them are surprised to receive almost only compliments from other men.
I can also confirm this. I am far from looking like a real bodybuilder, but I have also gained some muscle in the last year. Instead of attracting attention from women, I also got only compliments from other men. Not bad either.
Does that mean women aren’t that into muscle? Are we wasting our time at the gym? A street survey I discovered on Youtube provides the answer.
Asking Women Which Body Type They Prefer
The video is from Joe Fazer, a well-known fitness Youtuber.
He approached young women on the street, showed them 4 different pictures of male upper bodies, and asked them which one they find the most attractive. They could not see a face. So it was purely about the body type.
The Pictures showed an athletic body, a very muscular body (bodybuilder physique), a very skinny one, and a body with a bit more body fat (what you might call a dadbod).
