Do women actually like gym fit guys?

I think some gym fit guys think being gym fit will get them fucked a lot

I think women, in general, seek more than gym fit

Although I'd say it was a good start

Be gym fit for you and for how it makes you feel

Fab is way more complex than just a platform for aesthetic based attraction

Depends how one showcases their body...if it's too in your face, it can come across as unattractive. And although the "dad bod" is getting traction nowadays, I believe most women still prefer a fit body

I like fairly muscular/rugby built guys who look after themselves. The competitive bodybuilder look isn't for me, attraction wise, although I am always appreciative of the hard work that goes into maintaining a body like that

I love gym bunnies like nothing better than a fit guy in grey joggers *starts to salivate*

I had a few guys who made me feel like I was well punching above my weight

So I see why some women say they feel intimidated… but hey, had to grab the bull by the horns and enjoy the ride cowgirl style

I seem to prefer slim/gym fit but not body builder type bodies, BUT a lot is to be said for the face. There's a lot of lovely bodies on here but if the face doesn't "match" then either it's nice to be friends or it's a no.

Shallow? Perhaps. But I wouldn't expect everyone to like my face either (nor my body).

I haven't really found myself attracted to what's described as a "dad bod" at all. Until we came looking on Fab, I hadn't really appreciated that I do seem to have a "type". Mainly because I wasn't really paying attention, other than knowing I find Mr KC attractive.

In short yes, I like gym fit (but not body builder type) guys but need more than a nice body.....

I fully appreciate that super fit men look amazing and i'm impressed by their dedication but as someone that isn't in the least bit gym fit its a big fat No from me, I would feel like the biggest piece of crap laid next too someone so toned and I wouldn't be able to relax or enjoy anything for feeling so embarrased about my own body. Dad bad or double dad bod is more my thing, but with big muscly arms

I think that guys get gym fit in the belief that there will be queues of women falling at their feet. The reality though is that it tends to be guys that appreciate it more.

There may be some that loudly appreciate the look, I get a fair amount of fabs and public attention but I had more meets and private interest before I got fit. Draw from that what you will

I really like a man who looks after himself, and a toned gym fit body is gorgeous to caress and enjoy. The clincher for me though is that they also need to have a personality I find attractive. I like to be able to chat and have a laugh with someone if I’m going to get intimate with them.

Confidence is key, anyone that's confident in their self is more attractive but only to a certain level because you can be over confident. Life's bloody complicated

I'm gym fit for my age but certainly not body builder material. I go to the gym for myself to keep myself fit and also as importantly to keep me sane. It is incredible how much better I feel after putting myself through a good workout when I'm not thinking about anything else

The most important thing is a face. If the face is handsome the body can be normal, the guys height doesn’t have to be super tall and the penis doesn’t have to be donkey size.

If a man was a top trump card a handsome face would be 100, gym fit body would be 40, penis would be 40, height would be 30.

I’ll meet gym fit guys, I have met gym fit guys but ONLY if they’re handsome.

I’ve worked in a couple of gyms and notice that guys that are not conventionally attractive have absolutely wicked physiques and super shredded, same as very short guys. That’s just my observation.

Getting improved self confidence from physical improvement is more important to me than getting women based on my body.

I wouldn't want a woman to be interested in me for just my body, the same way I wouldn't want to be interested in a woman simply because she was a 'bbw'. Like someone said above , there's more to this than just aesthetic based attraction.

"This is why the rest of us non-gym fir guys just give up on fabs and clubs.

Women want someone who can pick them up and chuck them about lol"

Or maybe you really have no clue what "women" want. Please don't speak for me. Thank you.

It's got to the the whole package for me, I do much prefer slim and toned to dad bods but not gym body six pack type, like other ladies have said its because I'm not body confident and would think a super fit guy had messaged the wrong person

Not into six packs or huge muscles. I wouldn’t believe anyone who looked like that would be into me either. But face is more important than body, and the way he makes me feel is too.

"The most important thing is a face. If the face is handsome the body can be normal, the guys height doesn’t have to be super tall and the penis doesn’t have to be donkey size.

If a man was a top trump card a handsome face would be 100, gym fit body would be 40, penis would be 40, height would be 30.

I’ll meet gym fit guys, I have met gym fit guys but ONLY if they’re handsome.

I’ve worked in a couple of gyms and notice that guys that are not conventionally attractive have absolutely wicked physiques and super shredded, same as very short guys. That’s just my observation. "

Really. Literally zero attraction.

While the respect is there for them wanting to improve themselves, as I am doing, I much prefer natural looking female bodies with jiggles, wiggles, lumps and bumps. That's pure attraction for me.

At no point in our (very long) relationship has it crossed my mind that we might be "unusual" in one being very slim and the other fat. Our physiques haven't really changed much in the 17.5yrs. It's only when we started using Fab that it's struck me that people might find it odd!

It's exactly that for me. It's not that I don't get why people of differing physiques wouldnt be attracted to each other, I get that. I'm attracted to men with very different physique to me, clearly.

I just don't understand what anyone would want with me, especially someone who has a fit body, clearly takes care of themselves and is the polar opposite to me. I don't get it. I'll never get it. But I'm kind of glad that it turns out there may be something that at least one or two people are attracted to, even if they run the risk of crush injuries.

I like gym fit guys, and guys that aren't gym fit. But have to say I'm probably a cow as I'll assume gym fit guys are more likely to think a lot of themselves and be players.

Although they are more energetic in the bedroom and that's a plus.

Warning this will be a bit of a ramble.

I was pleasantly surprised how many women do just like a normal body.

As blokes we are kind of conditioned to think women like gym fit big muscles guys, and when you see those guys, a lot do have 'Barbie doll' type girlfriends.

This gist is backed up in here sometimes where there a cake, fast food or fitness thread in here and you get some pretentious guys posting and it doesn't sound like they'd be interested in a normal sized woman at all. This probably makes normal women not think a rippled guy would like her.

However attraction isn't always like for like and I think that's sometimes forgotten. We put those gym Hollywood body people up on a pedestal and think we wouldn't be good enough.

I'm sure some people are really over thinking things here. Until we joined Fab (Feb 2020 - epic timing!), neither of us had used dating apps/sites or even done dating because we've been together since school. My brain while scrolling through Fab is thinking "nice, okay, decent, OOOOOOOOO VERY nice, errrr no, no, maybe, nice, WTF is that in his bum...." etc. That's about as complex as the thoughts get. I'm not thinking "but I'm a size 16, with saggy boobs and an apron and so......" It just so happens that the pics that trigger the "nice/decent/OOOOOOO" thoughts are usually slim or gym fit guys.....

Presumably, this puts me in the "not normal" category now?!

I get that a lot of folks have target ideals in a partner, but in my case, the answer (at least to your last paragraph) is simple;

I just dont see what you see as your negative features in the same way...

Instead of seeing (as you put it) "wobbly me", I see irresistably gorgeous you. I see your beautiful eyes and the way they twinkle when you smile... I see your wicked mischievious sense of humour... your kindness and generosity of spirit - your warmth... and your snuggles are to die for by the way.

We are measured by who we are and how we carry ourselves - not in feet and inches or pounds and ounces.

As point of fact, having busted my hump in the gym for years trying to beat the hand that mother nature dealt me, I still see the painfully thin ginger kid in the mirror... and I still find it difficult to accept that anyone could find that interesting about me!

It wouldn't do for us all to be the same - the world is a much more interesting place with a rich variety of everything

Have had a very hard time accepting the chunkier me, but I know that's my hang up. I'm not a person who goes for the stereotypical body norm that society says is attractive but I do think I hide away because I feel other people will judge me for mine. Have had great interactions with people on here that I ran from due to me being the chunkier gent but I'm working hard to change the mental and physical hang ups I have

I think it's fair to say that no matter what the outer packaging, many people are not entirely satisfied or confident in how they look. Some people who I encounter at the gym obviously have serious body dysmorphia and are, in a way, punishing themselves by putting their bodies through insane workouts. Nowt as queer as folk, as they say.

It’s not really that. It’s more blimey look at him all toned and stuff what would he want with me wobbly me?!

It's exactly that for me. It's not that I don't get why people of differing physiques wouldnt be attracted to each other, I get that. I'm attracted to men with very different physique to me, clearly.

I just don't understand what anyone would want with me, especially someone who has a fit body, clearly takes care of themselves and is the polar opposite to me. I don't get it. I'll never get it. But I'm kind of glad that it turns out there may be something that at least one or two people are attracted to, even if they run the risk of crush injuries.

Posh

I get that a lot of folks have target ideals in a partner, but in my case, the answer (at least to your last paragraph) is simple;

I just dont see what you see as your negative features in the same way...

Instead of seeing (as you put it) "wobbly me", I see irresistably gorgeous you. I see your beautiful eyes and the way they twinkle when you smile... I see your wicked mischievious sense of humour... your kindness and generosity of spirit - your warmth... and your snuggles are to die for by the way.

We are measured by who we are and how we carry ourselves - not in feet and inches or pounds and ounces.

As point of fact, having busted my hump in the gym for years trying to beat the hand that mother nature dealt me, I still see the painfully thin ginger kid in the mirror... and I still find it difficult to accept that anyone could find that interesting about me!

It wouldn't do for us all to be the same - the world is a much more interesting place with a rich variety of everything "

Can we pin this comment to the top of the thread, for when we’re all having a bit of a wobbly day?! Xx

Alot of my gym pals actually feel the exact same way and have normal partners. Some even have bigger (for lack of a better term) girls too. Very rarely do I see a couple who are both ripped toners gym goers. "

They might not be both ripped but it seems to be a lot of super hot guys end up MARRYING or being in a relationship with super hot girls (doesn’t mean they are ripped too just very pretty)

It seems to be like that. And not saying that the guys wouldn’t find girls with an avarage body attractive, they probably do ..but when it comes to pairing, it seems to be like they do pick a certain kind of woman who look appealing to the eye. (Not all obvs)

Many guys also look for extra marital fun whilst keeping up appearances. Best just pairing with someone you find amazing in bed, it seems

I think it is kind of a keep up appearances a lot of the time and it’s just like a case “how gorgeous we look together - what a pair” type thing

There was a YouTube video of some lads doing a survey asking the public (young women) to choose their preference from the pics of different male physiques. The athletic look won by a distance. Dad bods and muscular physiques both had similar numbers of votes. Slender men received the least votes.

Isn’t athletic kind of muscly? Like muscly but lean (so not like a body builder)

I’m so confused

Yeah but did they just see physiques so just the body or did they see the faces as well?

I’ve been here 11 years and the amount of messages I’ve had from guys with beautiful physiques would run into the tens of thousands. You get excited but then comes the face, anticlimax.

The athletic look is toned with definition and moderate muscle mass. The muscular option was more bodybuilder as you point out. So athletic is more Bradd Pitt shall we say. And the other option was The Rock or Thor.

It was a survey on body shape so the face doesn't come into it

No this was purely based on physiques. Facial appearance is probably equally if not more important than body shape.

Yes but guys aren’t headless horsemen are they so the fact that women preferred the Adonis body is nothing on its own. A face will always trump a body.

As examples on this thread and off the top of my head, I'd say that Piscean Dream, Tea monkey and Beardybob are athletic. So for me, you've got it spot on.

The athletic and muscular pics both belonged to the lads interviewing people but nobody suspected it was their bodies. The muscular physique was deemed to be too high maintenance, loved himself too much or too intimidating.

Although that's true, if they were to show the face that's on the body then it would invalidate the results because they would then also be deciding based on face and not solely on the body.

It would be like doing one on bread and using different spreads

I'm not sure I'd believe no one suspected it was their bodies, I'd believe they said they didn't, but people (especially young women) are naturally inclined to flatter those in front of them (especially young men). So I'd say the votes would be skewed by that, and also by a bias that muscular young men are considered by many (especially young women) to be as described above.

Interesting though. Thanks for sharing.

Well, they didn't suspect I imagine because the athletic guy was known for being 'geeky' looking and in clothing, just looked quite ordinary and the bodybuilder lad was trying to hide his annoyance/disappointment when they gave those above responses.

But this is all based on the responses of a very narrow demographic.

Exactly it’s like having muscles. I think you would be athletic (on the slim side but still athletic)

Anyway I do agree that generally a nice face trumps an ugly face but with duper hot body

Tho that’s valid to a certain extent .. he can have a handsome face but if the body is chubby then it’s a no from me as well
