When is a man too fit?

    That other thread about the fit women got me thinking. Now I know most women probably don't like the overly muscular look like this fella:



    :D

    But are there certain types of male physiques apart from the huge bodybuilder types, like maybe slim guys with very low body fat, that you don't find attractive? I remember Billie Piper on Top Gear saying she didn't like six packs because they're too try hard. Gotta love billie. :)

    I was watching Take Me Out once, (Yes I was really bored) :o and a few of the women turned off their lighties because they thought the guy, (who was a bit of a gym junkie) was a bit vain and would spend too much time looking after himself, and not enough time on his lady.

    So where would you draw the line?

    You're going to get a load of women in here saying that they prefer skinny or fat guys and despise muscles of any kind. Just getting in before those lies.

    I'm constantly wary of being too fit, it's a struggle really.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    What I always wonder is whether being muscular negates having a bit of flab, or if its better to be a bit weaker but flab free.

    I can never seem to bulk without getting a bit of a spare tyre at the same time, and conversely when I cut, my hard won guns seem to always be the first things to go instead of the aforementioned wobbly bits :(

    You need more protein if muscle is deteriorating before fat.

    Yeah I have the same problem. I'm happy enough with my arms and chest - they're well toned, but I have a bit of a gut and I don't want to lose any weight because I've worked so hard to get to the weight I'm at now. I've always been slim.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,646 ✭✭✭✭Sauve


    A guy like the one in that video doesn't look fit to me, he looks strong. Now maybe I'm wrong, but the huge bodybuilders don't look like they could run 10k, or swim a few lengths comfortably. Or sprint up a flight of stairs without keeling over. I'm sure some can, but I wouldn't imagine it's the norm. They generally work on building muscle and strength rather than cardio or overall fitness.

    As for attractiveness, a little bit of everything is nice. Toned, fit, healthy...moderation really.

    Bodybuilders wouldnt be exactly fit. Plenty of muscle but the cardio of a block of cheese.
