Bad news for runner dudes, women really do find muscles attractive and skinny unattractive

Your average male is short and overweight. I'm 6'0" 150 lb and my gf loves it. She was dating your typical college kids before me. Not buff, not skinny. I can pick her up and that's all the strength she needs. Stop blaming outside factors or women's preferences. Really all women look for is confidence (and kindness, and empathy, but who cares) If you don't have it, fake it till you make it.

I wish this were true. Looks have to be there or else you get shut down very quickly.

lol maybe in the Twilight Zone do women not care about looks.

Ive always been a big fan of the brad pit fight club kind build. Thats not size per say but clear definition. In no way a beef cake but id bet youll find very fiew women that arnt down.

brad pitt in fight club is the perfect example of how to be a skinny runner type but, still attractive to women. just run instead of smoke cigarettes. still, i prefer the aesthetic of bruce lee, because he wasnt all about the ladies, but could definitely outdo a beefcake in terms of power. Part of that fitness was 5 mile runs.

Bad news for some runner dudes, but good news for me, I've got muscles, I'm attractive and I'm a champion marathon runner, win, win, win I'd say.

Wonen above 20, find men with muscular wallets attractive, and men with skinny wallets unattractive. I guarantee you, money would bring you way more good looking women than muscles would. Almost any women, maybe 99% would go with money over looks. Furthermore, women find too much muscles as a sign of insecurity in men. Having to spend hours in the gym to feel confident. Anyone who doesn’t understand this is either a virgin or a teenager.

You think like men. Because you are turned on by looks, you assume that women are turned on by looks either. But that’s wrong. They are not men, and they aren’t turned on by looks. They are above that, different mechanism. They are attracted to power (not physicall power), money, self confidence. That’s what turns them on. They don’t give a crap about how you look

Not sure if this is a female or a male pretending he knows what a female likes, but you are definitely wrong about not giving a crap about looks. I am a female and while that is not the only thing I consider, it is important. I need to be attracted to the person I'm with! You are lying to yourself if you say you don't care about looks at all

Like any woman, a little money to you and suddenly your man looks hot. You’re no different from other women

who cares what women think. When you are building a brand you do it on your own terms. Look what Apple did or how wimps like the Beatles attracted women. When you are the man they will like you. For example yesterday I went to a Body Attack class. There were three guys and almost 50 women. I was better looking and in better shape than anyone else. In environments like that it's easy to become a star.

Honestly I've never thought what others think because that is a route for becoming a loser. I think that runners look better than muscular dudes and I've found out that women like me. So everything should be fine except... Actually the real problem is to find women who are attractive, smart and nice. Most women are just not special. Most of them have same kind of clothes, same hair style and they are boring and not very smart. So I am looking for limited editions.

Even if a women is blind enough to not be repelled by an unattractive runner dude, she will instantly run away as soon as he opens his mouth, if the personalities on this site are anything to go by. If you added up all the IQ's in this cesspool, you might just make 100. I for one think Bekele is the most attractive runner dude. He isn't a stick insect, but he has lot's of muscles, and yet is still the greatest.

Huh? Bekele "has lot's of muscles?" ? He's listed at 5-6 and a "whopping" 121 lbs ? His arms look skinny, no shoulder or trap development, bird like legs, etc. He's the typical diminutive slender Ethiopian top elite runner...nothing new there. Are you sure you mean Bekele and not someone else?

I'm 6'0" 175, run of the mill 1:18 half hobbyist with an athletic but not "runner skinny" looking build. My girlfriend is a professional runner for Nike that any of you would know of. Only one data point here, but she definitely prefers a normal athletic build to the "manorexic" (her words) look that most college/pro runners have.
