Yea I thought this got posted the other day but it never went through.

I would consider myself a seasonal guy...thicker during the winter and leaned out during the warmer weather. Except this winter I'm cutting early.

I don't mind a girl thats fit. I actually enjoy it. There aren't many like comp ready bodybuilder types that are very vascular and cut by me but that def. wouldn't discourage me...I like the everyday "normal" lookin girl to. Its more personality with me. I enjoy being around more health concious people over unhealthy people sometimes...so with that comes the look of the person.

I dislike it when people suggest that you shouldn't do that with your body. As long as you aren't doing anything counterproductive to your health, I don't feel they have any right to comment. However, if it means anything to you, I think your body is a tight little package, at least based on your previous avatar. You have some serious hips (Which I deem a good thing).

Thanks a lot!

That pic is so old. Its from September. I look much "tighter" now. Going to post new ones when I get back from the holidays. Slather on some self tanner and oil and get out the tripod.

I read where a 12" diff betweem Waist & Chest is the real beginning of a noticable athletic/BB's type build, which makes sense to me. I barely make it... my waist is 33.5 & my chest is 45.5" at my pits.... I still don't have a great "v" happening though...
As I spent most of my life "skinny as a bean-pole" & being totally non-athletic--- feeling good naked or @ the beach has been a major result from lifting!!!
A couple pix attached below - click to enlarge-. I'm 5'9.5" 173 lbs 30yo (and working on my legs!!)

Funny you should say this b/c for me it's just the opposite. Some people think I look fat or overweight when in loose fitting clothes but i remember I always look better than them naked

You have the right to do whatever you want to your body, but he has the right not to be attracted to it. That's all I'm really saying.
I have to agree with Robin Hood and disagree with you on this. I think he said what he said was in a very derogatory manner( "man boobs"). If he had just said six pak and sometime less hateful after that, it would have come off much less spiteful and she may not have gone off.

same here, i prefer being lean to being bulked

as for women i go for girls with curves, tits, ass, something to grab n' a gal that can handle my size

i like a bit of tone (on the arms and legs) but chicks wid flat chests and 6 packs is wrong!

I enjoy looking at girls in contest form (shredded and vascular) because I respect the art of bodybuilding, and the dedication it takes to get there, but they are just not "my type".

To girls, this may seem contradictory, but I know many girls who admire Ron Coleman, but who only go out with guys who are built like Jude Law.

Man!!! Every word you typed here was exactly what I would have said, I admire bodybuilders and I thinks it freaking awesome, but I love a girl with an ass and something to grab on to, of course it is hard to keep a relationship with a "normal/regular" woman because of our lifestyle because they dont understand it...

Thanks for seeing where I was coming from. And that's exactly why I was offended...b/c of the "man boob" comment.

But like before, to each their own. I just so happen to have someone who likes the way I look. Probably b/c he is also a bodybuilder. Makes life much easier when you can relate to each other's lifestyle.

You'll have to understand that the name of Cow Pimp's Journal has Man Boobs in the title, so it's hard for him to think someone would be offended by it.

I think we need to hear a tone of voice to discern. Either way, it's just semantics. We don't have to be that politically correct, do we?

I fail to see how someone can call a woman "six pak with man boobs" and have it sound in a nice way and not as extremely derogatory.

P.S. How would you feel if I said you had girly eyelashes and a stripper's ass?

Who said it was nice? I just think it was in a joking way, perhaps. At least that's how I interpreted it.

I would say you are 100% correct. These are very noticeable traits on me.

i have a very low body fat of around 8% not sure which is best calculator as different ones have given me diff answers but most are around the 8% mark. when training the other day i caught my tshirt with the barbel and could see why i was going to the gym and why to keep going i had abs and chest begining to get clearly defined as well as biceps begining to fill out shirt arms and i was happy with result. how ever body fat doesnt matter because if you see a huge bloke weighing in at 180-200 lbs or more no matter the amount of body fat you can tell its muscle not just fat. i think its better to have masive arms and chest than to be small in weight and just be toned. larger size generally shows more dedication and gains more respect in my books for the amount of work thats needed to get to that size and maintain it.

but if girls happen to see me with my shirt of im not gunna hide :P why not if you have worked hard for it ocasionly you have the right to show it of

As much as I myself like to be as muscular as possible I also agree to each their own. I don't see anything wrong with finding a particular body type unattractive and just saying it as so. On men, I like them muscular and large. Although I admire and appreciate those that stay super lean all year, I don't find it sexually appealing. I also find women that are super lean without muscle mass unattractive. I think curves look nice on men and women. I think Vin Diesel-Batista is the optimal male look and for women competitors such as Tara Scotti or as big as Gina Davis. But I don't expect others to like this type of body level. I get a huge amount of mixed signals from men and women. Many men think I am too big or muscular. But they still respect and admire my dedication. I think people like Ronnie Coleman are great Bodybuilders but I woulnd't want to date him...

I don't find this true. I agree it takes great dedication and knowledge to get massive yes but I think it requires much more dedication and will power for many to get truelly cut. Now there are always the oddballs that can maintain 6-8%bf year round or add on mass without breaking a sweat but for that every day joe shmo with a normal body structure I feel sliming down to be awsomely cut is much more difficult then gaining mass. But maybe thats because I'm a true endo and my mind is biased....maybe if I were more of an ecto and had problems adding mass but was cut year round I may have a different mind set.

I'd have to agree with the above, me personally a "shredded" girl makes me a little ill, I don't know maybe cause it just looks so unhealthy even though its not they just look sick, litterally. Tone on the other hand I like, like my wife toned abs, tight legs and butt but overall smooth contoured look with the only real deffinition of muscle being in her abs, now to me thats perfect. She's in shap, tight, could bounce a quarter off her ass!! hehehe but doesn't look like she just escaped a concentration camp.
