Do you really want to look good naked?
I think I'm happier with a little extra meat and filling out my shirts. When I'm really cut, I look marginal in clothes.
Anyone else? |

I think clothes look better on my when I'm lower body fat. As well, I feel that lower body fat levels give the illusion of more size via the increased definition, particularly in my arms. It's all opinion. Do whatever floats your boat.

Wow this is a horrible question. Most people are not going to look worse in their clothes because they lift weights or cut some fat. This is just a wasted thread. Having some nice looking muscles make you look good naked or in clothes end of discussion. Go ask the ladies, dont ask us jocks lol.

depends on what "look" you are going for and if other peoples perception of you matters that much. in this day and age if you are anywhere close to 15% body fat you are almost a greek god, less than 10% body fat and you look like a total freak of nature...

I admire people who succesfully maintain 8-12 percent body fat. It's looks far better nude than the average joe

Of course it also depends on how fat you are!
If you got a gut, your going to say meaty looks better! I would bet most ladies would like to see nice hard abs once those clothes come off. As someone said, what ever floats your boat! If it makes you feel better about your gut, then go for it. The gut on men is one of the hardest areas to lose once it has gained a lot of sublevel fat. Personally, once my gut is gone, I'm going to wear those old split shirts that leave your stomach showing just so I can show the world my wash board abs. (I've got a ways to go so for now, I guess the meaty look is alright too!!) |

Depends on the season, During summer bb are usually cut and look good on the beach, but I look much smaller during summer due to the loss of weight. But during winter when im bulking I put on about 15-20 pounds and I look a lot bigger with a nice shirt on.................I like both, but If I could have 8-10% all the time I would love that, It is just to hard tho..

I think the real question is: when you're naked, do you look good enough to ask "honey, will you tailor this shirt for me?" and get a "yeah, whatever, now..." Maybe this guy's technique would help --> ![]() |

I can tell you this, I think a girl lifter with a little extra meat to smooth things out a bit, looks alot better than a ripped, vascular girl (in clothes or naked). Which body would you rather touch? |

At my advanced age it is important to look good naked . Since I am sure I will be spending more time in the doctors office /hospital to fix all my old age problems .
But seriuosly I agree with Prince. I am a seasonal kind of guy. |

The second comment was suggesting that the clothing industry is making it OK to have significant belly by calling it 'athletic'. I would guess that a 'regular cut' dress shirt would properly fit someone who was technically obese. Though, I guess that is a "regular" American these days. So if I was unclear or offended in any way. I'm gone for 10 days now, so I won't be able to respond after this. Mike |

Athletic cut is chest is 8 inches larger than waist. So if you are buying a suit, then a 40 jacket will have a 32 pant.
