Girls have it easier!

[Brutus_G]

I do find very lean women unattractive and any girl that can kick my ass probably less so. I think some girls just go to much, i mean any girl with a big lat spread or chest as good or better than mine scares me.....

Here's a gal who is probably about 25% BF:

It's pretty clear that that the gal is already at a "hot" status according to general social perceptions.

I agree wholeheartedly!

I do think that in North American and perhaps European (I wouldn't know)culture, a girl of that physique is more preferable than one that is muscular and lean. I know my friends think that. I know my friends' friends think that too. While this may not be the entire population or even representative of what females think, it defiinitely speaks true for the majority of males.

I guess it's just not me and my friends then

Men on the other hand, for men to be considered sexy from a purely physical standpoint, they need to have a good level of muscle mass.

not quite true-
Leonardo dicapprio(sp) - skinny
Harrison Ford - in his 50's - 60's...average size
George Clooney - average size
Sean Connery...- in his 80's..and considered world's sexiest man by tabloid mags.
and of course...
Brad Pitt. - ripped, but not big.

..and I think I may have dropped a few man points for knowing that much info...but maybe Wolfie will see this as my sensitive side and award my points back..

I knew I would get called on that... that's why I put in "purely from a physical standpoint"

All these men are okay looking. They are all considered hot largely because of their fame, money, style... Somehow, these things seem to make men a lot hotter in women's eyes than they really are. Take that all away from them and they would all just be average Joe's

+1 to that. If you blurred out their faces and names, they would be considered in the average range according to general perceptions of male physical attractiveness. In order for men to crack into the "stud" category, they need to get near at least the Chippendale's type physique -- bulked up AND cut.

But, there is a point here. It's easier for men to be conisdered "hot" due to factors extrinsic to physical looks. So again, men have it easier in this regard. But we're not talking about that in this thread.
