I Think It Depends On The Individual
@backbreaker: I think it all depends on the individual. I don't think it's very accurate to perceive a similarity in for instance a dignified, responsible and classy male who happens to be muscular and into working out, and a woman who makes a living dancing around nude or semi-nude in clubs. I don't exactly see it as the same kind of scenario in the event that the muscular guy doesn't engage in the same sort of behavior as female strippers. Unfortunately, we all live in a world where people judge us on the basis of how we look and react toward us on that basis. It's on that basis that some would say a person looks shy, confident, strong, weak, elegant/dignified. threatening, seems standoffish, arrogant, seems friendly/approachable, etc.
And just as other posters have pointed out, while muscles may get most men noticed, in the end it all comes down to the individual's level of confidence and inner game. The muscles could help land a guy a first date but if during the date he acts as if he's not confident, can't hold an interesting conversation, is nervous and stiff, you can bet he won't get a second date and she may actually come up with an excuse to leave if at the very least she felt like being polite. There are some muscular guys out there who don't get much of any dates and who have hard time for instance cold approaching a woman no matter the environment.
The woman I've currently been dating since last month could serve as an example to my point of view. What attracted me to her was strictly physical: her wide hips and big ass (she's very apple-shaped). But in the course of getting to know her I've found out she's very intelligent, outgoing/dynamic, has a Master's degree and intends to go for a PhD. It also may be possible that not every single stripper within those clubs is an empty head. In as much as I don't agree or support their lifestyles, it's possible some of them may have resorted to that because they felt they had no choice. Some of them may have needed to further their education and don't have financial support to do so and are engaging in such activity out of desperation, etc.
