Which muscles turn girls on the most?

[Jariel]

Saying "if you lift for women you're lifting for the wrong reasons" is a load of sh!t. If you don't want to admit it because you feel it makes you seem shallow or less manly, whatever. But in surveys time and time again it has been proven that the PRIMARY REASON why people work out is to look better for the opposite sex.

I admit it, that's always been my primary reason. My second reason has been to gain respect and admiration from other people. I also admit, my aim has always been to get an underwear model physique, not a bodybuilder's physique.

I have sh1tloads of respect for bodybuilders, powerlifters and guys who do it for sport, but that's just not an appealing incentive for me.

I lift weights because I have no personality to speak of, and know that any success I have in this world will be based almost entirely on my physical appearance. Im intelligent and witty, but in a stilted and formal (nerdy) way. People rarely laugh at my jokes, though I find them hilarious. I dont make small talk or socialize naturally, and usually come across a caveman due to my overly deep, monotonous and incoherent speech. I rarely have anything interesting to contribute to group discussions. I have little pride or work ethic (not to say im lazy or have low self esteem), am not passionate about anything, and think most conversations I could engage in are pointless, and most arguments futile. People much smarter than me have been debating the same issues since the beginning of time and never reached a conclusion, as there is no definitive conclusion. Seemingly everyone is convinced they will find 'the answer', or see God, or are destined for great things, though statistics are heavily favoured against you, as in several hundred thousand (or more) to 1. Psychology studies have proven many times that most 'normal' people are thoroughly irrational and deluded.* Enter the theory of depressive realism.

People like me fare poorly in social situations, and often end up in a mental hospital, jail, broke, or dead from self-inflicted injuries. Ive come to the conclusion that becoming a hunk is the best way to avoid this fate.

Im now 170lbs from a scrawny 140, hopefully at 200lbs I can be my boring, bleak self and *gasp* maybe even get a girlfriend based solely on my physical appearance.

Anyway im rambling, sorry to damper everyone's spirits.

* example: people were surveyed anonymously to rate their physical attractiveness. Roughly 95% thought they were average or above average looking. Consider how many guys on this forum post about their good looks.

You're the type of person I would swerve to hit with my car.

It takes years of work and some roids for chicks to get huge. Either that or manly genetics. Generally speaking, women become toned "fitness model" looking girls when they lift.

exactly. even when they lift hard and heavy.

 

[Skilla_Staz]

Exactly. I know girls who could have sexy bodies if they lifted, but they're afraid of getting "manly"...Sad. Not enough testosterone in their body as far as I know...

 

[Charm]

Skilla,

If they start too young though it could definetely hurt them. Women imo should be careful not to do heavy lifting until at least 18.

 

[Charm]

Underwear model physique is definetely around the ideal look that women are told is HOT in their magazines. ENORMOUS bodybuilder is usually too intimidating to many women, but it takes many years to hit that point so just slow things down unless your competing in bodybuilding.

I admit it, that's always been my primary reason. My second reason has been to gain respect and admiration from other people. I also admit, my aim has always been to get an underwear model physique, not a bodybuilder's physique.

yes, but training under any sort of pressure "because I need to be buff to get girls" or under any sort of "must do this" mentality means that training will become a chore, you will have anxiety and push for new weights far too often, losing reps instead of consollidating strength and hence chances of injury increase.

You'll become frustrated if you don't progress linearly (which you won't) which may lead to burnout if you try to make up the lack of strength increase with volume and may or may not lead to an inferiority complex just 'cause your squat has been stuck at 350 for two whole weeks (and you ignore that it's come up from 200 in the past six months)..

You should train because you love training and enjoy it, not because you feel you must. Adopting this mentality and forgetting the outside world and the apparent obligation to be huge and ripped to have girlfriends (which is purely a media/social 'requirement' - if women were only attracted to impossibly perfect male specimens then the human race would've died out long ago).. once you've adopted this easier mentality, you will gain better than ever.

Yah. For a while, it was for the ladies. My strength developed slowly. Now I do it to get an edge in bjj competition, and my strength has gone through the roof since then.

LOL...

After having sat through many live bodybuilding competitions I sometimes think certain women would have been better off never heavy lifting at all but thats based merely on their MANLYness

 

[spesmilitis]

Yup. Personally, every girl who I put on my 'most hottest' list is athletic; girls who took sports seriosly in highschool, and still continue to train. The have the best tone, skin complexion, asses, and legs, proportions, ect. Their personalities are awesome too, probably from the sports they do (teamwork, competition, drive, ect.). Anyone else feel the same way?

Those girls train like 2x a day and probably eat like 10 meals a day, all protien. Their probably taking roids too.

How many athletic girls you met like that in real life.

Try this, every time you go to the gym, try to scan the weight room for any girls. When you find one, check her out.

Every girl who i've ever seen doing squats seriously at the gym was way hot.

1) you have a crappy attitude and outlook on yourself, change it now.

2) people will laugh more at your jokes when you get bigger and have more confidence, a deeper voice (which is affected by testosterone levels), and a better body ... maybe not because it's funny but because you look good or they don't want to get beat up. I find myself saying some really dumb sh!t pretty often and people are dying laughing. I don't even find it funny.

edit - yea girls aren't gonna get manly without juice. I wish more would realize this and start squatting. I'd have more asses to stare at

 

[Doggystyle]

The reason i started oringinally was to be able to kick ass when need be, mainly to act like a deterent as i don't really like fighting and people are less likely to start fights on a bigger dude. Also don't want to get my pretty face mashed in! ha ha

But now its mainly for aesthetic purposes, not as many fights happen around these days (thats for me personally by the way, not a general statement)

Not many fights happen cause people know not to f*** with a big dude

Also to whoever said too big isn't attractive, you're right, but you won't get to that stage ever unless you start juicing. So lift heavy and get big!

Where on earth did you get that? Charm, not to be rude, but can you really put an age on lifting? You're saying that anything before 18 can be detremintal to their womanliness? Please...

The only way a woman will become manly is:

Incredible muscle building genetics. In this case, she's probably already manly.
Steroids.
Lifting hardcore for YEARS with amazing diet.
Combination of all of the above.


Hate to break if to you, but most women don't become manly if they lift before 18. I know plenty of highschool girls who squat, bench, workout etc and look sexy as f*ck because they have a nice, tight body.

 

[Skilla_Staz]

Amen brother. Women need to find deadlifts (all variations), squats and such, and start doing them.

Nothing gets me goin more than a pair of sexy legs and a firm handful (if not more) of ass. Oh lord.

I guess you knew different women they I did. I saw a lot of women in HS get injuries in the weight room from heavy lifting to try and keep up with their male counterparts who had no idea about the limitations of a females body age 14-18. So to answer your question, I am basing that observation on my experience and note that I said heavy lifting. My concerns are injuries, not body tone and physique.

plenty of women I know think the underwear model body is too skinny or even sick.

as for enormous bodybuilder physiques, I can't believe the naivety of some people.. it's like you all think you'll wake up one morning huge, or get massive by accident. trust me, it doesn't work that way.

Well thats the problem. Instead of doing what they can handle, they let their egos get in the way.

A kid I know, who lifts with me. If he tried putting up the numbers I do, in order to keep up with me, he would get injured as well. It's not that the lifting is hurting them, its that THEY are hurting themselves by attempting to do too much. Whether you're a guy or girl, lifting more than you can handle is going to hinder you rather than help you
