  • Yet another useless study: women prefer men with big muscles



    you hear it here first. Usually the English do these useless studies, but this one is american.

    now tell me something I don't already know.

    The Metro (free newspaper in england) has a funny little section like this where it lists useless studies done with things usually along the lines of "Bad drivers crash more often then good ones".

    He said prior studies concluded a man's desirability was influenced more by his earning potential
    I think the first study is more true.
    Learn to overcome the crass demands of flesh and bone, for they warp the matrix through which we perceive the world. Extend your awareness outward, beyond the self of body, to embrace the self of group and the self of humanity. The goals of the group and the greater race are transcendant, and to embrace them is to acheive enlightenment.

        The article actually doesn't say what the title seems to imply:

        Women were more physically attracted to brawny men, especially for a fling. But when it comes to finding a long-term partner, they tend to pick a regular man over a mate with huge biceps.


        And this:

        He and colleagues interviewed 99 male undergraduates about their sexual histories. Muscular men were twice as likely to have had more than three sex partners than less-built types.


        sounds to me more like men who work out are more promiscuous, not like women are more attracted to them (except for a "fling" as my first quote said).

          Or that men who work out are more likely to make up sexual histories to cover for the latent homosexuality that drove them to hang out at the gym with sweaty guys all day.

            If they conclude from this that women are more attracted to muscular guys, then it's a shoddy research.
            There are many more possible explanations.
            Elok's for example, or that the causality goes the other way, that is guys who date more tend to want bigger muscles, etc etc..

                  This story is amazing. Next we may discover that, besides large muscles, women prefer men with large ***** as well.

                      Maybe the guys who have the most free time are single guys who also have the time to date. Plus maybe working out increase a guy's self confidence, so they approach more women, and get more dates.

                            I can confirm that study.

                            I usually get more woman than most other men.

                              You get stupid women; and there are lots of them.

                              Here in Singapore it is easy for me (a caucasian) to attract women, most of them are thinking of $$.


                              What's ironic about this world for me is that girls who think they're ugly don't want to be with guys they find good looking because they feel uncomfortable having a guy better looking than them; so they do everything to lose weight, get a tan, be sporty, etc, and sadly, the same girl who I would once be attracted to, am now completely unattracted to.

                              A bit frustrating, but no biggie, as I am not interested in a relationship, I like to be free.
                              be free
