Huge muscles a turn on or turn off?

[Musclesaremything]

Huge Muscles are a turn on all day. Give me Ronnie Coleman, Jay Cutler, Phil Heath, Kevin Levrone and all the sexy greats who have graced the Mr. Olympia stage.

So what have we learned from the OP's query and the subsequent responses? We've learned that nearly 67% of the responses are from dudes in a section entitled, "Women's Issues." We've learned that those men certainly like huge muscles. We've learned that the approximate 20% of the responses, which are from women, unanimously and emphatically answer the query in the negative; i.e., huge muscles, like the ones in the OP's photo, are a "huge turn-off." We've learned that the male respondents could care less if it is, in fact, a huge turn-off to the female respondents. We've learned that the balance of the responses -- about 13% -- come from people not wanting to identify their gender but from which one would surmise have a strong male bias based on the notable disparity of male and female responses to the query.

Agreed... I and most women I know prefer athletic over 'bodybuilder' bodies. Huge muscles are a huge turn-off.

It appears the women responding to a question posted in the "Women's Issues" forum has been addressed by the target audience; i.e., women. The only remaining rhetorical question of curiosity is why three times as many men as women posted their opinions which were, by implication, not among the target.

15 years ago, when this particular post first appeared there were a few more women then there are today....well, on here anyway. Now we are in the age of the Identifiable's well over a decade later. The males who are posting may identify as women....................

Maybe that can be a new Marvel comic....The Identifiable's. Humans, always inventing new ways to save the world, usually from each other.

Maybe so and, if so, then things get even more complicated because those "males" possibly identifying as females identified themselves as males in their profiles. I need an Identifiable to save me from my head exploding from confusion. My only shred of clarity is that men like "huge" muscles, men will crowd out women giving their opinion even when the male opinion is not relevant, and women don't like "huge" muscles.

No, athletic for me. The human body has evolutionary limits that will never or ever be improved at this point in time. Ankles, wrists, knees, shoulders.

Joints, joints will always limit how much you carry and lift. Muscles are a support for your bone structure. Your bone structure which cannot be built up, is a support for structure for your muscle, organs, skin, and fluid. Like a crane, limits are reached both hydraulically, weight and use, failure will occur if limits are continually exceeded..

My brother has competed for years in body building, since he was young, now 62....it's a slave trade, a trade off for your body. Like myself...Stonemason, Bricklayer, Builder for most of my life, I have exceeded my limits many times, wish I hadn't... Part of the Young and Dumb learning curve...No matter how many times the oldies before me told me so..Arnold would never tell you how many pain killers he is on....it would destroy his image, same with Sly. I'm 66, I ache But so far the will outweighs the pain

The human body is not meant to exceed it's supporting structural requirements for extended lengths of time, capacities. Simple a s that.

Arnold by and large, so to speak, started out as the quintessential example of what was perceived as huge muscles in the 70's and partially in the 80's, even after his transition to films, but by today's standards, he's really not that big.
I mean you see those bloated sides of beef muscles propagating what true musculature is nowadays, and it makes me sad that the oak can't do anything at the gym beyond arm work due to arising medical conditions.

 

[MASSIVEPKGO_CHUCK]

You should see his own illegitimate son, Joseph, taking after him like a shot;

Same damn poses, same musculature.
True example of like father, like son.

 

[sexysecretsofdaisy]

When the guy is too muscular it’s more likely I will get scared instead of excited. But when I see a cute guy in a good shape, nothing exaggerated (except the cock - I like it big), I got turned on.

 

[neutrno]

Natural muscles are beautiful. Steroids muscles are ugly as ugly shit.

 

[royal_madnessty]

Turn off for me personally. Gym guys just don't do it for me.

I prefer a dad body. Guy i'm with now is perfect to me, dad body, tall, beautiful manly face and headshape lol.

 

[Holly Doors]

I like a man to be muscular and powerful but I don't particularly like the ripped look, I prefer a muscular solid man with some meat on his bones.

 

[rspetite]

I agree with many others like man to be cut but not way over the top muscular.

 

[HorseHung40's]

Women have confessed to me in my younger years that the only big muscle they like, is the one between a man's legs.

Mind you, these women were all size queens.

 

[deleted24521041]

Hmm....this thread has me wondering if most women would consider me too muscular; a little over 6', 220 lbs. (Lord knows I couldn't get laid in a women's prison with a handful of pardons but that's probably because I'm ugly, lol). I don't feel like I'm built like a bodybuilder though.....I look more like a gymnast (and was asked if I was quite a bit when younger).

OK I'm stealing that one. "I couldn't get laid in a woman's prison with a handful of pardons." Thanks

Can’t see the original photo anymore but give me all the muscles.

 

[mariobkei]

Total turn on, in both man and women.
The bigger, the better, don't care if is a roided man or not, or a virilized woman with a wide and strong jaw.
Massive, lean, low bodyfat, vascular, the complete package.

It's very very hard for a man to be too muscular for me. Only the most extreme bodybuilders ever reach that point. For most men they just get hotter and hotter the bigger the muscles are. I'm not exclusively attracted to muscle men, in real life I have slept with more thin guys
