Working out.

[Doranq]

Have you ever found a guy who you were in a relationship to be less physically attractive because he worked out?

I ask because it's obvious women have different preferences. Some like skinny, fat, muscular, hulk, small framed, big framed, average, etc.

Guys ask a lot about working out boosting attraction or if they didn't work out then would their SOs see them as less attractive. I'm wondering has the opposite happened for any of you?

Say you prefer like a more skinny or fat body. Your SO decides he wants to hit the gym and gets a reasonably fit body. I don't mean like a roid freak, just moderately muscular
maybe something along the lines of

Give or take some areas may be more or less defined as others. Like I said, nothing too crazy.

So he gets that body and you find yourself to be not as physically attracted to him. Has it ever happened?

Random thought. I realize her opinion should never stop you from working out to get healthy. It's not her life so she can piss off. It's simply a question out of pure curiosity.

The body that you show in that picture is about as fit/muscular/defined as I would want a partner to be, in an ideal world. I've dated people with very slender/skinny body types, overweight/chunky/chubby/whatever body types too. I'm flexible on body types. It's just when people start hitting the shredded/veins popped out everywhere and so on that I legitimately find it unappealing. As long as people are to some varying degrees of healthy, fast metabolisms, not able to gain weight and very skinny/somewhat underweight or a bit on the chubby side, I can find them attractive. It just depends on the person for me.

I think those sentences ramble horribly, so hopefully they're still mostly comprehensible.

yeah, any bigger in the photo is too big.
i like muscle with a pinchable later of pudge over it.

I like a tall, slender man. A little muscle is good. I like a little pectoral muscle and a flat tummy.

Adrian Brody has the perfect body in my opinion.

I'm with TG on this one. While I used to admire the top photo of the buff bod, I've really come to admire my husband's physique which is almost exactly like Brody's. Just a bit shorter though.

Hopefully this link works. I didn't want to paste a picture of the guy here because I don't know him, and I don't think he is famous or a public figure, and this is essentially a porn site. But I like this guy's body.

See how he looks really strong, but also cuddly? Yum.

so hypothetically. If he were to work out and shed that weight. Would you lose some physical attraction for him because he no longer has your ideal body?

I'm not sure if I made my question clear. Based on the previous answers, I guess it was probably written very poorly.

I am glad there is someone for everyone.

for you. lol.

Well, I meant all body types have their fans.

Mind you, I'm only talking about the guy at the very top; not all of those bodies are in my ideal shape.

Possibly I would lose some attraction. It depends. I'm not attracted to skinny guys. That Adrian Brody picture is doing nothing for me. My father was built like that. I like a big thick body. Leanness is attractive to a certain extreme, and then fatness is attractive to a certain extreme, to me. The man in your OP is very attractive to me too, but I've never been with a man shaped like him who felt like home when I slept in his arms.

A very lean body like this one looks good to me.

See how his waist doesn't taper much? See how thick his thighs and torso are? See how his belly is flat, but the distance around his waist still looks big? And check out his tits. I'm attracted to big bodies. Thick. Solid. And no skipping leg day.

ETA: Why does it still read "pudgy guys"? These are not the same dudes.

 

[AlteredEgo]

And THIS equals nope. Right body type, but definitely needs a sandwich immediately. And a whole cake. And all the beer.

If he (Mr.hypothetical man) was going to change his body size(in your case, he loses weight). Would you be supportive, non-supportive, anti-supportive? Again keeping in mind that he already has what you consider an Ideal body.
Would it be grounds to break up because he'll never return to the body that first attracted you?

Luckily my husband transitioned into liking thicker women as I got thicker over time. He's put on about 15lbs in a short period of time by drinking protein shakes. His build is not such that he would gain an enormous amount of weight, his thyroid levels are often high too. He has to eat like crazy to even stay the same weight day after day.

His new little tiny pooch over his 31 waist pants is novel to me. I've never been able to pinch any fat on him until now. If he kept going in that direction I would express my feelings about how much I liked his prior physique but in a nice way. But his genetics and frame won't allow for him to get the same kind of body that AE likes so much. So I don't have to worry about him becoming the proportions I am not generally attracted to. If it was beyond his control to put on a lot of weight due to health reasons (such as I have) I would not let it bother me. But I'd be all for him going to the gym and getting more definition. I just don't like the bouncer body.

And if the guy that AE is attracted to got thinner, he'd still maintain his frame proportions. That guy could never look like my lanky husband even if he weighed the same. So she doesn't have to worry about her thicker man ending up as skinny looking as my guy.

My guy has gone through phases of being more/less 'cut' over the years. When he was 18 he was ripped from years of military school.. after a couple months partying he put on a little chunk over the muscles... then he went to the Army when he was 21 and lost the extra weight again, came back and now after a few years just being his regular, non military self he's back to the muscular body with the comfy layer of healthy flesh.

I couldn't say I was ever more or less attracted to him over all this time. I think he could develop a full on beer belly and my brain would just be like "he's so sexy with that big pot.." (haha... pulp fiction)
