Why have a 6-pack when you can have a brewery?

I’ve got one of those small pressure kegs you can buy in the supermarket. Thankfully it’s getting smaller.

Go to the gym but leave the 6 pack. Those with one look really hungry! Or that they're putting something other than food in them

Either or. Its all about the face really.

Can have an absolutely amazing figure, but if I don't find them facially appealing- body doesn't matter.

Lol touché, no assumptions made though, I train purely for myself as I like to keep fit but I wondered about the opinions surrounding physiques on a site like this and if it plays a major role in initial attraction, obviously it plays a role, just to what extent

Legs grow far faster than anything else, I just think most guys go bi and trunk because they know women love it

There and to the left a bit

The thing is we're all attracted to different things, whether it be six packs or Dad bods, hairy or shaven, big or small boobs, blonde, brunette or redhead etc or the many many other things that play a part in attraction - there is no one thing that wins the day in any subjective thing that comes down to personal taste.

So personally I stick to what I am comfortable with and able to realistically achieve for me - if people find that attractive then great, if they don't then equally great - there will be others that do.

I agree, although we live in a society currently which is very vocal about health and fitness and the optimal physical appearance, I wonder if actual real people support that theory or if the health and fitness industry exploit our wants and needs to look more appealing to the opposite sex (or the same sex) or if it is in fact irrelevant to the every day person

Body image is way too much of a focus in people's mind.

Some people love that gym look, other's don't. Some people want rock hard abs, other's want a cuddly belly. It's all about preference.

We all need to stop polling against each other and love our bodies, no matter what shape or size.

Health and fitness I can buy into - they go hand in hand and are important, or should be, for each and every one of us.

The obsession with optimal physical appearance is to an extent a by-product of that which I don't - so long as I am healthy and fit, I'll decide, for me, how I look best and feel most comfortable, not have it dictated to me by society.

Oh I don’t disagree, a connection is definitely more important but is the world as fickle as it is made out to be, say two people sent the exact same message and their pictures were that of a six pack and that of a dad bod, I’d be inclined to say the six pack would receive probably the more replies, yet from a lot of polls many now say the dad bod is more for them, I was just interested to hear opinions from people on here that are most likely to be replying to profiles with those exact pictures lol

Exactly.

For the most part it's about making money. If it really was ALL about health we'd be encouraged to grow our own produce, we wouldn't be working flat out to pay basic bills. But no, we're here to pay pay pay any and every way conceivable.

I was in no way suggesting women are shallow, you’ve taken that out of context, maybe my post was lost in translation, my point was with the exact same message but two different pictures then the reply would solely fall down to appearance, hence my initial question of are people more likely to go for a six pack or dad bod, more hypothetical than insinuating anybody is shallow

Remember when Zac Efron did that documentary and everyone said he had a dad bod despite that fact he was fucking jacked with a 4 pack still?

People’s ideas of what a dad bod is are very different.

I think I can say with some confidence that most woman what a guy that looks like he works out but also enjoys his food.

Big arms, slight belly or slight 6 pack doesn’t matter, just nothing to extreme either way, big legs, muscular back

They don’t want a slob

They equally don’t want a guy with veins everywhere that refuses to eat a carb

Perfect scenario? They want a hard working carpenter with big arms and legs that works hard all day then comes home for a few beers and a big tasty dinner. A worker type body

Or a rugby player build

"I think I quite like an in between bod thinking about it. I like big men, broad shoulders, strong arms, big chests . More rugby player type I supposed.

Fancy a scum?

I hate rugby and even I know it’s a scrum .

Isn’t it?"

I'll learn to read my typing - one day.

"Seen a lot of polls on this over recent years, is the dad bod the new 6 pack and are we all wasting our time going to the gym?? "

Wasting time? You really think 6 pack abs are the only reason people go to the gym? What if I told you that some of us have totally different objectives for going to the gym (that have minimum to do with aesthetics)...and the way our bodies look is just the byproduct of how we train and we eat?

To think that some of us are not obsessed with "perfect" bodies...mind blowing, right?

Health is more important OP. I wouldn’t worry about six packs. Do something active you enjoy.

Also, I think swingers prefer stamina

It was more rhetorical with a hint of sarcasm, I wasn’t attempting to dig anybody out, I know through experience how hard it is to have and maintain a six pack and over recent years I’ve relaxed a lot with my training, I still train and am physically fit for the job I have etc but I don’t watch my diet half as much as I did in my younger years, again wasn’t a post to dig anybody out or criticise training/diet regimes

Funny, but for wife, dad bods are fine on the male half of a couple as long as he has a great smile. However, the bar goes way up for the super rare single guy.

"I have a 6pack body and I like the look and yes, you have to diet harder than the last time to have one. I like the challenge

That’s what does it for me, the dieting lol too much of a foodie

I almost had proper 6 pack couple times over the years but it is a hassle for sure. As long as tummy is flat and looks reasonably toned I am happy with that on myself personally "

That is good and yes, sometimes to lose that last bit, would mean to keep the dieting going for few more months, but yes, it is hard to maintain it and one always have to make sure to stay within the calorie limit the person have.

I like to listen to greg doucette, he have alot info about it as well and yes I am a foodie as well lol, but I eat in controlled portions.

I eat out of a trough haha"

That is also good to do lol.

It’s all about facial attraction for me so what ever bod comes with it I’m happy

I like to admire a six pack but I'd rather snuggle up to something a bit softer.

I have to admit though that someone with the package of the nice face with the gym bod scare me a little.

I'm far from gym bod and I just would always question why they would go for me. I'd feel threatened lol

I don’t think you have any reason at all to feel threatened!

I'm attracted to strength (mind and body) therefore if I see a man who looks like he could compete in the world's strongest man, I'm instantly attracted as his physique speaks volumes for his strength of mind and self discipline. However, that's my initial 'would I wouldn't I' thought; regardless of body type, it's the conversation that follows which ultimately decides on how sexually attracted I am to them...or not

This was interesting I used to be a gym rat and lived it but now moved on to other hobbies and no longer eat like a monk , due to sporting the “dad bod” I have to say it will stop me from sometimes messaging some one I like the look of if they have been with guys who all look gym fit , I just assume I’m not there cuppa tea

"Go to the gym but leave the 6 pack. Those with one look really hungry! Or that they're putting something other than food in them "

That's a bit of a low blow

Something in the middle for me please I love strong/muscly arms, good looking hands and broad shoulders but still want to be able to cuddle so a solid hard 6pack would be too much…

I quite like a faded glory look. can see there was once muscle there, but now a hint of a pot belly.

I'm not sure your little arms would fit around me.
