I personally don't think that ripped looks good. Reminds me of a roach or other insect. I do like a chunky fat + muscle look.

Working out can also be fun and it's a legal way to get high. I always get a buzz that resembles an opium high when I work out hard. I don't care about body fat.

Seriously though, I think he looks great the way he is... plus I can't imagine him being very pleasant company if he tried to diet like he was cutting

I hadn't noticed...I mean I can visualize what you're saying and I've definitely seen a few guys like that, but I hadn't noticed a trend.

Several pages of answers and nothing remotely spot on.


What the OP is likely seeing are guys who are juiced up (steroids/hormones) and have "roid gut". https://www.google.com/search?q=roid...HfAyASsQsAQIGw


That and or they are just naturally big guys who are "fit fat". That is they won't do what is necessary to get cut-up and lose body fat. Some peeps just love carbs too much for giving them up.

Beauty absolutely is in the eye of the beholder. I am pretty fit myself, but I like women you would describe as fat. That's what I prefer, it's beautiful to me. Perhaps there are not as many guys with my preferences are there are guys who prefer a more mainstream ideal for beauty, but that doesn't render the "eye of the beholder" argument untrue.

In other news, I'd love to be a fly on the wall when you call a guy like Eddie Hall fat! Now THAT would be some good entertainment!

I don't have too many pics of me without a shirt on, I'm not much of an exhibitionist or showoff. But here's one of me paddle boarding down at Outer Banks, NC last summer. Moments before my son pushed me off my board!

Thank you. Didn't even look but at least you will. All the 'definitions' are pointless. Be comfortable in our own skin. Change it if we don't like. Judging is ridiculous. (I'm 'cut'. Does that make me a better man? Heck no)
