It is the ratio between the waist and the widest point of the shoulders that is attractive. Which is contradictory to maximal strength.
A lot of males who are very cut are actually not in peak athletic condition. I used to train for "looks" and had a 31 inch waist, thick back, excellent V-shape. I started training for athletic performance and strength, after years of squatting, deadlifting, doing weighted oblique exercises, etc. my abdominal muscles and obliques bulked up and now I have a 35 inch waist but it is all muscle.
I've been told that it doesn't look as good as the body shape I had before, but when it comes down to the wire I have more strength, power, and speed. Models and bodybuilders will intentionally not bulk up their lower backs, abs, and obliques to avoid the shape I have gotten. I still have a wider back and shoulders than my bulked up core, but the difference is no longer as notable.
Is it really that attractive? I never hear about women liking rectangular shaped male bodies, whilst different men like a wide variety of bodyshapes on women.
Kid, you worry about stuff too much. This is such a minor detail. Fuggedaboutit. Don't worry, be happy.
I dunno, but the v-shaped back is what everyone talks about. Not other shapes.
Everyone? I don't believe I've had a conversation with my girlfriends about 'v-shaped mens backs'. I did have a conversation about something similar with the dude I'm seeing, because he's working on bulking up and getting a six pack/v shape while he knows I'm into chubby dudes. He's the one who brought it up though, not me...I'd like him either way.
I think more women like the v shape front (abs) more than the v shape back.
The Adonis belt? Isn't that part connected to the male genitals?
