I will never think that they are "good looking" or get off over such a thing. By how some of these posters are posting they would seem gay. Which if they are that is fine.....it doesn't seem like it though and I wonder why a straght male would go crazy over another muscular man.

B. You can evaluate, but if your straight it isn't normal to be going crazy over another guy. That is just weird.

C. I can notice a guys looks from my come computer or on the streets. I don't need to be posting pictures of muscular men asking "why other men don't find this good looking".

It doesn't take a liberal to wonder why a straight male is acting in these ways. Maybe they are gay and still in the closet....I get that. I won't judge you, but no need to lie on the internet if you find muscular men attractive.
Are you a guy or a girl?

A straight man can compliment another man (if you're implying something against that fact). A man comfortable around another man, even complimenting him, is the most secure type of a man out there. Look out for those men who avoid hugs and such from another men - they're the ones who are insecure of their sexuality and could probably be gay. Let's not be too naive here.

Straight girls admire each other, even kiss on the lips - they're not lesbians to you now? Please don't pull those double standards ('men can't touch each other, woman can'). I personally find it sexist and homophobic.

As a gay man, I'm not into bodybuilders. I do agree that gay men seem to be obsessed with big muscles and massiveness (their porn is filled with those). Sure, a guy with muscles is not a turn off, but I don't really care about his body just as long as he is, facially speaking, attractive. And speaking of those massively huge bodybuilders - just gross.

And to answer this thread, there are some girls who favour a muscly man, even to the point where he is huge. It's a growing trend in my area with the teenage girls (big arms, beard, wide chest, etc). I'm guessing they want to appear 'small', because to them a slim build guy makes them 'fat' (most of them hate their weight and want to be skinny).

I find the body builder body really hot and sexy! Just not that dark tanorexic complexion. I like a little outdoorsy athletic tan on my men, but not to that extreme.

Different women like different things.

Men that do some weightlifting are attractive...not hard core Arnold types though. Getting to be 5'9 and 220 would be another type though rather than straight bodybuilder though.

Exactly the bolded part. But, you should have said it like this (so that "they" get it):

Different.
Women.
Like.
Different.
Things.

I'm btw 5'9 (175cm) and weight 200 lbs (90kg).. Its of course result of mostly working out everyweek. I plan to reach 220 lbs and then cut a bit.

I wonder if women like that kind of looks.

No. I think men with a body building physique look like big old horses--think big linebackers for football teams, with the wide muscly, bulging necks...uh no thank you!

Sorry just being honest

And men like Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp, aren't what I would and most women consider lanky...maybe Bloom but he's gorgeous so who cares haha

But in all honesty, if you have a great personality and there's chemistry there, I don't think a woman's going to hold your physique against you. And some may even be attracted to your body builder's built. It's all going to really depend on the woman, I've been attracted to all sorts of men, some of them fell into the physical department that I would of never thought I'd find attractive and other's who I thought would be my type physically, never were able to attract me. Just choose what you think looks good, it'll work out in your favor because you'll feel good about you and have a nice silent confidence about yourself, that'll help attract people to you.

I think it's the opposite. A lot of women will assume steroid use, which is notorious for shriveling up the former endowment.

I really dislike the body builder type of body on a man.

Looks so artificial. If by nature I'm supposed to be attracted by "strength", a guy with super ripped up abs and fat arms that make him look like a glazed turkey in a supermarket stand is supposed to make me drop the my feet and beg for him? Not gonna happen. In fact, ripped abs and fat bulky muscles make me want to vommit.

What I like in a man is intelligence, dignity, genuineness, kindness, honesty, Respect. A guy so focused on his looks makes my eyes crack.

Not really the body builder type, but I do like some muscle and strength. Wide shoulders, narrow waist and hips. YUM I admire men who take care of their bodies, but not over do it.

I find this a little insulting as a man who is into bodybuilding. Everyone thinks we are bunch of narcissists looking in the mirror but we are actually looking for flaws in our body to improve. Bodybuilding is hard work and all we are trying to do is improve our body and be the best that we can be...

You get addicted to it because of all happy juice running through our brains when we exercise.
