I fell upon this guy via another DC thread asking if he statements were correct or if other men could identify with his thoughts on how DC sucks for dating and how people their are boring. Many will have negative comments and run him off as a nut job. But how many people take the time to travel the world, get booked on tv shows to explore human interraction and how we socialize?

In this clip roosh gives his views on if muscles matter. Having lived in 7 countrie to include eastern europes like him, I thoroughly enjoyed his analysis and he make some good correlations.

But- if you haven't lived in various countries, are not analytical or of the inquiring mind by nature and this topic doesn't interest you, then your negative comments will hold no water as you have to experience or personal assessments to go off.. it has 21k views since last august so apparently it does peak the interest of people.

Its up for debate and discussion.

Good entertainment, but the narrator's ethnic analysis is exactly backwards. In Eastern Europe, women appreciate a bulky (muscular) man. It's regarded as literally and figuratively a testament of masculine strength. In the US, bulk muscle is very much of secondary importance, and can even backfire, as it might imply a fellow who's excessively egotistical or fanatical about the gym. In Russia, a nerd who bulks-up is no longer a nerd. In America, a nerd who bulks-up is a nerd with muscles.

lol.

It's like the guy in the video read some of the posts I've made on here in the past and made a video about it and related it to what he's experienced.

If you are 2 standard deviations in the US in terms of muscle, you will get some attention. But when you get to 3 standard deviations, you get literally flooded with females throwing themselves at you.

Eh. I've never been into muscular men and six packs are a turn off for me.

I do know plenty of women who are into super muscular guys but I've never really understood it. It would be like cuddling with a rock and that sounds unappealing to me.

I think maybe some of such women think something else will be like a rock as well.

Hmmm...

A lot of the women I know claim that the extremely big "jacked" guys are rather disgusting. I have good enough luck with women being the size of the guy in the video (I might be even smaller) I have very little definition as well. (barely a six pack)

Okay, women are not purely sexually attracted to me. There are other reasons that they like me, besides sexual. But, at least I can move and run circles around the posers in those magazines.

It matters to me. I like a rock hard body. Six pack to me means great strength, dedication, low body fat, healthier life style and choice (this is debatable) But I don't like body builders type, I prefer a swimmer's body. Nothing is sexier than a man with a solid six pack.

Obviously different people have different taste. To me and my female friends, muscle + six pack Lean, long swimmer's body is ideal.

Being really bulky is useless IMO not to mention the fact that it decreases a mans speed and agility when playing sports. I'd rather be 180lbs and ripped then 230lbs with gobs of bulky muscle. Also, most women I know put a higher importance on eyes and smile than on physique.
