When you see an[mod cut] ugly guy working out obsessively, is the first word that comes to your head "compensating"??? I'm just wondering because I workout a lot and not because I'm trying to compensate (because I realize it's impossible to). I'm afraid that maybe this causes women to view me as an insecure, compensating guy, making me more unattractive overall.

Reason: DM me if you require clarification.
No. I do think that people who do anything obsessively should strive for more balance in their lives, though. Gym rats have a stigma for being vain.
Totally agree with this. I think most people are attracted to healthy, in shape bodies, but when someone gets overly "developed" less people find it attractive.

Agree with both of these.
I'll add that I've never been attracted to body builder types - and it wouldn't really make a difference to me what his face looked like. I'm not saying I would never have dated a body builder if we had been compatible but I never gravitated towards people who obsessively worked out like that.
I think that some people might view that as such. IDK.... I think as others have said, if you work out too much and are really yoked out it can come off as vain.
I know I saw some short dude at the store a few days ago and he was just too buff, it looked kind of silly, not to be harsh.
At the end of the day a good build is a good thing and like all things it should be fairly well balanced out with an overall healthy lifestyle.

You're thinking like a guy. Women don't think like that. Generally, they don't even pay much attention to the guys working out. It's not like they're there judging everyone. They're there to work out, and maybe in some cases to socialize. Nobody cares what the guys' motives are for working out. Chill. Most women don't like overly-developed male physiques, anyway.
No. Great bodies are always a beautiful thing. Being too buff looks like overkill to me no matter what the guys face looks like. I start to think he's probably super vain, which is a turnoff.
