If they are, then they're lucky, many women like that. if they aren't, but still get women, then apparently not all woman care, and they just need to avoid the ones who do and leave those to the men who fit the description/desire.

Like if a guy likes a woman who is very sexual and been around the block. That's fine, it's his taste. So the conservative demure, or possibly virgin, women need to leave them b, and let them enjoy what they want. Hating on them for their taste doesn't help anything.

Seems like some guys tend to be the most defensive on these topics.

It is going to be a bit frustrating because you have people telling you it's all about personality, but reality somewhat conflicts with that. Sports are already about power and strength, now even golf is like that, so it's hard to have a positive outlook if you're not strongly built.

Attraction is not all about personality, so forget about that. Still, not every woman has or wants a big, muscular guy so I don't see what the issue is. I don't have a problem with smaller men but they're still stronger than I am.

But if you believe this perception about power and strength to be true (which can easily be debated) why not respond to it by improving yourself to make yourself more competitive? In other words, why not stop decrying your perceived reality and hit the gym?

It's not all about personality women as just as much into looks if not more then men

Right. Women have eyes too, but we're not all attracted to the same things. I've had a crush on Alex Band for years and he's about as puny as they come (sorry, Alex!)

It's more about face then physique unless you're talking extremes

Overall I wouldn't say women's tastes are anywhere near as diverse ax men's..In my social circles all the women were physically attracted to basically the same good looking guy where the men's tastes were all over the place

So, to sum up, even though most men are innately stronger than most women, it's horrible for women to prefer someone stronger than them - but they do because they are shallow, care about looks more than men, and are just overall bad people.

My best friend is highly attracted to white blond men with blue eyes, very pretty men. I, on the other hand, have always preferred darker with less classically handsome features. My boyfriend is very good looking and initially, I wasn't very into him.

I've got friends of different races and all of us find different men, body types, and facial features attractive. What's hot to me DEFINITELY doesn't do it for my tiny Fillipina friend or my blond friend or my mixed friend from NOLA.

As far as strength, I'm almost 5'11. I would prefer a man who at least my height and is somewhat muscled. I don't need a bodybuilder but I like strong arms and shoulders.
