But like someone else said first and foremost do what makes you feel good because if you feel good about yourself then that is what stands out and ultimately is attractive to women.
Very true.

But I think the veins and ripples are hot.

OP, maybe it would make sense if you ask your questions to the women your age range.

Because the answers you get here are from women 18-100, body type slim to ...

so of course an athletic woman has a different opinion than the 300 lbs woman.

Although I don't consider his physique a turn off, I tend to be attracted to guys who aren't as cut.

Not necessarily. Just because a woman weighs 300 lbs doesn't mean she doesn't have an attraction to athletic or lean/muscular guys.

Oh, come on! You don't know that just from the picture. It's a dedicated lifestyle to look like the guy in that picture. I know a few guys who look like that (and some females too) and they are not at all in love with themselves, just dedicated in their pursuit of excellance and perfection. It's admirable, I think.

But look at him from the neck up. He looks like a Jersey Shore-type douchebag.

That is way too much for me. I go for long and lean swimmer Micheal Phelps bodies.
Do what you want and do it because you like it not that some women might like it.

This...

The fact you would even post a thread like this just shows how insecure you are and are attempting to obtain a physique which you will never achieve because you are obviously doing it for the validation of others as opposed to gratification for yourself. Not to mention he is on a ton of steroids and that is a huge step to take if you don't already know what your getting yourself into.

I am FAR too muscular than what most women on this board prefer. It's been shown time after time after time. I could not care less. I don't build my physique for others, I do it for myself. I will say that most women seem to be attracted to it but according to this forum, most here wouldn't.

The worst part is you picked zyzz, the envy of every fitness noob, and the joke of everyone else.

That guy was on steroids and is actually dead. Not the best role model, but people cling to him because he went from out of shape loser to super ripped and got laid a few times.

OP, based on your profile picture, if you aren't already successful with the ladies then adding more bulk/getting more lean isn't going to help. Probably will hurt actually.

That guy might be, and if some of the things others here have said about him are true (I am not familiar with him) but it doesn't have to be true of everyone who pursues that level of fitness.

I also agree with those who have complimented OP. He's already reasonably good looking and appears to be pretty athletic. And if he is going to make any changes to himself, I hope he'll do it for himself and not others.
