I agree. I would see so many men on dating sites who were obese but list themselves as average or athletic. I've met men who think they are better looking. Oh sure there are women who do this but not like the men I have met.

I don't think you're necessarily wrong except I think you underestimate how muscle mass on a man can be viewed as sexually attractive to women. Maybe not so huge as to look like a professional bodybuilder but that have some visible significant muscle mass, combined with definition of course. That could be a male swimmer's body or someone LL Cool J's size.
This thread just got a lot sexier with those pics.

Its easy to think that until you get there. Im 5'10, 205lbs, 32" waist, 18" arms, 26" quads.

I used to think I would be huge when I made it to 200lbs and about 10% BF. I started around 168lbs.

Now I made it there and I'm 205-210. Now I feel like I need to be 225-230 before I am content. Im a so so looking guy but in an amazing shape.

Maybe I'm really not as big as people say or how I feel based on my measurements.

That being said, this is me looking in the mirror most days.

Men and women are equally delusional. Anyone who gets out from behind their computer long enough and mingles in the real world with real people would see that. Unless of course you're just completely biased and narrow minded, in which case it doesn't matter because you probably won't be getting very many dates anyway.

I'm pretty convinced that people do this for themselves, not for others.

Also, would you be so kind to give me your opinion on the pictures in this thread, please?

Just because most men want to date an attractive women doesnt mean they think overly highly of themselves looks wise it just means we like good looking women

Also most couples are evenly matched..this idea some women here get that its tons of ugly or average guys with hot women while average or unattractive women are all ignored is bs..

Maybe its because women find so little % of men actually good looking that unless the guy in a relaitonship is a 10 and the women ugly theyll think the women is the better looking one in the relationship..
