Lean is better than bulky :

[Desaix DeBurgh]

I've been skinny, lean/toned, bulky/big-muscles, and fat and I always get the most attention from women when I am model lean/toned like I am now (I've been model lean/toned three times in my life and currently I am this way):



Why Guys Should Workout To Get Lean & Toned And Not Big

Stephanie M

A lot of guys used to want to look like a bodybuilder with the huge muscles, but is that really the best look for you in this day and age? There are many reasons that you may want to be working out to get lean VS big. Following are five of the most popular reasons.

You Get More Time

Your body has a much easier time getting lean than it does getting big. To get really, really big, you would have to put in a lot of intense work into your diet and workout routine, and possibly even resort to drugs.

What most guys don’t understand is a body that big is just not natural for the majority of us. If it was, most guys working out would naturally have the body as they started to experience more and more results.

So, unless you have some amazing genetics or superpowers, you are going to have to devote your life to getting big, whereas you can devote part of your life to getting lean and leave a lot of room open for other things.

Women Like Lean NOT Big

This is probably the biggest reason men would rather be lean than big. There are some women who want the huge muscles, but most women prefer a man who has a lean and muscular build. Don’t get me wrong, women seem to prefer a muscular body over a flabby one, but looking fit is what attracts them, not looking like a bodybuilder.

In short, a lean body is more attractive, more touchable, and more real to women. So, if your goal is to pick up a lot of women, then getting lean is a better option than getting big.

“Indeed, many women are intimidated by the hyper-muscular, big, bad, buffed look.” – The Richest

Muscle Is Muscle

Some guys think a lean body is not as good as a big body, but the truth is that muscle is muscle. There is no such thing as bulky muscle or lean muscle. They have the same amount of power inside of them. It is all just muscle under there, and since a lean looking body is more attractive to other people, why not stick with building lean vs big?

Less Awkward

Sitting in the middle plane seat… or any seat for that matter, is much more comfortable when your muscles are not taking up half of the seat. There is a big difference in the amount of mass when you look at a lean body vs a big body, and that mass can make things uncomfortable in everyday activities.

More Practical

Whether you are running on the beach, playing with your kids, trying to get on a carnival ride, or fooling around with a woman, it is easier to do it in a lean body than a big, bulky body. In other words, you are able to take on anything that comes your way without worrying about your body getting in the way or causing a problem.

being too big is not good. Whats best is power and speed. And for that you need to be lean. As evident by bruce lee, Who purposely lost weight because his size was slowing him down in fights. Size is just for show.

lol don't say that

[Iloko]

I think the same way.

Lean, natural muscles, and fit/toned is ideal and the most appealing because it's all natural.

Fake, put-on muscles is artificial and not appealing imo, just as I don't find any appeal whatsoever for women who've gotten breast or butt implants because it's not the natural genetics that they were born with, therefore doesn't draw attraction. A little extra muscle doesn't hurt but being overtly bulky is nasty and retarded.

Yeah, I can run alot faster lean than with big bulky muscle but I'm still strong relative to my bodyweight. I think I was running at like an 6:59 minute mile pace today just to get my heart rate in my target range. So there are like so many retarded slow meatheads in my gym who are not physically fit and can't run that fast nor run for more than a half an hour. Most of them can't even do pull ups either. I can do all that stuff.

Whatever, I just got back from a social gathering where I saw the same hot chick for third time in a week and she just straight up gives me the eyes : looks straight into my eyes alot. I went over and talked to her and I am going to screw the crap out of her (I got her number). She likes a 9/10. Women also do this to me other places like the gym etc.. they are basically giving me the eyes and seeing if I have enough self-confidence and are 'alpha' enough to approach them.

[Annie999]

I prefer bulky over lean but opinions on this are so diverse than the best you can do is do what feels right for you.

[zhaoyun]

If you're looking to attract women, it's best to be lean with decent muscle mass and a V shaped figured physique.

Wich part of ''I don't care for girls'' you don't understand?

Yeah, dude, lean natural muscles make you look like the hunter that women through evolution have come to be instinctively attracted to even though there is no need to hunt anymore you can't change thousands of years of evolution over night. Big bulky guys don't look like good hunters because they are too slow and plodding.

Wow,I am so offended...:picard1:

[Desaix DeBurgh]

Yeah, and nothing is better at giving you a v-shape torso like pull ups but the more bulky you are the harder they are to do : I can do like 13 pull ups in a row with my bodyweight and I can do like 6-7 pull ups with 35 pounds added to my body and I have a lean v-shape body.

[Prisoner Of Ice]

If you worry what women want, you are already so beta it's hopeless.

[Desaix DeBurgh]

If you worry what women want, you are already so beta it's hopeless.

Whatever, I've been into jogging for a while now so I stay lean and toned for my health and for functional strength primarily. Bodybuilders and bulky powerlifters are not physically fit and bodybuilders do not have functional strength. Being big and bulky fucks up my jogging and jogging lowers your resting heart rate (thus making you more athletic and physically fit) and helps prevent heart disease (one the two biggest killers of Americans) etc.. The attracting women is just a nice added bonus. While many Alphas are fit, alphas are usually so confident in ther masculinity they don't need to prove it by bulking. Attracting women has to be one of the reasons if not the primary reason many alphas stay physically fit maybe other reasons are to more easily kill other males james bond or bruce lee style etc..

Funny. We don't get those kinds of Indians around here. The ones I used to see on campus were either scrawny and beta, or obese and beta. With shrill, cracking voices. Guess they weren't Jatts :D

[Armand_Duval]

At long term it is better to be lean, I used to work out to get volume and weight and I did, I used to averaged from 95 to a maximun of 108 kilos during all my life but now that I am in my mid 40's and that I do not work out I decided to lose weight and now a days I am only 83 and this is OK because to mantain so much weight with acceptable quality as before is a hard task speccially to someone like me who has a very tight working schedule.


To have volume and be muscular has its advantages and disadvantages as most things in life.

[Armand_Duval]

It depends, if you lose too much weight then you become weak and if you face a bigger opponent he coud simply smash you.


There must be a balance between mass and leningness.

[Taiga Lake]

You should be lifting for yourself not just to impress women.

[SumitaSofat]

I agree with a little bit with thread starter. I would like to have athletic build. It's lean but not too and with muscles. Not everyone want to look like body builder. Leave big bulky for body builders as they are professional and it require long term devotion to maintain big bulky muscles.

[Shqipez]

I don't care for girls,I want to be big!

Pretty much this. if she likes it she likes it, if not then too bad :P Lean and big is also possible with the right diet and genetics. and of course the right training to it. I think combining strength training with boxing, kickboxing, mma or some kind of grappling/wrestling helps too.

[Highlands]

Being lanky isn't attractive though.Some broad shoulders are nice.I'm mostly attracted to mesomorph/endo types.:)

[Togarma]

Being too bulky is may be not. But a beach body always atract women.

Some examples

The problem with being bulky is that it's useless; what you need is endurance (in both the sense of moving distances for a long continuous time as well as carrying equipment), mobility and the ability to hold out for long periods of time with malnourishment. Bulky people aren't build for that. They are too large to hide, too large to miss, take up too much space and need too much food, and all that just for raw force, which has become more and more obsolete already with the advancement of even the most basic technology.

Hell, we've had bows, spears and horses for so long and a guaranteed food supply for so short that it's not strange to state that real 'bulky' types are a relatively modern phenomenon, because they wouldn't have had any use.

I'll let these images speak for themselves:
