Here is something interesting, 160 women were asked if they preferred a muscular over a normal/slim male body (using photos).
Researchers asked 160 women to rate the attractiveness of headless male torsos and every single woman chose the stronger men over the weak. Some women may claim that chiselled abs and giant biceps are not what they are seeking in a man. But a scientific study suggests that if your female partner tells you this, she is probably just being kind.
“We weren’t surprised that women found physically strong men attractive ... what did surprise us was just how powerful the effect was,” said Aaron Sell, a senior lecturer at Griffith University, Queensland, Australia, who led the work. “Our data couldn’t find even a single woman that preferred weaker or feminine male bodies.”
The strength of a man was by far the strongest predictor of whether he was rated as attractive - it explained 70% of the difference in scores.
