Women drawn to men with muscles
So how do I get paid to do a study like this? I think it’s pretty obvious.
I do think there may be more differences though if they had studies different groups of women. I mean just because college girls are attracted to and having sexual histories with guys with muscles, it doesn’t necessarily mean that older women are as prone to seek that out as a primary motivator. Or dumber women, or whatever. You know what I mean?
I think articles like this also make it hard on men’s minds and ego, and it also does not give enough information about many women will seek stability and security first, and then look for good genes, which may or may not necessarily lend itself to the whole muscular look thing. I know some really ugly people with lots of muscles that would probably be turned down for a good looking guy with lots of symmetrical genes who does not have as many muscles.
Women drawn to men with muscles

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Muscular young men are likely to have more sex partners than their less-chiselled peers, researchers at the University of California Los Angeles said on Monday.
(Advertisement)Their study, published in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, suggests muscles in men are akin to elaborate tail feathers in male peacocks: They attract females looking for a virile mate.
“Women are predisposed to prefer muscularity in men,” said study author David Frederick of UCLA.
“Most research is focused on what men find physically attractive in women and the career traits women find attractive in men,” Frederick said by telephone. “Much less research is devoted to what women find attractive.”
He said prior studies concluded a man’s desirability was influenced more by his earning potential and commitment. His study found physical characteristics mattered more.
Women were more physically attracted to brawny men, especially for a fling. But when it comes to finding a long-term partner, they tend to pick a regular man over a mate with huge biceps.
“On the one hand, it makes them more sexy to women. On the other hand, it makes women more suspicious about their romantic intentions,” Frederick said.
He and colleagues interviewed 99 male undergraduates about their sexual histories. Muscular men were twice as likely to have had more than three sex partners than less-built types.
Frederick and colleagues also asked 141 college women to look at six standardized silhouettes of men ranging from brawny to slender. Most preferred a toned man who was more likely to commit over a muscle-bound man they perceived as more volatile, aggressive and dominant.
