Is to notice what guys and girls say when they notice it.

If they overwhelmingly ask things that are associated with bodybuilding, like
“Are you a bodybuilder”
“Are you on a diet / do you only eat chicken - rice”
“How much do you bench”

You are seen as a tryhard and mostly appeal to the male gaze, probably you are too buff

While if you get remarks like
“What sport do you play”
“Are you competitive in x y sport”
anything pointing towards you just doing some sport and being athletic, chances are people think you are genetically fit, you appeal to the female gaze.

Being associated with bodybuilding is tryhard, while looking athletic is envyable. You want people to think you do athletics, some combat sport, a team sport or perhaps swimming, even if you don’t.

Being lean with some muscles is life, you need to look like a good hunter, like males were supposed to be.

True af. Shredded athlete physique is ideal.



But at some occasions/ parties when I get my shirt off, some salty or whatsoever girls approach me out like "Did you hit the gym before you came here?" stuff, although I didn't & I'm not big at all (Similar physique to yours with a bit more body fat, same height.)

I tell them that I do martial arts, which I did in the past but not now at the moment. Adds respect & interest for both genders.




What is your opinion on Trevor Signorino's physique? Is it ideal?

its completely true.
This is my Thread about this topic

Girls desire a man with an athletic physique.. because its appeals the most natural and healthy
body builder is too extreme and because of that, its like unnormal = not good for offspring genes

fat = unhealthy = no attraction = not sexy
too skinny = unhealthy = no attraction = not sexy
too muscular = unhealthy = no attraction = not sexy

athletic (low body fat and a lil bit muscle) = healthy = attraction = sexy.

We all humans are controlled by our subconcious and our subconcious (instinct) decide, which person we find attractive/sexy and which not.

when a girl looking at you, and if you are athletic, her subconcious send a signal to her concious with "he is healthy enough to pass good genes to offspring" and her concious translate this to "fuck, i find him very attractive and im wet, i wanna fuck him"

thats the whole story

Women who say that this is too much are lying anyways. They will get wet at the sight of a body like this.

In general the main thing that matters is looking aesthetic: V taper, good insertions etc. Combine this with a good amount of size and mass and you will have a giga mogger physique like the ones above

Extremes are never good; most people can't even get to the level you're speaking of or in either of the pictures you gave. In general, your shoulder-to-hip ratio, muscle insertions plus size, and leanness will determine how much your body appeals to women.
 
On one hand ur right

On the other, something like 90% of dudes will never look too muscular cuz shit genetics

Doesn’t matter. My point was what is ideal in the eyes of women.

But besides that Trevor seems natty and Jeff seid has god tier frame mesomorph genetics as you can see on his teenager pics and probably would have looked almost the same if he would have stayed natty.

If you have the genetics you can definitely atleast come close to their physiques after 5+ years of natty lifting

Good thread but no chance the average user here has to worry about being too buff lol.
 
There's advantages of having a physique that appeals to the male gaze even if your sole goal for lifting is slaying.

Big one is that you intimidate, and command respect from other guys. In clubs and bars, that's very beneficial due to how competitive and aggressive other males can be with alcohol and females in the mix. I've known multiple good looking but skinny dudes who could pull, but also have been jumped and had the shit beaten out of them by other males out at bars and clubs.

It's also not like you can't appeal to both male and female gaze. Just get as jacked and big as you can without spilling over to the point where you lose your jawline. Personally, I like the way I look at 15% bf more than when I'm 8-12, because while my face isn't as sharp, I still have a visible jawline and cheekbones, but my muscles are a lot more filled out and I look a lot stronger and physically imposing

agreed, Frank Zane for sure but you will be told by incels this isnt true since they dont have the genetics or genetics
or let me repeat again the genetics to come close to him, yeah you need roids too but also balls to YOLO it and not give a fuck, if Zane was walking around on a beach he would cause more heads to turn than that gyal in the exorcist

Finally a sane person in this thread.

Even without t shirt it will only look good on people with average-short height.
This physique is auschwitz tier if you are +6'1

Woman say they dont like big muscles because they think every man that roids instantly becomes Ronnie Coleman, Jay Cuttler etc.

As you posted, David Laid, Connor Murphy type is best.

Also i have never seen a video of Connor that a girl tells him he is too muscular.

Nah thats cope

you'd literally disappear with a shirt on with this much size lacking. but then again if u get that lean with that muscle defintion u are already above average genetically. getting decent size while being reasonably lean u need to be 95 percentile not everybody has that
