This preference can be attributed to evolutionary and social factors where a fit, healthy, and athletic body is seen as an indicator of desirable traits such as discipline, determination, patience, perseverance, and self-respect[7]. These traits can be appealing from a partner selection perspective, as they may signal the ability to provide protection and stability.
Optimal Physique According to Research

This indicates that while women do appreciate a muscular and lean physique, there is a point of diminishing returns where additional muscle mass may not significantly increase attractiveness and could potentially be less appealing[7]. This finding suggests that the goal for men aiming to improve their physical attractiveness should be to achieve a well-balanced and proportionate physique rather than striving for extreme muscularity.
Specific Traits Women Find Attractive

For instance, women's preferences for men's facial masculinity are stronger under certain conditions, suggesting that facial features can also play a role in attractiveness[2].
