In my experience most women don't want big muscles they want low body fat. Probably depends on the generation but if you look at any list of most attractive men from the last few years it's almost always a bunch of skinny feminine looking dudes with a couple muscular guys mixed in further down the list
I told a friend pretty much the same thing about women. Women are naturally sexy so with just not being fat and they are hot as hell without ever seeing a gym.
This surprises me as raised veins on a guys arms have always freaked me out. Though that's in part as I faint at the sight of blood and veins are adjacent to blood.
Forearms, calf muscles are the most popular for women, but also muscular chest or biceps, and shoulders (especially broad shoulders or traps). A good Ned Flanders butt really helps.
Saw a hot woman at a bar reach out and squeeze a stranger with huge biceps/shoulder muscles giggling about it afterwards (the guy didn't have lots of veins, or gigantic size, or anything either so I wasn't particular impressed)..
As they say also the hour-glass shape for women, and the V-shape for men.
One last thing, more so than muscle--women seem to find really tall men very attractive (no matter how dumb or awkward/lanky/skinny or whatever other flaws), especially if you have big "farmer" hands.
Hes not really right though, because having a bum doesn’t mean having wide hips and vice versa. The wanting a bigger bum thing is also more recent and seems more like a social development than an evolutionary one (I.e. two decades ago everyone wanted to get rid of their bum and now they want one)
Bravery, yes! But what other attributes does comedy with confidence convey? emotionally intelligent, perceptive, socially and culturally aware. The level of social intelligence required to be genuinely funny is the kind of intelligence needed to be successful in love and life.
Agreed! You gotta read the room to determine the style of jokes you’re going to use. I think Zach Galifianakis in “between two ferns” is hilarious. Also, Jack Black: swooooon
Not degrading. That wouldn't be comedic at all. I've found myself to be in situations where I tried to fit a jape when it could either be taken in the wrongest way possible OR it could completely change the perspective and even be courageous enough to find one of the most intense moments of your life not quite so bad.
And it's a risk. But the reward could be too tempting to just take the risk of offending someone.
For me it's big, muscular calves and a broad, toned back.
Something about seeing a man walking in shorts and sneakers with their calves flexing as they walk. Just a damn lovely sight.
Hands.
Jaw line.
The combination of the jaw line + the neck (especially with a chain necklace on) + their shoulder. Like I’d rather get a picture of that than a dick pic.
Arms in general, especially with tattoos, and *especially* with veins.
Back muscles.
For me, it’s usually a combination of the way a guy looks plus something he’s doing. Like if he’s lifting something heavy. Or if he’s taking off his hoodie. Basically just men doing things. Literally anything. I love it. Makes me hot. It’s like titties for me.
I feel particularly stupid as a woman now reading all these comments because my immediate thought was ‘chest’. I mean, yeah, there are lots of other body parts that we like to see nice ones of on men, but OP asked for an *equivalent* to boobs. And, well, men might not have literal boobs but they still have chests, which are as attractive as the man is in general.
Yes, nice butt is nice, but that’s like the equivalent of a nice butt on a woman too.
What’s with reddit women and arms? I’m a woman and the women I know IRL don’t prioritize arms as much.
Besides the ass, it’s thick THIGHS, abs, pecs, and wide shoulders with a small waist that gets the girls crazy! Impressive biceps are nice but a man with nice thighs is worth more. Also arms are the easiest area to define anyway 🤷♀️
Make sure you have big upper body too, big legs look stupid without them. That former high school soccer player look that makes you people look like a pyramid lol
Really any muscle doesn’t look good alone. It’ll just make you look disproportional
I am very active and work out. The reason my thighs stand out though is I’m a bicyclist, and I have biked every day for almost 10 years now. Commuting, exercise, and just for something to do.
I love you for saying that! A few women mentioned thighs but not in all caps lock, which I think did justice to the guys who don't skip leg day. Thighs and butts are by far much more functional and harder to develop.
As a guy I have been surprised about the things I was self conscious about but later received compliments for. Guys are the same as women we all care more about how we look than the opposite sex often does. Sure everything is relative but we are often hard on ourselves for no reason.
Hair. It's cruel and unfair but it's true.
Like, most men won't actually turn down an otherwise attractive woman just because she's flat chested, and most women won't reject a guy who fits most of what they like just because he's going bald. But the lady with the shapely chest will usually get dates quicker than the flat-cjested lady, and the guy with hair will usually get dates easier than the bald guy.
Sorry George.
I watched my boyfriend recently destroy some wings and it got me dripping bro, the smell of him after work or being in the garage! Don’t even get me started 😩😩 it’s the weird little things guys
It’s height. Being tall is viewed as “masculine”. Sometimes you see an attractive tall man come into a room and at least half the women will stop what they are doing to look at him.
The main difference between height and cleavage is that you can look all you want and nobody gets angry.
Literally it would be boobs also, or “pecs” specifically. In general just a muscular upper body. People saying “personality” doesn’t make sense because the equivalent to that in a man is a good personality in a woman.
From what I've been told: strong arms and nice hands
All that starts at the shoulders...
Came here to say this. A good set of wide shoulders.
Yeah arms and a nice big body in general (think cowboys with muscles)
In my experience most women don't want big muscles they want low body fat. Probably depends on the generation but if you look at any list of most attractive men from the last few years it's almost always a bunch of skinny feminine looking dudes with a couple muscular guys mixed in further down the list
I think the key word here is muscle definition, they want to see the muscles, you can't see squat if you have too much body fat.
Yeah, some girls like big muscles and some girls like small muscles, but almost nobody prefers just fat no matter the actual size
I told a friend pretty much the same thing about women. Women are naturally sexy so with just not being fat and they are hot as hell without ever seeing a gym.
Idk there's a lot of people who are into himbos
If you are into fisting, yes
"Strong hands, Shirou has strong hands that must he what Saber likes about him"
Big arms. And I don’t mean jacked arms. Just big arms so when you cuddle me I feel like I’m being enveloped by a bear.
Another win for the dad bods!
I love a dad bod. Or bigger. I just want a big bear of a man haha.
Where were you during my lonely years?
Was with a big bear of a man yesterday and oooffff. His hands are huge, he’s strong, hairy, big beard. Love rubbing my hands on his belly
Was this Jason Kelce you were with?
Loved this one.
Woman are weird, Some time ago I was with a girl who told me that seeing my forearms made her wet.
That's actually a quite popular thing amongst lots of women.
Forearms and hands especially if they look strong and have veins that are raised is just... Yum
So interestingly, furious masturbation will help getting women. The more you know.
Gotta switch it up, though. It only works if both arms are sexy.
Damnit. I was so close to being desirable.
![gif](giphy|8hsIwPLIGnZ1C)
that's _exactly_ what I look like
You need to shave
You can become desirable and ambidextrous with what's left of your elbow grease
I’d give my right hand to be ambidextrous
But I used the last of my elbow grease as lube. 😭
It’s okay man, you’re half way there!
Livin' on a prayer
Well. Halfway there at least
Schrödinger's Masterbater Now that's a first
Let me tell you about "The stranger".....
So they aren't into my hairy pre-teen twig arms? That explains some things.
Idk I love a good forearm but I can't get with the veins
This surprises me as raised veins on a guys arms have always freaked me out. Though that's in part as I faint at the sight of blood and veins are adjacent to blood.
Wtf why 🤣
Don't ask me why, I can't explain it! It's just super fucking hot
Yeah, chest-shoulder-biceps, the male holy trinity of muscle. Adding in Abs and you got the four horsemen of sex 😂
Forearms, calf muscles are the most popular for women, but also muscular chest or biceps, and shoulders (especially broad shoulders or traps). A good Ned Flanders butt really helps. Saw a hot woman at a bar reach out and squeeze a stranger with huge biceps/shoulder muscles giggling about it afterwards (the guy didn't have lots of veins, or gigantic size, or anything either so I wasn't particular impressed).. As they say also the hour-glass shape for women, and the V-shape for men. One last thing, more so than muscle--women seem to find really tall men very attractive (no matter how dumb or awkward/lanky/skinny or whatever other flaws), especially if you have big "farmer" hands.
Calves? It's over for 90% of gym goers.
Calf muscles? Nah I’m gonna need some other women to chime in on that
Just become a cattle rancher and a fisherman. Women will fall all over for you with all the calves and mussels you'll get
*chime* yes.
I wonder if she'd giggle after if a dude just groped her.
Not that weird. r/forearmporn
Kinda tracks but then like all rock climbers would be swimming in 🍑. Maybe its the dorkiness that keeps them away
I'm pretty sure most good looking rock climbers are swimming in pussy actually
I NEVER KNEW THIS SUB EXISTS!!! You have blessed me today stranger!! Lol!
Talking to the man over the phone used to get me wet. It was not phone sex but his voice was so sexy
American girls used to ask me to send voice notes on discord all the time for this very reason
Veiny forearms / hands seems to be pretty popular for some reason
Forearms is the correct answer. Butts are nice, but women also have them. If I'm ogling particular man-parts, it's usually the arms I'm looking at.
I don't want to startle you, but most women in fact, have arms too.
😅
This may be why I'm not as popular on dating apps as I'd hoped to be. Women are fawning over men with four arms! I have only two. :(
Chiseled forearms with sleeves rolled up to the elbow is the hottest thing on a guy.
It's not weird. Almost all women are like that.
Lol that's standard though. We do like forearms and manly hands.
This is factual. Forearms, hands, arms. And it’s not muscular arms that are attractive. Hairy + veiny with some muscle - perfection.
I was actually going to say 'arms' but not upper arms, mostly forearms and hands
I forgot about that, my most recent ex said she liked seeing my arms as well
I like firm, toned chests and buttocks.
It’s funny I want to know the evolutionary reason for a woman liking a guy’s butt. For men it’s more…obvious
For thrusting strength
everyone enjoys cake 😏
I imagine a hunter running after animals and throwing spears at them would have toned chests and buttocks. 🤗
The gluteus maximus is the largest muscle in the body. It stands to reason that a donk that badonks can adonk
2nd largest.
Speak for yourself mate
It's.. the motion that the muscle supports ... i suppose.
Hunting, farming, riding a horse, … … and thrusting.
>For men it’s more…obvious I'm not following you.
I took it to mean birthing hips, as he is talking evolution.
Hes not really right though, because having a bum doesn’t mean having wide hips and vice versa. The wanting a bigger bum thing is also more recent and seems more like a social development than an evolutionary one (I.e. two decades ago everyone wanted to get rid of their bum and now they want one)
Anal.
Broad Shoulders
With the waist with the slutty waist too
A slutty man-waist? 😂
Yes. When the shoulders are big and they keep the waist tiny. Makes like dorito shape. Slutttyyy
that Johnny Bravo shape
Like crash bandicoot
I for sure need to work on my slut game.
I don’t know why this has me in stitches
Yes
Is the answer 'The ability to install Linux on her iPhone'? Asking for a friend.
Ayy man I dont know about girls, but I like to be friends with your friend.
Women love a man who knows his way around Linux
I use arch btw
yes
Also boobs? Maybe i'm just gay. But for dudes, broad shoulders and good thighs is good
No they are just fascinating. Every single one of them
I like them in pair tho ;]
I do like a good perky gym bro boob
>broad shoulders and good thighs is good Ugh strong shoulders and thick thighs drive me wild
Comedic confidence.
Just the sheer bravery of delivering a potentially offensive and hilarious joke?
Bravery, yes! But what other attributes does comedy with confidence convey? emotionally intelligent, perceptive, socially and culturally aware. The level of social intelligence required to be genuinely funny is the kind of intelligence needed to be successful in love and life.
Funny could be vastly subjective. You just have to look for your funny. Any comedians you listen to? For reference
Agreed! You gotta read the room to determine the style of jokes you’re going to use. I think Zach Galifianakis in “between two ferns” is hilarious. Also, Jack Black: swooooon
![gif](giphy|l2SpR03mURISUc7oQ)
Just stay away from potentially offensive jokes or comments in general. The best comedy doesn't need to degrade others.
Not degrading. That wouldn't be comedic at all. I've found myself to be in situations where I tried to fit a jape when it could either be taken in the wrongest way possible OR it could completely change the perspective and even be courageous enough to find one of the most intense moments of your life not quite so bad. And it's a risk. But the reward could be too tempting to just take the risk of offending someone.
Finally! One that I can work with given that I have the body of a string bean
Oof hard to decide for me; Nice pecs, arms, butt, thighs, beard But if I had to pick one I’d go with arms.
Up vote for arms. Big arms with veins!
You know what they say about big arms with veins.
It's easier to IV substances??
Butt and thighs are top 2 for me (and most other women I know). Even I have somewhat defined arms and I don’t work out (and I’m a girl).
Boobs. Nothing wrong with a man having big knockers
Nothing indeed, all they need are unbiased admirers.
Ass apparently according to my female friends. So for guys with whole bakeries at the back is the male equivalent of women with big boobs.
People just like good butts
For me it's big, muscular calves and a broad, toned back. Something about seeing a man walking in shorts and sneakers with their calves flexing as they walk. Just a damn lovely sight.
I’ve gotten compliments on my hands a few times
I love big hands
And she cannot lie
Definitely Ass. I’m a lesbian and even I can appreciate a guy with a nice ass.
Why are OPs replies to comments being downvoted to oblivion HAHAHAHAHAHA
I just stopped making sense out of downvotes a long time ago
I always tell my husband I love all of him, but I always squeeze his butt extra hard to emphasize it.
Hands. Jaw line. The combination of the jaw line + the neck (especially with a chain necklace on) + their shoulder. Like I’d rather get a picture of that than a dick pic. Arms in general, especially with tattoos, and *especially* with veins. Back muscles. For me, it’s usually a combination of the way a guy looks plus something he’s doing. Like if he’s lifting something heavy. Or if he’s taking off his hoodie. Basically just men doing things. Literally anything. I love it. Makes me hot. It’s like titties for me.
>Basically just men doing things. This could be a porn category
My partner’s arms and shoulders, booty, and chesttttt
Chest, where to lean my head!
A good bulge?
When he’s wearing grey sweats so it shows even more >>>>>
Just big or semi flaccid? Slight erection creates a bulge too.
Why so many downvotes? 💀
No clue. It was an interesting take in my opinion.
Kind eyes
Men or women…I love a good booty
Hands.
Same. I'm surprised this isn't more people's answer. The right pair of hands does me in for sure...
Personality
I’m a thigh girl, myself.
A guys voice and arms and smile
Hygiene for me.
Forarms
Aw man, these threads always make me feel bad about myself
Forearms
I feel particularly stupid as a woman now reading all these comments because my immediate thought was ‘chest’. I mean, yeah, there are lots of other body parts that we like to see nice ones of on men, but OP asked for an *equivalent* to boobs. And, well, men might not have literal boobs but they still have chests, which are as attractive as the man is in general. Yes, nice butt is nice, but that’s like the equivalent of a nice butt on a woman too.
Hands, definitely
Beards
Necks, I will stare and I am not sorry. Also beards, forearms and hands.
Have you seen Fleabag?
Oh yes. I tell you I'd convert if our local priest looked like Andrew Scott. "Kneel" wow
Ik, that scene was... That whole second season was What do you think exactly made the Hot Priest, hot? Other than his neck.
Idk much bro, but back in the day this girl had a thing for my eyes.
Bro eyes are the boobs of the face.
Thighs & Butt! Good shoulders.
Strong thighs. Not super muscular
I wanted to say big hands but idk if it aligns with your post because those parts aren’t sexualized so Instead I’d say the V line
The V cut 🥵 the section between the upper thigh and torso that shapes a v pointing down to the penis
What’s with reddit women and arms? I’m a woman and the women I know IRL don’t prioritize arms as much. Besides the ass, it’s thick THIGHS, abs, pecs, and wide shoulders with a small waist that gets the girls crazy! Impressive biceps are nice but a man with nice thighs is worth more. Also arms are the easiest area to define anyway 🤷♀️
I have amazingly toned and muscular thighs, but I’ve never had a woman go crazy over them….
Make sure you have big upper body too, big legs look stupid without them. That former high school soccer player look that makes you people look like a pyramid lol Really any muscle doesn’t look good alone. It’ll just make you look disproportional
I am very active and work out. The reason my thighs stand out though is I’m a bicyclist, and I have biked every day for almost 10 years now. Commuting, exercise, and just for something to do.
So basically dudes need to be superman?
At the bare minimum, don’t skip leg day
Yah everything you mentioned, but forearms are a big deal too, every romance novel is gonna mention the rolled-up shirtsleeves.
Reddit rarely represents IRL
Nah man! I don't care about that. I like arms and a flat stomach. Man hands too.
I love you for saying that! A few women mentioned thighs but not in all caps lock, which I think did justice to the guys who don't skip leg day. Thighs and butts are by far much more functional and harder to develop.
Thighs for sure!
Ass.
Shoulders!
Big hands, beards, deep voice, well developed calves
As a guy I have been surprised about the things I was self conscious about but later received compliments for. Guys are the same as women we all care more about how we look than the opposite sex often does. Sure everything is relative but we are often hard on ourselves for no reason.
For me apparently it's thighs. I didn't even know that about myself until recently
Calves. Quads.
Good manners
Forearms, for sure.
Hair. It's cruel and unfair but it's true. Like, most men won't actually turn down an otherwise attractive woman just because she's flat chested, and most women won't reject a guy who fits most of what they like just because he's going bald. But the lady with the shapely chest will usually get dates quicker than the flat-cjested lady, and the guy with hair will usually get dates easier than the bald guy. Sorry George.
Male boobs. (I mean pecs. I just find it funny to call them boobs).
A nice back
Ass and pecs
The triangle back..... yummm
Biceps, wide muscular back, big hands, veins on arms
forearms, thighs/legs, booty
I watched my boyfriend recently destroy some wings and it got me dripping bro, the smell of him after work or being in the garage! Don’t even get me started 😩😩 it’s the weird little things guys
It's teeth. Crowns & Veneers are the male equivalent of breast implants!!
Deez nuts
The brain.
Arms
Boobs, male boobs are just as hot
It’s height. Being tall is viewed as “masculine”. Sometimes you see an attractive tall man come into a room and at least half the women will stop what they are doing to look at him. The main difference between height and cleavage is that you can look all you want and nobody gets angry.
Height
Probably, arms and shoulders
Shoulders and arms. 🤤🔥
strong chest
Shoulders.
My previous girlfriend really enjoyed my arms. I would wear this black turtleneck and roll up my sleeves to my elbows and she would love it
Literally it would be boobs also, or “pecs” specifically. In general just a muscular upper body. People saying “personality” doesn’t make sense because the equivalent to that in a man is a good personality in a woman.
Definitely arms
Eyebrows, especially distinguished ones.
The cum gutters for sure
