A woman with a six-pack: Turn on or turn off?

If it's a six-pack of beer, it's a turn on. It gets more complicated if we're talking six-pack abs. I don't know many men who insist that their women be ripped. I know men who like flat tummies, and men who like just a little bit of a paunch. Are we talking The Situation with boobs? Or just toned and defined? Maybe a devout body-builder would want a woman who is into the same things he is into like, um, pumping the burn or whatever.

I can actually see a situation where a guy could be intimidated by a woman who's got more muscles than him. Or, worse, a man might be turned off because to some, muscles are not percieved as feminine. But don't worry: the insecure and the sexist aren't going to be worth your time. They're going to be that way regardless of whether you have a rock hard stomach or not.

Personally, I would love to date She-Hulk. I have written before about how I love tall and curvy women, and the idea of hooking up with a woman who has biceps is a turn on. I would want to wrestle her naked. I am attracted to people who have passion, and a woman with a six-pack is obviously a woman passionate about her body, and health. She's probably an athlete. Good for her. I dig that.

The thing is, this woman probably wouldn't find my one-pack a turn on.

I have a six pack and as you said John I find the men who are turned away from that insecure or sexist, the two type of not only men but people who you don't want to waste your time with. I love it when I meet a man who loves the fact that I am in shape because it not only shows me he is neither of the two but that he supports a passion of mine.

I think for women there is this idea that men are attracted to weak but skinny girls and for men women are attracted to the six pack ribbed man but people have much more diverse tastes and attractions. I know for myself I am attracted to guys with a little extra weight. Why? Just because.

i think a woman with a six-pack is very serious-minded individual wo is very health-conscious... that being said, i think she'd be looking for a like-minded mate... i.e. a man or another woman with a six pack.

like attracts like, no? so bottom line, don't sweat it. people you find attractive, are likely to find you similarly attractive. actually in my psych class, research found that people in a couple are more often at the same level of attractiveness. i.e. a 8 would date an 8, and a 5 would be happy with a 5... etc etc

Mmm... That last bit is very interesting and I can see that.

Each guy is different on this one. And to be honest unless you're taking steroids you should be comfortable with whatever body "design" you want. Whether that is totally ripped or just toned with a six pack.

Personally, I think those body builder chicks with rock hard everything (including a distinct lack of boobs) are nasty. But a girl with some natural muscle tone, six pack, biceps, etc is good looking as long as she has boobs. :)

But I know guys who see those body builder chicks and start drooling. So, really, each to their own.

And last, but not least, kudos for your dedication to getting a six pack, I know that's not easy. Still trying even get a flat tummy myself!

Aw, someone finally answered one of my questions! Great answer John.
But ha, I'm nowhere near a She-Hulk. In fact, I don't have a fully defined, super visible six-pack YET, but it's coming along very nicely. I asked this question out of curiosity, but I definitely would not have stopped my 'journey' if you would have said 'EWWW muscles are for men!' (not that I imagine you saying that, as you're not a 14 year-old asshat). Truth is, I spent a lot of time being unhealthy (by either being overweight or skinny and borderline eating-disordered), and the six-pack has a personal meaning, like a girl-scout badge for finally being healthy and happy.

And if that makes guys want to wrestle me naked, I'm up for it.

Good for you! :)
That is awesome. Healthy is good.

I myself am a weight-lifting nut and while I don't yet have 6-pack abs, I'm trying to work my way up to that. ;-)
My man doesn't have 6-pack abs either, and I still find him extremely sexy. You see, he actually takes care of himself. That's what matters most to me. We all have to deal with the genes we've been born with. As long as we respect our bodies, there is no perfect shape or size. However, a man who sits around all day drinking beer and eating crap would be a huge turn-off for me. Occasionally, that's fine. But you have to draw the line somewhere, if for no other reason but your own health. I respect people who respect themselves.
