For a long time, many people have thought the ideal male body is all about six-pack abs, broad chest, and wide shoulders. Words like “skinny” or “chubby” were rarely seen as attractive standards. But that’s just the common belief. In reality, what body type do most women actually prefer in men? To find out, a YouTuber recently ran a survey to get the most accurate answer.
It’s important to note that every woman has her own ideal type, both in looks and personality. This survey focused only on body shape. The YouTuber created nine different male body types and asked random women to pick their favorites. The survey then spread across online communities in several countries. The body types ranged widely, from extremely skinny to well-built gym enthusiasts, and even some slightly overweight guys.
The results surprised not only the YouTuber but many others, including men themselves. The most popular picks were numbers 3 and 4, representing fit, healthy bodies that are neither too skinny nor too bulky. That part wasn’t too shocking. What was interesting was that the second most popular choice was number 2, a slimmer, leaner build. Many women agreed that having too many muscles isn’t always a plus and can sometimes feel like a burden.
This goes against what many men usually think, as they spend hours at the gym trying to bulk up and get the most defined muscles possible. But after seeing this survey, maybe it’s time to rethink that. Having broad shoulders and big muscles isn’t the only way to impress women.
