Pattinson Wanted More then Muscle Hunks

Women prefer lean men like Robert Pattinson over muscle-bound hunks

Men who spend hours in the gym bulking up to impress women might be wasting their time, as new research shows that the ladies prefer lean limbs in a partner.

New Zealand anthropologist Barnaby Dixson has studied what the sexes find attractive about each other based on history and across cultures.

The results revealed that women preferred a leaner, less muscle-bound physiques – aka Robert Pattinson over Jason Statham.

Although many men pumping iron in the gym assume they're about to be jumped by hundreds of women, they might be better spent becoming svelte with more cardiovascular exercise.

Dixson said: 'On a biological level, women are more likely to pick a leaner, even slightly more effeminate man as they equate those physical traits with being more caring and gentle and therefore a better prospect as a partner.'

He also found that both men and women are most attracted to others who are of the same attractiveness as themselves, the Daily Mail reported.

'Women and men with those traits we consider biologically perfect will constantly attract the most high quality partners.

Interesting. I have read similar things like this before. It was in a dermatology clinic in india where I picked up this man's magazine. The first article was almost like this one saying women prefer leaner men.

The article also stated that "Men are currently the new women" and therefore men with leaner bodies have a better chance of finding a partner.😆😆

It might be shocking to girls but men also do disucss what kind of bodies are in "fashion" and among my male friends we agree with the article.

Personally I think you should be what you are and not try to be someone else. Certain people are built in certain ways and nothing can change the way you look - not even muscles. Can you imagine a bulky RP for example? ..well considering his fans even that would be "hot"😆😆

Anyway thanks for sharing this article. 👍🏼

Yup, just be yourself is the moral of the story. I pity men who A) pay a whopping amount of money to go gym when they can exercise at home with simple things and B) have the stress of maintaining muscles once they have "built" them. A lot of people even complain of sagging skin when you can't maintain your huge muscles. 🤢
