RE: Are women attracted by muscular male bodies? (Part 1.5 of 2)

Yeah what you're saying sounds about right: testosterone-filled competition among men. Probably insecurities too.

Also I think bodybuilding might be appealing because of its simplicity. Men are kinda single-minded and want to be given one task to do. So the instruction "get a great body" is at least something they can direct their efforts to, whereas trying to get women in other ways would be oh so complicated (since every woman is different), and would lead to confusion and the age-old "what do women want" question. Figuring women out is hard if not impossible, whereas getting a shredded body is at least doable!
