the male physique.?

Question

what is the general consensus on a little bit of fat on a man? are small pot bellies hideous, acceptable, or quite qute actually?!

if you think it's a silly question i'm sorry but it just crossed my mind and I thought I'd ask!!!

Answer 1

I like a guy that is in shape, someone that is not all muscles. In shape means that he can bike, play a game without being out of breath. If that guy has a small belly, ok, he just needs to keep active. Guys that are all muscles spend way to much time working out alone.

Answer 2

Proportion is the name of the game here. If you're tall and thin a pot belly would look unsightly. If you're broad and muscular, you can carry a little weight. I know it might sound a little soft, but I'd thoroughly recommend doing pilates. It really works the core muscles which in turn tone the stomach, and it's bloody hard work! I still ache two days later!

Answer 3

Some women enjoy "love handles" just as some men like a more-rounded Rubens-type woman.
Perhaps not a pot belly, but a well-distributed half-inch of fat is not an automatic turn-off.

Answer 4

Pot bellies are unattractive - it shows laziness and that he probably sits on the sofa for hours drinking cans of lager.
As women are we expected to forgive a man for his fat gut and find it 'cute'? Just like men do about our fat bits? Ha!
Anyway - one of the most disgusting things is having sex with a man with a belly and feeling it rub against you. Gross.

Answer 5

I prefer a nice, flat belly. my boyfriend's is 38 and in perfect shape, and he doesn't not obsess at the gym, he just eats right and works hard. as he gets older, I will still truly love him if he gets a small pot belly, as I hope he accepts me as I age, however I know we will do the best we can to stay attractive for each other and healthy for our own good. this is what we prefer, everybody is different.

Answer 6

I love a little belly on a man. I dislike most skinny boys because I feel like they're gonna break in half. And overly muscular men make me sick because they look gross.

Myself being boney and tiny framed, I like the comfort of a man with meat on him. As long as you are rather proportionate and don't let your weight get out of hand you'll be fine

Answer 7

Personally I like a bit of weight on a man!! Can't stand vain, gym obsessed men!! Give me a proper man that eats well, drinks beer, and enjoys the good things in life!!!

Answer 8

men seem to get away with it alot more than women... I wont go into the whole celebrity image thing. But yeah I thinks its quite nice and better than having a skinny lean lad. ( women dont like going out with somebody whos slimer than them!). I think it has something to do with feeling protected with a guy. And some men believe it to be there trophey as in "it took money to but that gut on" while filling themselves with beer and take away!

Answer 9

the best physique a man can have is straight, tall and slim. try this exercise. stand in front of the mirror and pull in the muscle of your tummy, you will notice your shoulders are slightly raised up and broader than when you let the tummy bulge up. what do you reckon the dropping shoulder or the one that was held up high firm and straight.

Answer 10

Nothing wrong with a bit of fat! Not too much mind you but i also wouldnt' want a man who was smaller than me. It'd be embarrasing to know i weighed more than my man!
