It’s not that they don’t like muscular men, it’s more so that they don’t want to date a guy who is more into building muscles than being a good boyfriend to them.
Women aren’t lying when they convey their misgivings about what it was like dating a muscular man in the past.
He is at the gymnasium for hours, missing out on time with her.
While at the gym, he is constantly taking photos of himself, sweaty and with his muscles popping, and posting said photos on his social media, with the intent of garnering compliments and follows from a wide audience, many of whom are female.
He is repeatedly canceling dates, telling her that he is so exhausted from the previous night’s workout at the gym, and that he requires a few extra hours of sleep.
Meanwhile, she is without a date for yet another Friday or Saturday night.
His refusal to leave the gym with her when they have already been there for a couple of hours working out together, insisting that he must get another hour of workout in.
Yet again, she is on her own as she heads home.
His absolute obsession with looking at his body whenever he is with her, as he observes the progress he is making on the body parts he is working on, whether it be his arms, quads, back, chest, etc.
Rather than giving her his full attention, he is looking at these body parts, lost in admiration of his progress, or trepidation of the lack there of.
All of these incidents with muscular men she has dated in the past add up.
When the inevitable breakup occurs, she swears off ever dating muscular men again.
For loads of women who say that they don’t like muscular men, much of that comes from a bad previous experience as the girlfriend or love interest of a muscular man.
It’s PTSD so to speak.
She remembers what she went through the last time she dated a muscular man, and puts all muscular men in that box.
It’s not a dislike of muscular men in general per se.
It’s a knee-jerk reaction to the negative experience she went through dating a muscular man in the past.
If you are a muscular man, with a healthy and not obsessive approach to your muscle gains, don’t be discouraged.
Women don’t dislike muscular men in and of themselves.
They dislike it when a muscular man is far more into his muscle gains than he is wanting to be with her.
When you have a healthy approach to how you go about building muscle, it absolves you of this bias.
A healthy approach is when you aren’t at the gym at ungodly hours.
You aren’t so obsessed with your muscle gains that you are fixated in looking at the body parts you have been working on, instead of cuddling with her and talking to her about her week, concerns, interests, etc.
You aren’t struggling to keep up a healthy sex life with her, given that you are too physically exhausted from the workouts you have been doing all week.
A sex life that suffers on account of workout exhaustion, makes for a very unhappy girlfriend.
Basically, a muscular man that maintains a healthy balance in how he incorporates building muscle and being a good attentive boyfriend to his girl, is exactly what works.
When you are too concerned with building muscle, that is where you end up turning girls off.
