That's funny. The other day we were watching 'into the blue' which is about treasure-hunting and features lots of girls and guys diving in skimpy swimwear. I asked my wife if she thought the actors were attractive. Her answer was, "No, I like muscular guys like you, those guys are just skinny, look at their tiny arms!" I got a huge kick out of that, sometimes I think all this bodybuilding is just selfish, but obviously the wife is getting something out of it too!

thats one savvy woman you have there. not trying to comment on the quality of your relationship or your physique but remember were all still "dating" each other even long after weve been married.
an unsolicited compliment like that can be better for the ego & relationship then a free pass for a night out with the guys or some such thing. and it usually lasts longer.
about paul walker. not a terribly good actor but he keeps getting work so......... im not aware of him ever being muscular or into lifting so if thats the case he actually doesnt look half bad. the kind build that could be (reasonably) impressive if he ever decided to "lift" seriously for a yr or so.
I certainly wouldn't dispute the conclusion that women like muscular men, but asking college-aged guys to self report their number of sexual partners is like asking the North Koreans how many nuclear bombs they have -- take the results with a grain of salt.
The article is all about perception. Perception is skewed by ignorance. It concludes with the perception that "toned" guys tend to commit while big guys don't. I think working out and eating lots for a couple of years to gain muscle is a commitment. Let's ask those who are currently bulking.
