Summer is the time for vacations and aesthetic heart attacks. You step out onto the beach from your hips - an expensive swimsuit, a tan from the best solariums, a thinner silhouette that has been hard-won... And there THEY are. Men who are confident in their irresistibility. Their abs have long turned into a canopy for the “horseman”, but they are still trying to approach the ladies with the gleam of Apollo in their eyes. It is very sad that our men do not take care of their figure. Or at least behind the part that is in the center and catches your eye. I would like to see pumped up torsos, six-pack abs, or at least just toned male bodies. And we see what we see.
What do women like most about a man's body?
A beautiful male body can become an object of female admiration. When assessing a partner's sexuality, ladies often give special preference to one or another part of his body, and if it turns out to be attractive enough, some physical flaws may go unnoticed.
Different women may have different tastes. Some people like slim and flexible young men, some like strong athletes, and some like plump men with a soft tummy. One way or another, ladies sometimes focus on one part of the body that is most attractive from their point of view, and it is by this that a man’s sexuality is judged.
One of the most attractive and sexy parts of the male body is the buttocks. These are the ones that some ladies pay attention to when flirting with a man. Preference is often given to elastic, narrow, toned buttocks, because they can be proof that a man cares about his body and works on it, trying to become stronger and at the same time more attractive.
All women pay special attention to the belly of their chosen one. There are fans of both six-pack abs and soft, round, although not too large, bellies. Men should also pay attention to their breasts: some women prefer them to be wide and strong, but in no case saggy or flabby. And finally, it’s worth mentioning the lips and hands. Sensual male lips can make a woman think about a passionate kiss, and well-groomed, beautiful and strong hands - about gentle caresses.

For me, the first place is not the external attractiveness of a man. I value erudition, the ability to carry on a conversation, interest in various fields of knowledge, especially in the fields of literature, art, theater and a good sense of humor. In general, I value intelligence in men much more than pumped up abs. However, one does not completely exclude the other. And an intelligent person understands perfectly well that sport is not just a way to become beautiful and maintain physical shape, but also to take care of one’s own health. It is not for nothing that in Ancient Greece there was a cult of harmonious personality development, which implied a combination of erudition and athletic physique.
Why is it useful for men to pump up their abs?
Good physical shape not only indicates sexual viability, but also adds attractiveness to a man. It is important to have strong muscles for the ability to be aroused and have prolonged sexual intercourse. Abs and potency are interconnected, since a “strong” stomach ensures the health of all abdominal organs.
First of all, it is necessary to achieve strength in the muscles located in the back, abdomen, buttocks and legs. This helps strengthen the core and also has a positive effect on blood flow.
A well-pumped abs affects potency, ensuring a normal level of blood supply to the penis. Sports activities also stimulate the production of testosterone, the main sex hormone responsible for the ability to experience arousal. During sexual intercourse, some poses involve active use of the abdominal muscles. With weak muscles, after the end of intimacy, pain appears in the abdominal area.

Of course, it’s always nice to look at a man’s pumped up abs. I think you, like me, like Chris Hemsworth with his perfect abs, biceps, triceps and everything else. But for any woman, not only cubes are important! If they are accompanied by a good character, a caring attitude towards a woman, the presence of romance, an excellent sense of humor, professional demand, self-realization, then such a man moves from the category of “just to admire” to another - he arouses interest and a desire to date. It’s doubly nice when a man finds time to do something important and to take care of himself and go to the gym.
Do girls like flat and inflated male abs?
Just recently, researchers from the United States came to a very unusual conclusion regarding male abs and overall attractiveness. During the course of the study, it became known that many representatives of the fair sex gravitate more toward plump “daddy bellies.”
Almost every man in 2022 sees hundreds of advertisements and pictures about how important it is to have a flat stomach and six-pack abs, and how much this increases male attractiveness. This kind of flat belly advertising campaign has been going on for many decades, but a sociological study commissioned by a US gym chain showed that its main message is wrong.
During the survey, it became clear that the most sought after among women is not perfect six-pack abs, but the so-called “daddy belly.”
It should not be confused with a beer belly, because a “daddy belly” is the body type of a man who does not have the opportunity to go to the gym often due to household chores.
Many men who get married and become new dads subsequently develop “daddy belly” - a certain amount of excess fat under the skin that they do not have the time or opportunity to get rid of. This is not a big belly, but rather simply the absence of those same 6 treasured abs, caused by the “severe need” to do household chores.
The survey also revealed another surprising phenomenon. Not only are women more attracted to men with such bellies, but the stronger sex themselves who have “daddy bellies” are happier. Thus, 79% of men with a similar type of abdomen were very happy, according to the survey, and among those with six-pack abs they were only 64%. “Daddy Bellies” helped men improve their self-esteem and learn to love their own bodies more deeply.
YOU WILL GET AWESOME ABS WITH DAILY PRESS TRAINING
This is a myth, although the abdominal muscles are more resilient than other muscle groups, they will not be defined without getting rid of excess subcutaneous fat. By pumping your abs 100 times daily or 3-4 times a week, 3 sets of 20-30 repetitions, you will get almost the same effect.
In addition, daily training, depending on your physical condition, can lead to overtraining.
muscle abscess, after which the muscles will ache, it will be more difficult to train and it will take a lot of time to recover, and all this together will push you back in achieving a beautiful belly.
Buttocks and thighs
Not only men look behind girls to evaluate their firm buttocks - representatives of the fairer sex evaluate a man’s butt in the same way.
They just don’t do it so openly. No, we are not making this up: hundreds of studies have confirmed this. Participants in the experiments chose men with convex, firm buttocks much more often than those with large arms and a flat stomach. Hips are no less important, because there is nothing funnier than a large torso with skinny legs. This is unanimously stated not only by girls, but also by reputable bodybuilders. Therefore, the verdict is clear: leg day should not be skipped under any circumstances.
Biceps
Any woman wants her chosen one to carry her in his arms and hug her tightly.
We understand that the size of the biceps does not affect strength, but you can’t argue with the subconscious. Therefore, it is easier for a bodybuilder to work on the impressiveness of his arms than to convince a lady that even without huge muscles he can easily lift her into his arms. In addition, sculpted arms covered with veins seem incredibly sexy to many girls. But you shouldn’t overdo it: no one will like biceps pumped to an unnatural size.
Let's meet!
Our sports column is led by Roma Yuryev . We decided to add a little spice and an alternative opinion to it. Direct. Just as honest.
Meet Ksenia Prutskova .
If the following lines make you feel hot, tingly, and generally feel uncomfortable, you should think about it, look in the mirror, and then write a comment.
Ksenia is a semi-finalist at the Moscow Bodybuilding and Fitness Championship in the fitness bikini category 2015. She blogs about simple things that everyone should know, regardless of gender. She is also just a very interesting person and PR manager for Mango Telecom , our friends.
Here is one of the topics from Ksenia, which may be very relevant to you, username. There will be more later, so start from here, train your show-off, so that you can take it up later.
Forearms
Unlike the biceps, which are usually hidden under clothing, the forearms are most often visible.
Pumped up arms turn an athlete into a superhero who can plant a tree, build a house, and protect from bullies. It's no wonder that sculpted forearms inspire awe in girls. They not only look beautiful, but also excite the subconscious of the fair sex. Such a mini-excursion into the secrets of female perception will help the athlete work exactly those muscles that will help attract female attention. But in pursuit of an attractive topography, you should not forget about your own comfort. If you don't enjoy working out hard, is it worth it to get girls interested?
Momentary weakness
Do girls like muscular guys?
If you answer this question directly, the unconditional answer will be the word “yes”. This is similar to how men are attracted to girls with a beautiful figure. The desire for beauty is what underlies this attraction. However, usually superficial attraction is limited to the first “minutes of weakness”: the further time goes, the harder it is to maintain attention. Think about what you really want? To have crowds of fans running after you, who are nothing serious, or to really interest girls? As a rule, standing girls are skeptical about pumped up guys. They have several reasons for this.
BY LOCKING YOUR PRESS, FAT WILL GRADUALLY LOSE AWAY
This is a myth, exercises for training the abs train muscles, make them stronger, increase their volume, and they have minimal effect on fat burning. By building abs without a proper ab diet, you will be left with strong abs hidden under a layer of fat and no one can see them outwardly, including you.
It is impossible to remove fat from the abdomen, to do this you will have to lose weight everywhere, I will even say that fat deposits on the abdomen, especially its lower part, appear first and last to go, these are the laws of physiology.
