Muscles, Attraction, and Advice

[HardcoreRobot]

Heres the deal. I dont really consider myself to be ugly, but I have a hard time getting girls to notice me *in that way*. I can be quite fun to hang out with at times and usually have no problems becoming friends with girls. So, assuming I am not busted-ass ugly, the only other reason I can think of is my phsyique. I am naturally fairly athletic and in good shape, but I am just skinny! Could muscles be the missing link? Exactly how much influence to they have in attracting girls? Like if a girl sees a marginally handsome guy with a ripped body, is that enough? Opinions, please!

I don't see what else you would need.

I really don't like big muscles, unless that is your natural form

edit: have you tried asking anyone out? maybe you just think they aren't interested

Women shouldn't be vain enough to have to notice you for your phsyique. Like you said, you have no problems getting girls to like you as friends - you just have to take the initiative to take it to the next level.

Depends, what kind of girl are you trying to attract? Personally, a guy reading something quirky and laughing will catch my attention much quicker than some guy walking by flexing who looks like he spends most of his time concentrating on the superficial. I'm not saying that looks aren't important, but don't assume that all girls are hung up on how a guy looks. Be interesting-looking, be different. Look like you're happy being alone... it'll make women wonder.

Well, if I were looking for *just* a friend, I would stick with guys - they are a lot easier to get along with imo. Of course I would want to be friends with any girl I got involved with, but it is just very frustrating when you are looking for something more intimate and the feelings are not mutual.

I doubt it's your physique. I know a guy that gets quite a few women and he's got man boobies. You probably just aren't assertive enough.

Why wouldnt a girl be attracted to a guy with broad shoulders and a six pack? Of course that would just be initial attraction after that you gotta have what it takes on the inside to really grab their attention....

I was contemplating starting to work out, but I dont think that would help to broaden my shoulders

I have a lean, muscular, athletic physique and I can assure you that chicks dig it. It has been responsible for attracting the vast majority of the women that I've dated (well, along with my two miniature pinschers ). A great body will get you noticed, but a girl has to like the whole package before she'll truly be interested.
