Yes, I really only notice when I'm at the gym though. More my forearms than anything else.

I have muscular arms which protrude the veins out. When I donate blood, I make the nurse's life easier.

I think it's mixed. The other day at a friends Bday party we were bowling and my veins got big afterward. Some of the girls asked if I worked out but I don't, and they thought they were sexy. One girl didn't think so though.

MY forearms far more so than my bicep, but it does have one visible vein the center of it. Nothing gross

Very much so in summer time, doesn't occur as much when its cold though I can still see them, they don't protrude as far.

It depends on how they're oriented. If I'm just using the computer, then the veins aren't really noticeable, though they are still visible through my sun-starved skin. But if I stand up with my arms hanging at my sides, then the blood pools a bit, and the veins bulge out quite a bit.

My sister's reaction when she happened to see my veiny arms was, "EeeeEEWWWWWW!"

most girls i know don't like them, and super veiny arms while not lifting can be a sign of roiiidds..

I only get them while lifting.

Forearms and calves, yes. Not so much on my biceps. It's just a genetic thing, not something I try and aim for.

I have lots of my forearms and the major veins are visible down my bicep.

As for what girls think: I would say girls like veins up to a point. Visible veins on bicep, forearm, etc is an indicator of a lean body fat % and muscularity.

Low body fat = good
High body fat = bad
muscles = good

Of course, if you take roids and/or are abnormally lean and veiny, then it's gross.

With a lower body fat %, I have a crazy amount. Right now I'm bulking, so I've lost most of them, but when I cut to under 10% body fat, I should have a fair amount of them.

i agree with this, and veiny arms on a chick are just ugly.
