If you ask any woman what type of male body she finds attractive, you will probably give you a very vague answer such as not too fat or not too thin. However research has shown that women are generally attracted to a male body that is fit and muscular because this is the male symbol of masculinity and vitality.

The female instinct will find protection and security in the man’s masculinity and good genetic pass on for her offspring in his vitality. This attraction is instinctive and that is why they can’t give you a concise answer when asked.

However there is a limit on how muscular a guy should be in order to be attractive to the girls. This is because research has also shown that many women are actually turned off by big overly muscular men, think The Incredible Hulk. They assume rightly or wrongly that these men are intimidating, threatening, narcissistic and even dangerous.

So being too muscular is not attractive, then what about being thin and small? Of course our common sense will tell us that this is not going to work either as these small framed men will be perceived as weak and submissive and those are certainly not attractive masculine traits.

Unknown to most men, there is in fact a measurement called The Adonis Index to determine the perfect male body shape and size that most women will find attractive. This body type is not exactly middle of the road type of body either. I mean, what is so exciting or attractive about an average ordinary body?

The Adonis Index male physique is a somewhat muscular and fit body that is closer to the higher end of muscle mass and male masculinity. To give you an idea, think of male competitive swimmers and gymnasts.

In several studies, when women were shown pictures of different male physiques, most if not all women will inevitably rate male physiques that were classified as “well built” and “well toned” as more sexually desirable than physiques that were categorized as just being “slim”, “Average”, or “Chubby”. More than that, in those studies, the women also admitted that they were most likely to have sexual relationships with muscular men rather than the thin, average or chubby types!

In another survey, women reported that their most recent short term sex partners (time taken before going to bed) were the more muscular and athletic men. That will mean that muscular men take a much shorter time dating a woman before taking her to bed.

These findings may draw to the conclusion that women are subconsciously attracted to men with muscular and fit bodies because they find these men sexually irresistible. The maternal instinct of wanting the best genes for their offspring is overwhelmingly displayed.

For all you guys who pooh poohed at these findings, just ask yourself whether do you have women queuing up for you? If not, then why not give these ideas a try out and go and workout to get an Adonis Index body and see for yourself what a difference that will make to your sex life?
