Men: smart looks vs muscular build

21M business student here again. Just thought I would ask if most women appreciate smart looking guys or muscular guys more. I went to the gym today to fix my winged scapula (caused by too much studying) and boy did I end up confidence broken after seeing the muscles of the other dudes.

Muscular guys 8
Smart guys 11

    There’s no such thing as “most women”...

    They, like men, all have completely different taste.

    The sooner you figure this out the sooner you’ll relax and get laid.

    looking smart doesn't mean you are smart. being muscular doesn't mean you aren't smart. i'd prefer muscular because at least they are in shape, and take care of their body. and they don't have to be super buff, just in shape.

    What is "smart looking"? I love my fiance because of how intelligent and sweet he is, but he is also very handsome, inside and out. Big dimples and big blond curls ^_^

    You're going to be more critical of your own looks than any woman will, trust me. Men care a lot more about looks than women do, there seems to be a disconnect between how women actually are and how men think we operate. But whenever I point this out I have men telling me *I* am completely incorrect, and they understand my motivations and behavior better than I ever could.

    You can be in good shape and look sharp too.

    Good shape does not have to mean huge obvious muscles...

    Muscles are a turn off I prefer smart looking men

    It doesn’t matter. Just as long as they’re more masculine than me and can carry a conversation.

    Well, a mix of both is perfect. If I had to choose tho, I'd say that intelligence is more important to me. I'm not a fan of really ripped guys, so a smart guy with a healthy weight and a bit of visible muscle is enough for my standards.

    how do you "look" smart? glasses? I know many dudes who work out and are still smart. I think thats like asking "would you rather have guys that look good or are nice" like those two aren't mutually exclusive. You can be both. smart guys can work out too?

    If you really do want an honest opinion about yourself, there's a subreddit specifically dedicated to getting that sort of information. You would think that the people there would be inclined to lie, but people often get honest opinions.

    The general consensus is that as long as...
    A: You aren't fat.
    B: You have clear skin.
    C: You aren't medically deformed.
    ...you'll at least rank a 5.

    If you really are concerned about your appearance you need more than "Do people prefer this or this?" Go browse r/RateMe even for a little bit and you'll see each person, with the exception of the very attractive women, are getting varying responses regardless.

    The most common responses from women (or even men attracted to men) is that facial hair, hair styling, and clothing go a long way.

    dudes on a discord server that sound like little puny dudes and ttalk about how girls love for them to be bottoms and eat their own cum. I think they just say that to make themselves feel better

    I think there are people out there who are both muscular, and intelligent looking. I'm not a fan of King Kong types, or squirrelly, little, nerdy types.
