I have a thesis:
Fit men* with sixpack abs get women easily than men without.

Any truth to this? Voice your opinions!
(I believe: I believe this to be true.)

Depends on what kind of woman you're after.

'men without' is a broad term, are we taking about guys in good shape but not very defined muscles? or are we talking about men in bad shape, kinda flabby.

Personally I believe men are the same as woman, in that they shouldn't be objectified by the opposite gender or by social standards. Chances are, if you like a girl and she doesn't like you because of your physical flaws, then you should count your blessings because she was likely not the one for you. The kind of woman you should look for is, as I like to put it sometimes, a 'Belle' (yes, I am getting all Beauty and the Beast up in here); a Belle is a woman who looks past your physical self and likes/loves the person you are inside.

But I suppose to answer the question more directly, I do feel most woman prefer a well sculpted male. It may also stem from survival instinct, more fit looking male = more likely to survive, survival of the fittest logic. But as Falcon said, it depends on the woman.

it only matters to people who place value on personal appearance

This thesis is based that the man and woman have no communication, nor have they met before. The attraction between two individuals of opposite sex would then be a mix of "how they act" + "physical appearance"?
Since personallity is not an equation to this, inner beauty and whatnot is not a topic of discussion for this thesis.

[See] -> [Interact] -> [Friendship] -> [++]

Would not chance of communication (chance of interaction) be higher between the physical fit man and other women, than other men? I should do an experiment with this... hmm..

Again, it depends on the woman.

Men and women who take great pride in their physical appearance and make great effort to maintain that are generally attracted to those who do the same.

Personally, I'm attracted to personality more than anything. And I know there are plenty of other people who are as well.

Now am I saying that there is no limit to the physical appearance of a person most would date? No. But nor am I saying that it's based solely on this either.

You can see why it's hard to make a blanket statement about this. There's a lot of variables that will lead to your thoughts jumping around quite a bit.

charisma goes a lot further than a six pack.

and as Fal said depends on the woman.

No aki it doesn't hurt to have a six pack and I always encourage people to get in shape, trust me it helps with self-confidence, immunity, and general well being.

However, when finding a girl you want one who doesn't care as much about the physical aspect. If a girl is only interested in my abs then she isn't interested in something real (at least that's my philosophy). However when finding a true significant other that is only a small aspect
