Wow, I know I'm stunned by this amazing revelation: "women like muscular guys". I can only imagine what the next amazing "study" will reveal: "men like women with breasts" or something equally incredible.

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Muscular young men are likely to have more sex partners than their less-chiseled peers, researchers at the University of California Los Angeles said on Monday.
Their study, published in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, suggests muscles in men are akin to elaborate tail feathers in male peacocks: They attract females looking for a virile mate.
"Women are predisposed to prefer muscularity in men," said study author David Frederick of UCLA.

I'm still reeling from this unexpected finding. -tb
But read the caveat:
Women were more physically attracted to brawny men, especially for a fling. [span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"]But when it comes to finding a long-term partner, they tend to pick a regular man over a mate with huge biceps. [/span]
Frederick and colleagues also asked 141 college women to look at six standardized silhouettes of men ranging from brawny to slender. [span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"]Most preferred a toned man who was more likely to commit over a muscle-bound man they perceived as more volatile, aggressive and dominant.[/span]
Hmmm.... interesting.
I think most women prefer a man that's well-built, though not overtly muscular but enough to know that he would take care (or at least give the impression) of her and her offsprings. It's survival of the fittest, I guess.
Most men would choose anything in a skirt. (//vny!://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/2.gif) (just kidding there, guys!)
