For a long time, many people have thought that the definition of the ideal male body is having six-pack abs, a broad chest, and a strong back. Terms like “skinny” or “overweight” are certainly never considered the norm. However, that is the general perception, but in reality, what is the “dream” body shape of men that many girls actually prefer? To answer this question, a YouTuber recently decided to conduct a survey to find the most accurate answer.

It must be emphasized that each girl will have a different ideal model, both in terms of a man’s physique and personality. However, this survey only focused on the former, and the YouTuber painstakingly created 9 different body shape models of men and conducted random interviews with girls, then shared the results across online communities in various countries. The body shapes presented were quite diverse, ranging from extremely skinny to perfectly fit and even to those who are somewhat “overweight” as well.

According to the results, both the YouTuber and countless ordinary people, sometimes even men, were surprised. The most chosen answers were numbers 3 and 4 – body shapes that are fit and healthy, neither too skinny nor too big. This was not too surprising. However, interestingly, right behind that was body shape number 2 – a somewhat skinny model. Nonetheless, most women agreed with the point that having too much muscle is unnecessary and can sometimes even be a burden.

This is perhaps quite different from the common perception of men, who always try to spend time in gyms to build their muscles as large and fit as possible. However, witnessing this survey, maybe we should gradually change our thinking. It’s not always about having big muscles to score points in the eyes of women.
