I just found a guy that I went to highschool with on facebook. In highschool, he was a scrawny, geeky thing. but now he looks like this:

*this is not him. this is a Google image. don't flame me. ![]()
anyway, I found it disgusting and not a bit attractive. and the pics were defintley not photoshopped. What do you think? Sexy? or just gross?
Re: NBR: do you think this is attractive?
This. Hands down.

Yes, definitely gross.

That is so not my thing. I've worked with lots of doormen that looked like that. Most of the time they are on steroids, and are grumpy from that and not eating much other than chicken, rice, and raw carrots. I just don't understand the attraction to do those competitions. They don't seem like fun.
Ewwwwww. I am so not into muscles. Honestly, I guess I'm a bit extreme, because I don't even find generally buff guys attractive at all. If you could crack my skull with your thighs, you creep me out. I like my men tall and wimpy.
Okay... Not wimpy, because DH is really strong. But he's really skinny. I guess I long lean muscles. Not ones shaped like melons.
I am a certified personal trainer and have been to many shows and have even thought about doing a figure competition...
Those pictures are from the show...he will only look like that for the show. They deplete their bodies water....even drink alcohol just before the show so that they look more vascular....they also put this nasty, nasty cream stuff on that gives them that orange color...they do that because it creates shadows to give even more muscle depth.
After the show, the guys PIG out...and I mean...these guys calories have been cut down so low the few days before the show that they just go insane with eating afterward. After the show they go back to a normal (healthy) lifestyle and drink water...they will not look like they do in the show..they'll look muscular and in shape....they'll look good.
But to answer your original question...no, I don't find that to look attractive (show day) but I LOVE looking at it because it is freaking amazing!
My friend's fiance is a body builder and he looks built but relatively normal on regular days and then he looks like that on show days. I find that like in OP's pic to be disgusting, but I do like guys that have some beef to them. I don't like guys that are super skinny/lean.
its a sport. he is an athlete.
bodybuilders dont look like that all the time. they pick a show, train for the show, diet intensly, and do practice specific poses. after the show, the eat normally, hydrate and look normal. maybe still muscular for your tastes, but not like that.
