Re: What is the appeal of big muscles?

Exactly. Attraction is subjective and personal. Sometimes there may be conscious reasons, but I think most of the time we just like what we like. It isn't like I think muscles are innately more attractive anymore than I think blonde hair is innately more attractive. Those are just things that attract me.

And totally agree on Hemsworth and Evans. Those two are about the ideal in terms of what I like. Not much more than that, but also not a whole lot less.

That's how I feel. I believe most either find it visually appealing or don't, and that's the important factor.

Personally, I have looked at muscular guys and thought, "Wow, they could man-handle me easily", and that's a thing. To some people that would be a turn off instead of a turn on, so like you say, it's an extremely personal thing.

For the most part though, I just like the look of muscle. It doesn't have to be bulky, and I think Hemsworth and Evans are actually more muscular than most men I find attractive; I tend to like slimmer guys with subtle, solid muscles just as well (if not more, in some cases). And women can rock muscle too, of course. (I saw a picture of Natalie Dormer on tumblr today and was surprised at how fit her legs looked. Surprised, and pleased.)
