Perhaps most surprising, the starving sex icon Ville Valo beat out Frank Zane, the king of bodybuilding aesthetics. It’s worth noting, though, that even though Henry Rollins is relatively thin in that photo, he’s known for lifting weights and being disciplined with his routine. However, what surprised me was that Henry Rollins’ thin physique took second place, outperforming the athletes and bodybuilders.
His physique in Fight Club is famous for precisely that reason: because both men and women love how it looks. It’s no big surprise that Brad Pitt was rated as having the most attractive male body. There are some interesting findings here. (Evidently, there’s still some shifting to do before he lines up with what women are attracted to.) Olympia winner Frank Zane-famous for shifting the bodybuilding world away from mass and towards aesthetics. In last place, with just 1% of the vote, we have three-time Mr. The MMA fighter comes next, with 10% preferring his physique and 37% saying he was attractive. In second place, we’ve got the musician Henry Rollins, with 12% of women chose him as their favourite, and 42% of women said he had an attractive physique. Even the women who didn’t vote for him still found him attractive, with 87% of women said he had a sexy physique. Lesson #1: Strong Beats Muscleboundīrad Pitt was rated as having the sexiest male body by 73% of women.
Women thought that Brad Pitt looked strong and healthy, whereas they thought Ryan Reynolds looked like a fitness model, assuming he must be obsessed with his appearance.Īlong with covering which male bodies and physical traits were rated as the most attractive by women, we’ll also cover which physiques men found the most impressive and what level of leanness and muscularity guys were most eager to achieve. But what was so special about this particular body type?Īfter all, Ryan Reynolds is only slightly leaner and more muscular than Brad Pitt, and yet those tiny changes made a dramatic difference (for the worse). On the other hand, Brad Pitt’s headless body (as Tyler Durden in Fight Club) performed incredibly well in the photo arrays, being rated extremely attractive by both men and women, showing some overlap between male and female preferences. However, when we cropped his head off and placed his body in a line-up, they told us he was overly lean and musclebound. For example, when we asked women which celebrity had the most attractive body, the most popular response was Ryan Reynolds. There were some surprises for women, too. (We’ve since confirmed these results with a second survey using illustrations instead of photos.) It quickly became apparent that most men were trying to build bodies that women didn’t even find attractive, let alone ideal. Then we asked men to guess which bodies the women had picked. We created several photo arrays and asked women to rate which male bodies they found the most attractive. To do this, we ran an informal study, surveying over 1000 people to see which bodies they preferred. We wanted to figure out which male body types women would find the most attractive, as well as which body types men thought women would find the most attractive.
