Joe Wicks yesterday. Shows he’s human I suppose. You don’t get to keep a bod like that without working out regularly it seems. And the pies probably didn’t help!

I'm hoping to make passion flower tea.
It's supposed to be mildly calming.

Lizbethann55 Sat 02-Apr-22 23:52:02

My preference would be something between the two!

MissAdventure Sat 02-Apr-22 23:54:54

I've posted this before, but what the heck.
My preference is always up for further scrutiny.

Don’t know who he is MissAdventure but what a guy! Love those muscles!

GagaJo Sun 03-Apr-22 00:45:00

Blimey Miss A. He likes his art.

My top totty would be Obama. Male feminist. Mmmm

MissAdventure Sun 03-Apr-22 00:46:07

He was a S.A.S member, too.
I can't remember what programme he was on but he is tough as nails.

I can’t stand a skinny man there is nothing more off putting.

Especially if his thighs are thinner than yours.?

Photos taken of him collecting his MBE medal on Wednesday

Exactly

My friend once described going to bed with a skinny man as like tripping over a bicycle in a dark hallway. grin

My sons are opposite ends of the spectrum. So wish they'd meet in the middle!

Casdon Sun 03-Apr-22 10:36:36

Rather a skinny man than a fat one, surely? I do prefer somebody who looks after themself. Not that Joe falls into either category, before or after eating all the pies.

Depends what you call skinny.
If it means weak and weedy-looking, with macaroni arms, give me a chunkier bloke every time!

Casdon Sun 03-Apr-22 10:46:05

I can’t think of anybody I know at all with macaroni arms over the age of 30 Witzend. A few are slim and fit, but not skinny in the way you mean ie in the right weight range for their height and age. I can think of many overweight and grossly overweight men though sadly.

LauraNorderr Sun 03-Apr-22 10:46:09

Not my cup of tea either MissAdventure but could be an occasional martini iyswim.

MissA His name is Ant Middleton he has the S.A.S programmes as you said similar to Bear Grilles but far more attractive.

JaneJudge Sun 03-Apr-22 11:15:41

He still looks quite muscular

One of my sons is into weight lifting and constant gym going and tbh I worry about it all a bit. To show some of those muscles in the first Joe picture, you have to not eat for several days

Honeysuckleberries Sun 03-Apr-22 11:27:58

I seem to remember this happening before. Doesn’t he do this most years? Perhaps I’ve lost the plot, wouldn’t be at all surprised.

BlueSky Sun 03-Apr-22 11:47:07

In my case looks, size or age are immaterial. My men have to have a certain ‘Je ne sais quoi’, never fancied beefcakes. (Perhaps because I’m a veggie!) wink

snowberryZ Sun 03-Apr-22 12:23:26

First pic. Ooh la la!?
Second pic. ? proper dad bod.

Can't stand fat chubby men.
Or overly skinny ones.
But would prefer a man to be on the firm skinny fit muscularside to fat.
We all have personal preferences I suppose.

Get yourself sorted Joe!grin

HowVeryDareYou Sun 03-Apr-22 18:13:37

I prefer the "after" version of Joe Wicks! He's got a very handsome face, too.

PECS Tue 05-Apr-22 08:44:24

Overworked "gym" muscles are really unattractive to me. Good job as I am sure my blancmange body style is unappealing to muscular men! ?

My OH weighed about 8 stone! He would not have stood a chance with you! smile

I don't like a man who has better hair than me smile
