Abs

Physical/body capital.

His abs indicate he's a good thruster.

It's an evolutionary cue, showing that the guy's fit to breed.

Tight, athletically cut abs are a sign of a tight, milk-inducing gut muscles.

.

It is odd. This seems to be a new phenomenon. If you look at old Playgirls etc. abs don't seem to be a big deal.

I think I feel the same way about them that straight guys thing about women's breasts. Like I want to do stuff to them.

I believe they suggest massive amounts of gushing cum.

Possessing defined abs generally means a guy will have a narrow midsection, which can accentuate your chest and shoulders, thus giving one the aesthetically pleasing "V" taper.

They're overrated. I'd rather something cushiony to rest my head on while blowing a guy. And no one over 30 maintains them without an eating disorder.

You're an idiot. They have nothing to do with that. I come like Peter North and I haven't seen my abdominal muscles in 20 years.

I find abs creepy and reptilian.

I find them nothing, they signify that the person is either totally anal-retentive or a lettuce picker for a living.

or is a her ion addict. no thanks

I find them insectoid.

I also find guys with them are often misshapen and stringy looking.

they are hot

Wow

I'm 35, and abs are way too hard to maintain. I'm hoping I can flatten my abdomen so that it isn't flabby. But I like eating.

The abs Nazis can go fuck themselves. "I have an eight-pack, and you should too." Fuck off and die.

The fatter we get the more valuable a sculpted torso...what is rare increases in value.

When everybody was skinny, plumpness was a symbol of wealth. We've flipped, that's all.

When I see a sculpted torso now, I see a big ego. Not sexy anymore...

OP: What's appealing about defined abs? The same thing that's appealing about biceps--just a different part of the body.

Abs show muscles, masculinity, dedication to keeping oneself fit and trim. For the post above that said most Playgirl models didn't show abs years ago. That may be true, but that's easily explained in that working out has become more of a phenomenon and way of life than it was 20-30-40 years ago. Maybe not by the masses but by some who create the standard of what's attractive.

If working out were easy--everyone would do it.

Abs indicate low body fat, which is correlated to physical stamina, strength, and power.

whew

unreal

Guys lifting their shirts to look at their abs in the mirror in the gym is lame and unsexy.

Abs. Lots of 'em.

And, here are 8 more. . . .

I like a fit, trim man, but don't find sculpted ads attractive in the slightest.

Whoops! Abs, not ads.

I'd like to see some sculpted ads.

ripped

Brolic

Those baggy shorts are a turn-off.

The most I ever got was a 4 pack and that was when I was a runner.

It's way to hard to maintain

I hate the ones with the sun-hardened skin

R30, are you posting from 1970, man?

Men with beautiful bodies deserve better than to be draped in shapeless sacks.

This is an 8-pack... damn bro!

Yes abs are hot

Sure, if you have 2+ hours a day, every day, plus youth and great genetics. Imagine if men actually used that time to improve their minds or at least something useful?

Just a flat stomach is fine. The six, twelve eighteen pack abs are a turnoff.

It suggests someone who is dehydrated and prone to kidney stones as a result.

Does r36 count as a 6-pack, 8-pack or what? How far up do you count? How far down do you count?

I love pecs, big arms and a nice set of legs, but abs do nothing for me.

Here's Nick Zano proving you can have a flat tummy with just the hint of abs and still be sexy as fuck.

The orphans of Darfur have abs.

R40, that's an 8 pack. Some people only have 4, regardless of how little day they have.

May not be the best abs, but James DeLuca's are pretty much perfect. As well as the rest of him.

Oops, John not James
