Why do I keep hearing that "too much muscle" is bad?

Even if it was true, which it isn't, "too much muscle" is going to take you so much time and effort that you will know way before you get there if it's attractive or not. So go lift. Don't be like fat women who say the reason they don't exercise is because they don't want to look like a man.

Sour grapes.

Don't listen the bullshit women say, pay attention to what they do.

Treat it as a shit test.

"Too much muscle mass is unattractive"

"I know, that's my goal" or "U mirin"

Too much is the guy's on muscle magazines that are obviously on fuck tons of roids and dehydrated to near death. Anything you can get without roids by definition can't be too big. So unless you are on roids ignore.

That doesn't mean however that you shouldnt focus to balance your body.

If you are on roids evaluate if perhaps you have bigarexia

That idea is bullshit. Usually I've found that plates you're spinning are intimidated by your gains. They don't understand that guys aren't motivated by hypergamy. All they can see is improvement which = you getting a higher SMV partner. This is low level dread projected outward.

because you are hanging with the wrong people

As long as you don't use steroids, you really shouldn't worry about getting too muscular. You will reach your natural limit long before that.

It's true that an aesthetic physique is more pleasing to the eye, but evolutionary talking the biggest caveman had more chances to kill the "aesthetic" caveman, and rape his woman. Or am I wrong here?

You didn't have jacked cavemen walking around. Whey and gyms weren't a thing back then. Humans are tribal. Influence over other men was power. That's what social status and dominance is about.

What I'm trying to understand is, would women really prefer a lean guy instead of a big strong guy? Or are they saying it because it underlies something that could harm their ego? like the incapability to get such guy to fuck them because their value is probably too low?

Women have types just like men. We both want the other to be fit as a minimum requirement though. Some women love the super bulky jacked look and others don't. I actually don't prefer women who are super fit (like you can see their abs). It turns me off. Makes sense to me women would have slight variations in taste too. Some of them are definitely just protecting their ego for sure.

As others have said, when non-lifters talk of "too much muscle", they are usually referring to Kai Greene and other roid freaks. Look up Connor Murphy, David Laid, Merijn...guys with the kinds of bodies that women consider ideal, even if they don't claim to.

Muscle is useless if you're also fat, if you are decently low body fat, the more muscle the better. Women love veins and being able to see the muscle, even if they talk shit and say they dont.

What they mean by "too much muscle is unattractive" is this: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/-NiS_ocvgeE/maxresdefault.jpg

Which is true.
