Women were shown a series of male bodies and they had to rate
separately how attractive they found them and how strong they believed
the bodies were.

The results: more muscular, more "shredded" bodies (more visible
musculature as a result of low body fat) were considered both the most
attractive and the strongest.

But it appears that in social scenarios women usually lie about this
to appear less shallow or to conform to social expectations of them.
"All bodies are beautiful", "I don't actually care about looks", "Dad
bods are actually sexy", you know what we're talking about.

This is a discussion but also a Question4Women: Do you lie about what
kind of men you find attractive? Do you do it to avoid social backlash
against you or to avoid hurting men who might hear you?
