This answer closely relates to:

Q. Do guys like long skinny or long muscular legs?
do want a girl with mussle? or a girl who has really skinny legs?

"Muscular legs usually look too bulky to men..."

Ha, an interesting question. It depends on the guy's taste, but usual men (NOT INCLUDING ME, BUT MOST) like a girl with long, skinny legs. Muscular legs usually look too bulky to men. They often appear thick and bulgy- not what a guy wants to see in a gal's legs. Also, some men feel inferior to a girl's legs if they are larger or bulkier than his own. But don't go changing yourself for a guy! If you want muscular legs, go for it! Just telling you that most men find long, thin forelegs and thin, less round femurs attractive. Be sure to shave the foreleg and the theighs if you wear shorts or skirts!

Q. How can i build my body from skinny to muscular? how long does it take?
in the past, i tried to build my body but i failed because after a few months i didn't see any improvement. i drank protein, but i got diarrhea. then i just gave up. are some people destined to be skinny? thanks for the answers.

There are a number of considerations you need to take into account. First, resistance training (weight lifting) can be done either aerobically (lower weight, higher reps), which would produce a longer, leaner muscle mass, or anaerobically (higher weight, lower reps), which would produce a thicker muscle mass. You should consider and visualize how you want to look, and ask yourself if there are athletic functional areas you are focusing in on, or just an overall appearance. If there is a particular functionality you are shooting for, key in on exercises that work the appropriate muscle groups and body motions associated with that activity. Second, I have found that some protein supplements I have taken give me diarrhea, where others don't. I think you have to experiment around until you find the product that works for you. Of course, you want supplements to be just that, supplements to a healthy diet. I'd suggest you do as much reading as possible in bodybuilding magazines as well as talk with people at the gym or others who have the look you are seeking. Building muscle mass is a long-term endeavor that requires patience and consistent effort. In some ways, it is no different than trying to learn a new academic subject, in that there is a learning curve (in physical activities, think results), and everyone's curve is different. Yes, genetic pre-disposition is an important factor. I believe you should always do exercises that are enjoyable and challenging for you. Try not to over train by paying attention to what your body is telling you, and don't overlook rest.

Q. Guys: what kind of legs do guys find most attractive? skinny? muscular? other?
what type of legs do you find most attractive on girls? thick (but not fat)? little extra? curvy? really skinny and long? skinny? muscular or athletic? other?

"But i like long legs to..."

To me it all depends on the body type. I like muscular thighs, but I like long legs to. But really it all is about the woman's inner beauty to me

Q. How can you make long arms more muscular?
i'm 15 and i'm tall but skinny. i've been working out, but my arms are long and the muscle doesn't show as much. how can i pack on more bicep, tricep and deltoid muscle to make my arms look more muscular rather than long and skinny?

You need to lift heavy do 3 sets of 4 to 6 reps for two exercises per muscle group. Then rest that muscle group for 72 hours.

Q. Skinny & long arms. trying to make it look lil muscular?
i workout like 6 days a week. chest twice biceps&triceps twice a week other two days shoulders and then forearms abs thighs. i have a skinny and long biceps.they not muscular but i want them to be. i take like 60g of protien when i workout. 30 before (breakfast and stuff) and 30+ after (protein shake) not counting dinner and lunch i eat. (meat and stuff) so what should i do to get good lookin arms. i put 20lb on each side on the ez bar and do like 6-8 reps 3 sets. and i didnt really do close grip benches before but ima start doin that now. (30lb on each side plus the bar 45lb around 6-8 reps 3 sets) and should i work harder on triceps to make them look good? i work hard on both of em also gimme some good tricep exercises at home to do with 2 30lb dumbbells

"Give your muscles a chance to rest and then they'll grow..."

I think you're working out way too much, and you're overworking your muscles and that's why they're not getting bigger. I suggest taking a week off, but keep eating carbs as well, and get lots of sleep, and see if during that week you see any change. Give your muscles a chance to rest and then they'll grow. After that, work out 4 times a week, but make the workouts harder but not longer, and use heavier weights. And some cardio wouldn't hurt.

Q. Do you find long skinny legs attractive?
i very long legs, 33 inches, and i'm 5 foot 3. they are also very skinny and lean/muscular. do you find this attractive...i know it makes for a good model, but in everyday life it may look odd. and i know how some girls wish they had legs that go on for days, but girls with long legs sometimes wish they were shorter! :) thanks!

"5'8-5'11 you should embrace your long legs..."

editorial & runway models: 5'8-5'11 you should embrace your long legs. flaunt them and be glad that they are yours. it does NOT look "odd". whoever thinks that is an idiot! you're unique and everyone likes different things.

Q. Alrightt so how can i get a long skinny body..rather than all muscular body?
i want to lose another 15 pounds and i really really want to just have very small thighs and a flat six pack stomach. i have almost a 6 pack but i need to have a skinny body type before may 16th. i ccheer lead so i have alot of muscle. i want a skinny body will my bones sticking out. how do i get that? and can i do it by may 16th? im 131 now. and i work out everyday and have been on a diet since january 5th. i was 144. but its so much harder to lose weight now. how can i acheive this goal? i eat a good 1,400-1,500 calories a day. with tons of veggies and fruits.

"I run 6k almost every day and i have..."

The best way is a running program... I run 6K almost every day and I have to eat more to not loose much weight... But go to your doctor first before start, just to make sure you have good heart condition and use good shoes to prevent injuries.

Q. Girls: do you like guys that are long and skinny or guys that are big and muscular?
i generally dont like long, skinny guys but only if they're cute then it's ok and yeah musular guys are good too... what do u think? actually.. i'm changing my mind.. skinny guys are cute too!! awww...

"It's so weird to have muscles basically popping out of your muscles..."

Um...neither. I like the ones in the middle, lol. But if I had to choose, I guess skinny is okay, because buff guys usually scare me. It's so weird to have muscles basically popping out of your muscles. That's just me, though, I'm always the weird one.

Q. Guys: would you go out with a girl who had short, muscular legs are a girl with long, really skinny legs?
me and my friend keep debating about it.

"The i would prefer the muscular legs over the skinny ones...."

It depends on their personality and who they are on the inside. If they are both the same and favorable on the inside, the I would prefer the muscular legs over the skinny ones.
