It has to do with the type of chick... here, a lot of 'em are "hippie-ish" and I think that kind of chick in general doesn't like muscles and abs as much. But most women do. If they didn't, no one would care about looking good/getting in shape.
The fact that he was mental has nothing to do with the 6 pack. He could have not had a 6 pack and still been mental.
Perhaps, perhaps not. I'd say I would date about 2% of the men I've met who have had 6packs. In fact, I can only think of one off the top of my head. The rest of the men I've met who have had 6packs have been arrogant assholes who spend way too much time at the gym. Yes, there are plenty of assholes out there who don't have 6packs. But, I tend to avoid those chiseled bodies because they far too rarely contain persons I would want to have a conversation with. The proportion of nice guys to assholes among those with less chiseled bodies (some pudge or flab) has been much more favorable, in my experience. As for the girls at your school -- as someone already noted, they are young. They are still worried about what is "cool", what will impress their friends. They don't yet have the life experience to know what really matters.
well... muscles used to be a turn off for me, i was more into the heroin addict type ( this might sound odd to americans haha... it was thanks to british rock and movies)- bed hair, a bit skinny, nice cheekbones and eyes blaahblaah ( like young richard ashcroft or johnny depp on crack) but now that i should be more grown up and less shallow - the right haircut and cheekbones are not the most important things in the world-... you know. so after few long and meaningful serious relationships my taste in men has changed. for some weird reasons i've started to like 6packs And big cocks ! oh i get worse with every year! nevermind
Six packs are eh. I prefer a guy with a flat, smooth stomach but not necessarily a six pack. As for six packs on women: eww. I'm not that into the muscle-y guys.
As long as the guy, or girl, isn't fat, then its all good. I think anything outside of natural musculature is kind of a turn off, I gotta wonder if he/she is paying more attention to me or themselves
