I was wondering what posters of both genders thought about this. 
My partner has gained a little weight and no longer goes to the gym and is suddenly worried he needs a sixpack!
I actually prefer him with a bigger stomach that I enjoy cuddling up to and don't think it harms his attractiveness at all, quite the opposite.
I sometimes think men who take the working out thing too far can look absurd and that it its is not sexy in the slightest. But on the other hand you have Adonis like males like sublime model David Gandy
So yes men having a toned physique is good but any further can be quite a turn off
I am obviously not advocating men letting themselves go or being obese but I think men who overdo the muscles is not sexy in the slightest.
What do other posters think?

I work out for me
That's a good way to look at things
I saw this on Room 101 the other night.

Something doesn't look right there!
I would only really like a six pack on a bigger built man.
To me he just looks a bit emaciated. He doesn't have much muscle at all.
Everyone I know pretty much says I'm obsessed with my diet though lol.
I say yeah you keep the kebabs & gut pal and I will worry about myself myself!
Bodybuilding quote...
'Obsessed is a word used by the lazy to describe the dedicated'.
As long as you're happy, that's all that matters.
People say the same about me. Especially my best friend. She rolls her eyes whenever I mention calories, but I can't help it. People try to tempt me into eating bad food a lot too, which is annoying.
Oh indeed
I wouldn't like my fella to have one of those ghastly beer guts so many blokes have, it's vile to me, and I'd find them less physically attractive... It always seems to me the onus is on women so much, to be slim... But I see far more lardy blokes with slimmer women than I do vice versa... I do think the 'big gut' blokes are older generations more often, where diet and drink is catching up with age!
But at my age and my looks I can hardly say it's a 'dealbreaker' lol, in fact in real life rather than looking through a celebrity magazine, Id say it's not that important at all.
A six pack and muscles can look good but it's no good if it comes with the face that's hit every branch on the ugly tree (andy from emmerdale)
A good face is no good on a pencil thin body
It's all about the whole package, luckily my OH has it all ^_^
I'd never heard of David Gandy but obviously had to Google him in the interests of research
I mentioned Calvin because obviously he's worked hard in the gym to get that bod, but not obsessively so, you can tell from the pics he's still a fun guy... The model just looks up himself lol.
It's still all about magazine pic though, none of my boyfriends even going back to my twenties have been model specimens and it's never been an issue for me.
I find a really pronounced six pack a bit of a turnoff actually. A healthy hint of one but decently covered looks pretty on a young man, but I don't want to climb on top of it and give it some playful slap and tickle.
But hey, takes all sorts thank goodness.:D
