Hollywood's Leading Man No Longer Has Large Muscles

Remember back in the 80's when Arnold Schwarzenegger was the big action star? He was huge. He basically brought bodybuilding to the mainstream and influenced an entire generation of young guys to want to get as big and muscular as possible. It started with Conan, then the Terminator, Commando, Predator, Twins, and many more action flicks.

The Large Muscle Look Has Never Impressed Women As Much As Men

You see, although many guys wanted to get as big as possible, women had a different idea of what looked great. They wanted their men to look good in dress clothes as well as with their shirts off. Women are physically attracted to the GQ look or lean and slim toned guys, not massive freaky muscular guys. If you ever have seen a soap opera, you will notice that all of the men have average amounts of muscle but with exceptional muscle tone.

I Believe That Fight Club Was The Movie That Changed Everything

Brad Pitt did women a big service in the movie Fight Club. He finally got the message through to many men, that women truly do like the lean and toned look. The year after Fight Club came out Brad Pitt was voted Sexiest Man Alive in People Magazine. The great thing about Fight Club was that it was kind of a soap opera for guys. Tyler Durden did crazy things that we thought were kind of cool in a weird sense. In fact I would say that Fight Club and Top Gun are movies really well written for guys. There is something about these movies that speak to us. So we paid attention to Brad Pitt in this movie. It was actually the first time I respected him as a guy's guy.

Since the late 90's, Many Hollywood Actors Have Begun to Slim Down

Remember how big The Rock used to be? He is now MUCH lighter and looks great. What about Mark Wahlberg or Ryan Reynolds? Both of these guys have really slimmed down and have the sleek and toned look instead of being bulky. Same with Matt Damon. More recently Will Smith really slimmed down for his role in I am Legend. He had to get big and bulky for Ali, but dropped a lot of that mass and really cleaned up his physique for his newest role.

Are You Stuck In The Late 80's and Trying To Get Massive?

Being big and massive is a great way to impress guys in the gym, but won't get you far with women. There is simply a cheesiness factor once you get too big. You can't really achieve a hip look and clothes don't fit well. Ever see a professional football player or professional wrestler in a suit? They look stupid. If you want to be more attractive to the opposite sex, then you may reconsider your goal of getting big muscles. Opt for the lean athletic look instead.
