The Most Attractive Body Type (According To Science)

I surveyed 50,000 people to find out if being stronger, leaner and more muscular increases dating success, happiness in a relationship, and overall attractiveness. I’ll also share what I found to be the single most important factor for securing a happy long-term relationship.

-------------------------------

0:00 - I surveyed 50,000 people
1:46 - Do more plates equal more dates?
4:09 - Do women prefer a six pack or a dad bod?
6:50 - Is more muscle actually attractive?
11:20 - The thing I missed

In my experience more rejected dates means more plates

[steve_santiago]

My first thought was that guys who lie about how much they bench will also lie about how many women they slept with.

The biggest issue with this whole study is that the people you asked were already in a gym. Meaning they are more fitness focused. Go out onto the streets and conduct the same exact polling and you will likely be surprised at the results.

As Dr. Mike once said. I train to reach the point women will look at me and say "eww".

Alternatively, the people most likely to exaggerate their bench number will also exaggerate their partner count

“I didn’t ask any questions about height” you ain’t slick Jeff 😏

What women say in a study and then actually do IRL is two very, very different things.

What people say they like doesn’t always match their actions

[tonys]

There's an inherent issue with surveying people on what qualities they find attractive: people will tend to avoid answering in a way that makes them seem shallow.
Even in anonymous surveys, people will typically feel guilty answering that they find someone being physically attractive more important than them being kind.

The cut to Kinobody after narcissistic was poetic

I just want to say, these videos are getting so good. I mean, they’re always solid, but this one is just so well done.

[heyandrums]

As much as I love Jeff, I do feel like some of the data here might be misleading because his research was conducted in a gym, and thus his sample group is not representative of the entire population. Especially for questions like asking women what level of muscle is most attractive, it's extremely likely there'll be a correlation between the fitness levels of the women themselves and their preferred fitness level for partners. I know he does address it later in the video but it kinda invalidates some conclusions he made in the first bit of the video.

[Ben.Stevenson]

Jeff is genuinely making the world a better place. Pushes people to work out but not be narcissistic. Shows the importance of kindness and intelligence. Makes us realize we're all going to be ok

Everything boiled down to Ryan Reynolds at the end. What a legend he is.

[andysauro]

There's a difference between "Nice" and "Kind"
Kindness is a general state of being.
Nice is actions you do for others. Nice actions can be self-serving (or deemed "clingy/needy")
Kind > Nice
Be Kind.

There's a major problem with asking people their opinions: they can lie. I would rate your results based on correlation as far more reliable and relevant than what people say they like.

that laugh at 0:30 is true pain. I feel you man

[acethefiredragon]

I find it interesting how women prefer the aesthetics of level 2 and 3 muscular body physique, but the guys with level 8 strength in bench, squat and deadlift (who's 100% a level 5 muscular physique) has had the most amounts of dates/relationships.

This scientist is getting outta hand.. i love it
