If you’re a man looking for a one-night stand, it may be time to hit the gym. Research has revealed that women prefer more muscular men for their frisky flings and short-term romances. The results of the University of Arkansas study found most of the participants preferred muscular males for an X-rated rendezvous—but not for a long-term relationship.
“Women associate muscles with being fit and healthy,” said one of the researchers, adding, “However, in a long-term context, it was important to find a kind person who will support his family [beyond physicality].” The new study echoes a similar 2007 study that found chiseled men are likelier to have more sex partners than thinner men. But there’s good news for nice guys: after interviewing the women, the researchers concluded that humor helps men build long and substantial relationships.
