There's is nothing attractive about beckhams body at all! He is all skin n bone tbh.

Aesthetically I think there is,
form follows function and his body is built to run for 90 minutes, essentially that's what primal man is all about - hunting, therefore he represents the peak of the human male body type.
A BB can lift a big rock, in terms of evolution that's a bit of a dead end IMO, therefore in terms of nature it's just a pointless freak. Just like having a 17" knob is alpha male but still freaky and pointless.

The only reason people still do this is because we associate strength with power, and power with virility. But the real world no longer operates on tossing dinosaurs around and instead runs on who has the most money. Women/gays may still find huge muscles attractive(???) but that's still just messing about with mating triggers.

Hunting is about running for 90 mins?
I bet beckham wouldn't last 2 events in a strong man contest. Not because of the weight, but because of the muscles that are used.

Are either the pinnacle of hunters? No. Somewhere in between would be. Neither would be good at each others sport because they train for function in their given sport.
So to compare the two is silly.

I agree. The number of women who would prefer Beckham's body type would far outweigh the ones who would chose a 120kg monster. I'd say most of them would pick someone like Ryan Reynolds who seems to have packed on some decent size in recent years.

I don't know any women who like the "bursting out of their XL shirt" look, but there's bound to be a few out there though.

No real shape, no real muscle mass. Just low weight and low body fat.

RR has sorted himself out a good body tbh.
 
Woman liking men with Ruhl size bodies and woman liking a Beckham body is the same thing with men who like woman with big breats or small breasts. What ever floats your boat I guess.

One thing for sure though, pro bodybuilding is sleazy. Some of the things bbers have to do to afford their life style is weird. Just look up "kai greene grapefruit". On google. Be warned though.

well it's sure not standing there looking at a big rock :D

yes he is,
what do native Africans look like? they still hunt - yep, they all have the body type of Beckham - bodies built to run after animals and chuck spears at them all day long.

I'm not sure why you think I'm comparing them, I'm just saying that Beckham is actually what we are supposed to look like, packing on 10st of muscle is both pointless in terms of aesthetics and evolution. Just because something is possible doesn't make it a good idea.
 
hmmm yes Beckham is looking skinny there, unfortunately that's what many women seem to prefer these days. I suppose many guys don't have the genetics to look like Ryan Reynolds... I'm aiming for the Sebastian Chabal look (smaller beard though!)

Not true, inter human combat is aided by big muscles :p (well at least it used to be)

Am sure thats not the case, how would he have carried half a woolly mammoth home to that half starved wench of his. :p
 
Humans are natural endurance runners, and we are actually quite exceptional at it. We are quite weak in the animal kingdom in terms of strength to size, in fact I think a lot of monkeys are physically smaller than us but much stronger.

To talk about the 'natural' human build, it would be a lot closer to David Beckham than any body-builder or power-lifter. That isn't to say there's anything wrong with that though, we 'defy' our origins every time we slip on pants for example. :p

If you had any idea about powerlifting you would not have included them in that tbh :P

A powerlifter, who is closer to a beckham build than the build everyone seems to think power lifters have. He's also a dam good runner IIRC

Jesus LOL. :D

Seems that OP may have a point, starting to see a lot of rent boys popping up in the meat head business!

Fair enough I probably should have used the phrase 'stereotype', although semantics aside that wasn't point now was it...
