Is 170-180 6Ft the Ideal? Historically and Contemporarily Considered?

In this age of the 180lb average female weight, you will appear weak
But that's only a superficial view
At that slim weight, you can still be more than moderately strong
You can have excellent explosive power and unmatched endurance
You can go far distances on very little food very fast
You're not heavy to where balance or long term health is sacrificed
You will have a classical boxy physique and not a tinny short abdomen region
Of course misc doesn't care about any of that and few people do
Especially in this modern age of bloats mogging everywhere

It's terrific, right? So you know, I am in heaven."

Think about it, maybe I'm confused, but if you're too heavy or too tall or both, can you do so without your body shutting down from lack of nutrients?
Maybe someone could explain?

SilenceSpeaks thinks 6’5” 250 lbs is ideal. I’ll trust a female’s opinion.

I agree. I remember watching a documentary about a statue of Poseidon that was discovered underwater that had impossible bone structure and proportions

Yes. If you're those dimensions and have low bodyfat you're probably able to lift as heavy as other dudes in the gym that are much heavier, but you can still run respectable times. A build like most track sprinters is often idealized for good reason. Up to 190 if you have very powerful, built legs. Beyond that it doesn't matter if it's all muscle, you can't move as well even if you're on gear.
Yeah Buddyyy! Light weight! Light weight baby!!!!

Very athletic males tend to be 185lbs at 6 ft. But consider that lean and dense. Muscle bellies are full and the body is balanced. With PEDs, it’s just created a new “normal” of “big” and strong.

A good example is to look at fighters.

Probably depends on overall leanness and structure. Along with what you consider ideal.


I'm 5'8 192lbs and I really don't feel like I've peaked yet. Goal is a lean 200lbs.

henry cavil was 200lbs in superman when he was what people considered "jacked" at the time, but I think that definition has changed and most women will see this as just a pretty good body for a guy who goes to the gym a good amount now.
Standing just over 6 feet tall and weighing around 90kg, he requires more calorie consumption than your average dude. In fact, when preparing for the role of Superman, he claimed to eat up to 5000 calories per day!
This was him




This is probably what the most top quality women would see as the most "sexy" male body, akin to a woman like Angie Verona for us with perfect Ds and a nice ass and perfect legs/tiny waist.

I would guess this is what 6 2 220 would look like, also what the guy in Euphoria girls are going crazy over would look like as a peaked 22 year old male , THIS is the alpha chad slayer who will steal your girl 10/10 times (no homo)

This MF has the perfect height/structure/physique combo. I'd love to be a manlet version of that. (No Homo)

the best female models aren't the most sexually appealing women to most men

I’m constantly wondering whether I should focus on getting bigger or leaner

Thing is as a natty getting bigger means getting fatter after a certain point

I don’t wanna be DYEL either though
