And no..I’m not talking about a six pack of beer…although that probably increases your chances of getting laid too. Hump day newsflash: men with muscles get more sex than men without them!

A study by the University of California found that young men with muscles are likely to have more sex with partners than non muscular men. Muscles in men it seems are like elaborate tail feathers in male peacocks. They attract both females and males looking for a virile mate. So a six pack is a not a sign of long hours at the gym or a fat free diet…but fertility!

Women and gay men seem to be predisposed to prefer muscularity in men the study author said. I love how science can really explain everything. So forget how much money he makes or whether he can commit, it’s al about the six pack!

The study did find that muscles may be sexy and more muscle may mean more flings but on average women preferred a man who could commit over one that looked like a body builder. On the other hand, gay men always went with the more muscular guy! (Just kidding!)

I’ve always had a love/hate relationship with muscle boys, the most prevalent type of gay men in Sydney and the world. On one hand I love to look at them and shag them but I hate the fact that I could never be one….I’d like to blame genetics. I’m destined to be a slim twink…as long as I watch those donuts!

The reality is that although a six pack is nice to look at it…it won't make you laugh or comfort you when you are sad. It probably won't keep you interested and probably won’t love you…we’ve all had experiences with muscle boys…and they usually move on to another six pack.
