Becoming fit is one of the toughest challenges that you can overcome in your life, yet it’s the most rewarding. Training on a regular basis, maintaining a good diet, leading a healthy lifestyle, and more is what it takes to achieve this ambitious goal and not everyone can do it. But when you do, it manifests in your body, leaving you with impressive muscles that include, of course, shredded abs. It’s commonly known that girls love guys with abs, but what about the other scenario? In other words, do guys like girls with abs?
Most guys like girls with abs as long as it’s not too much. Having a belly that feels hard to the touch can be unattractive sometimes. However, what’s more attractive is the effort and time that girls invest in keeping their bodies fit.
In this article, we’ll talk about if guys like girls with abs, and the main reasons why they do.

Do Guys Like Girls With Abs?
What I think
Before answering this question, I’ll talk about my own personal experience since I dated a fair amount of girls that were fit, and most of them had a pretty impressive set of abs.
One of them, in particular, had a hobby of mountain climbing, which means that she needed a strong core in order to perform well during her climbs. Having a strong core automatically translates to having a visible six-pack and she had one of the most beautiful and aesthetic-looking abs.
I’m pretty sure that they were bigger and more impressive than mine back then and whenever someone asked me if I liked them, my answer would always be “I love them”.
Although a nice set of abs is impressive on a girl as it is, what’s even more impressive and attractive is the time, effort, and discipline that it took her to reach that point. Compared to guys, getting abs as a girl is a lot harder and requires a lot of sacrifices, and having them is the physical manifestation of working hard to reach a certain goal.
Dating a fit girl is definitely one of the most unique experiences that you’ll have, especially if you both share the same goal and enjoy fitness. Not only will she constantly motivate you to stop being lazy, but she’ll also help you lead a healthier lifestyle overall and get abs yourself if you don’t already have them.
What Most Guys Think [Poll]
Since a biased answer that’s based solely on my own personal experiences probably isn’t a good reflection of what most guys think, I’ve decided to gather opinions from different sources (friends, forums, threads, public) and came up with a large enough sample (a total of 178 opinions) that will give us a general answer to this question.
The opinions were different from one person to another, but they can be generalized into 4 main answers, the question was, “Do you like girls with abs?”:
- I like girls with abs (53)
- It doesn’t make a difference to me (59)
- I don’t like girls with abs (45)
- It’s fine as long as they’re not bigger than mine (21)
Here is a visual representation of the results of this “poll”:
As you can see, having abs as a girl doesn’t make a difference for the majority of guys. Guys that like and dislike them are pretty close but if we take into account the neutral opinions, having abs isn’t really a problem. And there is a small minority of guys that don’t mind girls having abs as long as it’s not bigger them theirs.
Main Reasons Why Guys Like Girls With Abs
There are many reasons why guys like girls with abs:
It’s a Sign of Discipline
As I mentioned in the beginning, getting abs isn’t something that anyone can do and to top it off, it’s even harder for girls to get them since building visible muscles is quite a challenging task for them. It requires a lot of discipline, dedication, and hard work which are all traits guys find attractive.
There’s nothing better than seeing someone that works hard to reach their goals and succeed. It gives you a lot of motivation and desire to be with that someone in order to reach their level.
It’s Aesthetic
There is no denying that abs make you look more aesthetic, especially if you’re a female. As a guy, having a girl with an impressive quality that a lot of others desire feels great. There’s nothing like the feeling of walking next to a fit girl with visible abs, seeing all the attention that she gets from everybody, and feeling even more proud of her.
It’s Motivating
Seeing the amount of work and discipline that a girl undergoes in order to reach a point of having visible abs is hella motivating, especially if you’re dating. No other person has the ability to change your lazy habits than your own partner. She’ll motivate you to get up in the morning and never skip workouts, follow a strict diet, and develop healthy habits that will benefit you your entire life.
Conclusion:
Getting fit and having abs is one of the best things that you can do for your body, so if it’s something that you personally enjoy, you shouldn’t really prioritize male validation or what other people might think of it. Even if you do, an overwhelming majority of guys love girls with abs or it doesn’t make a difference for them anyways.
