When I was a young lass I was definitely attracted to guys with muscles. The thing that got me the most, abs. I loved abs! Me and my friend, wow we were hit by hormones.

As I got older abs just became meh to me. Perhaps, I over did it. I was just like, so you have muscles, so what? Then I learned how much they require to maintain and I decided nothing that denies you dessert can be good.

But when I was younger the goal was to get with someone toned and lean. Then when I would think about what couples do naturally I thought… it would be nice to hug and stuff. It seems like its nice from TV and movies.

Then I had a friend who was an athlete and I was like, “Come let’s take pics.” I lightly tapped his leg with my foot. (context we were taking group photos and he was the last one sitting). When I say his leg was a rock.

Further context, he was a runner he was a track star.

His leg was a rock! I tapped him again. He got mildly annoyed but I wasn’t telling him to hurry up anymore. I was wondering how it was possible for a human to feel like a rock!

And y’all wanna cuddle up to that!

I’ll admit, as a weighted blanket that’s nice. Having someone solid lie on you, not bad. But to hug and cuddle up to?! No.

I would not enjoy cuddly if you have zero body fat. I’m sorry, I’m going to need that layer of fat. Give me that farmer body. Give me that sailor body. I need something to keep me warm at night!

I say like I don’t actively reject romance.

I work out now and I mostly do weight training. I want to get stronger so I focus on lifting heavy etc. I don’t diet though, as in I never try to cut or anything. I’ll eat what I need to, to build muscle. However, I’m not super serious about it to the extent that I would count calories or whatever.

So I’ve found with my own body that yes muscle does form but without the diet aspect unless I flex you really don’t see it. I can feel the muscle in my legs and that but it’s not to the extent that I’m The Thing. It’s more like the muscle is covered by a layer of squish.

I like that and I’m realising for cuddle partners I would also like muscle covered in squish.

Omd, sounds so weird. Should I date myself?

I am curious however, what is it like cuddling with someone who is all muscle. Does it feel how I imagine it to? Or is it like lying on those healthy beds that are rock solid and great for your back?

Genuinely curious.
