In a (not-so-surprising) study conducted by Western Illinois University, women rated abs as the sexiest muscle on a man's body, ThePostGame.com reports.
That's a whopping 37 percent of women who consider the torso the sexiest part of a man's body. This didn't solely imply that gym-toned bodies were the only things considered sexy, as plenty of women find dad bods attractive. Many workouts target the torso.

Height and weight are right on top of the list of things women notice. “Too much or too little of either immediately classifies the man as unattractive to women, and closes the door before less physically obviously features (such as confidence) can be determined,” says Dr Patzer.

Finally, an additional study found that in terms of gauging facial attractiveness, instead of rating men with strong jaws and “macho” features as more appealing, women were more drawn to men with skinnier faces.
Although men and women maintain an internal body temperature of 98.6 degrees, men typically have more muscle mass and generate more heat by using more calories to fuel those extra muscles. When that heat evaporates, it warms up their skin, their clothes and the air just above the surface of their skin.
The lowest temperature recorded on Earth was 128.6 degrees Fahrenheit in Vostok, Antarctica. Britannica says a nebula is a cloud or mist of gas and dust in interstellar space.
The ideal body temperature in adults is around 98.6°F (37°C) , but this varies based on age, physical activity, and health. Body temperature also changes throughout the day. A temperature of above 100.4°F (38°C) signals a fever.

Silent men have a rich inner circle with intriguing feelings and thoughts, and this appears to act as a magnet between women. Women want to know what they are thinking, and they are unable to figure it out. This creates an intense aura around men and women are not able to break it down.
Surprisingly, the same study also states that 45 per cent of women prefer men with a little chubbiness or simply the average male body over an extremely muscular one. Many might argue that some do like the latter and so, only 2.5 per cent of women had favoured the lean, muscular type.
The study found that the first thing women notice upon passing a man on the street is the eyes.
When a man is honest and trustworthy, he instantly becomes more appealing and desirable to a woman. If he's dependable, truthful, genuine, and speaks from the heart, he's a guy who is worth pursuing, as people can take him at his word. "Trust and trustworthiness allow relationships to deepen," says Degges-White.
