Just for the fun of the remark :
Maybe if this lad had hair and tattoos, you wouldn't mind his excess of muscles?
I, too, think that there is such thing as "too much muscle". I believe that the neologism "bigorexia" matches with reality, as a case of dysmorphophobia. (People with anorexia will always see themselves as to big, and some people with too much muscle will always see themselves as to thin).
I'm trying to protect myself against my own bias. If I saw this guy IRL, maybe I wouldn't be so quick to think he is unattractive.
What is that word in your next post? Alien?
I think it also applies quite fine to this lad.
Agreed. Plus, he's probably a soprano. Not my jam.
I suspect the picture is morphed. After all of my years of buying body building magazines, the worst case of "over-growth" was the thighs of Tom Platz, They might have been an accomplishment of his, but they were just too much. The guy in the picture is WAY too much.

Agreed, unless you like stretch marks.
