I was going to start a politically charged topic, that being my general nature, but, as I have a 8.00am call for the (student) film I'm acting in, and, therefore, will be going to bed soon, I decided to hold off for a few days.

So, how nice are your abs? Due to a nice pilates and running routine, I had them quite close to a six-pack. However, they're starting to fade, as I've been too busy to excercise lately.
Please be honest voting. This is NS General, so there's not really much of a point of pretending to be more attractive than you really are.


IDIOCY CORRECTED: Got the poll up!

I have a minikeg, I was starting to get a full-size, but got a job.

Not much in the way of "abs" but close, i have some condition of "abcess" that i'm quite willing to share in an honest fashion. :)
Seriously, i've been itching to share that topic for a while now, but i've been too afraid to ask. Thank you.

That's too bad. The same sort of thing happens to me a lot, with my acting schedule.

*pokes belly and watches it jiggle* Yeah... Definitely soft.

You're welcome?

I'm female (before I get asked that for the hundredth time), so I dunno... I think sixpacks are yucky on girls. Not a very feminine look.

But I work out pretty much every day, so there's definately definition (and I'm certainly not pudgy or flabby or anything), and enough you can tell I work out a lot. I just wouldn't want it to get extreme.

I disagree. I told my friend that I wanted a six-pack, and he got all disgusted, so I stormed out of the room muttering things about some guys liking the look.

I like a girls abs to have some deffintion, but out and out cut abs on a girl are gross.

I don't mean steroid abs. More like dancer abs: defined, but not totally pumped.

I far prefer the term "keg" to describe my abs :D

i am toned, used to be fricking ripped, but college hit

i am toned, used to be fricking ripped, but college hit
fuck, college, gotta prepare for that....


how much damagae did it to your abs?

"Ripped" is boring. Fuck "ripped".

I'm not "ripped" but I'm dead sexy. Well ok maybe not .... but it's all a matter of taste. Certain magazines want us to unify and codify our tastes, but it will never work.

If we look at the magazines, men are all GQ models and women are all Julia Stiles .... yeah good luck. Some of us men are bearish grey haired men and some women have a little paunch and a boob stretch mark. (OH NO!!)

Damnit ... where's Fass when I need him?! :p

Incidently - my eyes have gotten me laid far more than my car or "six pack". In retrospect, I've made love to xxx women and I've never had a nice car or "abs of steel". Learn the "look" ... that's all that matters.

Abs are something I heard about, once.

fuck, college, gotta prepare for that....

dude, not that much damage in my opinion, I try to swim atleast twice a week and do some basic upper body (including abs) workout but nothing serious. But you can always see me abs, there is just a definite difference between my abs in high school (last year) and my abs this year.

I have a flat stomach, which has enough muscle to stop a punch. That's all I need really, most of my muscle is in my legs and arms. Comes of being a kickboxer really, all I need atm is a strong punch and a kick that can take a head off... :D

im erm soft... meh i dont care.

i have a belly :(

i hate being overweight but its just so hard to shift it :headbang:

when i suck in my stomach the fat lines look like a six pack.....:p

i'm not fat by any means
but i could do with a bit of abs toneage

looking at my father, i realise that a similar fate in in store for me

EDIT: being a computer geek, it's not particularly flat, though it's not that large, considering what it could be

*stares* ;)

Depends. I tend to get mooshy by the end of winter but Once the weather warms up, I kep myself active. *nod*

Soft but I do have Muscular Dystrophy that might explain it

"Soft."

i hope so. i'm strictly buttered side up

*stares* ;)

take me now!!!

(hey where did that come from?? :eek: he learned the look)

I normally show them my Sword and they open up yarrgh.

Woohoo! Look at that blubber fly!

"Not so flat" about covers it. Why the fuck would I want stomach muscles? They don't do anything useful to me, take a buttload of effort to get and strangely enough, most of the women I speak to have a negative opinion of them anyway.

I have a flat stomach where abs are sort of visible if I tense like a constipated rhino. It's probably because I only go to the gym about 3 times a week, for a short time, and only get 150-200 easy sits done (in groups of 50, I would die if I tried to do more than 100). I'm not fit by any means, I just weigh next to nothing so I've little fat and not much bodyweight to lift.

Arrgh yes answering the question i have a perfect pysique.

Beer belly....:rolleyes:

Arrgh yes answering the question i have a perfect pysique.
yes, a perfect picasso :p

Sorry this reference passes me buy as i am only familiar with the works of Von Grimsby and Klaust.

take me now!!!

(hey where did that come from?? :eek: he learned the look)
mwuhahahaha!! i shall teach you, my padawan... come, let us ogle the ladies together.... ;)

(and you're almost there with this :eek: actually :P)

6 pack from water polo and basketball. I also have that V shape thing underneath my abs, but I am starting to work out for the first time to go for the full blown 8 pack. Wish me luck!

You're welcome?
You sound pensive ... perhaps i'm being too personal again ... :(

Two things ....
1) By the look ... you mean Magnum, from Zoolander?
and
2) You're a bear .... ah, i get it. The Colbert Report.

*nods*

damn, I haven't been able to watch the Colbert Report in a long time.

soft... but only because "Jello" wasn't up there. :D

damn, I haven't been able to watch the Colbert Report in a long time.
He just keeps getting better and better. He's really emphasized the power of farcicle product placement. The guy's wack, but he's *relative* genius.
Daily and Colbert are two distinctly different shows now. He had this one about (maybe true maybe not) on Thursday about some "critic" for a radio show that was bitching about his "right-wingedness" ... that, the bear thing, and his word coining shticks can take an episode right through *independent* of his "Get To Know A District* thing. It's really coming along, IMO.
I'm taping all of them, especially since he had Richard Clark on there.

You live to entice me, don't you?

Between "flat" and "not so flat". When I tighten my stomach, it's pretty hard, but just walking around, not so much. I guess I really should work out more.

I have a seven pack (ya- thats right, theres one on the top all by itself) anyways im pretty damn proud of it. But i have a realy big ribcage so it looks kinda weird. Its like I have a belly with an eight pack on it. But I can flex and it looks pretty intimidating

Once upon a time, I had an absolutely ripped stomach, but not so much anymore. That being said, it is wintertime, and I do tend to get a little paunchy in winter.

Basically, it's reasonably firm, but the definition is missing and my stomach left to its own devices tends to stick out slightly beyond my pecs.

flat.

I've got a six pack I think.

It's just buried under a bit of flub.
