A new study out of England says that women prefer men chubby, rather than a gym rat. Three out of four women, or 96% to be exact. But why is that?

According to the study, the reason women want a more average man as our partner is because women are afraid they won't match their partners great body. This makes women even more self conscious about their own body, and their own flaws. 74% actually said they would feel self conscious getting naked in front of a guy in tip top shape.

Women were also worried that a man who paid so much attention to his body, would be less likely to pay attention to the relationship. Want to go to a fancy dinner? Sorry, its leg day. Want to share a deep fried appetizer? No, do you know how much fat is in that? These are the conversations women worry about when dating a fitness obsessed guy.

All of these things actually do make sense to me. I can see a lot of women having problems with a guy who is obsessed with his body. Then again, this study was commissioned to mark the release of the DVD for the movie "Neighbors," starring the pudgy Seth Rogen and the insanely in shape Zac Efron. Read more about this study here.
