how important are abs for a guy?

[imitator]

abs are very important.....thats how you can tell whos gettin some or not:thumbsup:

obviously mr. joe blow out of shape cant lay pipe worth a damn bc he would throw out his hip if he tried to thrust anything other than 'munchies' down his gullet.

now take a trail worker...YOU WONT WALK STRAIGHT FOR A WHILE!

Im a Mr. Joe blow, and my hips are still in place, and plenty of quality "pipe laying" has taken place.

Contrary to popular belief, muscle can exist quite well underneath some fat. Just because someone doesnt have protruding muscles doesnt mean they arent in shape and still built solid.

Hahaha.

Wrong.

[Good Green Girl]

I don't care about abs and guys who are obsessed with their six-pack or whatnot. Just as long as they're in decent shape and have some nice, strong arms.

I couldn't tell you how important "abs" are for them but I prefer my women slim and sexy. So, to be fair, I should be "slim and sexy" too. Fat isn't slim and sexy. And with all the munchies I eat and the beers I drink, I'd say I NEED to stay in shape. You just feel better about yourself.
But I think "perfect abs" have nothing to do with staying fit.
