The Neck
In my last post, I had a photo of this guy:
Now I get all the comments about the dumb look on his face.
The thing I don’t get is all the comments about his neck. Some were saying that he doesn’t have a neck. He has a freaking huge neck. I thought the muscles up on his neck gave him the ideal neck.
Is a muscle neck unattractive?

Comments (179)
Ha, that guy just looks stupid, is all.
very….
ugh muscle necks are nasty
The problem with his neck is that it’s TOO huge. It makes his head look tiny. I think what people mean to say is: There is not a good visual transition between his face and his torso. Hence, the neck comment, only they don’t know how to articulate it.
its ok…really
Yes. It looks like it’s the same width as his head. That’s kind of creepy.
Ya know, I didn’t notice his neck at all…I just thought his face wasn’t that great. BUT, now that you point out his neck, I realize that he has a pin head.
I think muscular necks are fine as long as they don’t shrink your head like that.
How does he not have one? Look at it!
SO unattractive. it’s gonna eat his head!
D:
I said he has no neck and I was wrong. He has a neck like a tree trunk that makes his head look tiny.
its really ugly…it makes his face look super small and out of proportion.
It’s super thick.
As a heterosexual male, I only have the most rudimentary understanding of what makes other males attractive. So commenting on how his neck size affects his attractiveness is out.
Wow! People really said that man had no neck? That guy definitely has one of the biggest necks I have ever seen!
Personally, I don’t think it is attractive. I mean, I don’t want a guy with a scrawny neck, but that huge neck is a bit much. Then again, I am not a fan of huge, muscular guys like that.
It makes it look like his neck is like a tree trunk. Necks should be slim or slender, not the size of a freaking tree.
Yes. I don’t like it.
It’s strange.
It should be thinner.It reminds me of the episode of Family Guy where Peter gets liposuction. haha
His neck is too close to the same width as his head, which is kind’ve horrifying.
I dont like his neck.
He tree trunk neck is a total turn off. It’s just creepy. It’s creepy like not having ankles creepy.
gross. a neck shouldn’t be as wide as your head.
hahaha as long as it’s not a flabby neck!
I suspect it’s accentuated by the fact that the photo is black and white with very little contrast so it looks as though his face is attached to an extension of his neck rather than to a separate head. He looks like a muscular version of Beeker from the Muppets.
Yeah, that’s a lot of neck. I mean it’s fine if he’s a football player or something, but I wouldn’t call that the ideal look. That’s the muscle bound look.
That is gross
thanks for the add! I cant get past his dumb facial expression lol. i dont thnk his neck is that bad, i think the angle doesnt really help…but again his face!
I think because his neck is so thick, it makes him look unintelligent. Something about the proportions, and a stereotype that all muscular men must be dumb.
yea im not going to lie, im pretty sure he got about a 90 on his i.q. test… (for u dumbasses out there thats not an -a)
Honestly… I just don’t find him attractive in the least. The neck is kinda weird, but I just don’t like him at all.
YES ITS UGLY because it looks like he just has a stump that gradually turns into his face.. theres no definition.
Eh, I can only see the left half of the picture on my screen so all I see is a stray arm. I couldn’t see the neck if I wanted to… (and I’m not at all saying I want to.)
He looks like he has a fat neck…lol
His neck looks like it is trying to swallow his head
he looks stupid. But there is not damn thing wrong with his body, including his neck.
@casmarie - that’s what she said.
I’m actually not even that big on muscle. Just bigger than me is good. =)
it looks fake…
His neck muscles are freakishly weird. They make his head look way too small for his neck.
@JadedJanissary - har har har
meathead dumbfaces aren’t that bad. you’d just have to dumb yourself down every once in a while. that could be fun.
so… what i’m saying is meathead=ok
meatneck=yuck.
that guy’s neck is disgusting. it made me have an antiboner.
mostly i think it’s just an unfortunate angle. his is a little much, but generally, no, i don’t think a muscular neck is bad.
@casmarie - you know you laughed…
He has a hugee neck with no muscle.
He does look stupid, but that neck is so not cute! Ugh! Looks just looks like a muscle head to me!
~Alexx
i think he looks lyka hunk o burnin luv meat nek & all yikes
I shy away from men who could break me in half with their neck muscles.
Yes. That thing is half the width of his torso!
i just think his neck is too broad, which then makes his face appear much smaller than it should. Then again, it could be the way the picture was taken… bad angle.
otherwise, i don’t mind muscular necks.. i just like them to b proportionate to the rest of th body!
sigh, poor guy’s going to stumble on this page and start crying after seeing all you peep’s comments..
It’s tottally unproportional to the rest of his body
Btw, how the hell do you get neck muscles?
What Di_ya said
Uhh yeah.
ER, I don’t like his.
I’m no photo expert but his neck looks photo-shopped (a bit too much) or it could be too ”thick” and yes I agree with “secretnevertold”
I don’t see anything wrong with his neck really. The doorknob attached to the top of it is another story.
It seems proportianate to his body and muscle.
yes.
First thought that came to mind when I saw your post of “The Neck” was:
Man is the head but woman is the neck, turning the head.
He’s so unattractive.
All is well if someone puts a bag over his head
He looks very fit, but overly muscled bodies with veins popping out look unattractive.
That kind of neck is not attractive to me…at least not on him.
@TheGreatOrange - I just want to say thank you for that comment. It made me laugh, and I’ve been having a hard week, so it was very much needed. So thanks.
I would rather have a muscular neck then a scrawny broken one. But, some people prefer necrophilia. Not me.
i just noticed that now i dont like it. man i wonder if he know we are talking about his body like this lol.
most definitely!
Looks like the guy is suffering from iodine deficiency.
his neck is very very very unattractive. af must’ve been crazy to hire him!
YES.
reminds of this brilliant prank you HAVE to see and then post about lol^10000000!!!!

fat neck
And this is why I need a new picture for my next attempt. Sheesh, people!
gross. i like skinny guys.
very unattractive
There is no grace in a muscle neck. I mean…it’s the same thickness as his head. Grody to the maxor.
Not if it is bigger around than his head.
Dear god, it’s disgusting, it looks exactly like my bulldog’s neck!
I think his neck looks too thick, or at least at the angle that this pic is. Aren’t necks supposed to be smaller in diameter than heads? The way the pic is, it looks about the same, and that’s just weird.
it’s out of proportion with the size of his head. it makes him looks like he has a very small head.
That’s actually the first thing I noticed. His neck. That and how weird it makes his shoulders look. I don’t like it….
Very.
Soo grosss.
Yes, gross. I like backs and shoulders, if they guy has big ol’ neck muscles, it takes away from all the rest.
hahaha
Too much neck for my taste. It’s just too thick. Guys should just kind of leave their necks alone when they exercise. Neck of steel! hahaha
@Legendairy - Trust me, you’re not missing anything. LOL
It’s a bit too much neck but otherwise he is cute!
Umm, his head looks non-existent.
That neck looks processed in photo editing software. It looks fake.
The coloring is off. You can tell by the grey patch under his chin. It doesn’t look right to me.
The neck suggests that the guy is flat on the back of his head. Look at his right ear and follow that line to his collarbone. Not natural.
Basically, he looks like a member of any of the long neck tribes of Asia but without the rings around the throat. Or you could compare it to Peter Weller in Robo-Cop, when he isn’t wearing the helmet.
His neck looks it could be as wide as a tree trunk! D: That can’t be healthy in any way, can it?
i think his neck kind of makes his head look teeny tiny. but its just a neck
it looks absolutely disgusting.
It’s like cankles, only for your neck. Not good.
He’s not really attractive…at all.
Too thick. Pun intended
i dont like this neck
Between him and the woman I prefer him, but yeah, this guy’s neck is too huge. A nice proportional neck would be better.
His is unattractive, and so is his facial expression.
I hope this guy never reads your blog.
I never realized how often you repoist old posts. Aren’t you on of the people that complained about it?
Big muscley necks are disgusting.
i think hes hot as heck
@saintvi - OMG The first thing I thought was “tree trunk neck” LOL! Ack!
It is when his head is waay too small for it.
I didnt even notice his neck till you pointed it out. Kinda thick but not a problem. I dont think he has a dumb look on his face..he’s just looking off into the distance. People are simply following the badwagon since one person said he has a dumb look on his face now everyone wanna chime in.
I commend him for being so physically fit and able to be an abercrombie model. For all those haters…..they need to stop it. At least hes healthy, hes done something for himself, he works out, hes beat out thousands to make it in the modeling world.
When I’m attracted to guys I will let you know.
@IfonEarth - I am starting to like the idea of you finding things creepy. It’s really girly.
I wonder on a scale of 1-10 how most of the people who say this guy’s neck or the guy himself is ugly would measure up in ANY respect?
I think that’s a little too much neck in the picture… it makes his head look small.
I think the neck would actually look nicer slit open.
There is nothing wrong with that guy. The only thing wrong w/him is that he’s supposed to be modeling some sourt of clothes and you can only see a small part of his jeans, ha ha. Truth is, if he sat down next to anyone as the new guy at a job, new guy at church, friend of a friend and smiled and said something funny, clever, cute, whatever most any women would drool over him. I think they’d quickly get over his neck and a photo of him making a stupid face!
…I was too busy staring at his abs to notice his neck.
doesn’t look hott or sexy to me.
@MereBenjimon - Uh, okay. Don’t expect me to run away from anything screaming, though.
That is not an ideal neck. At all. It’s huge and ugh.
He reminds me of a bull or something. His neck is too huge and it makes his head look really small. The proportions are all wrong.
And it’s just sort of…gross.
Yes it is.
And even without that, he’d look dumb.
He does have a freakin’ huge neck, and it just makes him look awkward. People were probably saying his doesn’t have a neck because it’s like his head just continues into his shoulders – it’s the same size. It can be attractive, but he just looks odd.
Yeah, it’s quite bigger than average.
I think his neck is awful looking. I also think he looks like an idiot.
no, guys with big necks tend to look like meatheads.
I do think his neck is a bit too big…
…10,003 credits, now.
*HUGS*
His neck is way too big for his head! He looks like he’s a victim of the head-shrinker from Beetlejuice!
Yep, pretty much.
As a guy, i like his nips.
@pillowpixies - hahaha! Hilarious, and exactly what I was thinking. Well put.
and how does ‘vintage’ even apply ?
@huginn - YES!
his neck is almost the size of my waist…
I am quite sure it is bigger than my waist was before I had my son….
maybe we should just paper bag him.
and then his neck and head wouldn’t distract from his important parts…
his abs.
while we are at it, lets gag him so he can’t talk. you know he’ll say something stupid.
Makes him look like an engorged penis.
Muscle neck (or triangle neck, as I call it) is SO GROSS!!
Too much makes your head look small. LoL.
Yeah…I don’t really think your neck should be bigger than your head. It’s creepy.
Does a thick neck necessarily mean a low, coarse tone in his voice?
I can’t really explain the reason, but I feel that the “proportion” will improve if his neck is thinner.
who said he doesn’t have a neck?
he’s got a diesel neck – and no its not attractive – it never is.
muscle necks are gross
I don’t think a muscle neck is necessarily unattractive, but rather, the amount given is. It doesn’t look “right”. Proportionally, it’s off. There’s just “too much” neck. o.o;
On the note of beauty, I remember my Psych teacher telling us that even infants can detect beauty in their own perspective. The more symmetry in a person face/body, the more appealing we (more so infants) find them to be. Though, all of that might be random, I just thought it might be interesting to mention.
Nah, it’s too big and makes his head look misporportioned.
It’s probably the biggest neck I’ve ever seen. I think it’s disgusting. It makes his head look super small compared to the rest of his body.
His neck makes his head look too small for his body. That makes him look odd.
He looks like his head was cut and pasted onto that neck.
His neck muscle kinda scares me!!!
It’s disgusting. His neck almost looks bigger that his head!
he looks very very dull, like all he does is work out and say “duuh”…
Zeus’ trousers, yes—any neck that is the same size as the head is just disturbing. It’s disproportionate to the rest of the body.
@SecretNeverTold - agreed!
I recently met a considerably athletically-built young man (maybe not as defined), fairly attractive but as I prodded him on himself, he gave me little to show he had any substance beyond his phiysical appearance.
His neck is too big for his head
The neck muscles are gross.
muscle necks freak me out. as do overly arm/pec-muscular people in general. now muscley abs on the other hand… yum-tastic!
neck ? oh , i thought that was a tree holding up his dumb head .
To me, this one is, at least. And the upper shoulder muscles. It makes his head look proportionally enormous. >P
ew no
I wish I still had a thick neck like that! It’s what you need when you tackle a rampaging fullback and want to survive the experience.
As to that “stupid” look… nonsense. That’s the “far away” look that fashion hunks have sported for the past hundred years. Ever seen those early publicity shots of Paul Newman back in the Sixties? That guy could be his grandson copying his style.
it looks fine.
i dont really care
as long as it doesnt get to the point where they start flexing it.
Dumb football players aren’t in high demand anymore. That’s what he looks like.
If your neck is larger than your head (like this guy’s is), it makes your head look small. Subconsciously, there are probably some judgments about intelligence going on because of that.
I wonder why are people so picky over a guy like him? And I dont see any “dumb look” on him,
not to me, thats what I call “thick neck”
the muscles in general are unattractive.
Oh my gosh, his neck is disgusting. I wonder if he has a thyroid problem? Yeah, nice bod but that neck-totally distracting.
I’m not a big fan…
his neck, head and face is a total turnoff for me… no idea why… he’s just really U-G-L-Y
A big neck looks strange when it’s topped by a tiny head.
Haha I think it’s the camera angle that makes his neck look perfectly aligned with his head. That’s funny =D
Ugh, NO. Absolutely not.
His neck (and the rest of his body for that matter) is not proportional to his head! His head looks ridiculously small (and the expression on his face looks ridiculously stupid)!
Most women I’ve dated are more about shoulders and arms being muscular. I’ve never dated anyone who cared about how muscular my neck was. Calves were also a big one.
Let me also say, that guy would probably have -% body fat by military standards.
turn off
yes- it makes him look like his head is too small.
He does have a stupid look on his face….
His neck is thick but those muscles are sexy.
Almost every case.
Neck Muscle/Muscular Neck= Unattractive
his neck’s so wide it has lost its status as a neck and looks like an extension of his head instead…. hahah
I find them to be.
yes, his neck is weird. it’s as big as his head! it kinda makes him look like a dumb jock with much more brawn than brain.
The thing is, like… his neck is so thick that it doesn’t look like a neck anymore. It’s just like, a protruding part of his head xD; It makes him look pretty stupid. He’d actually be decent looking if it wasn’t for that… and his, like “straining to think” expression going on there.
They seriously need to rethink their models :/;
Of course he has a neck. What I meant by my comment saying he “doesn’t have a neck” is that, his neck isn’t in proportion to the rest of his body and head/chin area. It looks wider than the base of his head. Perhaps its just the angle of the photograph, I don’t know. But the lack of proportion and “no-neck” body-builder type look is just not attractive to me personally.
but he so DOES have a freaking huge neck! gosh! >:O
what he DOESN’T have is a normal dude neck. creepiness, ahoy.
He looks like a snake. It’s like Daniel Radcliffe’s neck, ew.
muscle necks are soo unattractive, but then again i don’t really find huge muscles attractive.
<3 micalyn
I believe they’re saying he has no neck because his neck is so huge that it kind of just becomes his chest, there’s no distinctive point, so it’s almost as bad as being so fat that you have no neck.
It is NOT attractive.
I find them very unattractive.
NOT ONE PERSON LIKED IT? omg I actually find it aesthetically pleasing!!
