The Most Attractive Traits In A Guy - Sara Saffari (4K)

Sara Saffari, welcome to the show.

Hello. Thank you for having me.

How are you?

Good. How are you?

Very good. Thank you. Talk to me about the muscle mommy movement. I'm hearing about it on the internet, that guys, there's like a move away from thin spo to fit spo to now muscle mommy, which is the step up. And even though you only just heard about the word today, it feels like you're part of that movement.

Yeah. People have been commenting on, like, guys comment on my posts, like muscle mommy sometimes, and like, I'm not gonna lie, I kind of like it. But today was the first time that I've heard, like, women addressing themselves as muscle mommy or each other as muscle mommy.

Gymshark did a muscle mommy T-shirt.

Yes. And I was at the event, and I, like even, you know, girls talking on the intercom or whatever, they'd be like, "Okay, muscle mommies," like, "Let's keep pushing." And I was like, "I've never heard this." Like, I haven't heard, like, women addressing women as muscle mommies. I thought it was more of like, um, like kind of joking, flirty type thing that guys comment on girls' posts on Instagram.

Taken the word and made it your own.

(laughs)

So, uh, you're 23?

22.

22. You probably growing up would have seen body types change from I guess when you were maybe 11, 12, 13, through to now.

For sure.

Talk to me about, like, that ideal female shape, and kind of the lessons that you took about what an attractive woman is-

Yeah.

... physically over time.

For me, growing up, um, at first I was really skinny, and then through high school, like I would always fluctuate in weight. Like, I'd go anywhere from 130 pounds to 100 pounds, um, which is a pretty big difference when you already weigh, like, kind of low. Um, but I would always be told by my mom, like, "Confidence is what makes you, like, most attractive. Like, it's not what you look like. It's who you are and how you carry yourself." Sorry. And so that's what, you know, I was taught growing up. But for me personally, if I ever saw a girl with abs, I loved it. I loved the look of it. I thought it was, like, so, I don't know, attractive to me. Like, that's what I was aiming for, that's what I wanted, but I never knew how to get there. Like, I didn't know, like, "Oh, how does a girl get abs?" Like, I thought it was just all genetics. But no, diet comes into play, working out comes into play. So, yeah.

And now there's this move, you remember when thigh gaps were a thing, when everybody wanted a thigh gap?

Bro, yes. I remember being at lunch in high school, and like girls would look at each other and be like, "Oh, you have it." "Oh, you don't." The most toxic thing ever. And I remember, like, I didn't have one at the time, or like, I, I don't think I ever had one, but I would go home and I'd like beat myself up about it, 'cause like girls would be pointing out how it's like good to have a thigh gap.
