A photo of six undergraduate students displaying their muscles at a sports event at Chengdu University captured the Internet's attention and started a discussion on whether muscle men are appealing.

The students are not professional body builders but are taking classes in body building. They train two hours every day. One of the students Ma Xin said he used to be a computer game addict when he was a fresher but is now turning into a handsome man on campus.

Yu Qizheng, the university's body building coach, wants students to take more muscle building and fat reducing exercises, but complains that such activities are not popular, especially on campus.

What do students think about body builders?

A random interview on the campus said men would like to build their bodies but women prefer delicate and gentle guys as too muscle men are associated with violence. Others said muscles are OK but to expose too much of them is unacceptable.
