Do women like muscles?

Do you like a lead with more muscles?

A couple of years ago a coach told me my shoulders were over-developed. Since then I've backed off of shoulder stuff and (in regard to the upper body) concentrated more on lats and ribcage.
 
I'm not a muscular guy but I'm well toned and although my leading takes work, I have received comments from women I've danced with that the force I exert is "just right."

Women don't like to be pushed around but they don't want someone meek either. When I first started dancing, my frame was terrible and it was like the women were leading me. Now that I've got a better frame, it feels more natural.

In order to have a good frame, I think core muscle strength as well as being well-toned is more important that bulking up.
 
Yes, muscle tone and the ability to maintain frame and posture is a lot more important than sheer strength. The only place where brute strength matters much is if you're doing lifts, which you won't in casual social dancing.
 
No any extra points for extra muscles - "just for the show/feel, and no practical benefit". Neither in dancing, nor personally. All I envision when seeing overly developed muscles is shelf with protein cans (or whatever they intake to help build muscles).
