I'm the same, I prefer a flatter stomach on women.
As for men, I think they look better with their abs showing a little bit.
Now that we've completely hijacked this thread, let me just ask you something: what good are pull-ups, really? I know you've got a nice body but if I don't want a 6-pack, is running enough to get rid of the little panza I've got left?

Running is one of the best cardio workouts you can do because unlike a bike, you're actually working your core as you do it.
If you burn fat, your abs will start to show but it doesn't mean you'll get a huge six pack, especially if you do static ab exercises rather than ones that involve movement.
Maybe try swimming more?
Pull ups are great for upper body strength, front and back.

Apparently she said some crap in Japanese but meh, whatever.
Swimming is a good all round exercise, low impact and cardio together.
Lira
Actually, Lilith, she failed at that :p

I don't have a pool where I can swim, unfortunately. I guess I'll just run more then. Now that I bought one of those Heart Rate thingies, I think I can be sure not to burn the muscles along with the fat.

So it has nothing to do with burning fat in the stomach area, right?
Fledz
Well it does, you can't spot burn fat, though I'm not sure where you got the idea that pull ups are designed for fat loss?
Are you thinking of sit ups?
Lira
Oh, yeah, sorry. Sit ups, pull ups, push ups, I get the names mixed up in English. I'm thinking sit ups.
Fledz
Sit ups also won't spot burn fat either. In fact, spot burning is impossible.
Stick to static exercises like the plank, they are fat better than exercises like sit ups.
Lira
Roger that.
I think you're the one who taught me about the plank, actually, and I'm very grateful :D
