    I like seeing muscle definition on women. It's not something I see much of though. I've only once seen a woman in real life that had very visible even when not flexing arm muscles that some might view as masculine. It was at the grocery store and my first thought was "holy cow she has put in a lot of work and it really shows," and not "ew." I don't know that I'd want quite that much definition but it's certainly not something I see as unattractive.

    Erin Stern in this picture has nice arms.

    I think it's sexy. As a female I would be incredibly envious of your bod. :wink: I agree that too much muscle bulk on SOME females in the arm and traps make them appear too masculine, but from chest down it's fair game in my opinion. I'd say rock that bod and that anybody that's getting onto you about muscle build is just being a hater. They're not used to it. They may be uncomfortable with it, but do what you like to do. Build the body that you want. :smiley:

    I personally find strong women very sexy.

    Definition is nice on both guys and girls. But the bulky, body builder frame on either gender looks unnatural to me.

    I wouldn't characterize her as muscular. In fact, she's actually a bit soft. Don't get me wrong, she's gorgeous and has a great body, but it's just not particularly muscular. I say this because I would say her body type matches mine at the moment pretty spot on, and I still have a few more pounds to lose before I will start seeing the definition I want in my abs and legs. Based on your profile photo I'd actually say you look more lean/trim than her.

    I mean, I don't swing that way, but she just looks fantastic! I'd love to have a physique like that someday. You know, in another life where I'm taller and have longer legs and am not proportioned like a hobbit.

    A hobbit. lol. Yeah that look is not happening for me either. But she is gorgeous. I can appreciate.

    I never said she was muscular! I cannot believe people are saying she is 'soft' or 'wobbly' like oh my god haha :O :O :O , yes i may be more trim than her but i prefer her general shape

    Steph Pacca's aren't natural, so you could have those haha. I go from a DD down to a C pretty quickly when I lose weight. Unfortunately breasts are just fat too :'(

    Holy SMOKES! Sigh...someday, I WILL have that. Clearly I favor the muscular look (for myself). Of course, that's not an "everyday" look--that's competition only level of body fat. Dem legs are a thing of beauty.

    For anyone else, I love whatever their healthy goals are. Really, I love all bodies, and admire everyone for going for their best level of fitness-whatever that is. THAT is what is admirable and desirable--dedication and drive <3

    I really have no preference but I do prefer my ladies confident in themselves so rather they are thick or thin as long as they are happy and confident in themselves and their bodies that is what I find hot.

    I honestly think that it's a great look. I could only assume negative remarks from men about strong and physically superior women come from insecurity about themselves.

    I think we need to see more women lifting as a matter of fact. If anyone thinks a woman cannot look good because she's ripped, all I got to say is Dana Linn Bailey.

    Nothing sexier imho than a women that looks like they lift, I think muscular women look hot. What I don't like is geared women lifters pro bodybuilders because all the gear that they take make them become masculine but natural women lifters look amazing weather it's bodybuilding or powerlifting

    Not sure how to post pics so they show without clicking the link.

    But basically Jamie Eason's body is what I think is super sexy and would love to attain. Specifically as it looks in this image. There are others of her with a range of bf%, but this would be my sweet spot.

    I love how somehow somewhere someone knows how all men feel.

    I'm physically attracted to a variety of women - from thin to medium built, from soft to athletic to well above average musculature. Muscle looks great. Slender looks great. Curvy looks great. Strong is great. Ability to do amazing things is hot.

    But why does it matter what I like? I also like snails and pork rinds.

    :laugh:

    You know all the men have a secret meeting to vote on what's attractive. I've seen the minutes. ;)


    OP I agree with DavPul. The only thing that matters is that you're happy with your body and that you're healthy. There will be men who are attracted to you no matter what you look like, and there will be men who are attracted to you in spite of the fact that you're not their usual "type."

    Personally I think muscles are sexy as hell, but I prefer a little higher body fat than most women achieve for contest prep. I prefer mine around 18-20% . *shrug* That's worth the same as everyone else's opinion here.
