I'd say hot, more attractive than a fupa, that's for sure.

I already posted on this but I wanted to say one more thing. The reason I think I don't like abs on women is because in order for a woman to have actual ab cuts they have to drop to very low, very unnatural body fat levels. For men, abs come out at healthy body fat levels usually around 10-11% so its different. As human being's we tend to subconsciously equate a "healthy" look and take it into account when it comes to attraction which I think is why we find tanned skin more physically attractive. It exudes a healthier looking skin usually. That being said, abs on women due to such unnaturally low body fat levels, doesn't entirely scream healthy.
Aside from that, abs are a decent sized muscle group. To see such a large muscle group on a woman protruding out with cuts just feels too masculine.
Just my opinion though, I could be wrong. :glasses: :ohwell:
For things that are objective, I suggest going with facts rather than opinions. You are wrong.
I had abs at 20% body fat, 135 lbs. That's more than healthy and sustainable, as women's essential body is around 12-14%
Naw, I'm not wrong. You're not defining "abs" as I'm defining abs. I'm not talking about very minor visible abs flexed when you're posing sucked in. I'm talking about actual full cuts showing muscle bellies with a clean 6 pack. I think maybe when I'm giving my opinion on abs this is not the same as others because yes you can start seeing visible abs, I thought we were talking about diamond cut 6 pack abs?
When you say "healthy and sustainable" and then quote the essential minimum body fat levels for a woman to survive, you sort of lost me.
Also don't be like that muffin, just because I don't like your physique. I didn't mean to hurt your e-feelings. Let's hug it out k? :flowerforyou:
Here's more what I was talking about:
Don't much prefer
Don't mind really at all

I guess four sentences was too much for you? She had abs at 20%. That's healthy and sustainable. Women have to go to 12-14% BF to be the "unhealthy" bf you assume women need to be to have visible abs.
Your weird assumption of whether she gives a damn or not about what you think of her physique is sure strange. Did you say "muffin" because you're just craving one or...?0 -
Oh nos!! All the ab seeking women are butt hurt and feel the need to lash out ! :laugh: :laugh:

Dumbing? My post was based on personal opinion. It's not "dumbing" all over the place at all. Clearly it's butt hurt, nothing more. You think it's just purely coincidental the last 6 replies all to me were all women pretty much attacking me by picking apart a single part of my post?
Yeah just coincidence.0 -

It's more likely your condescending attitude and assumptions than your physical preference in women that has resulted in the "Butt hurt" you referenced.
But what do I know... My body fat% is clearly not ideal enough to have an opinion on the topic.0 -

No hurt feelings here at all. Your opinion about whether my abs or anyone else's abs are attractive is entirely beside the point. Some people won't find them attractive and that's fine. People have different likes and dislikes.
The problem is that you're saying you dislike abs on women *because they indicate an unhealthy body fat percentage*, which is not necessarily true. Far better to say that it's not your personal preference than to say it's unhealthy. Because the latter is misinformation that is dangerous to uninformed people.
This is a lot of words. Let me know if you need help deciphering.0 -

Where's the science part? I'm just talking from personal preference. Where did I bring any double blind studies into this conversation?
The lack of reading skills I'm blaming on working from home near the end of my day on a Friday afternoon on 1 monitor while trying to post on MFP. That's my story and you cannot take it away from me.0 -
HOT - some men don't like it because they think that the women look "manly". That's stupid. If you have abs, you worked your *kitten* off for a great physique, so oh so HOTT!0

That makes 3 of us.
This thread has inspired me to break up with food and drop to a dangerously low bodyfat like Jessica Ennis (...).
Am I doing it right?0 -

Saying things like "man abs" or "my worst nightmare" pushes "opinions" into "shaming".
I don't want to look like Kim Kardasian. She has a higher body fat percentage and smaller muscles than I'd prefer for myself.
Look. I expressed an opinion.
Kim Kardasian is fat. Her "curves" are just fat. To look like that would be a nightmare.
There. I "body shamed".
I continue to be amazed that so many people claim not to be able to tell the difference between the two.0 -

you know, it's a shame that at your age you still haven't learned any manners.0 -

I'm not insulting anyone. I just said I don't want to look like that. My opinion, no problem of yours.0

You don't think labeling someone's body your worst nightmare is insulting?
What DO you think is insulting, exactly? Can I get a detailed list to better understand? Because if someone said my body was their nightmare I'd be pretty damn insulted. I mean, if I said I had nightmares about looking like you that would be okay? The mods wouldn't come in like SWAT, dragging me out by my hair and throwing down strikes for attacking another poster?
Someone. Someone please0 -
I don't like abs on women...
...because it reminds me that there are women out there who have better ab definition (and likely better dedication) than I do.
(Of course, I don't like abs on men for the same reason.)

Are you honestly really just continuing on like this? Do you just need some attention? I'm not even sure how my reading skills are being questioned here.
I already said multiple times the problem here is I'm not defining abs like you are. Long distance runners who drop to low body fat levels, their period stops because they're at such a low body fat % but they have a full cut 6 pack is what I'm immediately picturing in my head when I read this thread. There is no clear cut definition of "abs", I'm giving my take on what I thought this thread was referring to. I have no doubt you had visible abs at 20%, I will say it really clear here again for you so please pay attention k?
THIS-IS-NOT-WHAT-I-MEANT-BY-UNHEALTHY.
I even went as far as Googling pictures of what I'm referring to in terms of what I "abs" I personally dislike.0
