      Exactly. I've never been one to do anything to please someone else or to do this because it's what "guys like". Please with all that nonsense :yawn:

      EXACTLY!!! lol *High Five*

      This. What else are muscles good for? XD

      I know, right? It is my DREAM to look like those toned, muscular chicks. And I can't for the life of me - I'm on coumadin, can't lift heavy. I'm doomed to look like a stick. Too much ballet for too long, I guess. :(

      Thank you & that's true. There are bodies that I don't find attractive too, but I would never go up to that person & tell them so. We each like what we like.

      I can't imagine walking up to someone and telling them they are unattractive!

      Yeah, or someone says they accidentally lost weight and replying that their husband probably likes them better now than before.

      The only person you need to impress is yourself. Be comfortable in you own skin.

      It's so hard to get huge like a body builder! They act like picking up a heavy weight is automatically going to have them leaving the gym with these jacked up arms. LOL if only it was that easy :laugh:

      Its not only difficult for a woman, but it's also difficult for a man to reach bodybuilder status! Some have better genetics for it then others, but its still very difficult!

      Yes & I actually do put on muscle easily, but it still is going to take a long time for me to get where I want to be. People ask me for advice on health/fitness & I always hear the same thing "I want to lose weight, but I don't want to look like a Man". :noway:

      Yeah. You are about as far from "manly" as possible in any of those pictures.

      If you asked me that question, I would give you the same answer 15 years ago, growing up in Asia I ( and a lot of girls) was taught we need to be feminine ( aka not to be like men) it was considered kind beauty to appear weak ( that you need men).

      But now, I think women with muscle and 6 pack abs are HOT!!!! Strong is beautiful, confidence is beautiful and take charge in your own life is god dame beautiful! I am now into weight training and start seeing some results. Everyone has different opinion of what's beautiful, don't worry about those disagree with you, be yourself!

      just saw your pictures, you look GREAT! Love that killer abs and yes, just like that tattoo on you, you are beautiful!

      almost thought this thread was going to go in a different direction (upon reading the topic). happily surprised here. i love muscles and getting stronger and i can't wait to one day be featured as a major success story both here and on bodybuilding.com. it's not a question of "if"--it's a question of "when." :)

      everyone's goals are valid though--be they to get fit, super muscular, or anything in between.

      :heart: :flowerforyou:

      Usually I just respond with "Thanks for sharing your opinion" and move on.

      What is with some Women that they assume that muscles are unattractive not & feminine? I'm so sick of people telling me not to get too big or too muscular or that they are worried about working out because they don't want to get *manly* looking. I was expressing to a coworker the other day that I have gained some weight & I'm not happy about it & I want to loose 10-15 pounds within the next few months. She told me I look better now than I did several months back because I was too muscular looking & my Husband is probably happy that he has something to grab onto now & that guys like their ladies to be soft. Really? First off I wasn't "too muscular" back then, I was just leaner so I had a lot more definition & I loved it. My Husband also thought I looked great & was super impressed with my budding 6 pack. No I'm not trying to look like a huge body builder (although I find them super impressive) however my goal is to look like I could be a fitness model if I wanted to be & I think leanness & muscle definition is super sexy! I just wish Women would get out of that whole "Muscles are for Men" mindset. It's 2014 muscles are for us ladies too! Why should boys have all the fun?

      I don't think you should care enough to even give this a thought.

      Pursue whatever you like and want for yourself. It is one of the perks of being an adult.

      You look great! My goal is to get to 22% bf, so you're an inspiration to me.

      P.S.--I also have that co-worker. This guy (married, no less), told me that I should stop doing P90X because "guys don't find muscular women attractive." Wow, dude, I didn't realize you spoke for the entire male gender...

      Exactly!! He doesn't speak for us all! That's that 50's backward *kitten* thinking! I love a woman with developed delts and triceps, a slim waistline, thick strong legs only attainable by hours and hours of squats!.

      I think it's really sexy and cool that you have definition on your abdominal and back area. That's something I'd like to have one day!-- Or at least a flatter stomach.

      My ex-girlfriend didn't want me to be muscular because she liked a little chub, and it wasn't attractive to her. She would rather be the muscular partner. My current girlfriend, however, thinks it's super hot that my legs, thighs, and forearms are so defined.

      I don't like it either when people tell me, "Don't do/be this because it's not attractive/everyone says it's unattractive." Who are you to tell me what everyone thinks, or what my partner possibly thinks? Your opinion, I understand, but don't speak for everyone else.

      I try to scoff and brush it off when people are negative nancy's. :U

      First off, OP you look HAWT!!! You got there once, I'm confident you'll get back there again. I loooooove my muscles, I still have a long way to go, especially with lower body, but I'm loving my progress. I am not a very feminine woman, hate floral anything, wear mostly dark muted colors and make-up is for special occasions, but since starting lifting heavier about 6 months ago, I actually feel more feminine and dare I say...pretty. So far I haven't gotten any negative comments about my muscles, but I ready for them if I do.
