Is muscle definition on women sexy?

It's one thing to have an opinion. But would you *tell* your friend that she wasn't sexy, just out of the blue without her asking you? Probably not. It's when you voice a negative opinion to someone about the way they look that you start to look like a green-eyed monster. Not *you* you. General "you."
I absolutely agree with you; it would indeed then sound as though she was jealous/felt bad about herself but the OP didn't say the other person said *she* wasn't sexy, she said that "muscles on *women* were not sexy"!
To her female friend with muscles.

Muscle is sexy!! Health is sexy!! Looking after you body is sexy!!! Well thats just my opinion! I get told its gross all the time by my friends (girls) But the guys seem to love it...maybe girls show just a little jealously??? Easier to say they dont like, than to put i the hard work to look like it!!
I think that actually identifies the real issue...guys don't have a problem, girls just "say" they don't like it...0 -
+1 +1I'm kinda thinking that your friend was trying to cut you down a little bit to make herself feel better, and that's not what friends do. But that's just my opinion.
I think muscles are sexy. I think curves are sexy....

This "debate" drives me insane. Men don't sit around and cut each other up like this. Can you imagine?
"He dude, do you think this round beer belly is too girly?"
or
"I don't know man, I think your *kitten* is lookin' sort round of like Beyonce's. I prefer more of a Seth Rogen look"
+1 definitely! This seems to be hitting the issue dead on!0 -
Absofrickinglutely!!! A strong women is always sexy!0

Nope, not for me. Madonna-esqe scaffolders arms.......yak. Cardio girls for me.......
I actually agree. I'm not saying muscle definition is unattractive, but I don't want it. But to each their own. If they are happy with their body, that's all that matters 0 -
LOL, talking about guys finding that sexy. My husband thinks, Madonna and Sarah Jessica Parker are gross. And they are very defined. I personally like Jilian Michaels muscles the best.0

I think your friend might be a little jealous. Muscle definition and being toned is totally sexy on women. Fit and healthy!0
-
I think it is... esp because it makes my legs and arms jiggle less!
I also like when doing my dumbbell routine in my gyms studio, and there are girls stretching behind me, staring at me because I'm a girl who's lifting weights... makes me feel pretty good about myself.0 -
I think that someone who loves you will want you to be healthy and strong! = muscles! Healthy *IS* sexy!0

agree with this one
rock it...0 -
I think there is natural definition that a woman can achieve that is extremely beautiful. When something kicks in and a woman develops that very bulky musculature that it starts to lack feminitity. To achieve that bulk however is a conscious choice by that woman ..thus she probably likes how it looks and doesn't care what some "curvy" woman thinks about it all.
When I was running the other day there were 100's of other runners I came across and I thought the women with definition in their upper bodies looked darn good and I would venture a guess that if on the beach in a bikini there isn't a head these women wouldn't have turned...they were gorgeous0 -

Sarah Jessica Parker is built like a stick, I think she still forgets to eat....0 -
I absolutly think it is!!!0

I don't think women with bodybuilder type muscles are at all sexy. Curves are much more attractive to me. Toned is better than jiggly though.0

I can tell you what's NOT sexy.
Having no confidence
not being able to get up and run around with your friends
struggling to get in and out of cars
whining about how your body hurts
living like a blob
So, are muscles sexy? I'm not attracted to women, so it's hard for me to say what's sexy, but I do think they look nice. No, body builders do not look nice, but I've never seen one in person anyway. However, a woman who is strong, and can fend for herself is gorgeous.0 -
I like a little muscle definition, but also a little flesh (okay, fat.. just a little) over it. I don't like the Jillian Michaels look of buldging man-like muscled on a woman, but neither do I like the "look at my ribs and collar bones" skinny look, or the "I can wave with my hand and upper arm" flabby look. I just like a fit, healthy, curvy look.0

LOL! Forgive me for saying this, but no matter how much weight I lose and how muscle-y I get, I'll still have plenty of T & A for the hubs to stare at.0 -
I'd rather be toned and muscular than flabby and dimply!0
-
go to a title nine catalog...those women rock!!!! everyone of them is a picture of health and strength and look beautiful....0
-
Strong & healthy = sexy on anyone. I agree with the others that I think your friends was trying to up her own self esteem by making the statement.0
-
It depends. For example: the Madonna, skinny little muscles that almost look anorexic...not so much.0
-
I think so...and so does my husband!0
-
Depends on the person you ask, personally I think its ok as long as its not full on body builder style, I like boobs so too much muscle generally means less boob, unless they are fake which is worse again, sooo, depends who you ask..0

Who looks better? Same scale weight - 125 pounds.

I agree. Other than her...I gotta say definition on a women is a beautiful thing!! I was doing one of JM's workouts yesterday and the 2 girls she had in the back of her had the best arms definition I have ever seen on a female. I was in awe and very jealous!!:)0 -

Weight doesnt = sexy tho, I prefer the girl on the right though, whats that prove?0 -
I think a little is sexy but if women gets to the point where she loses her natural curves is not.0

She's just showing that 2 women at the same body weight can look totally different. The weight is irrelevant; proves that women with muscle ARE sexy.0 -
Jessica Biel and Angela Bassett have definition. I consider them (as do many) as very sexy.I got into a bit of a debate yesterday with a friend of mine, who is a little curvy who told me that because I'm more toned now that muscles on women aren't sexy!!!!
I adore my arms and shoulders because they are defined, my legs are also toned and quite muscley but not ridiculously so. I have MFP friends who are stunningly beautiful with and without muscle definition and would like your opinions please, not because I intend to change but just because I'd like to know0
