    I much prefer a flat tummy, not that I'll ever get one with my post baby stretch marks/extra skin.

    I don't think abs especially full 6 pack ones are at all healthy for women. Too achieve it you have to have a BF below the optimum range. It's also not very feminine. Women may find a 6 pack hot on another woman, but I don't know any men (in RL) who find it a turn on.

    Genetics play a big role in that. I get defined abs really easily and I like what I've got. I know not everyone is gonna like the lean look but I like working out way too much to stop just so I can look "softer". :)

    I am certainly aiming for the six pack!! I have the flat tummy and not satisfied :( I feel like I will look sickly by the time my body fat is that low >.< Not everyone's cup of tea! But I personally love it:] Shows hard work and dedication!

    I'm thinking her abs (as awesome as they are) are probably airbrushed a little to add depth for the photo, like they did in the movie 300. Still look awesome though.

    Something in between flat and a six pack! Maybe a 2 or 4 pack. haha

    I don't like super-lean abs where you can see each of the individual abdominal muscles. But, I don't want a skinny, flat, shapeless stomach either. So yeah... something in between - nice muscles, but with a layer of fat to keep me looking softer and more feminine.

    Either way, but I won't be able to get either without surgery...

    I should add, I had a 4 pack throughout my teens/early to mid 2s, and I never much liked it.

    So today I was working with my trainer and he asked me “if I wanted to develop 6-pack abs”…I said “yes, isn’t everyone?” He told me that most of his female clients just want a flat tummy. I was shocked!!! I think well defined muscles are beautiful on the female body and don’t see that they would ever diminish my femininity.

    So ladies, which would you prefer…a flat tummy or a 6-pack?

    Flat,6 pack is not for me

    I hear a lot of people saying definition I think this is what I meant by six pack. I don't want the bulging muscles but I do want just enough definition that you can barley see them. That seems like a good middle ground for me. Just kind of a goal to work toward so I don't get to my goal and start slacking or stop working out all together.

    I do not think I want a 6 pack, I want my body fat to be 18% so it's a bit too high to see abs

    6-packs take a definite level of dedication to accomplish and maintain. If that lifestyle made it where she didn't want to go out, have fun, eat like a King every now and then, or enjoy life, then I'll pass. Life is too short to obsess about our looks and live in the gym.

    On the other hand, if she can enjoy life and have the abs, then hellz yah!!!

    I have seen your legs...it's the same commitment. if you can have those legs and still enjoy life, she can have a 6-pack and do the same!

    Personally.. I want a flat tummy. Possibly when I reach my goal I'll shoot for a mini six pack. Meaning I don't want a full on one like men get. I want defined muscles but I still want that "girly slim body" vs a bulky body.

    I'm thinking her abs (as awesome as they are) are probably airbrushed a little to add depth for the photo, like they did in the movie 300. Still look awesome though.

    Oh I know it it airbrushed for the awesome picture :D

    Just showing that abs can look good for some, even tho some good lighting and airbrushing always does a body good ;D

    I think our goals are so similar. I like just a bit of "softness" for me it's what I feel is feminine on myself.
    Those who want 6 pack abs or have them, that is awesome.

    Just not my goal.
