I am annoyed with the anti-lady-muscle posts.

soccer moms with muscles are so much hotter to me these days then skinny college girls. all thanks to this site.
Well that just made my day!!!!
(yes, I know that you were not talk about me directly, but I will take a compliment any way that I can get!! haha)
TinkrBelz, in the most non-stalker way possible, you were who popped into my head when I read his comment! Your muscles are not masculine in the least. You have a body that makes the rest of us jealous!
Awww...shucks!! Thanks!! haha!
I think everyone has different preferences. I like my little muscles. There is a female body builder at my gym, man she looks so good! But, I do not want to be as big as she is. BUT, I would assume that she looks at me and thinks, "look at those tiny arms!! I think some prefer big muscles on a woman and others prefer smaller muscles on a woman....but we can definitely appreciate the hard work that any size muscular woman puts into attaining her goal.0 -
How is calling a woman "masculine" not insulting and rude?
It IS insulting and rude!0 -
I deadlift twice my body weight and I definitely don't have "boy muscles."
Woman - picking up and putting down weights will not turn you into a SHE-MAN!
To each her own...you are in much better health than me, and that's to be commended. But your muscles are pretty masculine. The high jumper pic, which fit and muscular, is more what I ascribe to be one day...still soft and womanly, but strong and fit.
Wow this is one of the rudest thing I ever saw here.
How about you post a pic of yourself so we can critic you?
What is so rude? I commended her for the dedication she gives to her health and admitted that she is in far better health than I am.
You insulted her appearance. Go ahead and post your body. If you can dish out insults, then be prepared to accept them. Go on, do it. I dare you.
PS You were exceptionally rude.0 -
I dig this thread title and the way it has gone! (Other than people trolling it)0

This is my body image ideal:
Go ahead and tell me she looks "masculine"...
I like this one too. Maybe my legs and shoulders/arms will look similar a few years from now

There's a difference between expressing a preference for something else like an adult, and saying "Eww, that's gross/ugly/ you looka lika man."So stop it. Thanks.
So because you have a preference for your body to be one way, no one is allowed to express their preference for something else?
Well, I can say, I have not seen posts that say that, but agree that is obnoxious if it's happening. The posts I've seen have been more to the, "Not the look I'm going for," type replies.
In this thread, a woman was called masculine. How is that even close to okay? If someone called me masculine, they damn well had better have a banging body or I'm calling them soft. Since the only difference between what people call "masculine" and "feminine" is body fat %. Hell, soft would probably be the nicest thing I would say.
Actually her muscles were called masculine looking which isn't the same as saying she is/looks masculine. ETA: though I agree it's unnecessary to say that. But I meant in other threads I've read which was what lead me to my original comment.0 -
If your a women ( or man) and not lifting heavy your missing the boat!!0

Damn I need to be running if my butt will look like that!! :bigsmile:Nice thread, but needs pics
That my dear...is not a runners butt lol.Here's a newsflash - I'm annoyed by pro-lady muscle posts, since I don't like muscles on ladies. However, I do not complain about it because everyone is entitled to personal taste. So stop complaining.

^^ This.. going in to a post that has to do with women lifters and then say one of them is masculine. :::::facepalm:::
Seriously, don't even try to defend your comment. It was beyond rude.0 -

lol you basically are saying she looks like a man...how is that not rude? how do you feel when people comment on your weight?0 -
Never ever wanted to lift a barbell.. Only wanted to do machines and dumbbells.
Then my trainer got me started on barbell lifting and now I'm hooked... Got better looking, *kitten*, ab's and arms then I ever did before.
Lift ladies.. and enjoy the results 0 -

Yay for lady muscles!! :drinker:
To the few that are saying they don't like these sort of posts, the problem is not with those who say "Muscles are not my thing" or similar. The problem is with those people that when presented with a picture of a woman with muscles, says "Eww, that's disgusting, she looks like a man!" "Not feminine at all" or "Where are her curves?? Women are meant to be soft!"
Those sorts of negative comments are just plain rude, and usually posted on topics specifically about women with muscles. Here's an idea, if you don't like women with muscles, and don't agree with the topic, how about you just ignore it and go find a topic you do like (unless they asked specifically for people's opinion, in which case, you still don't need to be rude about it!)
I'm not talking about anyone in particular, it's just these sorts of comments crop up all the time. Can't people just be polite and not be rude about other people's bodies? Everyone has different preferences. If I saw a topic celebrating overweight women, I'd just ignore it. If an opinion was asked for in the topic, I at least would try not to be rude in the process.0 -
Personally, and I am new here so don't know the history here, I think anyone male or female looks better when they are in good shape. That's one of the reasons this 50 year old fart wants to lose his beer gut and get back into shape (and I don't mean round, I am already that shape).0
-
So stop it. Thanks.
Im sorry what was the question? I couldn't stop drooling from your own muscular physique
Missed this. Thank you.0 -
I THINK - that women who show this kind of devotion and motivation, whether muscled, dreaming of being muscled, or somewhere in between, are awesome.0

Dude, you said she looks masculine. That's pretty effing rude.
Ok normally I don't give 2 sh!ts but the girls first comment was that muscles won't turn you into a she-man, so then the other poster comes back and gives her COMPLIMENTS but also states that her MUSCLES not HER look masculine. she is answering to the first quote and it's her opinion, whether you like it or not she is allowed to have it. AGAIN she said her MUSCLES were masculine not her face or anything else and again she was answering to the SHE-MAN comment. Sheesh and she even compliments her, how else would you have her say it? Probably not at all I am guessing............it's obvious she was dead in the water the second she touched the enter button.0 -
You, miss...have the most amazing abs!!! :flowerforyou:I deadlift twice my body weight and I definitely don't have "boy muscles."

You can say whatever you want about me, since I used the word masculine. I never said it was unattractive or manly. And I also made it very clear that my body by comparison is subpar. I have a preference about the look I'm going for...it's no the same as some people on here, and that's quite OK.0 -
"Women are meant to be soft!"
This one annoys me the most. Why can't we redefine what women are "meant" to look like? Why do we have to appear weak? We can go to college now, have jobs, pay bills, but we can't be strong? We can't open our own jars of pickles, or pick up 50lb 6 year olds, swing 20lb sledge hammers as a seismic source, load full coolers into trucks, or fill out the *kitten* in a pair of work trousers?0 -
I agree, hit it hard ladies.

lol@calling her masculine...she is far from it..she looks great. most people cant come close to her dedication.
As I said, it's a personal opinion. I wish I had that kind of dedication, but if I did, that's not the look I'm going for. My personal body-inspirations are Christina Hendricks and Kate Winslet. Bottom line is if you think you look great, then you are succeeding. Other people's opinions of your body type don't matter.
If you posted a progress pic and I made the comment "Well its commendable that you have lost the weight and are getting healthy but I think you look too fat, it certainly wouldn't be my goal to look like you" people would jump on me from a great height.
We have a whole thread on hurtful experiences people have had when someone has critqued their body about being too overweight or too skinny. I am sure that your post was not intentionaly meant to be offensive..but it is.
Other peoples opinions voiced outloud about our bodies do effect you, there is a huge thread supporting that conclusion.0 -

This is why I love you.
I totally approve of this!
The age of women as "weak" has come and gone. Strong is sexy! Whether that be physically strong... emotionally, mentally, spiritually, or all of the above0 -
muscular ladies are HOT0

FYI: Masculine means 'manly', so yes, you called her manly.0
