    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.

    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.

    So by your rational if I said your fat makes you look like an elephant that would be ok? Its not your face that makes you look like one, but your fat that does it. So it must be ok right?

    My boyfriend commented on my back muscles while we were busy in bed. While I'm proud in other situations, that one was a bit of a mood killer.

    see, that's your problem right there - you should have been on top. that way he'd have something different to comment about. No need to thank me for the advice :)

    "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?

    I have no clue why, but even after months of lifting I can not open a jar... What lifts can I do to be able to independently open a damn jar? Lol I feel ridiculous because half the time I closed it and I still can't open it!

    You'll have to get those rock climber finger/hand trainer things... :P

    Or knock a dent into the cap with the dull side of a knife to break the air tight seal. Then you can open it right up. Did that when I had no muscles and no strength all the time. Things are much better now, but I can still open a jar of pickles. One of my strongest assets. :happy:

    I also find that if I take that thing that pops a hole in the top of the can (I don't know what it's called, LOL, but it usually also has a bottle opener on the other end) and nudge it under the rim of the lid in a couple of places where it pulls away from the jar a tiny bit, that gives some air inside to allow you to open it.

    No, but see we're not allowed to have a different opinion in a thread specifically about lady muscles. Or something...

    I'm soft and I assure you that I'm nobody's ideal body....actually, heading to the gym right now to LIFT HEAVY .

    Ladies with muscles, you are my inspiration!!

    The is a public forum, hence why I'm allowed to post that I am annoyed and to ask those who are annoying me to stop it. They obviously don't have to....

    My man does find my muscular back sexy.

    And this is why saying "Oh it's just my opinion!" is not a shield from criticism. I'm sure you ladies hate hearing what was said above, you should. But now you know how it feels when you call girls who lift "men" (or manly or masculine or however you're trying to mask it).

    In a more positive, less argumentative light...

    I really really want more muscles. I've fallen in love with lifting and the positive changes I've experienced because of it. As crazy as it sounds, I'm even starting to like what I see in the mirror. I'm starting to feel attractive for the first time in my adult life. And I still have 60 lbs to lose before I'm at a "healthy" BMI.

    I think women with muscles are beautiful and I'm working on makin' some muscles of my own.

    THIS...is the same mentality I try to instill in the guys that work for me...

    Work SMART, not HARD!!

    At the gym on the other hand...yeah =D.
