Are muscled/defined women attractive?

If the chick looks like she may give me some go in a fight, the answer is no.
You generally get into physical fights with the women you're in a relationship with?
Yes. And I am tired of losing, so I stopped dating chicks that were stronger than me. I joined this site because I wanted to turn my life around!

Heck, yes it is sexy! I wonder how many guys are actually jealous because they don't have the disciplined, determination andwork ethic to reach the fitness level she has.0

I think its possible that it's many. I dated a guy a few years ago and had him come to the gym with me. He was destroyed in just the warm up and wanted to leave after like 5 minutes cause he was embarrassed. I wasn't even that strong, all I was doing was playing soccer and going to the gym once a week.
Personally, I don't think there is ever any reason for a man to not be physically stronger than a woman. Its not to say women are weak but a mans potential as far as physical strength goes is just so much higher. A guy casually going to the gym can get pretty strong without that much effort really so for him to be weak just shows pure laziness. *
*This only applies if everything is done naturally and everyone is in good health.0 -
To the posters preaching female body acceptance: I definitely agree, women in America need to stop hating their bodies, it has become epidemic.
That said, I never claimed to dislike my body now, nor will I hate it if I am "ripped" and men are intimidated by that. I didn't intend for this thread to hate on muscled women or those who are not muscled. It was simply an opinion question with a follow-up of why? I have found it interesting that a lot of people admire the dedication that is obviously below the surface of a women with a low body fat, because that is most likely indicative of other positive qualities. I also have appreciated comments explaining why they don't personally find this body type attractive. It provides perspective.0 -

Unless you have a habit of trying to beat women, I don't see how this would even be an issue :huh:
I feel like most strong and well built men have little issue with dating a strong and fit women. The guy's in my gym love the rare strong women who come to the weight room and work out with them. It's the little wimpy guys (sorry!) that have the biggest issue with their girl being in great shape. It's understandable too. I wouldn't date a guy who is weaker than me so I get why a guy wouldn't date a girl who can out-lift him at the gym.
lol. This is an opinion based question. I am a pretty big dude. For a chick to look like she can give me some go, she is a lot bigger than the average female. I already get enough problems being bigger than most people I encounter. I don't want to tag team it with some buff girl on my hip as well. Imagine having dinner with a WWE wrestler and one of those WWE chicks. UNCOMFORTABLE.
She'd have to be on steroids too so I'm sure other issues could be involved as well. I based this more on a low bf% defined woman, not really one with big steroid induced muscles :flowerforyou:
I just thought it was a little strange a guy would worry about physically fighting a women. It just seems like its happened before lol
Lol. Women that workout hard are hot. That "give me some go" line works a lot better when out with friends and an actual muscle chick walks into the room. Lesson learned.

Sorry if I came off as preachy, but sadly, threads like these usually turn into a body-bashing-fest against muscled fit women. A lot of us who have been here a while have seen it and have strong opinions about it. I've seen some of my friends here be hurt and insulted before by people who tend to gravitate to these threads to tell us all how gross and disgusting they find women with muscle. There is a subculture here that seems to bash anyone skinny or fit while bashing of someone who is obese or overweight is frowned upon.
I still stand by original statement, however, that it doesn't really matter. You'll probably get a lot of people on here saying that they find it unattractive and several saying otherwise. It's just like Rubybelle's comparison of blonde versus brunette versus redhead.0 -

^^^^^Amen to that!!!0 -
These threads are right up there with...
Do you think moles are sexy ?
Every one has their own perception of attraction. Me, personally I have been attracted to muscled woman and I have NOT been attracted to muscled women, I have been attracted to heavier women and I have NOT been attracted to heavier women, I have dated girls that around 100lbs I have dated girls in the 250 range.
Certain people are going to preferences, that is a matter of life.
There is no magic, no guarantee formula that will attract a dude to you, no matter what you look like there will always be a guy who thinks you are drop dead gorgeous and another who thinks you are a monster.
You have a vagina, that is a good start for most men...0 -
Oh Geebus its late, grammar is suffering. Please don't call the internet police, I will pistol whip you.0

Personally, I think all the "beauty is on the inside" crap is pretty ridiculous. Physical beauty is on the outside. Period. I'm glad you are a great person and everything, but that doesn't mean you are beautiful. Sorry. That's just the way it is. If you want to be attractive, you can't be fat. Sure, some people will find you attractive, but that is like saying a poor American is successful in Ethiopia.
Let the angry repsonses begin!0 -
Haha, yes exactly, I think it's very threatening to a mans ego. Personally I think it looks amazing, it shows a hell of a lot of hard work and determination and a lot of us can only aspire to one day looking this way. Some women think they will pick up a barbell in a gym and sprout enormous 'manly' muscles the next day haha, it takes a long time to start building the smallest amount of muscle.0

Just went to the 'Strong is the new Skinny' website.
Not matter what your goal (comfortably slim or defined and muscled) the website is inspirational! Have bookmarked it!

Of course its the first thing a person see's but its not the end all be all. With that same rational it doesn't take long to see how ugly and vapid some pretty peoples insides are. Hopefully you can learn to stop being so judgmental one day
Don't forget it's not just being fat that's the only potential unattractive quality. People also get old so I hope that doesn't turn them automatically ugly too.0 -

A bit harsh! But its the beautiful people who seem to have it easy as the perception goes.0 -
I don't have a 6 pack but I have gained a good amount of muscle in my upper body and legs and wondered this same thing. I never "liked" the look of muscular women before I started doing crossfit. Now that I have a little muscle I can't decide if I like it or not. It's interesting to see everyones opinion though.0

Sorry to disappoint you, but this won't be an angry response
I take your point that physical beauty is on the outside. That is very true.
But, not everybody finds the same physical characteristics attractive.. You can see that from the responses on this thread. Some people love the idea of the muscly look on a woman, others not so much. You only have to read the frequent "black women" threads on MFP to read comments from black women saying that many men like bigger women and don't like it if their girlfriends are thin. So - it's all about point of view, cultural expectation and personal preference.
You might not find a fat person attractive. That's your point of view and it is absolutely correct. For you.
Not necessarily for everyone else though.0 -
Personally, I don't find super ripped women very attractive... I like them to look flat, yet soft... still with a little something to poke at. I like them to LOOK "skinny fat", but still be very strong lol
Haha, THIS!
I wanna look skinny fat, yet be strong. I just don't wanna "be" skinny fat.
I already was skinny fat as a teen, not gonna happen again! 0 -
I love the look of a well toned female body - just some nice definition, but not super ripped as I thin kI just associate that with being quite masculine. I'm not bothered about having a visible 6-pack, but having a flat, nicely toned tummy would be wonderful as I've never had that.0

Agreed! Sorry, I'm not marrying you just because you're a nice dude. You gotta be hot too!0 -
Running with my other half I can leave her standing - love it.... and it's not the beating it's just amusing to see her reaction - I can because of traits she loves.
I think if you dont like the look the alpha male in you feels threatened ... what do the guys who don't like look like?0 -
Sexy with a capital S!!0

muscles dont deter me or attract me to a gal. abs are the same. slim to toned is great. and if a gal i wanted to date wanted to get low bodyfat for a competition it wouldnt bother me, we all know thoose low bodyfat levels are not year round and in the off season it would be to what most people consider the norm. also lets face it, when a photo is taken you tense your abs, normally you wouldnt tense it the same and it looks alot better when definition is already there0
-
I don't like how I look with defined muscles, but being straight, I don't care how other women look. I can admire muscles, but it isn't something I find attractive, on men or women.
I am saying this as someone with a fair bit of muscle. I do sometimes think I look like a man in a dress.0 -
Sexy, seductive, sensual...etc. For average women- those women who say it is not - are lazy enough to have that kind of goal/fintess and those men who who say it is not- are themselves not muscular. Well, not included in my universe are the professional female bodybuilders!
More than anything else- it is reflection of commitment and hard work!0 -
I love a girl who could kick my *kitten*. There is a tipping point though. The scary looking body builder type is too much.0

Women should stop caring what others think of their bodies and worry about being fit and healthy and living their best life possible. I can appreciate wanting to be attractive, but the truth is that it doesn't matter if you're lean and fit, have abs, have flab, have rolls. Someone is going to find you attractive, and someone is going to find you unattractive. Be who you want to be. Let the rest of the world judge as they see fit.
FWIW, I think women who are fit are incredibly admirable and beautiful from the inside out. Same goes for women who make their health and fitness a priority in life even if they aren't ripped.
