Anything taken to extremes is going to have people think it's "gross," whether it's very thin, very fat, very muscular, very large breasts, very small breasts, yadda yadda yadda.

But a lot of people don't seem to take context into the photos. Whether or not someone is flexing, if they're at a lower body fat for a photo shoot or competition, the lighting and pose, etc.

The people who think Jamie Eason's arms are too much here...



... probably wouldn't have a problem with her arms here...



Dancing with the Stars' Karina Smirnoff looks "soft and feminine" here...



... but while dancing, her muscles pop more....



For the vast majority of women, no matter how heavy you lift, as long as you don't do steroids, have very low body fat, and walk around oiled, bronzed and flexing... you're not going to look "too" muscular.

Yup, pretty much. When people mention tans and fake breasts and being too ripped, these are all things that help figure competitors win their competitions. They don't look like that all year round.

My rule of thumb is don't jab steroids in your butt cheek and you're probably fine.

^^^^This. If you saw what most of these women look like when they aren't competing, they look like any other woman. Posing, flexing, lighting...it all makes a difference in how muscular they appear.

a perfect curvy girl is way sexier

muscles on girls is a big turn off.

Bottom line:

a) decide the kind of body you want
b) work hard toward obtaining it
c) find a partner that is attracted to your body
d) ignore everyone else's opinion

^^^ this is my goal and I think very sexy some of the other more defined pic`s posted are just alittle much IMO

I beg to differ. Some people with a penis might be intimidated, but a MAN in all caps like that wouldn't be. Because a MAN is confident and secure.

My husband had a workplace injury a month ago and is on all kinds of restrictions. I would wager money that he's thankful, not intimidated, that his wife is strong enough to move furniture, bring in the groceries, take out the trash, etc. on my own.

I bought a weight bench and weights yesterday. The box weighed more than I do. I brought it in the house myself. I'm setting it up myself now. He's still very much a man and I'm very much a woman. We just don't believe in outdated gender roles.

Edited to add: I fully support preferences. If a guy isn't attracted to a more muscular woman, fine! But if he's intimidated... ffs, grow a pair! :laugh:

I have to say that while toning is nice on girls, muscles are not. This is my opinion so please no one bash me for it!! I don't like the way it looks when women have big muscles sticking out of their arms and chest and stomach. I personally think it takes away her femininity. However, if you think it looks good and that is your goal then by all means do not let anyone get in your way! As you can see most people on here commented that they like it!

I seriously doubt any of the men in this thread who say they don't like a lot of muscle on women have said it because they are intimidated. Maybe they're just attracted to femininity and don't feel that having huge, veiny arms is particularly feminine.

I have a muscular, athletic body. It used to bother me a lot because I didn't think it was feminine. These days, since I have gotten leaner, having muscle makes me feel way sexier than these "skinny" girls walking around with cellulite all over their thighs, so I couldn't care less whether or not some random guy agrees. But I also am not going to accuse said guy of being intimidated by me if he doesn't find my body type to be attractive. He's allowed to like what he likes without being insulted.

This! I think most people that get offended by someone not finding that body type attractive are the ones who aspire to that body type,and are taking it personal.
Last time I checked is someone said they do not prefer blonds the were not told they were just intimdated by them or lying lol

Bahaha! Well I am a butt man, but I prefer a toned, rounded butt rather than one that big. Fair play to you.
