    "A nice thought, but I'm not sure why that would be a response to my comment. I also feel that an extremely muscular athletic build is just as difficult to attain as the anorexic supermodel look (probably more difficult-- it's easier to just not eat than spend hours in the gym every day). It may be a slightly healthier ideal, but it's still an ideal. You don't think healthy teenager girls might see someone like this one day and hate themselves for not being able to look like her?"



    ^^^^^ It's easier to just not eat than to spend hours at the gym????? Ummm...you are sadly, sadly mistaken. Eating next to nothing and starving yourself is not easy or fun. Please excuse me while I scarf down my 700 calorie lunch to make sure I hit my 2000 cals for the day. I have fun in the gym. Yes....I work my *kitten* off, but I enjoy every minute of it and so does every other woman who lifts heavy. It's why we do what we do.

    Oh.....and women who lift heavy are not "slightly" healthier than an anorexic. Anorexia is a serious mental and physical sickness. Anorexics are not healthy at all. A fit woman who lifts heavy, has low body fat and is as strong as an ox is the epitome of "healthy"

    I spend about 1.5 hours a week at the gym.

    So....? You don't look anything like her.

    Except for the gun (and liking Nascar), she's perfect.

    I have to admire the dedication and effort behind Ms. Abbott's results.

    Unfortunately, I do not admire the results.

    I think that she's gotten the results she's wanted and I'm sure a ton of people find her attractive.

    I just find 6 packs on a woman way too much. Love women that lift, but the 6 pack is a turn off for me.

    I'm sure a lot of people dont find me attractive either. But I am "mostly" ok with who I am so I don't need their approval and I'm sure she doesnt need mine.

    Maybe the reason "people" feel ashamed of the way they look is because people say things like:
    I usually can find something attractive about any woman, but she doesn't look beautiful or healthy at all. [/img]

    I'm sorry it upsets you so much, but I don't find her attractive. Am I not allowed to not find her attractive? It's not even the muscles, so much, as the sickly looking leathery skin and the veins and the look in her eyes. She doesn't look all that well to me.

    Opps. Sorry. I wasn't imply that. But I do feel I have a "fit muscular build".

    As do I. But we are a far cry from THAT.

    The main difference between someone like her and some one like myself is body fat levels. I do not want to be that lean, but I do admire her strength and her muscles and I do think she's attractive.

    This is pretty much my thought. I'm not at my goal weight (by a good bit) but before I gained weight, I lifted heavy but I have never looked like that (nor do I desire to look like that). Maintaining a healthy body fat percentage is important to me and I find muscles coupled with healthy amount of body fat much more attractive than either alone.

    Edit to add: Of course, this is just my opinion and I'm not saying that women with a very low or very high body fat percentage are unattractive. I'm just stating what my ideal is.

    Oh for God's sake people, this is the internet, don't take it so seriously. People disagree with you. No need to bust a nut about it.

    If I busted a nut every time someone disagreed with me...well, I'd spend a lot more time in forums... :blushing:

    2 packs are money :) The only time I want a woman coming over with a six pack is if its actually beer.

    Anyone else think she looks a bit like Jodie Foster in this picture?

    (I really just wanted a reason to quote this picture, it's my favourite)

    The look of determination on her face is just breathtaking.
