Women who lift are hot. All of them. There's something sexy about it. If you don't think like me then you're a weirdo.
It's one of the most attractive traits I find in a woman. Period. To each there own, I guess... Buncha weirdos.0 -
So how come OP can say that girls that lift are sexy (which basically says girls that don't are not sexy) yet no one else can have an opinion and say its not sexy :huh:
I may be out of line speaking for Taunto, but I *seriously* doubt that's what he was saying.
Obviously I don't think he was, and on the same token I "seriously" don't think that people who say the don't like it are saying that there is something wrong for her for looking that way.
Taunto didn't say anything at all about girls that don't lift, he was just celebrating a girl who does, so I don't think your comparison makes sense.
At any rate, there were people who respectfully stated their opinion that this look isn't for them, and that's fine. That's not what people are reacting to. I'm not trying to achieve this look either, but there's no need to be insulting.
How does the comparison not make sense? It's the same thing. He said its sexy. Some said its not. Yes I agree people being ugly about her great fitness level is wrong. But each and every one's opinion is valid, which was my point. And at any rate me and Taunto are cool, he knows I wasn't bashing him :drinker:
Maybe I misunderstood you. It seemed like you were saying that a person calling one body type sexy is the same as saying that other body types are not. ie; Women who lift are sexy = women who don't lift are not. To me that's just not the case.
Now if the OP had said "Women who lift are sexy, women who don't look like potatoes" then that would be the same thing, IMO0 -
YUCK
good grief, people..... and yuck to you, too. Is that nice? No. So, maybe don't say it to or about others.0 -
Can i please transplant her arms and her *kitten* onto me? Shes gorgeous and while i dont know if i could pull of that low a body fat percentage, she certainly can. Good for her!0

Beyond aesthetics, the fourth photo shows something few other weight training photos do - building muscle makes you STRONG and capable of doing awesome things. When weighing up the pros and cons, people seem to forget this :flowerforyou:
THIS0 -
I definitely appreciate all the hard work and dedication it took for her to get to that level...props. However, not something I normally find attractive
You are my hero today!0 -
YUCK
How is that a nice thing to say about somebody who worked so hard to reach a goal? You don't have to encourage them but after the struggle they went through, you could have just said "Not my cup of tea" and thats if you MUST say something.
Would you say that to a woman you're related to if she worked this hard to get to a goal she set out for herself?0 -
Oh my! I thought she looked good before but she looks fantastic there! If she's doing the competition circuit they want to see muscle groups so she would need an exceptionally low body fat ratio anyway. Cut the woman some slack. She's worked hard for that body!
Here she is trying (and succedding!) to look hot.
Is this look 'soft' enough for the nay-sayers?0 -
Who is this anyhow?

Christmas Abbott. Same girl in the OP.0 -
IN to support girls who lift.0

I'm in love with her sheer strength!! I'm not aiming to get that ripped, but she looks gooooooood!!0
-
I showed this photo to my husband saying it was the body I am aiming for, he looked at me with a shocked face and said "you're going to tan?"
Does anyone know who this is? (I may have just swooned a little)0 -
ok there is only so far a girl can go with lifting before she starts to look like she has a mans body......... girls that lift are sexy just not when they get too much muscle and no fat to cover it, i like a bit of fat i dont mind being skinny fat just not fat like i am now and so i look toned but not too toned, i dont disagree with women wanting muscle but my opinion is i dot think it looks good. women are meant to have boobs not a man like chest like you see in pics posted.. sorry if i have offended anyone but this again is my opinion x
I've been lifting for 4 years. I have a rack, I am curvy and I am as girly girl as you can get. And I outlift my cousin who's twice my size and 10 years younger. So yeah, no.0 -
Love these. And calm down, chickies who don't want to 'bulk up' it takes years of serious dedication to get even half the body these women have. Good for them, too. And I bet not a single one of them looks at a plate with a dried up crust of bread and a celery stick on it and worries about gaining weight.
I would swap physiques with any of them, except it would be a waste because I'd likely not put the work in to maintain it. Plus one angry, newly squishy body builder would be hunting me down to get her body back!0 -
Why does EVERYTHING have to come down to whether a woman is "sexy" or not? -_- Oh right, patriarchy.
^^^^ THIS!!!
exactly!! Maybe her goals are not related to whether men find her sexy or not, but whether she can lift enough to do the work that she wants to do. (FTR I think she looks great). There is way more to life and people than sexual attraction.

re body shaming - a preference is one thing, coming to a thread like this (as some have done) and stating that xyz is not what you prefer is another, and being able to state it without putting others down is a third thing. I have a preference for men to have body hair. Would I go into a thread someone made about a man whose physique they admire and say "I don't think he's sexy because he doesn't have any body hair" or worse, "he looks like a woman because he doesn't have any body hair"? (which isn't my opinion BTW, but I have seen that opinion expressed on this forum and consider it body shaming. A man without body hair is still a man and no more or less manly than any other.).............. having an opinion for one particular body type or characteristic does not give you the right to insult those who have a different type of body (don't even get me started on "real women have curves" and the like.... you can celebrate curvy women without putting down non-curvy women....)
re masculine and feminine - it wasn't until I studied anthropology at university that I realised that so much of what I'd grown up thinking were universal truths, were nothing but cultural norms with no biological reality. A lot of people in the west may consider long hair, make-up, dresses, lack of visible muscles, not displaying physical strength, being softly spoken and so on, to be synonymous with "feminine" - yet this is just culture, not biology. You see the woman in my avatar? Most modern western people would probably say she's not very feminine. However, she would have had her own set of cultural norms which may have included a definition of "feminine" or "female-like" (she's a reconstruction of an actual individual who lived tens of thousands of years ago) and it's highly unlikely that her definition of feminine would have matched the modern western cultural definition. It's more likely that "feminine" by her standards included being strong enough to defend her kids from attack. Some palaeoanthropologists believe that neanderthal women hunted alongside the men, if that's the case then "feminine" may have included the ability to take down a large animal, close range, with a spear. Whatever her cultural definition of feminine was, it was no more or less valid than anyone else's, and there are a myriad different cultures in the world today, never mind the number of cultures that have ever existed, each with their own norms.
Cultural norms are problematic when they constrain people to be a particular way that isn't right for them, or when they lead to some people berating others because they don't fit those norms. Unfortunately most cultures are guilty of this to a lesser or greater extent, and people really need to learn just how much their opinions are the product of their culture, and not universal truths. When you understand that, it's easy to break from from cultural norms that constrain you, and stop constraining others by them, and stop berating people who don't fit them. Going back to muscular women - there is nothing unfeminine about muscular women. If muscle wasn't feminine, women wouldn't have muscles.0 -

A man's body? Not only is that incredibly insulting to any woman who lifts heavy and aspires to look like her, but just because *you* think a woman should be soft and squishy does not mean that a ripped, amazing woman like her has a "man's" body. She is a woman, she is feminine, and there's nothing about her that is manly.
Opinions are opinions. Just that. When someone asks a wide variety of people a question you're going to get all kinds of them. She is not trying to offend anyone, she is just stating her opinion of which she is entitled. I think hard bodies are sexy and that girl looks fantastic (not like a man at all) but I take no offense to what she has said as she was asked what she personally thought! Not sure why people get so worked up about others answers.
Then you don't mind me saying you remind me of a whale?
No need to get insulted or worked up about my answer.
Lol. Well I didnt ask your opinion so that's different.. But if you think I look like a whale then so be it! I certainly know I dont look like one and that's all that matters.

don't worry I agree with you.
Yes people opinions are like @$$ holes....EVERYone has one. She stands for a different one and gets ridiculed. Grow up people0 -

Should point out, you don't but that is the logic you are using.
Not really.. If I asked you for your opinion and thats what you had to say then for sure... But when you create a post and ask for people's opinions on something other's shouldn't get worked up about their answers. She wasn't attacking a specific individual. She just stated that she wasn't a fan of that body type and that she wasn't trying to offend anyone :P0 -
I think the women that have to share their negative opinion are jealous and insecure. These are the same women that have a lot of work to do on their own bodies.0

I barely have boobs, I have what I call lady pecs....this is how I am build. I gave birth to 6 kids, so I guess I am a woman. Lifting made me more sexy and I finally love my body instead of the self loating i lived with for 30+ years.0 -

Well that was my point: When people are saying that they don't like it for themselves people are reading more into it, and acting like they are saying something negative. This is as asinine as anyone thinking since OP said Because she lifts she is sexy i.e. girls that don't lift are not. (damn sarcasm doesn't go over too well through the net without my condescending tone and half *kitten* smirk :grumble:)0 -

HAHAHHA!!! That is not what I do when I am in the presence of such HOTNESS! *checks underwear* Yes that is not what I do!0
