Girls who lift aren't sexy!

"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.

I usually can find something attractive about any woman, but she doesn't look beautiful or healthy at all. [/img]

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

How about a 2 pack?

Right?

Le sigh. Because this looks totally way more healthy and beautiful:




:grumble:

Right-- because if don't have hulking muscles with veins popping out your only other option is to be emaciated. THERE IS NO MIDDLE GROUND!!

I think what was meant by this was:
That main stream media portrays the very thin model types as being ideal and "beautiful" but in fact there is more than one ideal of beauty. This is slowly shifting away from super thin to healthier body images. And that I think is a good thing, hopefully one day will come that a healthy teenage girl will no longer consider herself obese when she does not look like so and so on a magazine cover.

First impressions..... I think she is hot because she is excelling in a job dominated by men, a job most women could not (or probably wouldn't want to) do. That shows great individualism and a sense of personal strength, not just physical strength. Disclaimer: I have not yet read the news story about her and know nothing about her but I intend to read it because I think she must be an interesting person.

Would I personally like to get down to that level of body fat %? No. But I admire her dedication in doing so. It's not something that is easy to do. She does look incredibly hot in the softer pics, and who wouldn't want to look like that?

So, I vote "HOT", and not solely on her looks.

Sex appeal per se remains a subjective topic or view, indifferent to body shape or hierarchy of the perceived 'beauty' - as in reproductive value = 1 girls with muscle, 2 = girls with large 'this', small 'that', 3 = girls with... so on and so forth.

Girls with muscle? My vote is YES, however not an 'ideal' EVERYONE needs to or should strive for! :flowerforyou:

PS: Does anybody find intellect sexy?:blushing:
