None of them, they all look great but they are all competitive dieters. I have better things to do with my incredible physique than make it weak through repeated bouts of intensive fat loss.0

Guess all those farm wives back in the day were really masculine then.0 -
I'm with most other people who have responded to this thread. The bikini example is still mostly feminine, but further defined just loses all attractiveness. The only caveat with the bikini version (for me) is that she look like she might have implants. Those will make any woman instantly unattractive, regardless of her build.
Personally, 25-28%BF... with enough muscle to shape up all the right places... is right in my wheelhouse. Wouldn't you know it, that just happens to be what my wife is currently shooting for
Please stop defining femininity by muscle definition. They are hardly related.
Just because you want the term "feminine" to have a different definition, doesn't mean you can just change it. The word means what it means, and I used it correctly.

A lil more muslce than bikini, a lil more body fat than fitness. Lol or something like that;)0

Right now I am working toward bikini. I hope to be there by next summer. I would like to eventually be at the fitness level.0

I like the "fitness model" look. I don't think I can make it an "everyday" look, but I'm a little more muscular than the "bikini-look", on an everyday basis.0

Ummm wow....I don't even know how to respond to something so inflammatory! I am surprised this comment hasn't been (rightfully) attacked yet. :huh:
Edited for spelling error. Oopsie!0 -
Somewhere between bikini & fitness.0
-
bikini with bigger muscles.
This.
I like the muscle size of fitness and figure, but wouldn't want quite as much definition as any of those 2. However, I'd like more definition (and muscle) than in the bikini one.
This too0 -
dunno if shes up there but I'll take Nicole wilson all day urryday0

From those options, bikini.
However, for myself, I prefer a less muscular look than that even. Small, skinny, but firm (no jiggle) is my ideal.
ETA: I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with those looks, but it's certainly not realistic for the average women and none of them are my personal ideal for myself.0 -
For myself? None.
Maybe bikini model, but more likely off-season bikini model. They're all fantastic and I admire the dedication, but I'm not willing to make the necessary compromises to my life to be competition level lean. I'd rather hover at a little bit higher body fat percentage, because at that level, I know I don't have to restrict myself in any way.
