Are men interested in women with muscles?

I am pretty sure these ladies don't give a crap about what ''men'' like. I sure don't.

I don't need a thread like this one to tell me that it's okay to look the way I WANT to look because men will like it. Because if they wouldn't I would have to strive for something else?! Please.

Muscular is good, looking like there are steroids/male hormones is not good, imo. Isa Olsson of Barbella's Universe comes to mind. She's crazy strong, but it's like... stealth muscle.

Also, I suppose it's great not to care what men might want, but then if that is so, why not just ignore the thread?

puts hand up... I am!

I decided that I wanted a 6 pack. So I worked hard, really hard, and got to the point where I had one. I did it for me. I never thought that perhaps there would be guys there who wouldn't want to date me as a result.

When I first encountered that, it stung a bit... For a moment...

but then I realized...
I'm 6'1"... there are some men who wouldn't like that
I'm blonde... there are some men who prefer brunettes, or red heads, etc
I'm not big chested... there are some men who prefer big boobs.
I am pretty intelligent... there are some men who don't like that.
I have a decent income... there are some men who don't like that... they want their woman to earn less...

In the end... WHO GIVES A CRAP?

The one who loves me, will love me for ME... all of me. Height, hair, muscles, brains, money (or lack thereof)... and all the rest are entitled to their own opinions without judgement from me.


I am ME. I am happy with ME. I don't plan on changing ME to suit what I think the 'average' man wants... because men are not the Borg. They don't have a collective mind on what is appealing and what is not. Each one is unique.

And I am thankful for that.

Also, I suppose it's great not to care what men might want, but then if that is so, why not just ignore the thread?

simply because there are too many people out there who don't realize that they don't need to care.

Everyone is so butthurt ITT

Please... use lube people

Because we're allowed to express our opinions on a public forum? I mean, we have been allowed out the kitchen for awhile...had to find something to do.

what?? since when??

Is anyone else sick and tired of people using the term body shaming all the time?

[waving hands] Me!!!

ITT the OP doesn't even lift.

I should know better to ask a rhetorical question of someone on a forum who has over 13,000 posts. It used to be a pastime of mine to engage in the endless, fruitless back and forth, but now... meh. Got other things to do.

But my point of view was not anti-woman, though that poster seems to want to make it so. I merely espouse a live and let live attitude, but that is not conducive to racking up thousands of posts, a great number of which are no doubt devoted to the deliberate choice of taking offense.

Good grief. Someone is always getting butthurt here. It is sad

what's funny, is that people often assume butthurt when there is none
