    Some guys will love it, some guys wont. Isnt that how attraction works? I have super-duper long hair, like, down to my butt. Some guys think its super sexy, others think its unsanitary.

    I would like to know if most women likes shoulders like these. I know most men doesn't like women having strong upper body.

    Pffft.

    What makes you say that? How am I supposed to lift the skillet or babies or bucket of mop water with a weak upper body?

    Is there an MFP version of worker's comp? I think I've injured my eyes from rolling them while reading this thread.

    The discussion is about aesthetics

    I personally like the strong, athletic look...i don't think there's anything not feminine about it...women can be strong and athletic...i don't consider that manly or anything...different people have different tastes.

    If her arms scare you...

    It says more about you than her.

    I'm sure she has a very strong core, which is a nice thing.

    Her core stands out more than her arms in that pictures?

    she looks strong. A bit of a more powerful physique

    So yes.

    With added arm, back, leg muscle it would be hard to imagine she does not have a strong body core

    But again it is so subjective

    If she likes it and feels confident and attractive

    Her partner likes it and finds her attractive

    Good things happen

    What random strangers on the internet think matters little.

    I'm know women who have arm/leg muscles and their core muscles don't look strong/built
    In which pics Britney's strong core looks more evident?

    Honestly, she isn't muscular enough in my opinion...

    The more you post the more evident it becomes that you don't know any women at all. Or real men, for that matter.

    Are you actually asking if people are attracted to Britney Spears's physique? I believe the majority vote is going to be, "yes".
    My guess is that she lifts heavy.

    How heavy do you guess she is lifting in biceps curls or bench press?
    And she could have that upper body without lifting heavy because her genetics?

    "heavy" is in terms of weight is relative...when people say lifting "heavy", they are generally referring to lifting in a low rep range at a higher % of their 1 RM, not to some specific weight...the actual weight itself would be relative to one's abilities.

    also, obviously there would be a genetic component involved...my wife is built similarly though with a little higher % of BF and she lifts in a variety of rep ranges...but she does lift regularly....my buddy's wife also works out and lifts...she is very petite and nothing is really going to change that...she'll never look like that in a million years of lifting heavy or otherwise.

    Since you're asking, yes I do find arms like these attractive. In fact, she could have even more mass and I would be just fine with it. But I have to say that, even when we're talking *just* aesthetics, muscle size and definition are only a relatively small part of the overall appearance / aesthetic package.

    And if we're talking strength, as in having a strong upper body: All else being equal, I will go with strong EVERY time because, to me, that means she's able to do more to take care of herself. Life can be unpredictable, and it loves to throw us curve balls. I've yet to hear someone complain that they were too strong for something. Whether we're talking about performing day-to-day tasks or throwing a punch to protect herself, I find self-sufficiency attractive.

    She has a layer of fat that covers and hides a good amount of her muscles

    Brittany Spears is hardly muscular - IMHO, she could benefit from a good heavy lifting program.

    Of course, this is all subjective and what YOU like doesn't mean that is what everyone else likes.

    I know?

    I would like her look more if she lost some of the fat up top and looked a little more cut. Is that better?

    IN for pics of the OP's arms, so that as a group we may determine if they are masculine looking enough

    Your average does not equal everyone else's average, just like your opinion doesn't mean it's everyone else's.

    And how about her neck? Should it thank only her genetics too? Or is result of intense/heavy workouts?
    Look

    Yes, I'm pretty sure genetics is why she has a neck. It also conveniently keeps her head from falling off.

    I'm also waiting for some pics of the OP...

    No, but I'm not attracted to women regardless of their physique. I wonder how "bulky" you think Madonna is if Britney is pushing you over the edge.
