    Toned = looks healthier
    Subjective. I think "toned" doesn't look as healthy.

    Bulky means fat over muscle and non defined. Muscular means defined with low body fat. A "toned" body is one that lacks visual muscular definition, but usually lower muscle volume as well.
    Nothing wrong with a muscular back. It's the level of bodyfat that totally changes how someone looks. Here's some pics to show it:

    As you can see, bodyfat % is what makes the difference. Keep the muscles.

    I didn't say anything about the actual pictures... I just look at the women who are sooo toned that their muscles bulge and think - MASCULINE. III would not want this for myself- however we all want different things and I would never bash someone for what THEY want for themselves. Just answering her request for honest opinions.

    I appreciate your honest opinion!! I just want to know how people feel about this.

    Not like I'm trying to change myself. I still know what I want for myself and will still achieve that. I am just curious as to if there are more people out there who feel the way my friend does than I think there are.

    I personally want a nice defined look, but not body builder type. However if I looked like either of those pictures I don't think I would be unhappy.

    back muscles.
    They don't look like that all the time. Unflexed I look like any normal gorgeous woman. But now my *kitten* is better too.

    If I had to pick I would say somewhere in between the two, but since that wasn't what you asked me, I would have to say skinny girl over the muscular one. I just don't want a girl that's so in shape that she makes me look like peewee. I could never have a girlfriend with bigger muscles than me, that just kinda grosses me out. But I LOVE tone on a women just not SIZE. I love to see six packs on chicks, just not bulging ones.
    Tone = YUM, YUM

    This I could not handle:

    This I most definitely could: :love: :love:

    this is gonna sound bad but asking a guys opinion on what they prefer to look at seems a bit off to me. I certainly don't work my butt of to be oogled over. I would prefer a guy to like me for my personality not my body. I'm a smart, funny, witty, and fit person. I do my stuff for me and me alone. I know how I want to look and I don't give a crap what anyone else likes. I work for how I want to look and that's it!

    Second, every guy has their own idea just like we women have different ideas of what our men should look like!

    On a side note...I'm married and have been or nearly 14 years so maybe I have a different idea but still, I don't do this for him...I do it for me...he just gets the benefits of seeing me naked now that I look a WHOLE lot better than I did last year!

    I'll take what's behind door #1. I like my girls feminine and not looking like they're on roids.

    That girl is absolutely gorgeous, geeze! But I prefer the soft and smooth look in the 2nd pic more, she looks more natural there.

    I am not a guy but I am aiming for the toned look, I love how my back looks, I love lifting something and seeing my muscle definition.

    She just wants opinions. I don't care how nice of a person you are EVERYONE judges people to some degree on appearances. If they didn't they wouldn't discriminate between sexes based of their genitalia. Which means your husband could have been a women and it wouldn't even matter the slightest bit, because you married him for his personality....right?

    I used to hate the look of a toned woman, I have changed opinion since I started toning up myself and I respect the work involved in getting that look...but I would take Miranda Kerr for a ride lol
