    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

    Of the two you provided photos, I would be happy with either. Ideally, I would want someone who was in between those two girls. Had some definition but not necessarily as much as the toned girl.

    more like this?

    Yes. This girl is smoking hot!
