Fit women do not look like men. Those muscle bound women in those pictures?

They look like freaks.

Sorry about the large img sizes, I'm on a mobile device.
These women look pretty good but why are they all really tall - like 5'8" and more and very skinny? There are other types of good bodies.

These? Meh...

I notice quite a few guys on message boards go out of their way to let others know their disdain for women who have (non steroidal) muscles.

Does anyone DIS-agree with the opinion that fit or athletic women look masculine or unattactive ?

Can insecurity or physical shortcomings play a role in a guys perception of a fit woman looking masculine ?
I don't think all "fit" women look masculine. Dancers like ballerinas and such are muscular but in no way do they look masculine.

The body builders and women who appear in those muscle magazines on the other hand look masculine to me. I think a woman can have muscles if they prefer but there is a limit.

My limit is a bit lower than some people's mostly because my taste in women has changed over the years.

Those pics of the ladies here look like freaks? I'm slightly speechless. Those girls pictured hardly have any muscle on them. They look fit and HEALTHY. I'll take that FREAK look any day of the week.

Bingo!

When women go for the Nicole Bass look then they need a huge boob job to make that look in proportion to everything else. Sadly these women look like train wrecks when they get older. The "non fit" cardio women posted above age quite nicely in comparison.

I would understand your comments better if an actual picture of Nicole Bass or any other pro-bodybuilder had been posted. To compare any of the balanced, athletic physiques in the first set of pictures to a female pro-bodybuilder in contest shape, is to lose any credibility for having discernment enough to participate in this debate. There are a number of hyper-muscular female bodybuilders that have refused to get boob jobs... Collette Guimond... (lawd), most notably, Annette Rivicceco (sp)... I'm showing my age... how many countless Victoria's Secret model types with no muscle at all have gone under the knife?? What ever are you talking about??

I don't think it's the look that might turn off some, it's the idea that the muscular-looking woman spends her free time working out. that's fine, if that's what she likes to do.


Does the feminine woman enjoy building up her muscles? I don't think so. over the years, I have found that the most likable women (by both males and females) are those that are a little laid back. They tend to take life easy. Working out and sweating isn't for them.

Yeah, I know, they don't age well, they get fat! horrors!!!
