Thanks for the comments above. I personally like bikini the best due to it being the "least" amount of muscle in comparison to other bodybuilding divisions for women. In bikini they still look fit, lean, but have some feminine curves and "softness" in comparison to figure and physique.

Like I said before, female bodybuilding is going the way of the dinosaurs due to it being replaced by the physique and figure divisions which are still very muscular, but not as huge as classic female bodybuilding. Bikini is on the rise as the fastest division for obvious reasons like looking sexy but 'toned' and having some femininity and curves.

Agreed. Like many/most guys, I like T & A on a woman. The bodybuilder women I think are the hottest are the ones that are muscular, but still have nice "curves", for lack of a better word. Conversely, the ones I don't find attractive are the ones who have so many chest muscles that you can't tell where their "chesticles" are....

Also, obviously women who have taken so many drugs that they have masculine facial features (like some of these female bodybuilders) are also not attractive.

It's a fine line...

You can make one if you want. I made this thread due to the misconsumption that female bodybuilding, bikini in specific, (and to a greater extent, that women lifting weights will gain 'too much' muscle) are all manly and masculine. Although this isn't everyone's cup of tea regarding women's physiques, these women prove they are not "manly" looking.

A lot of women use the "I don't want to get too muscular" excuse for not working out. Only 1 in 10 has a proclivity towards significant muscularity.

Well it depends on ones idea of significant muscularity. I think only 1 in 10, or so, has the genetics to grow large muscles via lifting.

I think you have to realize, for some people, these are all too muscular:

And when you guys think a woman is describing too muscular, you are talking about this:

http://naturalbodybuildingtips.info/...uilding-31.jpg

So lots and lots of women will get too muscular, when the definition is "visible musculature."

Those women (in the top group of photos) look nice. Nothing wrong with having "visible muscle". Thats what all of those women talk about wanting anyways, to look "toned" and to "have abs", etc. And those women want to do is try to achieve the "toned" look by doing only low resistance cardio based exercises and completely skip any resistance or weight training.
