Eurgh... muscles on women looks gross. I mean, I'd like to be more toned, but there's no way I'd want to have noticeable muscles on myself.
There has to be a limit on muscles on a woman, otherwise they start looking like a man. And personally, I wouldn't want to look like a man. And it's no good these muscular women sticking fake boobs on themselves - they ain't fooling anyone!
I take it you didnt even bother to look at the links posted in this thread did you? Had you done that, you would have seen FIT STRONG and INCREDIBLY SEXY women who are NOT musclebound and who do not look like men.
And who said anything about boobs? This is just you making things up in your mind that have nothing to do with what this thread is about.
To start, I am a male. I don't care for it. In my mind I tried to get used to it thinking its no different than a guy lifting weights and getting muscle bound. But I just can't get used to it. It gives me a feeling that a woman is trying to be like man. I grew up being used to women being feminine and that's what I like in women. But to each his/her own as they say. Just wondering what other people think of muscle bound women.

Did you notice how many people argued what you meant by "muscle bound", when it has a clear definition?
Given there are so few muscle-bound women (and I've never seen one in-person), I've never needed to be concerned with "getting used to it". I am used to the idea that some women engage in competitive body-building for a while. I'm used to it in the sense that some people will engage in things that I consider a "freak show" (both as participant and spectator) but I don't give it much attention or consideration.
You don't know how often women are dissuaded from lifting weights at the gym in fear of "looking like a man". I suppose the conventional thinking of women's workouts is mostly cardio with a little bit of 10 lb dumbbells thrown in. No thanks. I like picking heavy things up. I devote half my workout time to lifting weights. If having defined muscles and broad shoulders make me look like a man, then I'll take it. We train our bodies for our pleasure, not the ogling eyes of the opposite gender. I'm not into the powerlifting lifestyle because that's just not my thing, but I don't find anything wrong with women who are into that. I'm also definitely supportive of women actively lifting progressively heavier weight, especially as they age. I'm 41, and I want to keep and increase my muscle mass. If it's more than a guy's, then that's on them.
OP didn't ask why you did it. That's not the point. Obviously women do it for some reason or another. He is just asking if other people find it attractive. Seems like you are the one with the insecurity. Many people find it gross. If you can't take that, it's on you.
