You will hear from women who want to build big natural muscles and the men who adore them, as much as it isn't the "social norm" there are many men that find big muscle beautiful and sexy!

I hope you don't think I'm looking for a date or boyfriend good lord NO

I was just asking.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write your comments. I found some of the general attitude ( about muscles on females))of guys around me (in my life)to be a little deflating and a downer but then I look at them and I understand that its intimidating to be around a goal oriented person.

I have a long way to go . I can only achieve today if I follow direction and stay focused.

If I didn't have the ability to ask these questions I don't think I would be able to stay inspired thank you for all your encouragement and comments.

Have a wonderful day!!!

PERFECTION!!!! I want this BOD!!!!!! Thanks for inspiring us "wannabeeeees"

You can obtain a nice muscular, lean look and still look feminine...it should never matter what anyone else thinks

Thanks blueshoe and bambifox for the sweet words...you girls are awesome!!

Here's some examples of my physique. I compete at 108 - 110 lbs all natural and don't consider myself too muscular...but I've never been one to care what anyone thinks LOL!!

bb physique





figure physique





off season

[*dwest*]

I don't like overly muscular women personally, but when I say that I mean bulky types.

Kimm you look great your physique is lean when you flex but shapely anf feminine when you don't. When I see your pics I can't help but admire all you've done.

[Tikibeast]

Muscular women are beautiful. Now the hormone altered and juiced women out there...some men love them but not my speed. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a muscular athletic woman though.

Yeah, man purse or nothing!

[rockeo]

I have probably asked 20 guys young and old about females with muscles they have all said they like round and soft. Toned only!!! WTF?


when I mention some of my aspirations many of my dude friends have said mostly the same thing horrified
"your not going to become a bodybuilder are you?".

This makes no sense to me I personally find muscles of females to be magnificent I absolutely love very muscular arms and shoulders.

Their opinions were all the same , that a woman should look feminine to them muscles are not feminine.

I think female muscle resembles are warrioresess appearance. An ability to push through body restrictions and accomplish very difficult physical goals.

I don't want to feel restricted because of what men think is feminine but i don't at all want to be looked at as an unattractive woman.

I hope that this post didn't offend anyone as I have such admiration for female body builders. I just wonder about stryopypes and judgements woman have to go through to even have been motivated to enter this sport.

ok- r these guys u asked bbuilders, seems to me that theyr not, because espeacialy guys who bb love women who and r built, i love women who r into the same things such as getting into shape and living the awesome lifestle of bodybuilding- so i would not worry about those few who dont think its attracive, beacause to me it just adds to ur beatifull shaped bodies any way.
ps, im a male so thats my perspective.

the body can acheive what the mind can conceive-

[chaoserver]

Toned girls are great, but having a bit of muscle mass is good, but the roided up chicks are just plain grotesque.

[repsDTGdaily]

toned girls. some build. i'm in heaven

[NOVA888]

You know, a lot of women don't like the look of roided-up men either. :P

************************************************** ******

KIM, gurl, you look sexy and amazing! An inspiration to us all!

[Cuchulainn]

So far all the girls in this thread are gorgeous. OP don't worry about what some guys will think if you hit the weights (real men won't be worried). I find that I am more attracted to a girl who has a lot of ambition and drive. Besides, you only have one life to reach for your goals.

Go for it.

[scrilla]

I dont dig them big bodybuilder girls. I like more the fitness model competitor type

[MidnightSun]

I love it when women got muscular and defined legs :-)

[Clatico]

guys see female bodybuilding competitions on TV and think that a girl who lifts will someday look remotely close to that. truth is, girls don't produce enough testosterone naturally to get very bulky.

[thediabolical]

What I love and adore...and can't get enough of.......

[bambifox]

Men, like strong women, maybe not extreme Iris Kyle muscular, but fit, firm, and strong
Men are confident in their masculinity and are not afraid of strong women


BOYS like soft and round, it's usually an insecurity thing.

Boys are afraid of strong women, because they feel they cannot "control them"


Sure, many top bb'ing women, in stage condition (which is what mainstream sees) lose their facial fat and begin to look skeletal in the face, or 'masculine'.
But have you ever seen Lenda Murray offseason, Beautiful woman.

Everyone has their own taste, but you'll find that most guys who go "oooh, that's gross" are thinking "onstage super low bodyfat" faces.
And many of them are simply afraid of what they do not understand.
Ask any guy who has stepped onstage though, and you'll get another answer.

Very well said!

[guest89]

Personally, I don't like a muscled woman. I'd say "Jessica Biel in Blade Trinity" is pretty close to perfection. I wouldn't want any more muscles though.



Most guys (if not all) that I know are the same. Obviously opinions will differ here because its a BODYBUILDING website though.



No worries, IRL the majority of females I know don't like overly muscled guys, some would even describe it as "gross".


Every one is different, some folks are attracted to average builds, some to skinny builds, some to fat builds, and some to muscular builds.


Regardless of what other people think you should do what makes you happy, and you'll find someone that likes you for who you are.

Honestly I have to agree, I've never understood the fear of or dislike shown towards strong women. Back in high school I dated a volleyball player for a short time, this woman was a beast (in a good way) 6'3 and she had upper body strength like nobody's business. To this day I still run into her around town and find myself drooling a little. Strong women, muscular women, etc can be beautiful. I mean look at "Benchpress Barbie", her pictures and posters were up all over the place for a while and men drooled over this mighty might of a woman.

Wut about a woman who can place you in a chokehold with her thighs?

[The Squatch]

I think comfort in one's own skin and self-confidence is sexy. If, for you, that means having more muscle than "the norm", then screw "the norm". Personally, I find fit/muscular women attractive. Regardless if it's figure, fitness, bb, or just a regular chickie... if they carry themselves with self-confidence and are happy with themselves, that's what's important.

If my head is between her thighs and she still has control over her muscles/movements then I've lost my touch.
