You're right, I was wrong to state that men have it easier. Men and woman are biologically very different and it takes different methods of training for men, women. As well as body building, figure, and bikini but all of the training is challenging. I stand corrected.

Your first comment answered the whole question. SOme folks like muscular people, some like skinny, some like a little heavier....its all about personal preference. Date the woman/man you are attracted to and dont worry bout the rest.

Well, I'd say 99.99% of young teen girls (like young teen boys) really can't build visible muscle. Your hormones don't make it at all easy at that age, and your body is using so many calories for growth and development that it would be very, very difficult to build at that age.

Female teen novices can build muscle, albeit at a slower rate than their male counterparts. The problem is finding a teen girl who will actually put the food and dedication into it, rather than trying to lose weight (even those girls with little weight to lose). Even if she DID want to gain muscle and strength, you then run into the issue of outside influences (poor to no coaching, peers mocking her, dealing with homework or ******** instead of lifting).

Testosterone begins to rise at puberty and maxes around age 20, if you're earlier in that process, it's just going to be more difficult to make muscle gains (and, you're growing so much everywhere else too). There are some exceptions, like yourself I'd imagine, but the average 15 year old girl isn't likely to have had much luck gaining visible muscle.

Totally true. It's not impossible by any means, it's just harder for a teen than it is for an adult, with stable hormone levels who is done growing. If a girl has the appetite to get obese (health problems not withstanding) she could eat enough to build muscle if she lifted heavy.

not sure how this thread got off topic like this but lolol Women/Girls physically peak much earlier than Men/Boys but for a much shorter period of time. This window of opportunity has widened over the years with better information in female training and such, though I do believe it is much more difficult for a female to remain at her physical peak. Where it is common for a male pro athlete to compete at a high level well into his mid 30's, it is uncommon on the women side. Outlying factors (such as pregnancy, raising family) excluded, it is very rare. This though excludes BB IMO where muscle maturity/mass in a men and women does take time to build, where you'll see (actually both men and women) the winner of the Mr or Ms Olympia usually being around in their mid 30's

Ion has made it clear that he likes dumb ("ditzy" I believe he called it) silly, girly-girls that look pretty. Good for him. Just goes to prove there's someone for everyone.
To the original post: If a dude doesn't like (your) muscles? **** him! My appearance and "style" is 180 degrees of what is conventionally considered appealing or sexy. There are still men who find something about me interesting enough to want to get to know me. You will find someone who adores everything about the way you look.Sheriff John Brown always hated me
