Men, what's your opinion on muscular women

Archwinger · 2017-05-24T12:56:31+00:00

I like fit women, a lot. When a woman is just skinny, but not actually fit, her body looks funny to me. Her butt and legs don't move right when she walks. Her shoulders and arms seem non-proportional and out of place.

Women who don't work out and don't have any defined musculature to speak of are just funny looking.

Now if by "muscular woman", we mean the very rare and small sliver of curiously strong, beefy, butch professional female muscle builders, that's not sexy at all. Not because I'm all insecure and intimidated by strong women. It's just not a pretty look. It's not feminine.

NameOfAction · 2017-05-24T10:49:28+00:00

Not interested

2017-05-24T13:12:52+00:00

Doesn't matter. Without drugs, it's almost impossible for a woman to lift enough to look manish

/u/deadsandsushi, want to explain whats up here?

2017-05-24T13:48:44+00:00

If we're talking about roided up professional female bodybuilders, that's not hot. That's fetish territory. They don't look feminine. They look like men. They're obviously juicing. They develop square jaws, masculine looking faces, facial hair, etc. This is not hot. She looks masculine. She's developed masculine facial features. That said, she's not nearly as big as some women I've seen, like this woman at competition weight and definition. Again - not feminine. Her most masculine feature is the broad shoulders and narrow waist. She is built like a muscular, fit man.

If we're talking about fitness models who compete in those fitness competitions where the women are cut and defined but not huge, that's hot. Because those women still look feminine. They look like women. This is hot. She looks like a woman, a fit, in shape, athletic and toned woman. But still a woman.

CoolLad · 2017-05-24T11:03:43+00:00

Don't personally find them attractive.

Women who have the muscular development of competitive athletes are hot, like female swimmers, gymnasts, volleyball players, Ninja Warrior competitors, etc. at the high levels of competition. Women who have the muscular development of bodybuilders are not, particularly if they're cutting fat to extreme lows to make muscle definition show up better.

returnofthemackX · 2017-05-24T11:01:55+00:00

A flat stomach is nice, but a sixpack is too much. Also broad shoulders are a turnoff. I am a sucker for a big booty though.

Utterberetacht · 2017-05-24T11:08:24+00:00

Not interested.

CoolLad · 2017-05-24T12:14:53+00:00

The only reason why a woman ought to work out if she wants to be attractive is to get tone. Ripped females will get less attention, but dudes will bang anything so..

Hey OP, you've posted a lot in the last few hours. This is a reminder that we do not allow super-frequent post submissions on this sub.

Effervesser · 2017-05-24T11:01:51+00:00

How muscular?

Tyler_Gatsby · 2017-05-24T11:07:05+00:00

Since you're going to ask me why, I'll say I don't usually like them b/c they look and feel too manly. An exception, or my cut off level of still attractive example is Ronda Rousey. I think she pulls it off, but most don't for me.

BiggerDthanYou · 2017-05-24T11:20:21+00:00

Thick thighs and a nice booty are where it's at for me. Squats instead of upper body workout.

If I want a muscular body I just sleep with a guy, but women need to be soft and bouncy to get me going.

BPremium · 2017-05-24T11:34:11+00:00

Pass on overly muscular. But thin gets me everytime

basebool · 2017-05-24T12:02:57+00:00

Op are you a said musclar woman?

fuxdpus · 2017-05-24T12:12:37+00:00

I'm not attracted to women that look like dudes. I like stereotypically feminine looking bodies.

dicklord_airplane · 2017-05-24T13:28:13+00:00

I actually find them very attractive. I think im an outlier.

andrewisgood · 2017-05-24T13:42:53+00:00

The thing with me and attraction to women is I find all different types of women attractive. Since I'm watching Smackdown on PVR, Becky Lynch is wrestling and she is pretty jacked, like, she has insane arms and boulder shoulders as she puts it.

exit_sandman · 2017-05-24T14:01:30+00:00

if you mean like this than hell yea

If you mean like some bber chick that is juiced to the gills with a mans voice and a giant clit than naw

Muscular backs are sexy as fuck, ribcage too

WhiskersNT · 2017-05-24T14:23:58+00:00

Depends what you're talking about, but I think someone like Michelle Lewin or Hope Howard is unbelievably attractive

Is this the type of woman you're talking about?

2017-05-24T15:02:38+00:00

I mean, I am very wierd and different from most men. That being said, I just did a quick image search for muscular women and I am struggling to find women who I don't find attractive because of their size. I don't like the orange tan on some women, and some are just not attractive facially, but I have yet to find a real life woman to muscular. Again I'm a special snowflake, but for what it's worth... there ya go.

To a point. In high school I dated a competative swimmer. She was 5'4" and 140 lbs but didn't look it. However, she had to wear men's dress shirts rather than women's blouses because if she crossed her arms she tore the back out of the latter; her lats were huge.

I tend to enjoy women who are "built for comfort, not for speed", but grinding with a hard-body has its own thrills.

exit_sandman · 2017-05-24T11:48:52+00:00

I assume we're not talking about women who are merely fit/toned but about those who are visibly muscular? I.e. women who do sports like bodybuilding/fitness, hammer throwing etc.

Definitely nope. In general, I prefer women who have excess fat in the right places anyway, think normal plus size models (i.e. not Tess Holliday).

Eastuss · 2017-05-24T12:08:46+00:00

I like curvy women. AKA tiny waist, wide hips, round ass, round thick thighs, round breasts. Torso must not be wide. Everything is about proportions.

Muscles aren't inherently making a woman unattractive to me. But if you're already flat (no hips, no boobs, no ass), and then you get your torso larger and your arms/chest more defined, you'll just take what was feminine in you and throw it away. An example is stomach, I don't really mind chubby bellies or flat stomach or abs, as soon as the general shape of the stomach is a pear (probably because of difference between hips width and waist width). If your stomach shape is straight, getting it more flat or more muscular will make it even more uglier and less feminine.

basically apple shaped women should avoid getting muscular IMO. Banana will hardly getting in muscles but should avoid it too.

Muscular women tend to have a large torso, too defined arm/shoulder muscles (which makes a look more edgy than curvy), saggy fake looking breasts (because too developed pecs?)...

Muscular thighs are sexy, but with some decent fat %

2017-05-24T13:02:24+00:00

Aspen rae is hot, but anymore is probably just steriod use and ugly

kaane · 2017-05-24T13:22:09+00:00

If we are talking about women like the ones from crossfit games, than I am not interested one bit.

If we are talking about a fit chick, than it depends.

I am a man, I am attracted to femininity. And the amount of muscles a woman have does not increase her attractiveness in that department

2017-05-24T13:29:53+00:00

Kind of gross.

2017-05-24T16:14:41+00:00

I think they're better than everyone else and I want all of them for myself.

Returnofthemack3 · 2017-05-24T16:23:43+00:00

Can be insanely hot tbh. But there is a line that shoudln't be crossed, but thankfully most muscular women avoid crossing it. I dunno man, there are some girls in my gym that get me all hot and bothered im not gonna lie. Seeing them put up decent weight is hot

despisedlove2 · 2017-05-24T16:42:10+00:00

Depends.

It can range from hot to disgusting.

Pope_Lucious · 2017-05-24T16:42:59+00:00

The "Muscular Woman" is mostly a myth. Muscular women tend to just be fit women, and they are sexy. Look at half of the women UFC fighters, amazing bodies. Most of the time I hear this term invoked it's from a woman who should take her health more seriously, but uses the excuse she doesn't want to get "Bulky" to justify her laziness.

2017-05-24T16:45:35+00:00

Depends how muscular and how it's proportioned.

Centurion53 · 2017-05-24T17:19:55+00:00

Some muscle is great, too much muscle not so much. I dont want a skinny fat chick with a gut OR dana linn bailey

OurThrownAwayDreams · 2017-05-24T17:59:43+00:00

some women can use a little bit of muscles on them, it depends on their frame but as someone who frequents the gym, I definitely don't mind muscles on women for as long as she still has feminine features.

eliechallita · 2017-05-24T18:34:51+00:00

Personally, I find fit women very attractive, but there's a spectrum.

I find women like Ronda Rousey or most female Crossfit competitors to be incredibly sexy body-wise, and I'll extend that to off-season, medium to light weight female fitness competitors and bodybuilders. Heavyweight bodybuilders are too roided up for my taste though: It's not the muscles themselves so much as the dehydration and other changes that accompany the roids that kill my attraction.

I'd prefer a woman who was strong by packing some extra weight to someone who was slimmer but had much lower muscle mass: After all, what you can do with a body matters as much, if not more, as how it looks naked. Not to mention that skinny fat or just plain skinny doesn't look all that good to me to begin with, especially since I get worried about hurting them by accident (illogical, but still a concern when I outweigh most of my partners by 80 pounds or so)

2017-05-24T19:32:43+00:00

Unless we're talking thick fit Chun-Li legs (Sweet Baby Jesus), muscularity on women is not something I find all that appealing. It also isn't a turn-off, at least not until we're talking serious muscles because then it is, but I think I almost always prefer a softer look.

wtknight · 2017-05-24T20:25:48+00:00

I don't mind muscular women, although the female bodybuilder type is a bit too much to me. Athletic, toned women look good, though. I've never dated an athletic woman, however, as I'm not really that type of woman's type of guy.

2017-05-24T21:21:48+00:00

I find them attractive so long as they aren't on heavy steroids* and aren't super lean. I don't find female bodybuilders attractive on stage, but that's when they're dehydrated and very lean.

*This is assuming she's getting the masculine side effects. If she's on roids and I can't tell, then I don't care.

IIHotelYorba · 2017-05-24T23:33:53+00:00

As long as they don't use steroids their proportions tend to still look pretty feminine. In fact I'd argue the best looking women were involved in some sport/dance during school, and many really nice asses were made in the gym by packing on ass and leg muscle tone.

zerobones · 2017-05-24T23:53:31+00:00

I think abs on a girl look super fucking hot.

DashneDK2 · 2017-05-25T00:28:59+00:00

Don't like. Obviously men have not evolved to find super muscular women attractive. Since it signals higher testosterone levels and probably infertility, and small amounts of fat - being unable to bear a child. I think I've read that most women bodybuilders are no longer able to menstruate.

andrew_rdt · 2017-05-25T01:23:50+00:00

Hot. Never seen a bad one in person at least, sure you can find some bad examples from a google search but you can find anything if you try hard enough.

Monkey_Jerk · 2017-05-25T01:25:23+00:00

Hot

Upper body looking too much like a guy. Not hot.

breakfasttopiates · 2017-05-25T01:34:11+00:00

Feminine grace is important when evaluating super fit women. If they lack feminine grace its worth fuck all

theiamsamurai · 2017-05-25T01:51:29+00:00

I'm fine with muscular women. Maybe I'd actually be able to wrestle with one without having to hold back. One of the chicks on reddit who supposedly wanted to fuck me claimed to be muscular, only sent me face shots though. We were gonna watch each other fap on webcam, but she pussied out and said it'd be awkward.
