Your opinion on physically strong women?

22 Comments

First off this poll is open to men, women, straight, or gay. I want to know EVERYONE'S opinion. Don't be nice just be honest. Preference doesn't necessarily mean attraction.

I've always had a fit lower half (actually had quite a few compliments on my ass) but I'm uneven. My arms are slightly stronger than average, but it's not a big deal. But at first glance I have noodle arms. I started working out my upper body strength but it's difficult. My lower half is strong because I'm a dancer. I'm not really used to working out my arms.

I went to a friend for advice (her father is a body builder) and she said that dainty is prettier and I should love my arms. I want my arms to look like Serena Williams or Chris Namus. One thing I noticed is when these strong women are in magazines their arms tend to be shopped to look thin. Which is insane to me. Another thing I noticed is that while a strong girl can still be considered hot an Angelina Jolie type twig will always be hotter. And apparently muscular women tend to wear sleeves at work to hide their strength because they're treated different. They intimidate. There's also the mentality that a woman would only be strong for her profession (athlete.) I do think strong arms are beautiful but I also want to be strong to be strong. I carry my friends piggy back often because it makes me feel stronger. And push ups are something you can show off.

So I want to be strong. But these particular exercises are difficult. The media seems like it wants me to stay the same. And giving up on strength work seems like an option now.

Any opinions or workout tips are appreciated.

    If women are healthy and strong It is fine. If they are on steroids or something though and have unnatural looking muscles, it is not attractive. That is outright scary.

    Muscular women have clits the size of arms.

    I like muscular women stronger hugs and their arms don't get tired during hand jobs.

    I take it this is an old poll. I'm new to this site. I'm commenting anyway. I'm a female who does weightlifting and i think muscular women look good. However, i am attracted to men, and i prefer twiggy men! For some reason i just think petite and slight looking men are attractive, especially if they're on the short side. But this poll is about women so...

    Yeah, i think muscular looking women look good! The bigger the biceps the better!

    Chris Namus is really beautiful in my opinion. I say go for it! A lot of female bodybuilders are gross but technically boxers are supposed to be at their ideal weight for their height and build. She looks lean but strong and toned and there's nothing wrong with that. Also I like her natural light skin tone instead of that orange fake tan that bodybuilders have.

    I didn't read OP's post, but I will say Deuce Bigalow comes to mind when he was getting man-handled in bed by that 'huge bitch' and her giant hands. lol

      I like skinny with a bit of meat on them. I don't like flat, skin/bones girls...shapely but not 'thick' is just right imo.

    I like just about any kind of woman. Each has their own little thing about them that makes them a good woman.
    Even women who aren't brawny might be intellectual or creative. Those are good things too.

    Aesthetically speaking though, I do not like the way the Female body-builders look. I am not talking about the women who have a healthy amount of muscle, but those who have bulging hulking large shoulders, arms and abs that make their upper body look like a male bodybuilder. To be honest I don't think that type of muscle mass makes men look handsome either.
    I guess it can be said I like my women to maintain a level of femininity.

    Female body builders gross me out (go figure with the taking of male hormones), but female athletes with hard bodies are a big turn-on for me. Plus (IMHO), your friend got it wrong. A strong woman (even one who's big and brawny) can still put on a dainty appearance.

      Hey, replying to another one of your comments. I have an aspie ex who was really into the "strength" thing. He loved that I could out-wrestle him and pick him up; I don't mean to sound ignorant, but I must ask if you think the attraction relates to having AS at all?

        It's probably a coincidence. I simply appreciate a lot of different types of women, and LOL, right now the big flabby type interests me. :-D

        My hyperactive imagination has me thinking about almost any given type at any given moment, with the exception of the really scrawny fashion model types.

    I find women with lean yet muscular arms attractive.

    There are a lot of exercises out there to make women stronger without getting obvious muscles.

    I thought the picture was going to be one of those orange women with bodies that don't even look female any more, covered in veins and all glistening.

    But no, I'd certainly find that attractive. Although I have larger biceps than most people (genetic - lucky me!) so maybe I'm biased.

      The crazy body building type isn't attractive whether they're male or female.

      Is it genetics? Or are you holding out on workout tips?

        Purely genetic. My dad are brother are both muscular in the upper body too. Although I've noticed that I'm not really doing enough anaerobic exercise so I was planning on something which built on what I've already got.

        P.S. Was thinking about your post on the walk to work and realised that Linda Hamilton in Terminator 2 is a good example too.
