Are women who work out fake and superficial?

People aren't naturally overweight though. What about the women who don't work out at all, and are skinny anyway? Wouldn't they be the ones that are the more natural ones? The ones who don't diet at all.

For me, I do work out (although lately not as much as I should be) because I do want to stay thin. If that means I am superficial and fake, then so be it. In the summers, I spend most of my time hiking because I love it. I want to fix my stomach though. I had a giant ovarian cyst for three years (I thought I was just fat) I ended up looking about six months pregnant by the time I found out it was a cyst and not fat. Which explained a lot since I wasn't fat anywhere else except my stomach. Anyway, it was huge and it stretched my stomach out a lot because I had it for so long. They removed it in April (they drained 6.5 liters of fluid from me) and my stomach is kind of funny looking now. I want to do ab work outs to tighten it a bit. I don't care if it looks like the girls in the tumblr you showed, just as long as it isn't stretched like it is. It's like it's extra skin or something.

It's the reason why I work out so much, and I don't care if people see me as fake because of that. I just feel incredibly insecure and I don't even want to date. I feel like guys won't like it.

That isn't putting stress on your body. To become that strong and defined you have to be extremely careful and work hard but slowly and delicately. In fact most of those women are just in really good shape, nothing unusual about it. And that whole "real women have curves" thing is starting to get on my nerves. I love the support of different and bigger body types, it's amazing because of what the media puts out, and we need to actively combat that. However skinny women are also "real women" and so are really muscular women and so are every single woman. You don't need curves or extra weight or lots of muscles or just skin and bones to be a "real woman" you just need to be a woman.

And that's not the average woman in America, the average American woman is 5'3 and 166 pounds, much much smaller than those pictures. But regardless our "natural bodies" are probably closer to those first women. Before fast food and homes and all that we had to hunt and gather and live off very little while being constantly active. Our ancestors were much more fit that we are today. ANd if you eat healthy and work out you'll notice the more in-shape you get the better you feel, your body wants to be fit.

I think some women who work out may be fake and superficial, but I don't believe someone is fake BECAUSE they choose to work out. Working out is for a lot more than just looks. It keeps your body working properly, keeps you alive longer, makes it easier to live an active lifestyle, and is even for maintaining a happy mood.

The good looks are an awesome added benefit, and it makes sense too. Typically, the looks and characteristics we consider "attractive" are those of a healthy person. So it makes sense that someone with a very healthy body, would look more attractive than a person with an unhealthy body.

Those "average women" may be very real according to US standards, but most are NOT comfortable with themselves, and would love to morph their bodies. Not into something they aren't, but into their natural form. Nobody is naturally supposed to be obese. If that were true, there wouldn't be thousands of health conditions associated with obesity. I am a proponent of women being happy no matter their size as there is no benefit to depression and worrying, but to say that obesity is more natural is just simply untrue.
