Do you think strong girls are unattractive?

Question

I m learning fight sport I ve read in a lot of storys that guys are freaked out by a strong girl. Is that true?

BlueWalker · Accepted Answer

Regardless of what a woman's physical goals are, I think some (many?) guys who are freaked out by strong and/or muscular girls feel insecure, intimidated, "threatened" and/or "emasculated" by such women. Physical attraction is one thing, but I also think for some guys who think negatively of them, there is more to it than just that.

Me personally, I find strong women very attractive, but no more or less than any other body type. I actually have a VERY wide range of body types I find attractive and believe beauty truly comes in so many different forms. Besides, ultimately, TRUE beauty is within. 😉 I wholeheartedly believe that.

But yes, strong women are definitely attractive and I certainly don't feel insecure around them, or feel "threatened" or "emasculated" by them at all. They are beautiful to me. Hold your head up high and don't listen to the naysayers. Do what feels right for YOU and you will be better of for it. 🙂 Life is to short to live up to someone else's ideals.

If you mean girls who look very muscular, then no, I don't really find it that attractive PERSONALLY - being a bit toned out can look great, but that's about as much muscle as I'd prefer, the same way some women don't find it that attractive when a guy is overly muscular or shredded.

There are some girls with a lot of muscle definition that can still look attractive to me, though I still think it'd be too much for my ideal preference, though relationship wise, I would like to be with someone who takes care of their body, whether they workout or not.

I work out. I lift weights. I'm not super buff or anything and obviously that takes ten years of dedication to get like that. But I like feeling strong enough to do things on my own. It feels good to have strength so you are completely fine. Do what you want to do. Live your life and don't stop it for a guy. You want to be with the right guy who'll appreciate you and like you for who you are. Not who they want you to be.

nofunkgiven · Accepted Answer

I think it doesn't matter to them though many guys would be turned off your figure ends up very masculine.. It's more about appearance than what you do

MrOracle · Answer

I'm not attracted to muscley women. If I can see a six-pack, she is too masculine to be attractive for me.

Logorithim · Answer

Depends- generally not, but a bodybuilder probably would be. There is such a thing as being too muscular.

Devourtheuniverse · Answer

If she was strong and knew how to fight that would be awesome. Like if it was easy for her to carry me, I would think it was hilarious to ride her back.. Because I'm a large guy anyway haha.

But the reality is that it's not like movies or anime. Usually to get strong they have to get muscular. I definitely think muscle can make a girl look less feminine and more masculine.. So it's a turn off at a certain point.

Honestly I'm into petite girls.. But if she was petite with super strength, I'd love it. I'd be really impressed and I wouldn't feel intimidated at all unless she liked hurting people to prove strength and was much stronger than me. I'm also not a submissive so as long as it didn't change how we interacted that much and she still looked as physically attractive, it's a good thing! For example, her learning to fight without gaining a bunch of muscle would be a good thing

FenderMustango · Answer

It depends I like women who play a range of sports especialy extreme sports like skiing, skateboarding etc. What I do not like is this culture that everyone needs to be toned up gym freak like in the workout dvds. I mean fair enough go to the gym. However that shouldn't be what you tell women is the ideal bosy shape because it puts preassure on them and makes them feel insecure. I like women of all shapes and sizes and personality, interests and a cute fave come over weather or not you have muscles.

passinby · Answer

If she can help me with some manual labor around the place and can work hard without bitching, then NO. But if she is some gym pumped bs only, I just don't care if she can't work hard outside.

If she can work hard manual labor--attractive; If she can't then worthless unattractive.

Anonymous · Answer

It's not true, I actually prefer strong girls, they can be very attractive.

User-Jacob · Answer

Some guys are, for sure, but most of us don't mind, and a number of us find it to be a turn-on.
Personally, I think it's incredibly sexy. Don't get me wrong, soft and round women have a different sort of appeal to which I am absolutely attracted, but something animalistic switches on in me when confronted with a muscular woman. Gracyanna Barbosa, for instance, or Bakhar Nabieva. Jhennyfer Mattos, Clarice Andrade, Kathryn Freeman...
Lots of unbelievably beautiful women with muscle.

CubsterShura · Answer

Forget of it is attractive or not.

Answer me this. Is it important? Is it beneficial? Is it practical?

Being strong will help you so much in life. I know I can carry heavy things easily and it literally helps me so certain things faster on my own. I can't always depends on others, plus it feels great when I sometimes carry heavy things for my parents. They do so much for us but I can do them this little help right? It also helps me to impress my classmates. 😂

MikeAndMolly · Answer

Strong girls are hot. My girlfriend is pretty strong, and I love it. We work out together several times a week, go hiking and backpacking, etc. Her pack weighs about as much as mine (around 30 pounds), and we hike up mountains and such.

The idea that a woman shouldn't be strong is ridiculous. Everyone should find some way to feel strong in their lives, and everyone should strive to be physically fit, too.

Outofthegrey · Answer

Buff girls are unattractive, no problem with strong.  Das nasty.

MrKinktastic · Answer

Not really, when I train hard I'm really strong too so I recognize their hard work. If they are stronger than me thats super impressive as I haven't come across that yet in a female including the few UFC women fighters I've rolled with over the years, they were far more skilled than me and got me 4-5x more than I could catch them but they certainly were not any stronger.

So no it doesn't intimidate me, I'd think it was interesting.

kiraith · Answer

it depends how mean, strong as in lot muscle yeah can be it so not natural but im Cancerian & we like feminine girls, it always depends on the guy/girl, a lot guys do really like muscle girls & lot don't, but I think for the main % it be feminine,
strong as stand ground & for ones love & to be good self in this chaotic world most def is attractive.
strong but not stuck up or prejudge

Princerahul123 · Answer

No, to me it does not matter, For me strong girls are attractive. If she is learning fight sport then its awesome together we can defeat an army and make a great deal out of it. I suggest you to continue your learning and only those creatures freaked out who tends to harm you.

ChurchOfIron · Answer

I love strong women, so long as they look feminine, still. Some abs are okay, but not too defined.

But, I work in fitness, and am a dedicated bodybuilder: albeit at an intermediate level. I would love to date a fitness chick. They are my ideal. Because even if they are strong; I'm way stronger. Unless they are massive, in which case I don't have interest, anyway.

Point being: fit chicks are fucking hot and awesome with healthy lifestyles and the same kind of interests as me. They rock.

Reichsvernunft · Answer

Yeah, it does matter! A human being is a human being, even if female. Someone who takes care of themselves, acquires new skills and abilities, wants to be able to fend for themselves - that's awesome. I want a partner who is a fully fledged human being not a dependency, and as such hope You'll literally kick ass in Your training and outside. A man who's afraid of You being an equal or even better at some things is not worth Your time.

ImSoSquishy · Answer

no, i think it's amazing, and inspiring! also it's not uncommon to see girls at fitness/powerlifting expos who looks like average skinny girls that can't even lift more than 20 lbs and the moment they get on the platform they be deadlifting 2x their own body weight or more than 275 lbs for reps.

4pple · Answer

depends what you mean by strong. If you just mean able to fight or have cqc then no, but if you mean being muscular then it comes down to personal preference, I don't think muscles look good so I'd consider it unattractive but others might be the opposite and consider it attractive

LordSnuggles · Answer

"Freaked out by strong girl" is bit loaded. You end up looking very masculine which many guys fine unattractive. Secondly, strong can be a facet of character. Many physically strong people have weak characters. So you may be strong physically but doesn't make you a strong person. And guys happen to like a well balanced girl who is secure in who she is and what she wants. None of that has to do with how much you can lift or how card you can hit.

WhitePanther88 · Answer

Yes. But it depends as long as you don't look like a guy in a dress like Serena Williams

slatyb · Answer

Sure, some guys are intimidated by women that are strong or smart or accomplished or in high-powered positions. No problem, you don't want to date those guys. You want to date the guy who is happy you are strong and will want to join you in the things you love to do. I know a couple that hiked the Pacific Crest Trail over the summer. She runs marathons. He climbs mountains. He's not intimidated.

Robert_Toast · Answer

I think it is largely contextual. I think it is important for women to stay athletic and healthy, though I think it is also pertinent to ask: to what extent is it appropriate?

I don't find women interested in body building attractive, though it doesn't bother me much if they're athletic (it's actually healthy getting blood circulating).

Leo9291 · Answer

I prefer girls who do other kind of sports.
I am a protective guy and I feel attracted to girls who seem delicate and pretty.
I am not saying that a girl who practice karate can't be pretty. But I don't feel attracted to them

I don't freak out, for me is like turn off

InTimoreDei · Answer

This question has been asked about 10 times already within the past few months...

The picture showcasing this question is why I'm not into "fitness girls". They constantly feel the need to show off their bodies online. Not into that. Cool... you work out... don't need to show off to the whole bloody world. I've been in MMA for 5 years... I don't have any pictures of me flexing my muscles.

idk777 · Answer

I know that some guys can be insecure about it since they don't like the idea that a girl would be better at fighting than them. But as long as you have a good attitude about it and don't let it get to your head, most guys won't have a problem with you.

Mazerock · Answer

I think really muscly girls are unattractive, however that is my personal opinion on what I find sexually attractive. That being said it's all about who you are as a person just because it's not something I normally found attractive I would still be able to fall in love with someone like that. However some guys love buff chicks just like some guys love fat chicks, or super skinny chicks. Plus side to being buff is if someone is a dick to you then you can kick their ass lol

John_Doesnt · Answer

It's kind of gross to have so many muscles. She looks like a man.

Anonymous · Answer

No cause in most cases she’s not strong enough to hurt me physically. I might get hit, maybe a cut here and there but is it really going to hurt? Probably not. Besides I’ve been taking Muay Thai for the last 5 years so I’m sure I can take her lol as a matter of fact to me it’s hot, got a few women in class I wouldn’t mind “fighting” w!

GreatnessBack · Answer

Only weak men are scared of a female fighter.  Besides, they look good, like Claudia Gadelha

alphamale07 · Answer

Well according to your question No i don't freak out it's fine if girls too want to stay fit and girls look much attractive that way.. meaning just fit lean... But if you're talking about building muscles then fine with that too but it isn't attractive at all

ElvenMr · Answer

It's hot to a point/level, sporty is good, very muscular not so hot. Like this is very hot, but any more muscles on the arms and abs, thights and she rapidly becomes less and less hot.

JustCallMeLeon · Answer

No its cool. There is definitely a minority that feel a bit weak but its just a minority, who cares. A girl that is both mentally and physically strong is a win win. I mean there is no con here. They can carry their own bags. They can stand their ground. They can do stuff during sex. They dont whine all the time about being tired or sick or in pain. And their booty is toooootally out of this world. I mean we can slap this thing 24/7 and it never gets old.

Trolloween · Answer

I don't like muscly girls it's too masculine, but I don't care if they are just strong and fit. It would probably motivate me to get stronger myself though I think it would be weird if my girlfriend was stronger than me tbh it would be emasculating

emmily2396 · Answer

It depends on how strong. As long as they don't start to look like a man I think it's great, better than those who don't exercise. I workout too and I look better than before

Arcadian222 · Answer

Strong girls are a turn on for me. Its so much fun and you can a lot of stuff with eachother.

People who fins that unattractive: ignire them.

But YES, having a steroid level built is a turn off. Strong and lean is good. Even visible muscles are good too. At the end of the day, its all about what excitement all of it brings to the physical and emotional aspects of relationship

DJZest · Answer

... strong compared to what?

You may compare women to woman, and men to men, but not women and men with each other.

The genders outclass each other in varying aspects completely. E. g.: The strongest man of the world is several times stronger than the strongest woman of the world.

XCORE911 · Answer

Physically Strong girls are kinda intimidating but if she is sweet then its fine. Girl in the picture is ripped doesn't necessarily mean she is strong but she is hot.

Slim body + long hair + Mentally strong + sweet behavior is my favorite combination

Guguismyname · Answer

Atrong means healthy , maintaining good physique and endurance. Strong necessarily doesn't mean a body builder woman.
Overexcwssive Bodybuilding like a professional bodybuilder is not healthy. It reduces age. Maintaining good health by gym workout yoga and sports is different and if this is a definition of being strong then its a good thing.

Being over muscular is a big no for me to chose a woman.

justaavrageguy · Answer

I think it depends on the guy, i myself don't really care if she is strong or not but I do prefer girls that are shorter then me but that is more of a preference then a rule, and i think guys who are freak ed out by strong women have some issues he needs to deal with

Ibeji · Answer

Personally, I think anyone with massive, boulder-like muscles and bulging veins are a bit too much for me. But just being strong and being able to fight is really cool, regardless of your gender.

abundantlyrich · Answer

Unattractive to guys who want a little thin diminutive girl. But not unattractive to guys in general who admire strength and physical power in a woman but still look feminine in build apart from theprotruding muscles.

nojokecarmichael · Answer

If you're not talking about muscle wise then yes. Me and my friends used to fight guys in the hall in between classes and afterwards one of the guys said " I like play fighting with you, you actually fight back"

Stockton · Answer

Strong women are so hot. I mean every type of strong, physically strong, mentally strong, morally strong. I am so attracted to the woman who is the Valkyrie, the Amazon, the Woman Warrior. They are so hot.

unkqty · Answer

considering strength comes in many different forms... i don't care how physically strong a woman is (although an amount of strength is good), but have little patience for weaklings in other senses..

close2heaven · Answer

You must be talking physical only. I personally dislike anyone beyond toned. Definition is ok unless it's exaggerated like your pic.

Cammy137 · Answer

I think they look great and being strong, particularly in a sport just shows commitment and determination which are both great traits for a partner to have

SelfishGuy · Answer

No I don't like muscular girls... I am sorry they are turn a off... physically strong girls don't really bother me... but buldging muscle... disgusts me. No offense meant... please.

Branwenn · Answer

Men who say that stuff are just insecure. Do what you love, you'll never be truly happy living your life based on what others think you should/shouldn't do.  Strong is beautiful!!! :)

jerry1996 · Answer

no even its most attractive than others the lady used to known as soft hearted and soft by physic so the guy can easily play with her emotions , use her physically and abuse her but if you are strong that kind of guys always keep away them selves from you and you will fine the one whom you deserve... its really very special and attractive...

MelaninDoll · Answer

depends if it body building manly body kind of girls or girls with the body of like a tennis player or a volleyball player.

Jaximus-Lion · Answer

Strong girls are achievers, different mentality, hard will and they want to protect them selves from idiots. I respect these females.

wskysourkraut · Answer

I taught my girl how to life weights so she could become a strong girl. Each year she gets hotter unlike. most long term relationships where each year she gets fatter.

Anonymous · Answer

It depends on the extent. Does she still have feminine curves and look like a woman? Or does she give the impression of a man? There's a limit to how far you can train your body before you turn masculine.

jessture · Answer

If they are then they are just insecure. I find women attractive if they have a hobby or interest in life they are passionate about and work hard to achieve

bloodmountain1990 · Answer

It's case by case, but as long as they don't look manly and have a six pack then I don''t see anything wrong with it.

It isn't black and white though. It's not like they're either strong or obese. There is middle ground.

GingerGuy · Answer

Physically? Up to a point it's fine. I don't like too much muscle definition though, it's a turn off. Don't know why, less feminine I guess?

Anonymous · Answer

I wouldn't say unattractive, at least not for everybody, but its definitely not attractive. Fight sports, building muscle etc. are all masculine things, and men are naturally repulsed by a girl showing masculine traits. The best reaction you can get from a normal guy is that he doesn't mind

puhoebe · Answer

id hope not >.< i have quite a bit of muscle and i dont plan to stop building more anytime soon lol

MCheetah · Answer

Depends on how feminine they can still be. Strong and feminine is good. Being butch and macho, is not.

Blackbrowny · Answer

I am super muscular myself, i rate this look far more attractive than beeing super slim etc. Everybody has its own Ideal. :D

Browneye57 · Answer

Not really, no. They are FAR more interested in your level of attraction and desire for THEM. What you DO is way secondary - far more important to YOU.
