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.
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

I'm not attracted to muscley women. If I can see a six-pack, she is too masculine to be attractive for me.
Depends- generally not, but a bodybuilder probably would be. There is such a thing as being too muscular.
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 thingIt 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.
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.It's not true, I actually prefer strong girls, they can be very attractive.

historylocker.com/.../a9CBHTM.jpgSome 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.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. 😂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.Buff girls are unattractive, no problem with strong.

Das nasty.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.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.
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 prejudgeNo, 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.
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.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.
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.
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
"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.
Yes. But it depends as long as you don't look like a guy in a dress like Serena Williams
