Emilia Clarke is shamed for them for example despite being so beautiful, she seriously looks amazing, her body too. For me she's pretty much a perfect body&beauty example. I saw a lot of hate, nasty comments and skinny girls making fun of her, especially her sligthly flabby arms. (and yet she was voted as one of the sexiest women alive)
♦ That made me wonder if guys agree with this and also consider it very unattractive, a dealbreaker even? She has really short limbs, I don't have them as short but have similar arms to hers.
♦ Would you prefer toned arms? an example
They do not bother me, they're fine
They're unattractive

I can't find the right pictures but Hillary Duff also has them.
That slight fatness in the upper part of the arms is common. I've notice in my daily life a lot of woman in average weights have it.
Besides, I remember a spaniard actress who reported in social media the exaggerated and unnecessary photoshop a magazine did. They changed too much her body. This includes her arms. They changed her arms to a pretty unrealistic shape. Here the photoshop:
In addition I find Emilia Clarke so beautiful in general. She's not too skinny, not too fat. However, that's just a personal point of view. I understand some people might prefer other body shapes, face types and so.
I think she's gorgeous and she actually has a extremely similar body to mine and I have similar insecurities of what your talking about and seeing women like her being represented and in powered in the media positivity makes me happy and more comfortable because in the past I've always just seen skinny skin figured women on my TV and wasn't sure were I fitted in and just believed I was fat because I was a tall, skinny model type.
if a woman has a great personality I couldn't care less if she has flabby or skinny arms, scars or freckles or anything else which they would view as a flaw... each thing makes us all unique and every thing tells a story of who we are... so as long as the personality is great why should small things matter
I don't think her arms are flabby at all! I do prefer toned arms but hers are totally fine. I don't think I was ever bothered by her arms. Her personality overshadows any physical "flaws" if she even has any. She's so full of life, it makes you want to be friends with her. 😄
Obviously we prefer toned arms, if like there was somehow magically two copies of the exact same girl, and one of them has perfectly toned arms and on the other, she has slightly flabby arms, obviously we're going to pick the copy of her with toned arms. Duh. But since that scenario doesn't exist since magic doesn't exist, usually we are willing to overlook some slight flab on the arms. I stress the word "slight."
Also the problem here @Jemini_Crocket is that you chose a girl (Emilia Clarke) who doesn't actually have flabby arms... I mean I guess they are like BARELY flabby. If you had picked a better example of a less attractive girl, then I bet the responses you're getting from guys would be different than the comments you're getting here.
I chose Emilia because as I said above, she's a perfect beauty example for me. She shares the same height and I also mentined that my arms are like hers. That's why. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CqpR97XW8AAxEN6.jpg hers are slightly flabby and that's what I am talking about = "slightly"
Yeah I guess; no it's not ideal. The guys saying they don't care are saying that because you provided an example of Emilia Clarke, like I said, who is pretty much universally considered attractive. If for example you just made a different post and said "which of these two girls is more attractive?" and both of them were average-ish girls but decent looking and in the pics, one of them had obvious arm flab and the other one didn't, and had toned arms, I bet you'd find far different results from what you're getting here. Just saying.
For me it is ideal. I don't like the slim bony look. If I would have wanted to use a different girl, I would have done it. She's a good example of slight flab on her arms and that's all I wanted to show as an example. I couldn't find better pictures anyway. I could have used Hillary Duff, she also has them, but then it would be someone else saying that if it wouldn't be her, people would mind the flab.
I can see why someone would call them "flabby", but I find them sorta cute in a way. Although, I might be biased, because this is Emilia Clarke we're talking about.
Reading questions like these are red flags. Do women believe that men care about such small things? Instead of focusing on small imperfections like these maybe work on something that could actually need work. I don’t mean to offend anyone but this is the reason why I delete the app and only come back to it when I need to ask a question of my own. Thanks for reading all this 😴.
Like I don't shave my armpit hair and my boyfriend doesn't give a fuck at all but the dude I talked to before him literally told me to shave or he wouldn't talk to me. Not flab but it's very similar
Precisely how Ms. Turtletesticles (😂) said. Guys are different, many guys here voted and said that they don't care but I know enough of guys who consider every little fat part on a woman as a problem unless it's the boobs or butt.
Physical attractiveness is subjective. Different people have different taste. I didn't know who Emilia Clarke was as I don't care for celebrity life. While she wasn't ugly, I can't say I found her super attractive either. A little flab on the arm isn't a deal breaker, but they are certainly more attractive without it in my eyes.
Dang that's fucked up. She is a beauty, definitely. She isn't even over weight or fat, and overweight isn't a bad thing anyway. Flabby arms? Stupidest thing I've ever heard of being a dealbreaker, well it's up there. Skinny, flabby, whatever there's really no normal other than what she is. But I get how some people get so bothered by things that other people have to drag on about so much
seriously its just super overthinking for her, i dont think looks are much to worry about (especially those parts which you can't alter, so why even try?)
just happy with what you have, because once you start tinkering then it would lead to something disastarous...
Because she plays in game of thrones she is famous, this doesn't mean she is one of the most sexist women alive, it means she is enough famous to be noticed, those nominations are kind of subjective But I agree, she is a beauty and she is so sweet on interviews and she is charming, I love the way she is Her arms are just arms, okey arms, notary big deal
I don't mind slightly soft, "flabby" arms if that's what you wanna call them, I never knew this was a problem? I thought that's how women were supposed to be? lol I don't know what is going on with this whole trend of "girls need to have everything toned and be muscular" but it's gross. I like it when women are soft, supple and kind of "flabby" or "chunky" as they call it for lack of a better word. That's how women are supposed to be, they're not supposed to be muscular
"I thought that's how women were supposed to be?" What on Earth does that mean? They're "supposed to be" flabby or fat? Um... 1) no and 2) fuck that. What an excuse! "Derp it's not MY fault I'm out of shape; I'm female so it's okay." Wow.
Really don't care either way. I mean everyone has some kind of imperfection about them that they can't help. I honestly don't see guys caring too much about slightly flabby arms really.
met guys who say they care or met guys who actually care? guys say all sorts of things. "i wouldn't date a girl with thin lips" and then an hour later he's chattin up a babe with thin lips. guys think they care until they fall in love and it doesn't take much.
You can't expect everyone having firm toned body without working out or doing exercises. It's normal and there shouldn't be anything wrong about it , it doesn't bother me at all
Her arms look normal, and she has a beautiful body. The people that insult her for her arms are probably just looking for some kind of reason to do so, because they're jealous or something. I'm sure you don't have anything to worry about either.
I prefer more toned arms on myself than hers, but I don't think it's a dealbreaker for guys. Many girls with her arms have no trouble getting boyfriends.
That area is like the little bit of fat beneath chin almost impossible to deal with and nearly everyone has them - It would be a bit churlish to be judgmental about it
I think if it is like on these pictures, that it is cute and feminine. I myself have very lean sculpted arms, sometimes I think they look like a 12 year old boy’s arms lol.
To me slightly flabby arms I definitely not a deal-breaker I actually like that I'm not into bony girls I like a woman to have a little bit of meat on her that's just my opinion I don't know how everybody else feels
You aren't making sense. You didn't make a comment with "Womens arms are supposed to look not super thin. They are supposed to look feminine like that, not stick arms" that pertained to Emilia Clarke. As you can see, your use of "women" there and not saying "Emilia Clarke" meant you were making a general statement, whether you meant to or not. What are you talking about.
Estrogen distributes the body fat in such a particular way that women have hippodermal fat, which means the fat right underneath the skin surface that humans perceive as feminine.
It makes sense that its perceived as feminine due to evolutionary psychology because of the estrogen being the primary female sex hormone. Estrogen is a chemical and like all chemicals it has properties to it, estrogen has the chemical property of distributing the fat mass in women in such a particular way that it is perceived by us humans as feminine.
What does that even mean? That being fit and good nutrition/diet which leads to toned arms is a bad thing? For the this time, what are you talking about?
Emilia clarke is a compliment fisher, and doing it when you look like that only falsely gives less attractive gals more to think about for no reason. How selfish...
@lusminli My big weakness is blue eyes, light hair, so that girl looks the best to me. Second girl looks nice too. The girl with the earbuds is really not my type.
Are they flabby or is this an unfortunate shot with her arms pressed against her sides, I don't know. To me, the fact that she's beautiful, funny and talented, I honestly didn't notice a particular little knit-picky "fault." That's why i need examples of other women. To me an accomplished, successful woman who's also confident is 100% a catch. I have many more flaws than that.
I'm not trying to be mean but I honestly feel sorry for white guys.. they are stuck with these white girls who are fixated on superficiality and being stick thin. this is seriously a mental issue. get help
I mean really. my friend and her friends are super high maintenance and want a guy like the one from 50 shades of grey. you know the rich guy who whips the crap out of the girl instead of a hard working guy
I think because she's so small and skinny they look big. She bulked up training for terminator. She's 30 now so it's tgat much harder to keep weight off and the weight will spread to her hips, arms and ass if she doesn't keep it under control
