Do girls think lifting weights makes them attractive?

[maverick2022]

I see lots of girls that weight train at the gym and I always think it makes them look more masculine and less attractive. Do girls actually think it makes them attractive or are they just lesbians?

They think it makes them more attractive to men

They want to attract girls

[broccolislaw1985]

As an ambassador for the male gender, I vehemently disagree with OP's opinion. Unless you're some hulking female on steroids, I find girls who lift weights and have athletic builds to be incredibly attractive.

[maverick2022]

Oh hey look! It's the ambassador of never-never land. We were wondering when you would show up to defend your hulk women.

If you think that women who lift weights generally look masculine, you're kinda telling on yourself for what you see in the mirror. Sure, lifting can be overdone, but if it threatens your manhood or sexuality, I have some bad news for you.

[maverick2022]

If that's what you think then you just told on yourself, Anonymous.

I'm not the one who's intimidated by strong women

[maverick2022]

So you're saying if a guy isn't attracted to a girl that means he's intimidated by her?

[Opinion Owner]

That's not what I said

[KatherineJ]

Maybe they aren’t concerned about what you think? Have you considered that?

[maverick2022]

Yes I did consider that, since we're living in the era of the "independent" woman that never shuts up about how much she doesn't need a man. 1) It's not very convincing 2) Most guys aren't attracted to muscular girls 3) You can't answer a question with a question

[KatherineJ]

Here we go…again. Ok, women suck. Got it.

[maverick2022]

Toting the party line? I can tell you've been on this site awhile. 😉

[KatherineJ]

Yep, I have. So I tend to dismiss when people bash the other sex as a whole. There are good men, and men that suck. There are good women, and women that suck too.

[maverick2022]

Right, except that you didn't distinguish before whether you meant that all women suck or only some of them. Thanks for clarifying. Can I add that everything may not be as black and white as it seems?

[KatherineJ]

My first reply to you was regarding your “1, 2, and 3” points. It came across like you didn’t much care for independent women, so my reply was sarcastic.

[maverick2022]

It was meant to be humorous. Every guy has seen the girl that I describe, the girl that is a mockery of everything she claims to represent. The truly independent person never feels the need to mention their independence.

[KatherineJ]

It wasn’t funny

[WhatTheHeckkkk]

I don’t know. Some girls would rather be fit and have muscles I guess.

[maverick2022]

Because they are attracted to male bodybuilder types?

[WhatTheHeckkkk]

I have got no idea.

[AvaOneLasTime]

Huh? it might be a part of their routine/workout. Not to attract any gender

[maverick2022]

Why not swimming, running, yoga, or calisthenics?

[AvaOneLasTime]

You ever knew an anorexic girl?

[maverick2022]

Nope, where I live there's actually a bunch of overweight/obese women so an anorexic girl would stick out like a sore thumb.

[AvaOneLasTime]

An anorexic girl doesn't have the soul to swim, run or calisthenics. Yoga won't do SHIT for her, sorry for the way i said it. Such girl needs to do some weight lifting, of course with small weights as start, because she doesn't have the energy to run or swim much. And she needs to build up her muscles back, after her body has converted them to life force, in order to keep her alive. It's the start she needs, to actually make her feel even more hunger, which might force her to eat more and get better.

[maverick2022]

Anorexia is a mental disorder that manifests as an underweight body. If the girl was looking to bulk up, she wouldn't be considered anorexic. I'm not talking about girls that tone up with little weights, I'm talking about girls that go into the gym and crush heavy weights like guys.

[AvaOneLasTime]

"I'm talking about girls that go into the gym and crush heavy weights like guys."
They may have their reasons or likings, what do we care? If you don't like them... well, you don't like them anyway, so they are not going to be into your life. And yes, Anorexia starts as mental disorder... that... until you get real, physical problems because of it.

[maverick2022]

I only bring it up because there is a lot of them. Seems to be at least 25% of girls at any gym I go to. Are you implying that female bodybuilders also have a type of body dysmorphia in the opposite direction?

[AvaOneLasTime]

I am not implying anything, lol, and that seems to be a case for your gym.
In my case, i still remember that poor, bony girl, having to workout... My heart was about to break.
Anyway, she got better!

[Tyrael]

Maybe they're just lifting weights to meet a fitness goal?

[maverick2022]

A fitness goal which makes them look and feel more masculine.

[exitseven]

It is hot when girls have some muscles on them.

[maverick2022]

I disagree but to each their own.

[htmndg183]

Yes. Means she takes care of her body and fitness.

[maverick2022]

There are a hundred ways to stay fit. There's one way to make your body more masculine.

[htmndg183]

Doesn't make her masculine.

[maverick2022]

Yes it does. High intensity weight training has been shown to increase testosterone more than any other dietary or lifestyle factor.

[htmndg183]

So what? Most women lift anyways. Why does it bother you?

[maverick2022]

It makes women less aesthetically pleasing.

[htmndg183]

Makes then more appealing to me.

[maverick2022]

Look at the females that the majority of men choose as models. They don't look like girls that hang out at the gym crushing weights.

[htmndg183]

They all do lift weights really. How else to they get toned legs and stay in shape and all that? Lifting weights is not bodybuilding lol.

[maverick2022]

Toning isn't really the same thing and there's a bunch of ways a girl can tone up without weights. Calisthenics and yoga to name a couple... Besides that I don't believe a girl needs tone to be attractive. Some guys like skinny girls just fine.

[htmndg183]

I prefer girls with muscle tone. Calisthenics is still lifting weight because you are building strength by using your body weight.

[In_Trance]

Some of them do but not all of them
