Do men like the appearance of muscular women who are fitness freaks?

[nina2992]

Would you date a woman who is into fitness so much?

[englisc]

No, I'm not usually attracted to women who are fitness freaks. They tend to diet to the point where their bodyfat levels are too low, which isn't even healthy. That idea comes from the idea that all fat is bad, which it isn't. Fertility is at it's peak when you're at your healthiest, and the ideal bodyfat percentage for fertility for a woman is somewhere between at least 18-25%. Female athletes tend to go as low as 10%, which lowers fertility.

The things men find attractive in a woman all have to do with fertility - youthful looks, good skin, nice hair, decent sized breasts. Even the way women apply make-up, whether they realise it or not which most probably don't, is applied in a way that mimmics features that show naturally when she's at her most fertile.

So when a girl has such a low bodyfat percentage that her abs are showing, that's a sign that she's less fertile, thus less attractive.

Also, women can't get to the size of the women you posted naturally since they don't have the amount of testosterone required to do so - those women are on steroids - a male hormone. That's why this is even more unattractive than women who do it naturally, they literally take a male hormone that makes them look more like men.

[DeathJack]

There's a certain level. The women in the pictures. Personally they're sexy as hell. But anything more than those? Or someone who is so iron clad in their fitness ways. No never.

[Anonymous]

Funny that many of the folks here who are body shaming someone who obviously takes pristine care of their body through diet and exercise would also be among the first to come to the defense if the image was of an overweight/obese woman. Double standards much?

[sweetman1234]

Don't you have to take in consideration that this app is for people to freely share their thoughts?

[Opinion Owner]

Right. And this is my opinion.

[Lovvyyy]

And my opinion is that looks has nothing to do with discipline. Has only to do with looks itself.

[jellyroo]

For a female body, that's not really fitness, more bodybuilding

[Acid74]

Personally I don't like the appearance of muscled girls... It just is not as aesthetic as a "normal" (or if you want to be sporty and really stand out an "athletic") body stature.
But don't get me wrong: that is a personal opinion...
I think there are far more important things I look for in a nice woman - personality and integrity. A nice body is a plus but not more ;)

[Tron5678]

Not all men are into it but some have this fetish.

I am into fit woman/cross fit but the moment you start looking masculine and too buffed up its a no.

Secondly, we are not insecure about our "masculinity" and that is not the reason why we don't like them cuz those who like its turns them on psychological cuz he is submissive and likes being overpowered by woman and most men aren't into this.

[Zenurus]

Why not? If she's into it and respects whether I'm into my things then let her decide what se does with her time. Maybe I'll even learn something from her, that I can take and use to improve something in my life.
Hell maybe I'll have a good spotter for once ;)

[DankMemeage420]

No, I like a feminine woman who can fulfill typical gender roles, but there are some exceptions where I like less feminine women, but not in a muscular way. They just don’t fall into the typical category of femininity. And no, I’m not talking about those obese whales. And before you say anything, I’m fat and personally I believe fat acceptance is absolute bullshit. And study has proven that in many cases, fat shaming actually helps. Well, I’m done with my little tangent

[Lovvyyy]

Can't speak for men, but I surely don't. I take a lot of time calculating the amount of calories I eat everyday in order to be sure to stay around 12-15% of fat mass. Not fatter, not thinner. I like going to the gym to get raise my butt and stay fit, but that's too much. Definition on its own is something I don't like on women, guess my opinion on muscles.

[Soham16]

Awesome

[Johnmiller123]

Hell no, that’s not attractive. If you have more muscle mass than the man you like, don’t expect them to be attracted to you, in MOST cases. If you workout, fine that looks amazing but if you look like you’re on something then no. If you’re that buff you don’t need a man because you are the man in men’s minds lol.

[desperatelyhungry]

What do you think a woman needs a man for (I'm not attacking you for what you said I'm just curious about what you meant)

[Johnmiller123]

man is pretty much always the dominant figure in a relationship and if they can’t be then they won’t feel attracted. It’s not about what a woman needs a man for, I was talking about how men see the situation. They see a buff chick and think you don’t need a man because you’re not submissive/feminine, you don’t need to be protected, your basically a man with a vagina and men that’s not attractive.

[DiegoO]

It looks anti natural for a woman.

The level of fitness I wouldn't reject is.. That would be my limit.

[kindangel]

I just think woman become less feminine when they are too much into sports, I don[t see why guys would want to date a manly looking woman. Have great respect for all the hard work to get their bodies into ultimate shape, but there is something missing when they do that.

[InTimoreDei]

Glad you understand it that way. I like women that want to stay in shape but women that are obsessed with sports and getting muscular are not attractive to me and they are missing the femininity that I like.

[The_FallenOne]

Well yes, but that's a bit much for any dude. Hell, I don't even like girls and that too much for me. When a female goes into body building you have to face the fact that you will be turned down by men A LOT more.

[Malita55]

Too muscular for men to find attractive I think. If they were fit but not bulging with muscle, it would be more attractive

[abc3643]

No.

Men want women who are feminine and feminine = opposite of masculine. Women with all those muscles look masculine.

The more feminine a woman appears, the more we want her.
The more masculine a woman appears, the less we want her.

[Vello]

In some way I agree with u. However, it is actually a hormonal thing. It is believed that man with low testosterone likes woman with high testosterone and other way around.

[Funerestle]

I love fit and toned girls, and don’t mind a bit of muscle. Bodybuilding just goes a little to far. Besides I love to play fight and play wrestle, and they would pop my head like a water Mellon with those legs.

[GingerGuy]

Muscle definition is usually a turn off, but having said that, there's more to her than that. If I like her in general, and there's mutual attraction, it's not likely going to be a deal breaker either.

[Kai02]

I think both men and women look kinda terrible after a certain point of muscle mass (around there)
But while i dont find either attractive i respect someone who had the endurance and patience to build up that.

[REALDUDE]

... .. You never know. What if one of them was really skinny or really fat? Its because of Overall health. I understand its its overwhelming but chances are not rare around 18 for the simplest light weight. However guy are just as the same? Gym people just want to fugh

[sodaa_popp]

If they aren't taking PEDs, then sure. The women above appear to have done a weight cut to be photo-shoot ready. They would not regularly look like that.

[LuckyEnough]

I personally like a wide range, but those ladies are not my taste. Pass, hard pass, on all of them. To each their own though, I'm sure many see perfection.

[Anonymous]

No way, that’s is unattractive. I don’t mind a girl being toned, but that is appealing. I like women who are form, yet soft if that makes sense. I’m not saying women can’t look like that, I’m just no that’s dating one that looks like that.

[LivinLegend]

Hell no

If you just working out in the gym to keep in shape thats cool but if you looking like how I looked in HS you or a mini arnold schwartzneger u just go get whole lotta beta cucks who are into that kinda thing

[x3mtsjovt]

I don't think I would if to decide based on appearance which the question seems to be targeted. They are beutiful in their own way, but it it is not really for me, even though I am sure they hve nice personalities.

[qmusclelvoer]

I've been dating one for the last 4 years and I love every muscle she has

[Griddlockk]

Definitely not. Not because I prefer women to be weak, but because fitness freaks in general look unattractive to me.

[Krokodyl]

I wouldn't really say that it is instant turnoff but this much fitness doesn't look too pleasing. They are more manly than I am

[UltimateGohan]

...;

[Knight3000]

Ha ha ha, this says it all. I mean there is a good figure and then there is a man! And whilst that might be for some, I'll pass!

[Demised]

I would love to. R u like muscular? M also muscular. I have 44 chest. 33 waist. 16 arms. No abs though. Also m 184 cm so its quite hard for a person like me to get bulgy muscles. What r ur measurements? 😊

[icedragoom]

To me at some point you do lose out on the feminine looks do to the fact you can bench press me and that there is a thing called being to muscular

[Matt57]

Maybe Gym Bros would, but I'm not really into it. I just like casual activity such as playing sports, martial arts, and hiking. I just want a casual girl as well.

[jessture]

It's honestly not my favorite body type, but here is someone who is very passioniate about what she does and who works very hard for it. Passion and a work ethic are very sexy in my book.

[steveguitar]

Fit yes. Super muscles, nope. Would scare me. Wouldn't make me feel desire for her at all

[Ligerzzero]

Hell yeah muscular women that are also fitness freaks are awesome.

[Cammy137]

To an extent. The women in the photos here are probably the upper limit to what id find attractive

[Afrochick]

WOAH
Not that extreme brah, looks like she on dat there test/tren time.

They like bikini/fitness/some figure competitor type bodies.

[trojanman008]

I personally would not date a woman with bigger muscles than me. I love working out and would love to date a woman who is also into fitness and has nice muscular definition.

[Namkrow]

Depends just how muscular they are and if they still have breasts. If they look like men, no, if I wanted a man, I'd date a man. If they looked like in the provided pictures, then yeah.

[Miristheiss]

Based on the photos you used no. Fit yes, muscles showing through skin no.

[elizamichale]

There should be a limit for both men n women coz tgey don't look good when they overdo it

[steve-o88]

I would, people don't understand these are poses and they don't look like that 24/7 I don't see them as manly but know there are some that do have a manly look. As long as she had a great personality, and feminine enough for me I would be interested.

[worldscolide]

Yes and no. If they look like the above sure, but I've seen some that look more like men than women. That's just gross

[Jamjam2]

I would but maybe not with quite as much muscle as the women in the pics. They all look like the could bodyslam me through the announce table multiple times.

[jdrrichmond]

I'm not attracted to women who are too ripped. I appreciate their fitness, but I like a woman to have softer edges. That said, beautiful women come in all shapes and sizes.

[Anonymous]

I like fit and sporty girls who are toned and athletic but... it depends.
Yes - if I like her face, and if she is not overly muscular.
No - if she looks like a steroid freak with large muscles.

[Rjking22]

I don't know. Women in the UFC are great but body builder probably not

[Steveram9]

Ooh no i don't like! That disgusting! I dont like to see muscular women! I have enough muscles no more needed lol

[StableMind]

Absolutely not nuff said a health freak is fine but I draw the like with body building girls not an attractive look to me no

[hello_kitty_man]

I like toned women, muscular women to me is a turn off. Personally I don't want a s/o that is more muscular than I am.

[Borrkan]

No man dont like mascular women. Its about aestetics. We like to see beauty not bruteness. I personally wouldn't like to date girl who looks like a dude.

[john221945]

Yes I would as long as the
feelings are mutual and the passion is there. I would love to make love to this one and make her muscles scream as long as we both
feel it

[Shar98]

As long as they don't use steroids. The ones in the pictures are just slightly too muscular

[coolombo]

no! omg. I see men with girl face. I like fitness girls like @sommerRay but not like the girls in those pictures

[Stewart997]

I don't mind them being fit and going to the gym but I wouldn't want a girl that is really muscular like that

[rmill121]

I like women who take care of themselves but when they start to look like men like these two... No thanks

[Raza181261]

No men like girls with soft and curvy body... Girls are made beautiful... They should not be fitness freaks like these... Men don't like girls with hard bodies... They do not even turn them on

[Anonymous]

it is a little much for me, but they are attractive none the less.

[roughedges]

No. Toned is nice but, to me, muscular women are unattractive.

[Vidyarthi]

No... If she is fit then hell yes... But if she is much muscular, then no

[Kiran04]

Those legs are what kill the look. They look out of proportion.

[scribner]

Overall fit is attractive. Bodybuilding level is a bit more than I like

[A-a-ron-d-man]

Fit with some muscle, yes. If we start talking massive body builders then absolutely not.

[Dxk007]

Abs yes, veins yes, fitness levels yes, muscles hell no.

[Daphne93]

I like fit woman but like a toned woman but not that big.
