Sexy, or Not (Page 2)

You think anybody thinks I'm a failure because I go home to Starla at night? Forget about it!

I have a couple of friends who are into the natural body building competition scene... like BigB said, when they are out everyday they look great. But when they get all cut and bronzed and oiled and flexed, it's just not attractive to me. 

That being said, I'm a fan of anyone (my friends or not) pursuing a healthy lifestyle they love. Like most of us here.

As for the OP girl? Yes. Yes. It looks like she's doing an exercise that naturally pops her abs, so I'm sure when she's just standing around they don't look like that. Either way. Yes.

I don't like this in a man, much less a woman. Grotesque.

It looks as though even her nipples have muscles.

^^^^ This

Couldn't have said it better myself.

She looks incredible.  

For me, I love the athletic fit and low body fat look but I find bodybuilder types (like the other picture) to be hideous.
Obviously physical attraction is a very personal thing that's shaped over a lifetime for each one of us individually so no one size fits all. 

^^ What she said.  I'm in my thirties, have had two children (by c-section, one of which had to transect all abdominal muscles due to crash situation), and no matter how much I work out, will never be a skinny and ripped woman.  Like all things, there needs to be a balance:  by beginning to train for a triathlon, I'm learning to put caring for myself as more of a priority, but caring for my family will always trump the laser focus on my physique. 

Also wanted to give a big hug (yes, there are melons involved LOL) to the guys who have written some lovely things in support of healthy women who look like women and how it encompasses more than just physical stature.  (briderdt, skipg, Leegoocrap, thebigb, RBesecke, just for starters...   MWAH! <3)

wwlani:  For the record, I think you are beautiful.  Granted, it has something to do with caring and insightful responses I've seen around the board, but even just from a superficial and visual point, you look like a strong, healthy, gorgeous woman.  Rock it, girl!!!

I find attitude WAY more sexy than looks.  Meaning, I have known girls that may not be supermodels or have perfect bodies, but I found AMAZINGLY sexy and attractive based on their personality/attitude.  Confident, sexual, maybe a little adventerous - at the same time, not being too slutty or trying too hard or "diva".

As for physically attractive?  I still like many types, but the girl in the picture in the OP, is deffinately one of my "types"!  She is hot.  I really like fit, a lot.  You don't have to be "ripped", but toned and fit is nice.  If fitness also includes curves?  Absolutely fine by me!

Crossfit world champion Annie Thorsdottir.  Anyone like? I must admit that I am both intrigued and scared.  I do have a penchant for strawberry blondes & redheads.

She's on a new Reebok commercial...  Intimidating in a way, but yeah, I would.

She'll kick your azz.

My wife can kick my azz, too.  Because she is meaner than me.  Not a strength issue. 

Annie looks gentle.

She looks fantastic, as does the woman in the OP. As others have mentioned, when they're not all pumped up for competition, they probably don't have the ripped ab look. Their arms and legs look great. Very natural.

I say natural because of the steroid bodybuilders posted in this thread--obvious huge difference. I saw a documentary on female bodybuilders and it was some scary stuff. They have natural divisions and steroid divisions--which I think they call "open". The 'roid users undergo some awful scary affects--male facial structure, voice etc. Plus whatever other damage they're doing to their bodies.  For what? It's sad.

Anyway, I'm all for women achieving whatever fitness goals they want if done naturally. Even if it means weights and muscles. Without the drugs, they'll never reach the huge mass that we've seen here from the juicers.

Maybe just a little too ripped for my tastes. I'd like to see her with her hair down and in a dress though. She looks like she'd soften up a bit

When a women goes from having breasts to having pecs its NOT sexy.

Gentle?  I don't know...I'd guard my knee, she reminds me of Tonya Harding.  

Again, a tough picture there.  Not enough information to determine for me...wouldn't rule her in or out just based on that shot.

My thoughts exactly.  I would only agree to meet her carrying a stout billy club....

Now this girl is putting her fitness to good use.

Im in love...And I can't tell a single thing about her face!
