Muscles and Girls...

Tue Jan 6, 2009, 11:00 AM
Lately, I've been reading comments on fanart requests done by major artists that involve female muscle. While it appeases members of the femmuscle community, it seems to be a huge turnoff to many others. To some people it seems like *any* muscle on a female is unattractive.

Personally, I like a bit of definition on a girl. Scrawny girls seem to be the norm, and while the shape of a slim figure is appealing to me, a girl who's not afraid to pump a little iron is even more admirable.

Don't give me wrong, though- I have my limits. Anything beyond the physique of a fitness model (or a mild bodybuilder) usually grosses me out. In fanart, it's impressive because it's great to see how detailed an artist can be (See the impressive definition of Tootie on my latest commission). In real life, though, it makes them look like they're trying to avoid every guy possible.

So I guess my question is: what's your opinion of female muscle? Is a little good, or is it really unbecoming of a lady? Any opinion will be respected.

I like strong girls as long as they still look feminine.

I love muscles on a woman. Fitness model level is good, bodybuilder is cool, but the only ones I do have problem with is the manga style Incredible Hulk-looking pics you see from time to time. Those are a little frightening.

Before you Ban me please tell me why? 99% of what i say i am joking so i have no idea why.

Well, if all tomboys are like Toph, I agree. And Amazons can be really lovely creatures themselves if you look past their unusual build.

I third the motion. Balance is best.

Is it so elemental?

Eh...overly muscular girls sicken me. It's not natural.

I guess a little muscle is okay...
