Support NeoGAF

[vikki]

They're cool, let 'me do what they like. I get that the dudes may feel insecure about it, but they have to get over it. It's not about them.

 

[AbortedWalrusFetus]

I think that they are smart to realize weight/strength training is vastly superior to running.

Running sucks. So boring.

Yes we are.

gon add FallingEdge's wife to the pile

She's a GAFer's wife? Wow.

 

[Az987]

As a rule of thumb, she can't have better abs than me.

Seriously though, I've never had a girlfriend who exercises very much. Most don't at all. It would probably be fun because of how much I do.

 

[norm9]

Every woman I've dated has been in more shape than me. One in particular had great bicep game. I'm impressed and jealous.

 

[forrest]

Based on the pictures in the OP...

It takes all kinds. As a married man, I support my wife in all decisions she makes regarding her physical appearance.

You wanna wear high tops? Get it!

You want a pink Mohawk? Get it!

You wanna go diesel in the gym? Get it!

You wanna lift at a competitive level? Natural only!

I wouldn't support steroid use, but I would proudly stand next to my wife if she wanted to get next level big.

 

[HarryKS]

That's a very strange question.

 

[Violet_0]

I don't find that body type particularly attractive, but I don't have to find every body type attractive and that's okay. Most people don't care about what I find attractive and that's okay too

 

[Salamando]

Becky post gym selfie is my wallpaper so I agree

Which one?

..might need the source

Alexa Grasso. She's an MMA fighter out of Mexico.

 

[CrocMother]

What kind of sad dudes actually get insecure about this kind of thing?

 

[Maximo]

The last picture you posted is alittle off putting to me (no judgement look however you want) but have tried to get my SO into light strength training, think guys should but their insecurity to the side strength training has a ton of benefits for women too

They are cool with me. You can be strong without being super-muscular and lean.

Good example.

[Madness]

...but then when she starts lifting weights and gets stronger than him, more often than not they start to panic and feel immaculated for whatever reason.

Who would feel emasculated by THEIR girlfriend being strong, physically fit, and with great lean muscle mass? Have you ever seen the top bikini or fitness models? Or the women who are at the gym? Also, if you both go to the gym, you would be immensely proud if your girl was hitting high lift numbers.

Also, Female bodybuilders are different because at the top levels, they inject male steroids like testosterone and suppress their own estrogen and female hormones, this causes their massive musculature increase, their more androgynous voice and appearance, even hair loss or hair growth on the face.

Anyone who feels embarassed at their girl lifting or being fit or strong is an idiot.

 

[Borgnine]

I'll just come out and say I want to be held down an milked by one of these women.

 

[Supast4r]

I think it's hot.

 

[Cipherr]

A dude broke up with his lady over her getting in shape? I mean, people break up for petty shit all the time, but damn, that's a new one to add to the list.

 

[MrToughPants]

Unless they're on PEDs, that should not be a problem. Women simply don't have the enough free testestorene to build that much lean mass naturally.

Agreed.

They also don't naturally maintain low body fat like men can. Weak androgens like oxandrolone (anavar) are very popular among female fitness models, crossfit, and athletes. The side effects are minimal like oily skin, acne, and a delay or loss of their period. Two of the example pictures in the OP stick out as being on some kind of enhancer.

 

[Not]

Like, am I attracted to it? Yeah. But who gives a shit

Women looking however they want to look sounds great to me

 

[Teriyaki Blues]

Women who are comfortable in their own bodies are extremely attractive.

 

[FyreWulff]

Go for it. Men that feel insecure about women working out are losers.

Also means you have a gym buddy

 

[Keihart]

I don't mind, i really don't have any complex about being superior to womans in any way, Besides, those girls on the OP look hot as hell.

 

[a very cute dog]

It's an attractive quality!

 

[NHarmonic.]

They are cool with me. You can be strong without being super-muscular and lean.

She's kinda hypnotizing. Can't stop watching.


IMO, Both men and women in the BB- "aesthetic" tag are really hot.

 

[Cindi Mayweather]

I wasn't sure if they were or not because I didn't see any symptoms.

He wanted to stop lifting and go back to her old workout. She refused; he broke up. They were together maybe a year.

 

[ThisGuy]

Its sexy in a date casually way.

Couldn't see myself in a long term relationship with someone like that. This of course is based on looks alone. Throw in a killer personality and she might knock me dead.

 

[Velocity:Design:Comfort]

I love it honestly. I guess partly its because I also strength train, but I love fit women.

 

[PaulloDEC]

I find all of the examples in the OP to be super unappealing, but I find this:

...incredibly sexy. So I dunno?

I never agree when people say someone is a jerk for breaking up with someone who doesn't take care of themself, but breaking up with someone for getting in shape is really really stupid.

Weight lifting has extremes. You can have low body fat, or more medium body fat, or higher body fat. You can strive for physique and sexiness or go for competition.

 

[Salamando]

Dude probably thinks that if the girl doesn't need him for his muscles, she'll have no other use for him. Lotta guys are scared of an independent woman.

 

[grumble]

It is ridiculously awesome to see women who are fit and have a little muscle mass. It's all subjective, but the scrawny, underfed and undermuscled look isn't my thing. A fit, healthy and capable woman who has the character to stick to something and kick some butt in the weight room (despite moronic social norms against it, though that is changing) is usually far more attractive on the outside and the inside.

The pictures in the top post can be achieved naturally but are pretty far along. fairly advanced strength training folks, more than most people would ever get to. It'd be the equivalent of a guy with a deadlift in the mid 400s. Even if people who have that level of advancement aren't going to turn Everyone's crank, you have to admire their achievements. Don't think they'll have ANY issues getting laid though...

Im a big supporter of this trend of people getting strong and fit. It is such a good idea for people's health, especially worn byeho will often suffer from low bone density and sarcopenia with age.

OP, keep it up!

 

[Leithkorias]

I'm ready to accept death by snu snu.

 

[Forearm Star]

Nothing wrong with it, but I find the people who do it for sport and competition (like the seriously jacked and bronze type) to be unattractive. That goes for men and women actually. But they shouldn't give two shits what I think, more power to them.

Girl in the example above is not what I'm talking about.. What she's got going on is great..

Edit - Did the dumb thing and posted before completely reading the OP. Ignore

 

[FUME5]

I'll just come out and say I want to be held down an milked by one of these women.

*makes note*

 

[Forerunner]

I don’t have a problem with it. I’d love for my potential partner to be fit and take their health seriously. That being said, I don’t really find the women in the OP to be attractive.

 

[User 479360]

It's fine, but not really for me. Strength training doesn't interest me, and I prefer girls who are more regular looking.

 

[Kozak]

I find all of the examples in the OP to be super unappealing, but I find this:



...incredibly sexy. So I dunno?

Its because she hasn't deyhdrated herself to tighten the skin and highlight her muscles for a photo shoot.



edit:

Some of the girls in the OP are actually smaller than her. Just the dehydration thing and a post workout picture make them look bigger than they are.

 

[cdyhybrid]

I hope they don't do cardio or they can say goodbye to their gains.

 

[mf.luder]

I was doing squats tonight across from a girl doing cleans and she had sculpted legs.

 

[Cindi Mayweather]

Look at these Godesses.

 

[How About No]

Hawtest thing evarr, but I am not worthy. Though I think it starts looking weird after a certain threshold

That bf is one jelly little bitch

 

[Shaanyboi]

They can do whatever they want, and that's about the end of my mental investment.

 

[Hunter S.]

Only a fan of muscular butt, or thigh. Not in strong/tone in back, stomach and especially not arms and chest exercises for women.

 

[Hollycat]

I'm a woman and I adore muscular women. Send me an Amazon!

 

[Takuan]

Muscles and tone are A-OK with me.

The limit is when they start looking like the dudes on the covers of those muscle magazines.

 

[Hunter S.]

My guess is that the guys that don't mind it are more likely to answer than those that don't. Even guys can be too nice.

 

[Verelios]

I'm not gonna lie, this is my fetish.

 

[daffy]

Who cares what men think. That's the problem in the first place

Fuck that bf obv she's in a better place now mentally and physically. There's guys out there that like anything and everything sooo

 

[OrlanisWorks]

I dunno. Seems pretty attractive to me. I'd be an asshat if I wanted to hold a girl back from being a stronger, healthier person.
