Hell yeah definitely. The last couple of months I've been getting into it as well as there is this girl at the gym who fits exactly the bill you're mentioning and I've developed such a crush on her. Muscular, strong, women are hot.
Though I do agree Chyna level would but way too much but I'd also agree any guy who wants to look like a professional body builder like Jay Cutler or some shit is a bit much.

I don't know what o expected. I'm not asking nor do I care if women who lift give you guys boners.

What. No one is forcing anybody to do anything. We just invited him to come along because we thought he'd like it. Forcing a lifestyle? You got all that based on what I said?

Yeah, as long as she is not built like Chyna, I don't mind.

The guys who think it's possible for an every day woman to look like Chyna needs a rude awakening.

That's exactly it. It's just not normal. Same for a guy being nearly 300 pounds with 3% body fat. It's kind of weird.

I'm completely fine with women who strength train. Problem is I'm pretty much a weed myself and for health reasons, probably couldn't keep up though I'd be willing to try. So I don't know if women who strength train would be into me.

This, even the super strong girls at my gym don't look like they lift at all, deceivingly strong.

I mean, to be fair, the way the first post was worded sounded like "my friend just got broken up with by her man because he felt emasculated, my boyfriend doesn't feel this way, what are your thoughts on women who lift", which reads pretty close to "is male-GAF attracted to women who lift".
That said, I think women who lift are awesome and worthy of a ton of respect. My wife doesn't, but I don't think less of her for it.

Pretty hot actually. I find girls that lift to have the kind of musculature I want. However, there is a point where they can become way too into it and start to get thought of being bodybuilders. That's the point where I'm out.
3 times at the gym, do your squats, dead lifts, bench presses and a few other compound exercises. If the woman is worrying about calorie intake, bulking, slimming to maximize muscle definition, that's too much for me.

I think more should do it!
"I don't want to strength train, I'll get too bulky!" is largly untrue for women, hormones and stuffs make it so that only the top end of training would make you larger. Strength training does however help keep off fat with more lean muscle mass burning up calories.

I'm all in. Im only no on people who are dangerously overweight or underweight. Slim or curvy both get my blessing.
I think women who are in to strength training look beautiful. I know my friends and even my sister says it makes women look manly, and that it's unattractive. I find that thinking to be silly and I don't see how that's even remotely bad.
If girls are being rejected for doing strength training and it makes their partner feel inferior, that person wasn't worth their time.

This is my biggest fear losing weight.
I was doing strength training for two months and then my semester got hectic and I broke the habit. I really need to start up again.

Body goals. I wonder how long it took her to achieve this.

I don't care if a women likes to exercise, that's a good thing to me, not a bad thing.
There is nothing my wife could do with herself that would bother me. I saw her with food poisoning while pregnant, and I still found her attractive.
And if she somehow got stronger then me, well I can easily lift my body weight for an extended period of time. If she could do that, we'd invent some new stuff to do with each other. It would be fun.
As for other women, they don't matter to me like that. Idc how they look or what they do.

As a guy, it is hard to argue that women who look after their bodies aren't significantly more attractive than women who don't... but once you start taking questionable supplements (roids) and messing with your body chemistry... and then that starts changing not only your appearance but your demeanor... yeah... that isn't sexy (IMO). Also, that line can change real quick.
Same thing for us guys. Looking like some inflated muscle balloon with a dick that is as reliable as a Pinto is just ridiculous.
IMO Jessica Biel is right on the money.

People should do what they please. I don't have any problem with it.
But i don't think bodybuild muscular is very attractive on a woman. In fact, i don't even think bodybuild muscular is attractive on a man. Luckaly, a lot of other people do.
Sportlike athletic is nice. But bodybuilder stuff looks weird to me. Let's all be glad we like different things ;P.

Aesthetically not my preference. That's about as far as my thoughts go and as far as I feel they should go.

I certainly don't jump to objectifying them and deciding on their worth based on attractiveness. I'm not 13 years old.

I have no problem with it, as long as the women understand I'm not into strength training myself.
