Skinny fat

So-so skinny fat/muscle

or muscle?

OR. Girls with abs? Girls with flat tummys? Or girls with a little pooch?

Just curious.

Muscle in women...not sure - certainly not too much.  There's so many different body types can't pick one - Women with endomorphic body types (who are fit like Kim Kardashian is hot), with mesomorphic type like Jennifer Garner, also hot, and since I myself is of the skinny(ectomorph) variety I like skinny women :D

def. girls with muscles, the more the better,a s long as they don't lose the feminine features of the face from drugs
Girls with muscles are the best! I always compliment strong women at the gym.
 What is this "too much muscle" of which you speak?

 "Null concept - does not compute - error, error, beep!" :-P

Well, if you overdo the exogenous androgens and have to start shaving your face every morning it's probably a bit over the top - but drugs aside, as Bodyscience says it's not physically possible to build "too much muscle" :)

 'Course, we realise that some men prefer you weak and dependent, 'cause they're wimps who can't deal with strong women. Ignore them - don't let anyone else's idea of who you should be hold you back from exploring the limits of your potential.

 Not even my ideas - I don't understand it, but I do know that some people don't particularily want more muscle. It's all about what makes you comfortable in your own skin - what do you want?
i've always been of the "athletic build" we'll call it.  so i always admire sleek and tall women who have nice long and lean muscles. although, i've recently come to appreciate my more powerful build. as i age, i find i get more attention from both sexes because of it hahaha.

i'm finally growing into my look, maybe? although I wouldn't kick heidi klum out of bed for eating crackers.

Edit  to add: I'm actually interested in men, I realise this post made it seem the opposite. My interest is with men, but I'm an admirer of women.

I'm "interested" in men too, but said what kind of woman's body I like more. It's funny how automatic it is to judge and apply importance to women's bodies ;-)

HAHA there is nothing wrong with admiring the female form .. tbh i think women who say otherwise need a good kicking ...

Personally i like women who obviously take care of themselves there is something very attractive about toned muscular women, don't get me wrong woman who start on the steriods and start looking like men arn't attractive but they take it waaay too far.  

Women need to stay feminine looking but i seriously do not agree with the opinon thatt so many women seem the have that muscles are bad on a woman,

I think its quite possible to be well toned and have good muscles while retaining your femilinity... and personally i plan to get some muscles so i can be toned and sexy looking :P

 

women with curves but toned at the same time

I like men who wear short shorts to the gym. That's really it.

Don't want to sound too much like a father, but.....don't focus on what others "like".  Be confident in what YOU like and others will be attracted to THAT.  Physical attributes pale in comparison to passionate and confident traits.

I like muscles. There are a few women at the gym who have such defined muscles that I want to walk up to them and say, "Ok, show me everything you do because I want to look like that!"

A lot of people can slim down, but getting that much desired muscle tone and definition is quite a challenge, so I think that's what I'm so attracted to it and striving for it myself.

Dang i guess i am no ones type. LOL. Oh well. Maybe one day i will be.

I'm with Hawkeyegal. I appreciate women w/ a good amount of muscle and definition and that is one of my goals too. There is a woman at the gym I workout at that is just fantastic looking and I would love to ask her what she eats and what her workout schedule is like but I don't feel comfortable asking her.  I have seen a few women though that I think are too lean and have too much definition and that to me is not so sexy. But, either way I do respect the amount of discipline and effort they put into it.

I think that even people say that "too much muscle" is not possible. I dont really like a girl with crazy abs I or  have a little boys body sorry :[ But I do like toned. I also like flat. Pooch can sometimes be cute, but not on me lol.

I do believe that confidence is the main key though, but really when your aiming for a body type there is ALOT of difference in what to do to get to that. I just wanted to see what people like more. It seems a lot like muscle which is cool. I was a flat tummy with muscle hehee. I want to lift as heavy or more as a guy and still look REALLY adorable.

In other girls, I like the appearance of like the middle ground, I guess. If she's extremely overweight, it gives the impression of not taking care of herself at all, which is a big turn-off. A "little extra baggage" doesn't bother me one bit. But frail and skinny and underweight, I don't find attractive at all, in either sex.

Just about everything right between the two extremes, hardened or soft, is appealing to me. And the little pooch in the tummy is absolutely adorable. :] It's about THIS point and beyond where I think it finally gets to 'too much muscle', because it just doesn't look feminine to me anymore.  I like girls, I like guys, but I like them to really look what they are.  I'm not really attracted to the skinny, emo boy look in guys, either: it looks too girlish.

But that's just me.  I don't think there's a woman out there who isn't beautiful, I just have certain preferences for what catches my eye.

if i were a man, i would say fit. just fit. good muscle, little fat. healthy and fit, but not skinny or weak. a girl like me without, say, 20 pounds of fat. :)

but i am not a dude, dude... so ya... i suppose men do like fit women and not the skinny-fat girls as i get a lot more looks these days (from guys i had thought of as out of my league 4 years ago). even when i was 190 pounds, i got more looks than my skinny-fat tiny little wee room mate.

but then again, i am single and have been for a very long time, so ya - looks can't be all that important as i certainly don't have flocks of men following me home.

but, please define 'a little pooch' because there is a difference in what you may call a little pooch which is just how a very thin girls belly is shaped, giving her a little pot belly - and a girl who is unfit with 20 pounds of flab!

in that case "my little pooch" is describing to broad a range of bellies.

bellies is one thing i don't get. i weigh 160 pounds with a high % muscle, and have the most hideous belly button and a roll there (ugh) and i see some BBW with flatter tummies, no rolls and a normal shaped belly button at 220+ pounds! grrr...................... >:(

so ya. on the flip side, i like slim men. toned. slightly built, but not totally ripped. cut, not bulging. i feel as their (potential) counterpart, i too should be slightly built, fit and slim.

I love poeple watching, always have. I wonder if guys check out guys the way that girls check out girls.

Anyways, I like looking at women who are slim and have good definition. Probably because that's how I would like to look ;)

For men, I prefer a slim build with good definition as well.

huh- that seems kind of boring doesn't it!

My boyfriend always says he likes girls that are kind of delicate and feminine. He likes my tiny wrists and other tiny parts of me but he also likes the fact that I have a nice feminine poochy tummy. He isn't really attracted to muscular girls. I don't know, maybe he's in the minority.

I think his main like desire that his girl still be really really feminine and not look like she could beat him up. I guess that's kind of what I want most for myself too, a really feminine body, not too muscular.

My boyfriend likes Kim Kardashian -> Ashanti types.

Fit, but curvy.

 

So do I.

in guys, skinny AND muscle Smile, but not too much muscle, just a littlel. sorry, i'm one of those girls who thinks a guy in skinny jeans smaller than me is highly attractive.

BUT it's more attractive if they're just confident in themselves, muscular or fat.

Is jump roping as good an exercise as running?

In terms of calorie burning, moderate jumping is about equal to running a 10-minute mile, although calorie burning is always a function of time... Read more
