Most women are never going to bulk up. There are exceptions, or people with unusual hormone make up, but a regular woman can put on a small amount of muscle but no more. The most that's going to happen is you'll look lean and harsh rather than smooth. Like Madonna, or Milla Jovovich, lol!

I think it sucks how most women freak out at the idea of putting on muscle 'because it's not sexy/feminine'. WTF? Since when is being sexually attractive more important than your abilities, your personal accomplishment, and something that is good for your health??

Same with being tall. If ONE more young woman whines about being 5'8 or 5'9 'because most guys are the same height as me' I'm going to slap her. :evil:


Those people have a different idea about things than you do. Not saying you are wrong, personally I rather like strong and independent and capable women, but they probably just worry that most guys would find that not so attractive. Different priorities. But there is a logic at work.

I cherish my manly looks. :)

Also, the thing about me is that I'm not like most women. Women sould be whatever size they wish to be, and they shouldn't listen to the media, their parents or society.

I'm not even 18 and I lift weights. It doesn't give you man arms.

Thank you! I've been trying to make that point for ages. Most women simply don't have the testosterone to put on more than a small amount of muscle.

And if you did you'd be the bearded lady

I've seen women weightlifting on ESPN a few times while channel surfing & they were extremely muscular. Their bodies looked kinda like a suit of armor. Really freaky
