Female Body Builders. Do You Think They Look Good Or Not?

I just happened to catch Dr. Keith's Talk Show this morning and his topic was one that I have always wondered. I have often wondered why a women would want to make herself look this way. The answers were very interesting. The guests he had on his show said that they didn't start out wanting to body build. One of the guests had been a ballerina. One of the guests was married and said that her husband was supportive of her. I don't think this looks natural at all. It was interesting listening to them tell why they decided to go to body building. But it still doesn't look good to me. A women shouldn't look this way. Maybe that is the old fashioned part of me speaking. I don't know. What do you all think?

I saw the same show this morning and I agree with you. Women aren't suppose to look that way. This isn't what God intended. I'm glad female body builders are in the minority precentile and not the majority. It's just plain ugly.

When I saw the show and thought how ugly their bodies look. Not appealing at all.

I totally agree, female bodybuilders aren't appealing at all. Thanks for the best response rating, I appreciate it.

There is nothing sexy about a Female Body builder. Yes women can do anything but really I don't think they should be doing body building. Don't get me wrong I love good looking women just not the body building types.

There is nothing wrong with a women toning up but to me this is more than toning up. It looks very bad to me.

I am not sure why a woman would want to do that either, I know I certainly wouldn't want to do it. It just looks so weird to me. I like to see a woman look feminine. I guess I am old fashioned too.

I just HATE THEM.They scare me out.Women have always been the picture of someone who is week in physique and guys are the ones who are supposed to be built physically and look strong.Whats the point if girls wanna look like men when men dont like checking out girls who look like them?Besides they dont look all that good too.

it depends, if their purpose of body building is to stay fit and likewise stay healthy,it's good for them, but then, if their goal is to have those bulky and large muscles,then personaly, I disagree with that.

yeah this idea is kinda weird maybe one of their reasons is to be physically fit that's why these women chose to be body builders but for it's doesn't look good coz they sometimes have a macsculine look because of the muscles. I can be afraid of them it's good to know that their husbands or family supported them for doing this.

I dont think it looks nice at all. I used to work with a girl who went into competitions and did quite well. She was very proud of her muscles and I honestly thought she did not look nice at all..so unfeminine. When she was not striking one of her competition poses and was dressed normally I was not the only one in the office who thought she looked looked a drag queen

I think it is great for a woman to get into good shape. But I have never liked the female bodybuilders. I haven't a clue if it is good for a woman to look this way, but from a physical standpoint, I don't find them attractive. I can't argue against a woman wanting to do this. It is their choice.

I don't think anybody ( male or female )looks good when they take it to the extreme these body builders do. A little toning is good but lets not get excessive.

It's ok I do not really have a problem with that at all, but I have seen some body builders that look way out of it to be females. I think the female body can be very musculer and strong but not all the way to when your veins are sticking out your body.

I personaly think it is very ugly and masceline when women body builders get really big. It doesn't look right. I seen a very buff female and a man kissing at the mall at first I thaught it was 2 big men kissing that was one of the most disgusting things I hhave seen in a long time. Females should stay true to themselves wanting to look like a man is not being true to yourself if you are a female.

As a woman myself, I never want to look like that. I dont' like the look of muscular women, but each to their own I say. And I'm sure that there are guys out there who love it.

Women are designed to look softer that men and it's been that way ever since. I think what drives these women to go into body building is to project a sense of strength like their male counterparts. Toned muscles are nice to look at, but huge muscles and veins that look more like that of a man's body isn't natural and therefore a little awkward to look at. But to each his own, right? If they feel comfortable about it, then I think there will be no problem. What's important is that they are okay with their own selves and it makes them happy.

erm.. frankly speaking.. i don't think female body builder looks good.. i think women are better to be looking slim than to look muscular.. hope you get what i mean.. as you say.. the guest is a ballerina... i think ballerina is really good as it helps to make your body more flexible right... i mean the ballet dance....i do know many girls are more open minded nowadays.. and building body is nothing to them.... they still think they look good with muscular body....what happen if the girl is looking more muscular than the boy? can they date each other?

In my opinion female body builers also look good. But they lack that feminine touch that I like about a girl so I guess thats it.

To me I think even EXTREME muscles on a man are kind of gross. I think that it's great if you set a goal and achieve it, no matter what it is. But personally being able to flex every muscle in your body is really gross. And plus I think another body builder turn off is how they grease there selves up. I am all for cleanliness, and like tanning oils or even some lotions that make your skin feel all greasy is really gross. Plus a woman should be soft and cudly not all hard and muscular. I sware when those body building shows come on TV I have to change the channell. Once I was at a friends house and we were flipping through the channels and we had thsi same discussion abotu women body builders and watching the show made me gag. I am definately more attracted to the natural look. Especially when it comes to women. And to add a note that I believe is very important "There is nothign wrong with a little fat on anybody. Everybody has it at one time or another."

Nah i dont like the woman "bodybuilders" I think they lose their woman looks and status when they became one .. Its cool a woman to keep her good body at the fitnes but not become a bodybulder !
