8. We have to due a lot more cardio than most men
9. Our BMR's are much lower

Here is an article I just found that might explain some.

So, they are still hot. Even a fat moose chick can go out and hook up any night of the week - easily.

It's much, much harder for guys. A skinny fat guy can easily strike out 90% of the time. A really fat guy can strike out for years... yes years

women with REAL muscle that DON'T wanna look like a damn twig NEED to train just as hard as men do my friend. there are some of us that ACTUALLY train. i swear cardio bunnies make all of us look bad. good grief.
I think that is the point people are trying to make. Girls don't have to have REAL muscle to look hot. Those skinny fat girls can be just as hot as a girl that works her ass off.

MY point is that IMO, they can't because i don't find that look attractive in the least. this topic is highly subjective. some women like chunky hairy guys. who am i to criticize.

This is true.

All a girl has to do is get a tan, and walk around in a pair of shorts and a small top on to get guys drooling.

Let a guy with no muscles walk around in a muscle shirt (or shirtless) and see the what happens. The reactions won't be the same.

When it comes to looking good and attracting the opposite sex, women do have it easier (IMO, of course).

Some guys actually like a women with a little extra meat on her bones.

How many women out there really like a guy with a little extra meat around the, say, waist?

As far as building muscle goes...well...since I have no experience in being a woman, I'll just have to agree with the post made here about it being harder, I suppose.

I still do think women have it easier when it comes to looking good enough to attract the opposite sex, though.

Of course, there's always going to be individuals who might not find the skinny/fat female look attractive, like the gal I posted above. But I'd guess 90% of the population does. That's one of the points that is being made in this thread. Reaching the standard of "attractiveness" -- which is set by general consensus -- is comparatively easier for women than it is for men.

You'll get no argument from me, or most people for that matter, that achieving a hardcore fitness/bodybuilder look is indeed easier for men. There are two distinct issues being discussed here.

Man you looking good wolf. Pics speak it all both sexes look about equal. Well i can't really explain what i mean but you guys get it right? Also I'm assuming that girls will find that guy in the middle attractive.

LOL i find them all good looking with the girl on my right the least but still good. I guess as a bodybuilder i like muscular toned girls best but i still like fat skinny to a certain extent.

I always thought so. Trying to keep on 25-50+ pounds while staying lean at the same time?

Then again, I'm not a chick so who knows.

I agree that the gal in blue trunks is smoking. But to say the three gals on the right are disgusting reminds of guys who say that Frank Zane was "too scrawney" and looked like crap. It's like, anything short of an "extreme" top 0.001% of the general population physique is considered ugly or something. It's borderline mental illness if you ask me, like anorexia.

BTW, and no offense intended here (heck you might even take this as a compliment), but I didn't realize you were a lady! Now I know.

Personally, I think the 3 girls are much much better looking than the one in blue shorts.

Funny how you all describe them as scrawny yet they obviously have more fat than the one in blue.

Those 3 are way hotter than the one in the blue shorts. A ripped chick doesnt do it for me at all.

Maybe the women body isn't made to be muscular? Maybe trying to make it muscular is pushing it to an abnormal state? Just a food for thought...

Yeah but most girls would rather have 95% of the men out there find them hot than to have you find them hot

That is my whole point, most guys (including myself) find them sexy... and they don't care what some body building chick thinks of them.

I find those girls much more sexy than a body builder girl while she is in high heels, flexing and an over-dark fake tan. If girls are body building, I think they look a lot better relaxed than they do flexed and ready for competition... to me that is

Maybe the girls that think they look better big do it because they like big guys. Muscles turn them on so they assume that guys like girls to have muscles... which is may not be true (especially non-lifting guys)

Maybe who cares. What is your ideal is your own personal opinion, fine you like guys/chicks a certain way, that is your perogative.

Who has it easier or not.... who cares. Worry about yourelf. By the looks of society today, we all have it pretty difficult.



Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.
