Her implants look down right silly??? Are you kidding me? I’d be all over that shit. You sure you have functioning equipment down there?

I am willing to bet that if she came up to you and set “let’s fuck” and while you leaped at the chance and was doing the deed and she said “play with my boobies” I’m sure the last thing out of your mouth would be as to how silly her implants look.

You’d be bragging to all of your buddies after that you just banged the hottest chick you’ve ever have or will have laid your hands on. Puhleeze.

Beat me to it. She’s hot as hell.

Seriously. She’s ridiculous!! Ridiculously HOT! Good Lord, look at her! How freaking impressive.

I HAVE to wonder if the differences in all of our views is the inability to separate sexuality from athleticism? It’s not always about who is the most fuckable. I for one enjoy looking at women (and men) and appreciating their physiques and the time they have spent on them!!

Well said. And in her case, I appreciate her physique and the time she’s spent on it AND…She’s very fuckable. ;0

Jenn. I like you. Amen to all your posts!

I did cover that issue in my response early on in this thread…

Well said, and you definitely have a point about the sexualization of women as objects of desire. We’ve all pretty much had that drilled into our skulls from birth by the media (here in the states as least).

People look at her (at least people who don’t realize the drive and effort that it took to get that body) and the first thing they think of is her value as an object of lust

(not saying that the thought didn’t cross my mind when I saw that picture, but knowing what it took to get there is equally as attractive IMO) or how she fits into their perceived “ideal” of what a woman should look like. They don’t think, “damn, that body probably took some blood, sweat, and tears to get”.

Heck in a lot of cases they’d probably try to shoot her down somehow to make themselves feel better about not being willing to put in that same effort, or whatever insecurities they might have. Like…well judging her for getting implants for example. :wink:

Part of that is true though. The reason to develop big arms and shoulders is to compensate for…smaller arms and shoulders?

too be honest I prefer my woman with a bit of curve, not veins etc

however there dedication is actually going to lend in there favour, if she came up too me I wouldn’t knock it back.[/quote]

I hear this all the time and there is even a thread about it. curves…the only thing that provides curves is muscle. flab is just slopped on in a grotesque, skin stretching, chaffing, lump of shit.

My god, I would do dirty dirty things with that chick.

It would make a porn star blush.

So what if shes a little old for me, shes still under 50, thats close enough.

That’s what I’ve been thinking as I’ve read this thread. When you reach the highest level of any sport there are going to be costs. The gymnasts Sifu is holding out as an example of healthier mindset because implants are not generally done are trashing their bodies. Hence China’s desire to bring in 12-year-olds to compete.

I cringe as I watch competitive mogul skiers. WTF? They’re going to be unable to walk by the time they reach middle age. Tennis players destroy their shoulders. Runners…my God…competitive distance runners look like Holocaust victims. They, too, will pay a price with hips and knees. I would guess that 95% of runners, even fitness runners, keep a bag of peas in the freezer specifically for icing knees.

And competitive female bodybuilders have to go to extreme lows of body fat. That’s the price this sport extracts. As competitive sport costs go, this one seems relatively benign to me.

Yes it is, and yes I can be an asshole, but interesting conversations are certainly coming from this. Good reads.

Personally if I had breast implants, and they truly were just for me, as most of the people in this thread are claiming, I wouldn’t be nearly as defensive when some random guy on the internet makes a thread stating his opinion on them. Thats just me.

Breasts implants are not purely for their owner. No purely aesthetic enhancement is. I am not at all criticizing this or saying there is something wrong with it. But it’s true. People get them to feel more confident and more womanly and better about themselves. And this is fine and valid.

But the way this accomplished is looking better in clotes (and naked) for other people to see and to fulfill shared ideals of what a woman should look like. Breasts are sexual objects and aestehetic ones. If no one ever saw breasts, there would be no breast implants. Women may get them to please themselves rather than for another but the mechanism by this works is by others’ response to them or one’s own validation of satisfying a societal ideal. This is fine. It’s human nature.

I do too. I have the utmost respect for figure competitors. But I separate that in my mind from what I’m most sexually attracted to. I think most competitors are much hotter a few weeks out from competition than competition day. But you’ve got to respect the hard dieting and training it takes for these women to get those last few lbs off.

Yeah, but hey, go easy on us. Can you really blame us? Figure is supposed to be presenting an ideal physique. It’s a lot easier to feel like the women up there should epitomize what we most want to sleep with when it’s all about aesthetics rather than say a gynastics competion. So happens that the figure ideal does not perfectly correpsond in reality, but it’s an honest mistake.

I typed up a long post in response to this but then I deleted it all because I realized that Teddy Roosevelt could say it far better than me:

�??It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.�??

No…Maybe Hawaiian Tropic or Miss America, but not figure…Figure is showing what a trained version of a specific female body aesthetic standard is “supposed” to look like (vs. trained female bodybuilders. Remember, that was the root where Figure & Fitness emerged as branches, when FBB’s look changed after the McLish era)…

Good idea, we need more pics for analysis. Here’s one of the lovely Michelle on stage. Does anyone actually not find this attractive?

Or, if you prefer more the off season look, check this one out.
