It’s much easier(and thus, more appealing) to achieve the mediocre. People will tell themselves anything to feel better about themselves. Why do you think all the fat women talk about “mah curves” when they have tried to diet and lose weight? They accept the inevitable result of lack of hard work, dedication and a little research(seriously appalling to me that people don’t take time to do any research on any subject).[/quote]
Its not a lack of dedication or hard work. They’re just holding out for that magical pill that will make the fat melt away effortlessly. It’s coming. Just you wait and see… lol

Spot on, RX Muscle had a recent article regarding the idea that “real woman” are thought to be on the plumper side in the general population.
Sort of devalues the hard work that some girls to do to get into bikini/fitness model shape, that they aint a “real woman”.
So many fat chicks on my fb feed post shit like oh I’m just like Beyonce with my curves, naw ya aint ya whale.[/quote]
I started reading that article yesterday, but was interrupted and didn’t get to finish. So I haven’t seen if she touches on some of the things I say…
I take issue with the “real women have curves” (cough…fatrolls…cough…cough) but I’m also not exactly a fan of contest lean women from fitness photoshoots being portrayed as an attainable everyday norm either (attainable, yes. every day look, no). Both still focus on appearance and largely disregard health. Being a landwhale is not healthy, but looking like a fitness model all day every day isn’t exactly going to be healthy either (not saying its unhealthy to look “fit” but looking like you just stepped off stage is not something that I think a majority of women can do without having to make some less than healthy choices).
That “real woman” thing just needs to go away. Shouldn’t being alive and having 2 X chromosomes be enough to be a real woman? Its sad that so many people feel they need to tear others down to make themselves feel better.

I had 2 grossly obese women approach me and ask me why anyone would want to be as big as me and that it was not attractive. I responded by asking them why anyone would want to be that fat and unable to walk up stairs.
It is sad that it seems being grossly fat or out of shape is hated on less than a female toned and muscular. Muscle on women isn’t acceptable around my parts either, but the few women who I have seen lift hard and heavy look amazing. It amazes me that so many women think that if you lift heavy and hard she will instantly become a pro bodybuilder with huge amounts of muscle and rippling veins. Yeah that happens!
Watch out girls don’t lift weights or you might accidentally become huge and manly looking on accident. Since you know many males with high testosterone struggle to achieve that.[/quote]
Why do some people feel its their duty to let others know that they don’t find their physique attractive? I don’t get that at all. Good on you for being honest.
I think a lot of people don’t have respect for good old fashioned hard work. Of course there’s also the fact that muscular women go against the norm. And I think a lot of (out of shape) people are bothered by a lean, muscular woman because they prove that that body that the out of shape person has tried to attain is actually attainable. I think some people take it personally and feel like its sort of a slap in the face and a reminder of their own short comings. Jealousy.
lol. I lift and eat to be “too big” and it’s still taking years to reach that point. Some women. So logical.
