who to look like?

[Temple]

On another note-
Let me understand something- If my goals are not to be less than 10% body fat and I cannot make a choice who I think is attractive I shouldn’t be here?

Kel, absolutely that is not what anyone is saying. Personally I will never go below 12% and I will never have the kind of mass that some of these women carry. The problem here is the disrespect that is being shown to some of the top level competitors. To say that she has a great body but her face is ugly is no compliment. It is no different than saying to someone "your face is gorgeous, too bad your ass is so fat". Even though we do not have the same goals as the competitors if we are going to play on a BB board then we had better show respect for their accomplishments.

Kel - I am with you. I have always found more exotic looking women much more appealing, but that doesn't mean that I would say that a woman is UGLY because I don't find her to be DROP DEAD GORGEOUS.

And I also echo Mrs Guns' sentiments. This has VERY LITTLE to do with what I personally find visually appealing and EVERYTHING to do with people (especially MEN) cutting women down.

Everyone is welcome here... If I personally go off there is A GOOD REASON. I know that I should use a bit more restraint at times, but I am human too. Just because I am a mod that does not automatically mean that I will not slam some ass if I feel it needs slammin. If I am wrong, I am THE FIRST to bow my head and admit to it.

A wise person once said, "Do you want to be right, or do you want to be happy?"

I don't care about being right...

You did it again T - You put my EXACT thoughts into words.

Ok after it took me 2 fuckin hours to read this damn thread......this thing has gone way off topic...opinions are just like assholes and everyones got one...to each their own...we are different...like different things etc...YOU CAN NOT PLEASE EVERYONE....I will say pictures do not do a lot of women justice...Ive taken several bad ones in my days...and when you are dieted down to below 10% your face is going to be thin and look hard..you are depleted and contest shape...no one looks like a beauty queen then...that is just how it is...I agree w/ Lobo...add a few lbs and some bf and its a whole different story...i know i look different.

I personally think Heather Lee is amazing....not only her body but I think she has a pretty face...make up and photographers do not bring out the best in everyone all the time...but I truly do not think her pics look bad in the first place...but to those that are more critical...take into consideration their body fat etc...what would britaney spears look like at 8% bf??? Ok rest my case...

We are all on her striving for our own personal goals...heading somewhere..not all going the same distance but we all have fitness in mind...we are here to support each other...we dont support starving women and the quick fix methods...and we welcome all newbies...yes we get tired of questions but if you are trying and putting honest effort..i am willing to help anyone i can...i dont like bull shit posts and laziness...if you are afraid to post..im sorry to hear that..but please this is on the internet...get some balls and voice your opinion and ask your freakin question...it scares me how you deal in the real world outside of here.....you gotta put some emotions aside and not get so worked up over things...you cant please everyone and someone will always find something wrong with you or dislike you...wherever you go..so get used to it.

I do not like anyone putting muscular chics down...we dont put down the male bodybuilders and this is a womans board...so no women bashing......this is not the forum to do it in...k

WOW...This thread is getting big!

 

[sheez_ripped]

Guys...look...i understand what NYM is trying to say....

and I agree....yes...one can admire the pro heavyweight women in their dedication and what they have achieved with their physiques....but few women want to look like them....not in any disrespect....just not the way most women want to look...

and as for the faces....they change....and it IS FROM AAS or growth hormone....


i offer this example....


here is andrulla blanchette when she was first starting out....

 

[sheez_ripped]

and how she is today....

this has nothing to do with bodyfat....

 

[Iron God]

SO in Andrulla case she is OK looking facially nothing has changed. But since we have so many willing experts on this board. Why doesn't one of you explain to me the science behind this facially altering sport we call body building.

So what causes these girls to go from High school beauty queens to Male queens?

Like we dont know the answer to that?

And its NOT sub 10% bodyfat, trust me on that one...i know plenty of natural chics who compete and are sub 10%, and YES their faces are "harder" when that lean, no arguing there....but NOT manly like the girls on drugs. and back to MY original question...at what point do these ladies draw the line (if they even do) as to when they decide that achieving a phenominal body at the expense of their face, is worth it?
