I don't mean to be rude, but why are so many people into women who have no muscle flexing

Nov 25, 2024 - permalink

On the subreddit "FemaleCelebrityBiceps", half the sub is women who flex but have literally zero muscle. These are ladies who could not beat the average 15 year old in arm wrestling.

I understand personal preference is what it is, but the essence of muscle is strength. So what's the point if they aren't even remotely strong?

I did a quick glance and honestly almost all the women featured there had at least some muscle.

The issue here is that I think a lot of people who visit here get a warped perspective on what is considered "muscular" on a woman. All the ladies here represent the top .01% of women and almost all of them are on PEDs. When you compare that to natty women, of course it's going to look disappointing when.

Edit: and there is nothing wrong with only being into a more "modest" amount of muscle. Someone who is a fan of Conan, Emperor, Darkthrone and Blood Countress is still just as much of a metalhead as someone who likes Metallica and Iron Maiden.

It must have been one hell of a "quick" glance.

I wasn't being hyperbolic when I said that average 15 year old boy could beat them in arm wrestling. Like it's not like some of these girls are fit but not jacked and I'm complaining. Quite literally they have no significant muscle at all.

As much as I love strength, I like sexy-looking muscle without any concern whether it's strong or not. I also LOVE flexing. The only time a flex is bad for me is when the upper arm is ridiculously shapeless and flabby. That is not what I saw on the subreddit you searched out and then shared with us here - the women were all in good shape.

I never got that either but to each his own.

I started sexualising certain poses so now I find it attractive even when non muscular women do it. but it's 1000x more intense when she has big muscles. I guess r/celebrity biceps only cares about famous women but most of them got no muscle. I don't get why people still care about that. 20 years ago I was obsessed with Jessica Simpsons calves because I didn't know any better. but when I got private internet and found out fbbs existed I quickly lost interest in celebrities

Totally agree. We had the same discussion in the german forum.

Um... you were definitely being hyperbolic, buddy. Maybe look at the fact that it says "FemaleCelebrityBiceps" will clue you in on what to expect. Here's a hint, not a lot of female celebrities are muscular. The sub even says in the 1st rule that it is a sub focused on famous female flexing biceps/arms. Nowhere in there does it say that they have to be defined arms. I know you made this post on Monday, but it couldn't have been that slow of a work day for you?

If you actually look at some of the posts, you’ll see women who couldn’t weigh more than 120 pounds flexing and there’s barely a bicep peak. There’s no way the average 15 year old boy couldn’t beat them.

To whatever extent these posts are within the rules, I’m just saying that whatever interest people have in such posts seems removed from what people on this site like. That’s their prerogative, but the difference seems enormous. If some people are interested by the idea of a completely non-muscular woman flexing, fine, but these people belong in a different bin so to speak than me.

It seems that that subreddit is just not your thing. I flipped through about 11 days worth of it, and did not see one woman whom I would describe as 'completely non-muscular', nor did I see anyone afflicted with the debilitating disease of having 'literally zero muscle'. All I saw were quite well-defined by ordinary, non-PED using standards, with the exception of Christian Serratos. I think "sleeper build" would be fair for a few of them, and others are outright jacked by normal standards. It would make more sense to compare these women to average women in their own bracket as opposed to the average 15 year old boy whose onsite test production facilities have kicked in. That said, there are quite a few that I would bet on in arm wrestling if they were matched with a random 15-year old boy in their weight class (Fareedah Aleem, Tamannah Bhatia, Getty Kehayova, Allison Hagendorf, Kristen Bell, etc.)

OP, I have a question for you. Are you legitimately asking this question in good faith because you really want to know why someone would be into that, or are you going to dismiss every answer that doesn't tell you what you want to hear? Also, what is the weird obsession with 15-year old boys beating them in armwrestling?

I like to live my life under the philosophy of "don't yuck other peoples' yum." That, and as someone who is involved in the heavy metal, tabletop gaming and fitness scenes, I witness gatekeeping and it is always lame as hell. I have never understood why so many schmoes here believe that what they find attractive in women should be the universal standard. People like what they like. Someone who likes playing Candy Crush and Tetris is still as much of a video gamer as someone who plays Hearts of Iron IV or Elden ring, someone who plays Clue and Monopoly is as much of a tabletop gamer as someone who plays On Mars or Twilight Imperium.

So let people like what they like. And maybe stop constantly thinking about 15 year olds armwrestling grown women.

Yeah, I was gonna say that OP going on about 15yr old boys is...telling

I think you just don't like my vibe, so you're seeing what you want to see, but ok.

This is just kind a low key internet meme. We all know that basically everyone occasionally has some strong opinions on things with heavy subjective elements, but when it's someone on the internet that you dislike, you make a big thing about how they can't accept differences in personal preference. That's kind of whatever to me.

You talk about "good faith", but then you bring up 15 year old boys as if they were involved in some sort of fantasy of mine. It was very clearly just a measure of strength.

Ultimately, I guess people can like what they want. But I'm surprised that "women flexing who have no strength" is actually popular. To be honest, I hate how they take up space on some websites I frequent. I personally don't like female body builders. But I can't really complain about seeing them on this site because it's just an extension of what I'm into "girl next door muscle". But with people who just like flexing women who aren't even strong, it doesn't even seem like a different level of what I like. It seems like a completely different thing that somehow, they like women putting their arms in a flex position without any notice of whether or not they have any muscle whatsoever.

That was actually the least weird part of his post.
