What's the psychological reason why a man might be attracted to a woman with muscles?

In general, boys and girls are brought up differently.

500+ responses of everybody overthinking this.

The reason that you're attracted to muscular women is because you have good taste and common fucking sense.

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

:)

I'll just repeat; it's HEALTHY to be attracted to naturally muscular women. :)

common fucking sense.

Fails the definition and doesn't apply here.

@zark I think that was a good post. There are a few things I still don´t get though (or that gives rise to new questions)

Or, to put it short, immature men want to fall for women, period.

I don´t see this connection. An immature man has not been sufficiently succesful in the "learning process to become a mature representative of one's own gender" as you put it. But why does that imply that they would want to fall for women? If you by fall mean fall in love - is it a sign of immaturity to fall in love easily? Might be, to some extent. Younger people fall in love more easily than older. (and our culture is also quite childish in that sense - how many films and songs hasn´t there been about simple infatuation?)

Actually, let´s just start off here.

Hey, what happened with zarklephasers responses? Did you delete them yourself, zark, or a moderator?

As I said, I think that last post was really good. Now I can´t remember all of it. I mean, there is probably a problematic side to the adoration of female muscle that most guys here probably don´t want to hear. Maybe the biggest reason is that strong females don´t want to be in an alpha situation. So there is a mismatch going on.

ASAIC zark is the only one who has posted something substantial about it.

If you want to know what he said just google the questions and then cut and paste the quotes you see from known psychoanalysts. If you want it to read like a Zarkle response just add endless metaphors that are contradictory and of course use the phrases "shit talk" and "people say" and viola!

I'm coming to this party late.

Everyone is different.

For me, I simply like the shapes. I like how a muscular woman is hard all over and is completely dedicated to making that happen.

Speaking of psychology, why do some fans want to be beaten by the females?

"What's the psychological reason why a man might be attracted to a woman with muscles?" Asking the wrong question there. What's the psychological reason a man wouldn't be? Strength and good health are naturally attractive. Weakness isn't. It imperils potential offspring.

Why some people are attracted to blonde girls? Or brunettes? Or skinnies? It's a normal taste! The same with the amount of muscle mass, definition, vascularity! Even in this forum, people have their own preferences! I find "common" girls attractive too, but the muscular ones really turns me on! I've always been attracted to muscular girls! I mean, I've always find these girls beautiful, even before puberty! I've never doubted of my sexuality, i've always been certain that i am heterosexual. Some stupid people say "Muscle girls look like men" I am a man and I don't look like these girls. My father doesn't look like these girls. My brothers etc... Some others say "Men who like muscle girls are gay" Another stupid comment. I like girls with muscles! If i was gay, I would like men, not girls! One of the first times I've seen a muscle girl it was in a music videoclip "California Girls" from David Lee Roth (yes, a long time ago lol), and i was amazed by the body full of muscles, and the way she posed! That time was really difficult to find related material, just magazines, and hoping for some appearence in videoclips, cartoons and event transmissions on tv! With the internet, it became really easier to find material, and the bodybuilding gained more popularity, even among women, and that's why lots of women began training with weights and muscles became more acceptable by the society in general!

My mom had severe multiple sclerosis and I have memories of her looking so skinny and weak. When my girlfriend (who is a gym rat but far from a bodybuilder) gets on her tippytoes to put dishes back on the top shelf and her calf muscles flex and see the vascularity or when she goes to the doctor for a check-up and he chuckles about how her health is in perfect condition, there’s something very attractive about it.

Not sure why you're comparing your gf to your mother?

Perfectly understandable that he does, my mother wasn't weak per se but like most women was woefully and hopelessly ill-equipped to shield me from the violence I saw both from my dad, and from aggressive adults outside. The one positive in all that horror, is that I attribute most of my love of muscle women in particular, and muscle in general, to a striving to achieve in a future wife/gf everything my mother wasn't; it wasn't until much deeper into adulthood I deduced how healthy it was for a person to want to naturally build muscle mass.
