Why don't women lift?

Why would I be mad? Don't start making yourself look like an idiot by trolling.

Girls aren't bitter about being skinny fat, they generally think that's the ideal. They don't lift because the idea to do so would never occur to them. It's not something they just can't be bothered to do.

OP started lifting weights a few months ago and now thinks that he knows everything about it. He's also of the opinion that girls who don't like 'big' guys probably think that way as they're insecure and that girls who don't want to look like the pictures in the op must be jealous, bitter etc

They think it's the ideal because they can jump on a treadmill and be like "tee hee I'm hitting the gym and getting fit", not because they look good after their regime. Hence why alot of them continue to moan about their own figure, and why their react all defensive and bitchy when they see a woman is lean and athletic and looks amazing.

Girls just go too far with dieting and cardio, end of. .

All of these things are true and your need to post this is strong proof of it. Please go.

Seriously, why don't they?

It seems to me that they're always banging on about "losing weight", even when they're underweight. Why do we keep hearing stories about young girls with eating disorders or reading idiotic facebook statuses about "feeling guilty" after eating a chocolate bar, even though their body was probably heavily catabolic and borderline Auschwitz-mode.

And why do they think that "losing weight" automatically means "look good". Why do they always talk about dress sizes and other irrelevant numbers instead of getting under a ****ing bar and squatting. Have most women ever seen pictures of a woman who lifts?






Notice that she doesn't have deeply cut muscles or much bulk? But she's lean and tight. She looks athletic and sexy. She'd be awesome in bed as well, I'd wager, purely because her lifestyle suggests that she has high energy and squats give the hip-thrust an extra "umph". Yes, my friend.

What are the so-called alternative girls are going for? Well they either diet themselves to this size and cover a flabby physique with flattering clothes or they just sit around declaring weights "not for them" whilst paradoxically wishing they had a physique like the woman in the attachment pictures.

And don't get me started on crash diets (special k lulz). Anyone who still gets sucked in by them after they seen what happened the first time clearlyneeds help.

If girls genuinely thought the pictures you posted were their ideal, then they'd work out accordingly. Just like men do.

If not, then you're suggesting that girls know their ideal requires weightlifting but the entire female population (bar a few) is just too inherently lazy to bother?

And there we have, Dark Horse thinks he knows everything about lifting

I'm just glad I am not corrupted by the media, a little bit like what you seem to be, and I don't need to 'lift'...

And "She'd be awesome in bed as well, I'd wager, purely because her lifestyle suggests that she has high energy and squats give the hip-thrust an extra "umph". Yes, my friend. " is a pure opinion 'friend'. I think you will find scientists have said that women with a bit more 'flab', as you put it, around certain areas is more sexually attractive to the general male population as in terms of reproduction, and more likely to have long relationships with.

Skinny fat isn't feminine, imo.

She might not be the best example, because she seems to be an actual female bodybuilder, but I believe there is another category called "Women's Figure" where they can keep their feminine physique but still compete.
But the point is: lifting is pretty much the best way to get lean. And women somehow think starvation is.

Just puttin it out there but that is photoshopped.

Look at the bakini straps.

More fat = sexier? Bile like this has to come out to preserve the self-esteem of a predominantly overweight and unhealthy nation. But things can only get worse if this kind of rationale is in circulation.

There's too few lean women out there to role model. The pics posted in this thread are gifts to them. Gifts of inspiration. .

See, you have interpreted me saying a little shape as 'fat'. I believe that you need to look at your own views on what is sexy and what is a 'real' women etc.

I don't mean to be rude, but you seem to be a very assuming person. I believe that people shouldn't let themselves become overweight, but by no means should they have to turn out like those women in the pictures you posted on your first comment...

You may think that women don't look sexy when they are throwing up after every meal, but at the end of the day over-exercising is a very similar problem.

Another enjoyable thread. Thank you TSR.

But definitely better to have a muscular bum and legs while carrying some body fat. Do some weights, do some HIIT and eat healthily and you will look great....no extreme dieting like the ladies in the pics.

Anyway I'm off to the gym to scare females away from the weights section.

I think you might be confusing the opinion of you/misc/fitness forums with that of the majority.

Gym culture. At least in my gym hardly any women go into the areas where there are weights over 10kg DBs. Even the DBs the women rarely touch the bottom half of the rack. Rooms full of big sweaty men who perv on them can't be appealing. While every other woman is on the treadmill so that must be the place to be. So education and guys not being pervs, which is again education

Interesting contribution, my friend.

But you don't need to diet extremely to look like that. Watching what you eat and lifting weights is all you need.

And stop scaring the ladies from the weights section!!!!!!! lol
