Why are women and girls so afraid of having muscles?

They don't realise guys find it incredibly hot!

because they see women like Lenda Murray and freak out, no offense to Lenda Murray, I think she is a legend and all, but most women realise that most men would run a mile if they tried to pull a man looking as ripped and bulked as her. By the same token women don't realise that they can workout and not end up looking like Lenda Murray but instead look like Eva Martinkova or Timea Majorva, shapely muscular but most of all "feminine."....To sum it up, women are afraid that if they put on muscle they will lose their feminity thus intimidating men and driving away potential partners. I don't think this is a bad thing though as women would be just as turned off if men started having soft skin, curves and wore make up

You mean muscle definition. Well, some girls think they look unfeminine - no curves and if you look at female athletes, they usually have no boobs. Also muscle weighs more that fat, so a woman may be 70 kg and that is mainly muscle, but fashion may dictate that 50kg is the norm. Finally, the old mid-wives tale of `muscle turns to fat` not true, but once muscle is developed, but not kept toned, it looks flabby and is mistaken for fat.What an interesting question.

Afraid that men might reject them. NO one likes being rejected be man or women.Testrostone make men look muscular, when they exercise regularly with proper diet men develop muscle there are men who even after doing all tis dont develop muscle. So my lovely women you people are so beautiful no matter what dont be afraid to do things, there are always men to love, only thing is they are as confused as you are, you make them understand, we will,men misbehave with you mostly bcos he doesnt know how to behave, the best part is even you dont know how to behave with him, but you are lucky enough not to debate about all this.that a whole different topic lets not get diverted say proper cardio and light weight exercise will alwways do good to women, do exercise be healthy, have fun women,love your life all the best.

A lot of women don't want to appear masculine or "manly" because it is unnapealing to the opposite sex in most cases. Generally, females want to appear femine and delicate.

But there is nothing wrong with a girl have muscles.

I wonder the same thing! I'm a girl and I want muscles sooo bad, especially abs.

im a girl n i hav muscles n i love em..but i think they comes from trainin n cheerleadin..i wood rather hav muscle than fat..il admit im not as skinny as sum of the otha girls but im happy wiv my body bcoz i kno that i cant bcome that skinny..im probably as small as my body will allow..

Because they're afraid of looking too masculine when in reality, it doesn't even make them huge and "manly", it makes them curvier and might I say, sexier.

because most women and girls want to look

like women and girls, and having muscles

looks masculine, masculine=manly,

feminine=girly.

isn't it obvious,

i'm not a girly girl,

but i know i definatelty do not want muscles.

i suppose some women would rather look as small as possible and feel weight training would make parts of them get bigger. its a false belief though, a little bit of weight training makes you more toned and tighter
