the venn diagram of women who have the drive and dedication to become professional bodybuilders and women who had/have the potential to be super models is very far from a circle. With that being said there are plenty of women on this site who would still be very attractive without their muscles so maybe you're not looking hard enough.
This is a matter of logic and reason. Most people have average looks, therefore most FBBs will also have average looks.
Because the Majority of people are also ugly or average looking ...
Do you consider yourself beautiful? If not do you ask people on social media why you are ugly?
Ok since you guys asked for examples, then i will show you a couple. Here is one example of what i mean when i meant average or ugly.
Besides the very good argument given by asianfitnessfan, I think it's also a matter of taste? Because for me, in the two examples you gave, I think Brittany is prettier than Melany. Other than that, yeah, for some the steroids or whether they are off season or on season play a role. There are some FBBs who have way above average beauty but before competitions they have those dried skeleton faces which you may see quite often in pictures and may contribute to the perception they are generally ugly. I'd say pick like 20 random muscular (more natural) girls from instagram, look at their off-season pictures and see how many you find pretty. Then pick 20 random regular girls, see how many you find pretty.
As paizu mentioned this might be the case in the 90s but now due to the fitness fad and Instagram there are a lot of really attractive girls with muscle. Some with beautiful faces that they can be super models.
But I do think your point is valid when we go into truly huge category. Over there I can't say there is a stand out face. I only like them because of their bodies.
Most likely it's the meds. Joezefa is a good example for me. She was a 8 in face and 7 in bod for me when she was in figure. Now with the switch to bodybuilding her face is down to 6 but her bod is now a 9. You win some, you lose some. In bodybuilding I have never seen a 9,9 or 10,10 (except maybe in morphs 😂)
P.s All beauty is subjective. My ratings will most likely be different than your ratings.
I think asain fitness girls most of them are beautiful and not ugly or average looking
I think it has a lot to do with the benefits and downsides of bodybuilding. If a woman is already beautiful, she has a lot to risk by developing serious muscles. Many people will react negatively. An average or poor looking woman though can reinvent herself and become attractive and more interesting to a sub-section of society where she wasn't before. It also seems to be that the naturally more masculine and tomboyish girls respond better to the training. Most bodybuilders had fast gains and good genetics. It's way more motivating if you build muscle quick and are stronger than other people. My ex-wife was always stronger and more muscular than other girls (she looks very feminine though) and put muscle on easily. As a result she got a ton of encouragement and quickly had other bodybuilders offering to train with her and including her in their circle.
A subjective value like beauty can't be measured objectively. You measure beauty with your feelings, and everyone's feelings are different. What one person will see as ugly, another person will see as beauty.
Which ones do you consider beautiful, and which ones are the ugly ones?
