In my case, it also depends on the attitude / intention. The "tee-hee, joking" flex doesn't do it for me, for example. But when the person is honestly trying to look as big / muscular as possible, her size/definition is mostly set aside. I'm telling this from personal experience, but also from many other examples I've seen here. That's why I'm always bi...complaining that classic fbb posing should be considered for every division.
Even though she isnt jacked, I LOVE the pose. Very sexy
I think a lot of people on this site suffer from confirmation bias on what constitutes “muscular” in women. On this site, you’re looking at the upper echelon of what is muscular in women, especially given that the VAST majority of ladies on the site are on PEDs. It wouldn’t surprise me if dudes here would dismiss a fit and legitimately muscular woman, or claim that they don’t lift, because they don’t look like a GWM model/athlete.
I wouldn’t find it sexy if they didn’t have any muscle at all.
Also, the more they make it “funny”, the less attractive it is. Now if you’ve got a girl with a big solid bicep, I don’t care if she makes a funny face doing it. Because she’s got the goods. But if you take a girl with skinny arms who does a flex and makes a fake bodybuilder face, that just doesn’t push my particular personal buttons.

So true Gatsby! I see so many guys here who think they need to find a bodybuilder when they haven't given athletic girls a chance. Women who run, bike, climb, etc with any consistency are way fitter than average. And forget just looking at a picture-- consider actually touching an athletic physique. Believe me, this would be a turn-on for most guys in this bubble.
(And 1323rebutu-- great clip of Ming Na Wen by the way. She works that, for sure)
I mentioned in another thread but lately I've had a pretty big shift, and aside from a few current hold outs and my old favorites, I've shifted to the very fit girl rather than average bodybuilder size. something about their sleek athleticism, like a Heather Grimes.
But there has to be some muscle there. It's why I delete a lot of photos where there are women flexing but it's like the bare minimum muscle you need to exist.

Agreed.
I'm definitely not one of those. I find it a little thrilling to see a woman with visible muscle flexing as long as there's something to see and it's not completely pathetic. She doesn't even have to lift at all or have some impressive mass. I appreciate good muscle tone. If anything, I find the "girl next door" types that surprise you with what they have more of a turn on than the overly tanned and dieted bodybuilder types.
Of course having actual muscle to go with it makes it way hotter but does anyone else just like the motion itself? For example I remember watching this movie where the main character (who pretty much had 0 muscle) did a double bicep flex and made a tough face and I just thought it was hot despite the fact that she didn't have any muscle. But then sometimes I see videos of muscular women doing things like cable curls that makes their biceps pop out the same as when they flex however it isn't as hot because they're not intentionally flexing, does anyone else feel the same way?
