What's the psychology behind liking "girl next door" muscle girls only

Aug 08, 2022 - permalink

I do not like Female Body Builders. I'm only into girl next door muscle. In fact, some girls I was once into have gotten "too bulky" despite not even being a full on muscle woman.

What explains this? Any thoughts?

To me, it's the surprise factor. When a woman works out and gets lean, she can look really normal and almost average, and then when she flexes, LOOK OUT! Muscles popping up out of nowhere. Plus women like that look more feminine and graceful while also having muscles that are visually exciting.

That makes sense hardcore fbbs look very different from most women so many men won't find them attractive

but most men will like hard body fitness models that just have nice abs and big calves but are not huge i personally like big muscular women but i know most guys don't like biceps on women

because most women don't have good biceps so it doesn't make sense to be attracted to that but people like me are attracted to the strongest women because we are just different for complex reasons.

This might not be the best explanation, it can be very hard to explains to casual people. I am in no way trying de humanize muscles women, but I compare it to the feeling people get around exotic animals: such as tigers. Some people like the feeling of being near such animals because it gives them a certain thrill. I feel like an attraction to muscle women relates to those same feelings. You love this feeling of power, and power over yourself.

Imho, it's the usual matter of aesthetics and its excesses: be it muscle, leanness, bodyfat, tattoos, jewelry, makeup, surgeries...you name it. A bit of each may be pleasing to the eye, but taking it too far can overtake the whole image. Professional fbbs tend to exceed not only in the muscle mass department, but also in low bodyfat, vascularity, etc., especially when they are prepping for a competition. And the resulting overall image may not be exactly for everybody.

There's a certain appeal in the "girl next door" muscle looks. Perhaps it's the suggestion (or mental image + our fantasies), that they're building muscle just for themselves in an amateur sense, or aren't thinking about competing "but they may consider it someday"...or perhaps they haven't given it a second thought and muscles came just because of other activities. It can also be paired with no fake tan, clumsiness when posing/flexing, and genuine surprise when they actually take a good look at how they're built....again, fantasy is a big deal here.

See for me it's if they still look feminine in the face. A lady can be big but still have ladylike features and be hot. I know it's an unpopular opinion with some here but when a lady is juiced up and has a deep voice and lost the softness to their looks it's a turn off for me personally.

I like that they are cute and feminine, but also very in shape. The contrast and the general markers for superior fitness make them appealing to me. I also think it comes from the general aspect of seeming like someone that is attainable. I treat FBBs and other athletes like Hollywood stars in my head, but girls next door have the appeal of being someone I can hangout with and relate to.

My very favorite is Veronica Valentyne. How do most of you feel about her? That rock-hard look with every detail defined and muscles that are obviously well trained to exceed their natural state, with interesting muscle structure revealed by a woman in super-lean condition, yet still of normal size--that really turns me on!

I'm not sure how Veronica Valentyne is a "girl-next-door".

Too buff, eh? I think of her that way because she is all natural and not too big.

She's extremely shredded like a bodybuilder on show day.

This is true. Such definition!

I guess I would say I prefer girl next door types, though I enjoy looking at more hardcore also. Just not into the unnatural, juiced up look, where feminine beauty and proportions are left behind. My wife is naturally lean and muscular, as a result of great genes, a clean diet, and moderate training. (though she would prefer to be called "fit" and "toned" over muscular). That's just what I'm attracted to and don't put much thought into it otherwise. I'm guessing the cave man probably looked for a fit mate, to be able to withstand the challenges of life and raising children, though one that was not so strong she did not rely on the man to help protect her and the family. That probably influences our preferences today. And maybe, smaller cavemen preferred bigger and stronger-type women, to produce bigger and stronger offspring?

Is it perhaps that they seem more accessible to the subconscious mind? Like, maybe you wouldn’t necessarily be able to hook up with a girl next door type but it’s more plausible? Plus you’re likely to see a gnd type anywhere, but it’s very unlikely to actually run into an fbb in “the wild”

Good thought about the man wanting to be the protector!

Is this a relatively recent development or have you always been like this?

My two cents

It is the attainability factor. What chance do you have with a girl you see on the internet? One in a million

But a girl next door? Your chances are considerably higher. That's why I think they are more desirable than someone from Instagram

It is the attainability factor.

What if you imagined this was reversed? For me it would still be the girl next door.

If anyone would ask reasons for this I'd say it's because the girl next door has a nicer, more healthy and more stable relationship with her body.

I 100% agree. I made a thread somewhat related
