Male bodybuilders not attracted to female bodybuilders?

Sep 01, 2022 - permalink

Came across this video recently featuring Bradley Martin talks about not being attracted to muscly girls https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIaPbqm_L3g

Came across as very insecure tbh, his attitude seems quite common amongst male bodybuilders towards women are too big. I wonder why male bodybuilders are turned off by female bodybuilders despite both sharing similar goals, lifestyles?

It's his taste we all should respect each other's tastes and i hope there are also fbbs who don't like very muscular men because unfortunately that seems to be the norm there are plenty of women who don't like big male bodybuilders but since fbbs are so rare there are very few who stray off the typical things women are attracted to again that wouldn't be a big deal if there where more fbbs but they are too rare.

He doesn’t come off as insecure at all. Just gave his opinion. Hate when people think that everyone has to agree with their opinion.

It really annoys me when schmoes interpret men who aren’t attracted or into muscular women as “insecure.” While yes, there are guys who are insecure around women who are potentially stronger and more muscular than them, most of the time attraction is just that. It sounds like he just isn’t into buff women, and that’s OK.

And his attitude isn’t “common” among male bodybuilders. And onto your last point asking why a male bodybuilder wouldn’t be attracted to a female bodybuilder even though they share the same lifestyle, you can say the EXACT same thing the other way around. The majority of schmoes don’t lift and have terrible fitness, so why would they find buff women attractive?

It is part of the fantasy.

Asking why somebody is not attractated to something is simply not a good question. Attraction does not occurs due to logic, it just happens.

Thats true, not even fbb's but athletic and fit girls also. From my own experience (which isnt much) the ratio of men attracted to muscular women compared to women attracted to smaller guys is extremely high. If you combine that with the low chance that a girl is muscular the chance that a girl will be both muscular and like smaller guys is approaching zero.

I have a girl friend who is a female bodybuilder. I'm just in decent shape. Not a bodybuilder by no means. She was married to a bodybuilder but she said it didn't work because they seemed to compete against each other when it came to training, food prep and supplements. They constantly battled over both of them being bodybuilders. She is very happy with me because I dont eat like she does. I dont interfere with her, and I dont get in the way with her gym time. We sometimes workout together but I'm not as intense as she is. So she is just as happy if I just spot her and help her with her workouts. We have been together for 6 years and its been a happy 6 years for both of us.

Bradley Martin is a man with competition level muscle physique, quite famous in the industry and probably meets more FBBs in a week than most of as will meet in a decade.

His opinion matters way more than any forum member sharing his fantasies. Males like Bradley Martin are the first choice of muscular females, plus he is an insider that can point you to the reasons why living with a fitness woman is not a good choice.

Vane personalities, obsessive behaviors, hormonal outbursts and overwhelming feelings exacerbated by steroids and hunger, virilization side effects that turn all men off, rigid schedules, weird sex life, the more muscle the woman has more of the above. You keep fantasizing looking at videos and pictures of your favorite model but Brandley and the rest of the them have lived the life and know it is not worth it.

Nothing to do with insecurity, insiders knowledge offered for free.

Vain personalities. Vain personalities. The corresponding noun is vanity.

What a stupid post.

Bradley Martin is a human being with preferences. That's great, he's entitled to them. Full stop.

His opinion means absolutely nothing to anyone besides himself, though.

My mother is extremely good at overwhelming people with nonsense and made-up fears, accusations, guilt, twisted logic and wacky rationalizations.

Never heard of him.

He does not prefer a thing in his imagination, like so many do here, but his preferences are about something that exists in reality.

Ok and this is one dude, he surely hasnt dated every fbb and isnt the only one to ever be with one. Sure most of us on here have no experience to back our views up, but you are also are taking one persons experience and generalizing it to a whole group.

I was shocked and surprised by his comments. Sounded like every guy who doesn’t work out or go to the gym.

I watched another interview recently on Mark Bell’s podcast. This Fbb named Amanda Kohatsu was on there talking about her married life. She talked about how she doesn’t like being at home, doesn’t want kids, always working out, being busy with her schedule/clothing business and that’s why she gets on so well with her partner. Her husband works in medicine. I am watching this thinking there’s no way her husband feels the same way.

You don't need to date every single female bodybuilder to understand that roids have side effects.

"I wonder why male bodybuilders are turned off by female bodybuilders despite both sharing similar goals, lifestyles?"

I am certain it is not always the case. I heard that sometimes they organize ... ahem ... private parties where they get together as a group to admire each other's physical appearance. That's just a rumor I heard but I really hope it's true.

The word you are looking for is orgies. I strongly doubt the rules of engagement would be look but don't touch.

For the sake of your imagination? Or is there a chance you might be eligible to participate?

I didn't want to be too obvious ...

And, for the sake of imagination ... even if I was invited and encouraged to participate I would not because my own body is my biggest turn off. I could see the whole thing from a third person perspective and I would ruin the entire scene. It would offend my sense of aesthetics to get involved.
