I might be in the minority here, but the muscles, no matter how great, can never make up for unappealing looks - face and hair (or lack thereof) - for me personally. If I see a photo of a woman with amazing muscularity but I'm completely turned off by her face, I'm simply not attracted at all. While I can objectively appreciate the work she's put into building up her physique, I'll immediately move on. And in fact, if presented with the two options, I'd rather have a facially attractive woman with an average physique than a facially unattractive one with a muscular physique. Again, probably in the minority here with that preference. But fortunately, there are lots of muscular women who also have great faces, so it's not any kind of dilemma.
For me, when it comes to muscular women, facial beauty isn't everything. Let's take Anastasia Korableva as an example. From the opposite sex point of view she wouldn't really be considered beautiful in the traditional sense. Far too masculine in appearance and mannerisms. But I find her very attractive when you take in the whole package.
Most look at this pic and have an appreciation for the impressive physique. But not much else. A little too butch for many, if not, most muscle lovers taste.
But I love it. Because there are also times like in this clip when I think she looks very beautiful. Always loved her smile.
I’ve said it before, Korableva gets no respect from the schmoes because she doesn’t pose in lingerie or post foot pics or accede to the fetish portion of our subculture. She treats bodybuilding as a serious sport and not a fetish. All this talk about “I admire these FBB , but I wouldn’t F them” occasionally gives me the creeps. It’s literally reducing women we claim to admire to sex objects.

You shame can't men are anyone for that matter to not being sexually attracted to someone. Since we aren't in a serious relationship with them, why can't we view them thru lustful eyes? It isn't schmoes aren't respecting her but their not voicing their attraction of her since their is none.
I’ve read several posts from men on this site decrying her as “too masculine”.

B/c she is but that's her prerogative, not ours.

Well-said. Many FBBs pose nude and provocatively and some admirers lose respect for the “regular” bodybuilding poses with actual posing trunks/tops. No one wants to see respectful, clean muscle photos anymore. It’s all porned-out. Lol

I'm pretty much in the same boat. Though if a woman is right on the line, the muscles can definitely boost her score. Muscles make any woman more attractive to me, but there's only so much they can do.
But if you ask me if I'd prefer a girl with is a 9 in facial beauty but a 5 in the muscles or a 5 in facial beauty and a 9 in the muscles, that would be a tough choice for me. It might even depend which day you asked me, but I think I'd lean towards the latter. Assuming a 5 is just "average to plain".
Funny.. I thought it was because she looks like John C. Reilly.
HA! That's cold-blooded.

People still use the number rating? Ugh
Years ago I had a nice pretty girl interested in me. I ignored her in favour of a very average looking girl who had exceptional calf muscles.
I don't regret it. I still think about those calves

100% right!
Who are some muscular women that you aren't really attracted to, but their muscles make up for it?
