100% reality. Even facial filters are a turn-off for me. (125, 55.3%)
Facial filters are acceptable but anything beyond that is not. (27, 11.9%)
I don't mind touch-ups to her body as long as it's not noticeable. (23, 10.2%)
Screw AI, I prefer good old-fashioned hand-drawn (or digital) art. (17, 7.5%)
I love AI art so much that it doesn't matter whether it looks real or not. (9, 4.0%)
I prefer AI-generated images, as long as they look real enough. (9, 4.0%)
I prefer AI-generated images that are a little bit unrealistic. (6, 2.7%)
I actually prefer morphed images, as long as they're done well enough. (6, 2.7%)
I don't mind more obvious morphs, like enlargement of her muscles, even if it is noticeable. (4, 1.8%)
I prefer morphed images and the quality of the morph doesn't matter that much to me. (0, 0.0%)

Where does your "sweet spot" lie between fantasy and reality?

When you're looking at images, how much does it need to be grounded in reality? Can it be manipulated in any way?

If any of it is AI, I don't watch it. Not interested in fake women.

ZERO AI. It's all bullshit. The whole point of fitness girls is the work they've put in to build that body. It's fucking stupid.

I prefer reality, but I don' t mind if bit of AI is used to fix up otherwise crappy photos. Long before AI existed, we used other methods in the dark room the correct poor exposure, etc. I would much rather see good images than poor, grainy cellphone pics any day.

Although newer cellphones produce quite good photos. :)

I should have probably included an option for "I prefer real women, but I also don't mind AI-generated images if they're realistic enough."

I’m all or nothing on this. If you’re taking a photo, let it be a pure photo. If you’re generating with ai, go all out and do what a photo can’t.

It’s the deceptive middle ground that bothers me.

I don't really feel represented in the options. I like AI generated imagery, especially videos, but I definitely don't prefer them to pics/vids of real women. Shout out The MuscleVerse (Instagram).

I have mixed feelings about morphs. Morphs presented as real are a no. Morphs presented as morphs are sometimes fun to look at, though I can't help feeling it's disrespectful to the edited women, as if they and their hard work are not enough in reality. I whole-heartedly enjoy face replacements, where a celebrity's face is photoshopped or deepfaked onto a fitting FBB, like "What if Natalie Portman was jacked?" Shout out bliaha (DeviantArt).

In pics posted to socials, I don't want any filters et cetera. I begrudgingly allow that touch ups have a place in studio shoots, that's it. I rejoice when I find pics of with little to no makeup. I like seeing what women actually look like.

Needs to be 100% real with no filters at all or 100% AI, no in-betweens.

I draw line in cuckoldry fetish. I enjoy the fantasy but certainly can't take it in reality.

It's hard to choose I mostly like ai for things that are impossible in real life like lifting cars overhead and other super human feats of strength. or to make muscular versions of characters that aren't muscular at all. like I found a sexy comic and I used the ai to make the characters super strong. Or scenes from my favorite old movies.

but there is a certain fakeness to it that is easy to spot so pictures of real ones still have an appeal. and I can't choose it depends on my mood. I also like the idea of them existing in real life and there being a small chance of meeting them or similar looking women. while ai is just like hentai

The thing is, most of us wouldn't have a chance to date a very muscular woman, not as "average" or worse physique. So, it's pretty much ALL fantasy for a good lot of us...

I like everything from fan art and comic strips, through AI and real unaltered images. But I would say it is always good to know what it is that you are looking at and with the advent of AI this is going to get more and more difficult.

The frustrating thing is AI even exists. Back in the day, and I'm old as fuck, but when i saw someone like Cori Nadine it was without a doubt one of the hottest women I'd ever seen. Now it's just unfortunate there's a chance of computer altering. Just my opinion, but I don't think all technology is good

I don't fantasize about cartoon women, and I view AI clips/pics as cartoons

You're absolutely right. It's not hot and it's a fucking joke

Have you heard about something called hentai 😉. I know a couple of guys who like that lol.

I chose AI art because, since I don’t have the chance to meet muscular women in real life, creating what I want on DeviantArt is a kind of compensation. It keeps me away from sadness or frustration.

Of course, I would have preferred to meet — maybe even date — real muscular women, but I am naturally shy and not very outgoing, so I never really managed to give myself that chance.

My DeviantArt page is the perfect reflection of what makes me dream, and what I want to share with others.

For me it's not about not being able to meet strong women but to imagine what super human women would be like. but I also like the real ones they are a lot stronger than me anyway. but I enjoy both the realistic and the unrealistic. Some people here lack imagination and only enjoy stuff that they can do in person. sometimes they don't even believe some things that have happened in real life but it's rare

Aug 28, 2025 - permalink

As realistic as it gets is the best. I don't get the attraction in AI, art or crazy morphs. It's just even more far-fetched when very muscular women aren't common, to begin with.

Bodies enhanced via gear, plastic surgery, a little Photoshop... Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference. I generally like things in the realm of reality, but pushing boundaries is part of the appeal.

Aug 28, 2025 - permalink

I feel like it's a distinction without a difference. Few of the woman featured on the site are "real" in the sense that they haven't been artificially enhanced (via PEDs or surgery) in some way. Since I doubt many users will have the chance to touch Natalia Kovaleva (or insert GWM of choice), it's all illusionary anyway.

AI feels deceptive, I think we prefer a world that isn't trying to manipulate us. But AI is getting to a point it's hard to tell the difference. When it gets indistinguishable from reality, what then is the meaningful difference between looking at artificially rendered women and artificially enhanced women? In neither case is it a person that will exist in our personal lives. In a way, would it not be more ethical to use AI if it meant a real person wasn't taking drugs?

While I would prefer a real person with minimal digital editing, I think we are getting a point we won't know or care.

In less than five years we won't know or be able to identify the difference, so better be used to.

None of the above.

It depends on the context. If someone tries to push manipulated stuff as real that's an absolute no-no. There is no it's "just" a face filter, bro. I loathe face filters, even airbrushing by photographers. It creates an unrealistic image that can and will cause body image issues in some people. I also think that it is the small imperfections that make people desirable, not perfection. Perfect is boring.

But I love AI, it is possible to make your wildest fantasies come alive at a push of a button while knowing nobody nobody injected diabolical amounts of life changing drugs into their body to get those results.

I know this sounds contradictory but I love impossibly muscular AI art that looks realistic. What I mean by that is anatomical correctness, the shape and movements of the muscles. unfortunately due to the low barrier to entry most AI content is awful unrealistic slop. When I create musclegirl art, whether it is by AI or more traditional means, I go out of my way to add imperfections.

Scary times. There will be bots running ai generated accounts that we are just not going to be able to tell the difference of. Some of us are going to love it, others will hate it.

For example, the money generated on onlyfans will be able to be exploited by bot/ai accounts to pass as real, with all the custom photos and videos etc.. and generate significant income for those that run the accounts.

The future is looking scary and kind of exciting simultaneously.
