    The reason you don't see many buff women is that we're told "You don't want to look bulky" and thus all the exercises we're taught are slimming exercises explicitly designed to not make us buff looking.

      Yeah it’s fucking absurd, spoiler alert; buff women are hot as hell. Jacked dudes are hot as hell. Shredded enbies are hot as hell. Being massive is fucking hot.

      I once got in a conversation with a very small, very skinny friend of mine about excessive and diet and stuff, and I remember her saying, and I quote “I don’t want to work out too much and accidentally get muscles” and it’s like bruh, that’s not how this works, that’s not how any of this works. She also said that she doesn’t eat protein because it “makes me sick,” which is just... all kinds of concerning.

      Societal standards are really a fuck...

        I wish I could accidentally work out and get [visible] muscles.

        I assume she meant visible.

          She was actually afraid of growing new mutant muscles on her skeleton.
