I personally don't mind watching bodybuilders. It's pretty cool.
I would date one or be one for that matter.

Just so you know and everyone else, the goal isn't to be attractive.
I think it's pretty cool, but I guess you wouldn't understand. I find that people who workout know what I mean.

I'm sorry, but it's freakish, the human body isn't meant to be tortured into a mishapen figure like that.

Yeah, it's not meant to be like that.
But, we have to thank them though. Because of bodybuilders, doctors and researchers have learned lots about the human body.

Unfortunately the number of women I've met who think if they go to the gym they will end up looking like that is frighteningly high. They don't seem to realize the excessive amount of training this will take, and likely the oodles of drugs. Even then, probably only a small percent would have such extremes possible.

I don't care who you are -- those women are hot and in shape!
EDIT -- Well, okay, there are a couple more extreme examples down that page, but the majority are hot.

The 'fitness' ones are definitely in the more attractive pile. I could do without the excessive tans though.

Ego problem? Um... how do you determine that from a video?
He's a good guy by the way, from what I know, but then again you know less. I've never seen him as an ego freak.

I hate the tans.
Anyways, I don't find them attractive either. The first couple definitely seem natural though. For the girls out there, you will never get this big even though it's natural. Too much work involved.
The introducing picture is definitely a girl. I've seen my share of female bodybuilders and males, and that is definitely a girl.

Someone who takes steroids and feels the need to look circusly big has issues. I bet he spends his free time shaving his butt to wear those undies. He looks like a freak.
He can have fun once he gets a heart attack followed by a stroke form the roids.
