I'll agree that bodybuilders aren't very attractive to me, though I think that's got more to do with the comparative uselessness of all their mass. Female powerlifters, on the other hand? Yowza! None of that muscle is for show! Strength is sexy. Pointless hypertrophy is not.
If a male or a female has a frontal body that is so hard and firm that it looks like there are massive muscular chunks of hard meat... (on the scale of Arnold) then for me a line has been crossed
Obviously there’s a scale and a spectrum that’s hard to delineate, but if it’s crossed
It just feels really “meaty” if you get what I mean? The idea of rubbing against/getting rubbed against by that kind of a hard mass is a bit of a turn off
Yeah, that's definitely a bodybuilder physique. Powerlifters have muscle for performance, not show. They usually have a pretty healthy amount of body fat, so they don't have the "chunk of meat" look.
