Why do Women's Fitness magazines and some Women's magazines tell women that having ripped muscles is sexy?

Asked by joscketSeper (323points) April 15th, 2010

Fitness magazines for women, women’s magazines, and Fitness videos/fitness equipment infomercials, etc. have these buff women with ripped muscles. or maybe not super buff but with super toned muscles.

From my experience in being male, and having seen how Men are, and what kind of women men like, I would think the majority of males would not find a ripped/toned women any sexy.

I just think the women who do decide to get ripped and muscled either don’t care anymore about men and just want to live for themselves( and that’s good for them if they want that) and are willing to accept the fact that they won’t be seen as attractive, or they are lesbian butch, or they live around/hang out with silmilarly athletic guys and people that would find them sexy, or something.

But anyways, I know society is changing but since I’m a guy and i don’t find ripped female’s any sexy, I would think many guys would feel the same way and yet many magazines are telling women otherwise.
