AND, has anyone else noticed how the greater majority of women never see themselves as individuals. They're always lumping themself into one huge easily identifiable group. And always trying to emulate or BE someone else. Never themselves.
I also said, "greater majority" since I believe most female athletes don't have this problem. They're already very comfortable with their abilities, limitations, etc.
Generally, women would look MUCH BETTER with the addition of 5-10lbs of LBM. All in all, women have just gotta get it out of their heads that weight training is JUST for appearance sakes. More importantly, it's about empowerment. A physically and mentally strong woman is a damn sexy woman. Period.
Lots of good points Spatts. I was with a girl for 2.5 years that was the epitomy of jealous and clingy. At least twice she cut her arms up because I talked with another girl at a party. She faked pregnancy when she thought I was going to brake up with her. She got a huge tattoo on her back of two dragons that represented her and I. Every female anywhere within sight was the enemy to her. I was young and real dumb, so there went almost three years.
....However, in her eyes(maybe I was drooling or something) she just saw me going on and on about some hardbody brunette. She didn't react exactly as I'd hoped. In the last couple days she's brought it up a couple times in a "well I'm sorry I'm not as good as that internet girl" way. You women are simply impossible ......sigh....
see i did it the smart way. i just mentioned that there would be a very strong woman at Bfolds training day....... so then my wife got to meet spatts, and she talks about her more than i do.
