Why do women bodybuilders look like men? <br /> <br />Many fit women are attractive because they have a woman's curves but with a tight stomach, butt and thighs. <br /> <br />I was asking about female body builders. <br /> <br />The top female body builders, the ones with the most muscle mass, either achieve this through having excessive testosterone naturally or taking artificial substances to get it. <br /> <br />They're taking testosterone. <br /> <br />Not all of them are, because some could have been bearded women in another life and are waxed and oiled body builders today. <br /> <br />It's still a freak show. <br /> <br />And the women who use testosterone and other hormones to build up that muscle mass risk looking more like men, such as triggering the growth of facial hair. <br /> <br />It's a pity estrogen doesn't let women build up muscle mass. <br /> <br />Their bodies are primed for a different load, babies. <br /> <br />That's sexist. <br /> <br />That's biology. Though there are studies that suggest that women are better ultra-endurance athletes because their bodies are primed to carry a load and a half for months at a time. <br /> <br />Ha-ha. Though I've heard steroids can turn a woman into a man. <br /> <br />Steroids can trigger the growth of facial hair. <br /> <br />She could even grow a beard. Oh, I can't say it. <br /> <br />No, a woman won't change her most basic anatomy. Though the hormones could cause the clit to get big. <br /> <br />That is a change of the most basic type. <br /> <br />Is that worse than the horrific acne steroids could cause? Or the increase in aggression? <br /> <br />I think that if you have to risk altering your body that much to compete with the guys, you shouldn't be doing it. <br /> <br />And then there's all the stuff the guys are taking. <br /> <br />But those hormones are already in their bodies. <br /> <br />Steroids aren't. HGH and other compounds aren't. <br /> <br />Which explains why the most extreme body builders look like each other. They are abusing their bodies with the same stuff.
