Is "skinny fit" an unrealistic goal for most women?

[Toodaloo]

No it's not unrealistic, it's down to diet. It's far too boyish looking though for my preferences.

 

Anyone can get as thin as they like, but agree with Emilia... Both of these women are really thin...

 

Personally I don't ever want to be that thin. I also have wide hips and would just look like a freak. I know this as I have been there.

 

I don't think either of these women look particularly attractive to be honest. But each to their own.

[Taramere]

I admit I'm guilty of the bolded part but generally keep away from the culture as much as I can as it's very twisted. It's more the 'reddit' and body building type websites. Very different from your average bunch of people that go socialising on a Friday after work. Far too freaky too.

 

Your posts are very helpful to me, Emilia. I think you impart useful information without being boorish or preachy about it. Particularly the stuff you've taught me about doing squats the right way, and why short burst of high impact are better.

 

The squats...well, it's not necessary to embarrass oneself in a gym to do those. High impact....when you're in a hurry it's natural to have bursts of sprinting in between fast walking, which is a form of high impact exercise without really thinking about it. It's not that I steer clear of the gym altogether, but I try to make it as speedy a visit as possible.

 

I've got one practically on my doorstep, so it's a case of go in, do a basic 25 minutes or so, shower and get out. It's an okay, gym, but generally gyms aren't really enjoyable places to hang around in. It's not enjoyable in the way that going for a walk (where you're stimulated with all sorts of natural sights and sounds, and you pass the day with other people) is enjoyable..

 

with so much information bombarding you, you need to have your boundaries and separate the BS of the minority from the normality of how most people live. The noisiest are often the weirdest because they want to create this weird fantasy world and recruite lots of others into it.

 

Generally it's smart to avoid getting involved in any scene too heavily, just take a little bit from here and a little bit from there that's how you remain well rounded and this is how you attract well rounded people too.

 

Gym freaks often have no other interests and you have to wonder why...

 

Right. It's good to have an ass that's in reasonable shape, but wise to avoid getting so obsessed with the thing that one day you wake up and wonder "Hey! Where did my head go? Well how about that. It's right up my arse."

[xxoo]

It's not just about muscular women, it's about preferences, it's about options.

 

Most men aren't going to say they want a Victoria Secret model if the reality is they NEVER run into a Victoria Secret model nor would ever have a chance in the world of actually being with her.

 

For men there's a world of preference in the "real world" and then there's that other world, that "fantasy world" or porn and women online that they could never hope to get...they don't adjust their standard to that level, it's impossible for most men to attain..."average" is difficult enough for men to attain, let alone smoking hot gym girl who's so desirable being "skinny-fit" that the majority of men would lick the drops of sweat falling from her @ss.

 

But oh, the guys on "LS" and your husband or boyfriend says this....VERY CONVINCING, said no man ever. And then LS is a place of perverts and losers when they're comments are undesirable but they are suddenly a wonderful representation of the male population (all 5 of them) because they said they like the same preference as me....hmm, I wonder why a man would state his preference as flexible or adjusted to what he feels most women would approve of...hmm, rocket science there.

 

If you want to see what type of women men prefer, then simply go to theChive or to male dominated forums, where men are throwing up pictures left and right of attractive women and commenting on what they like without worrying about being outnumbered by the the hens.

 

You will not see "curvy" unless she's really "thick in the right places"...you don't see many "average" women there...you see the same girls on porn that most men wank over...even your husband and your BF, while at the same time of course...telling you he prefers something else in real life.

 

Men's "preferences" are adjusted by the "real-life-curve" once they're back to reality...I guarantee you most of the guys would not turn down "skinny-fit" girl if she approached him in real life (which she never would), but if she did, you're a damned fool if you think he's going to turn her down because she's too skinny and fit...that's just what they say on here.

 

It seems that you're agreeing with me that most men like slim and toned with curves. Check. I think most women realize this.

 

The "skinny fit" example in the op does not represent slim and toned with curves. Men prefer the chive type to the type in the op. That's my point. So if I already have the chive type of figure, why would I aim for the "skinny fit" type pictured in the op? What's the motivation for all that extra effort?

I don't believe all men would like their women to have a super hard muscular look.

In the same way all women do not want their men to look super hard and muscular either.

 

I think it may be something to do with the fact that achieving the look all seems a bit unnatural. It involves a massive amount of time spent on machines and weights in the gym, it involves protein shakes, chemicals and all sorts of supplements, it involves strict dietary regimes and it also in some cases involves taking steroidal hormones.

 

So, I guess some women just don't want an obsessive narcissus who worships his own body, and I guess many men probably feel the same about women who want to achieve super hard muscular status too.

 

WE may appreciate the work of art, but actually living with it while it pumps iron, runs marathons, pops the pills and becomes obsessive over little bumps of tissue, is a different thing all together.

That, may not be a life we envision for ourselves long term.

But the question was is it a realistic goal, and those are women's reasons why it is not. It's possible, but requires a ton of effort for a look we don't.personally prefer, so not realistic.

[thefooloftheyear]

Oh...I think pretty much all women would prefer their man to be hard and muscular over fat and pudgy..No different for men...They want their women to have a flat stomach and great tits and ass, etc...Its just thats what they wound up with and there are only so much of those folks to go around...

Myth..Achieving a "look" is natural(or not that difficult) for some...I get accused of all of the things you mentioned, despite the fact that I have an incredibly stressful life(work prob 60-70 hrs/wk), rarely sleep well, etc...I spend less time at the gym than the majority of people spend on FB or playing video games..

 

So, I guess some women just don't want an obsessive narcissus who worships his own body, and I guess many men probably feel the same about women who want to achieve super hard muscular status too.

 

Where is it written that everyone who cares about their physical appearance are Narcissists?? Did it ever occur to you that many people do it for reasons that arent about that? I use my body for work every day...I see being in shape as a way to allow me to function better at what I do daily....Im also able to play ball or other activities with my 12 year old daughter without blowing out a knee or having a heart attack...They obvious health benefits of being very fit are well documented..

 

WE may appreciate the work of art, but actually living with it while it pumps iron, runs marathons, pops the pills and becomes obsessive over little bumps of tissue, is a different thing all together.

That, may not be a life we envision for ourselves long term.

 

 

 

Fine...everyone is aware that its "not for everyone"...but to hurl accusations at those that care about how they look/feel is just simple minded...really...

 

Everyone should enjoy their lives in any way they see "fit"..

OK I touched a huge nerve there did I?

You are now taking it personal - I am now being accused of being simple minded...

 

I said "a narcissus", that is way different from Narcissistic personality disorder, but you just enjoy being offended...

 

Just because you are obviously genetically superior and you can supposedly achieve "the look" without much work and effort, doesn't mean others can too.

So the whole "fitness" industry is based on a myth is it?

NO ONE needs to work hard in the gym, there is no need for diets, no need for supplements, no need for steroids.... Yeah right!!

 

We are not talking about tightening up a bit of muscle here and a healthy diet in order to look "good".

We are talking about the regime here that resulted in an ex-model (good genes) spending her life promoting her fitness career. A woman, who no doubt works out hard every day, as it is her job, her career and how she makes her money.

 

That athletic, super hard look for most women or men is NOT realistic, due to the lack of "good genes" and also because most ordinary people with jobs and travelling and kids and family responsibilities do not have the time to concentrate purely on their own body for hours every day in a gym.

 

And as some women have intimated here, it is not a look that is coveted by women anyway.

If you actually read body fat guidelines written by medical professionals, you would know that this is not true. In fact, you are quite a bit off:

 

From emedicine: Estimating Body Fat Percentage: Healthwise Medical Information on eMedicineHealth

 

At 17% my sb looks awesome. And she has promised to stay at about 16% [no lower]. If a woman can hit 18% fat with good tone, she has the body of a supermodel. I know!

 

And the paper I posted from Penn State says there is nothing dangerous about 15% body fat in women.

[Robert Z]

And as some women have intimated here, it is not a look that is coveted by women anyway.

 

 

I had to laugh when I read this. How many times have I heard women talk about hating having sex with their big fat husbands? I guess the pool boy scenario is just in everyone's imagination, right?

 

An hour or even half an hour a day and a good diet it all that it takes. And it doesn't take dieting. It takes a healthy, sustainable diet. And it takes patience. But a healthy lifestyle for a reasonably healthy person will result in a fit body. Anyone who says otherwise is just making excuses. As indicated, if people spent a fraction of the time working out as they do on FB or watching TV, they would be Olympians.

 

I think the biggest mistake people make is in not having patience. Almost all of the negatives associated with the fitness industry get back to wanting immediate results and not being willing to do it right.

Oh yes, and the main reason people are overweight is that they eat crap and far too much of it. It has nothing to do with time at the gym.

 

You have to quit the junk food. End of story. A cheat day is fine but processed crap, microwave dinners, potato chips, Doritos, candy, soda, cake, pies... cannot be a part of a healthy diet.

 

And bread and pasta isn't a meal! It is just a bunch of beached flour. If you require that your calories are nutrient dense, you will be forced to eat good foods.

 

I would bet that 90% of those claiming weight control issues eat crap every day, and way too much of it.

 

 

Late edit: And, OMG, the amount of sugar in so-called health foods is often ridiculous. Protein bars, juices, and other quick food products geared towards health are often sugary products. Even peanut butter is bad. I buy only natural peanut butter. And I got suckered by one brand of protein bars for a time. When I changed flavors, the sugar content went way up but I didn't notice!!! Dirty trick! The other dirty dog is the yogurt covered stuff. It is LOADED with sugar. It's just more junk food. Sugar is hidden in everything from "health foods" to spaghetti sauces. You really have to watch for the hidden sugar. And from a metabolic perspective, one should treat sugar alcohols such as sucralose [splenda] as 50% sugar.

And to answer the title question, I think it IS a realistic goal for anyone, whether male or female. It's no different from any other goal it's a matter of whether you want it or not. A promotion at work? You're going to work your ass off to get it. Raising healthy kids? You're going to work your ass off for them. Maintaining a certain physique? Imagine that, it'll take work. We all have priorities and values. Find someone who shares yours.

I totally agree. The baseline answer to the question is yes, it's realistic (not sure about everyone, but many at least). The real question is whether it's a priority, because I think to get that kind of ripped body a person would have to make it one of their top priorities at least. xxoo posted a chart in a different thread about what it takes to get certain types of bodies - that pretty much says it all. If a person wants it badly enough, sure - but they may feel like the sacrifices required aren't worth it, and that's fine too (and they'd go beyond giving up fried foods of course). That's where the "find someone who shares your values" comes in.

 

I'm on the average-to-thin side, but I don't see myself ever wanting to get that ripped. When I was at my fittest (and still didn't have washboard abs) I was spending a lot more time exercising than I would want to now, with a baby and a demanding job and other friend/family commitments that I prioritise. I choose other aspects of my life, and as long as I maintain a healthy weight, I'm good. I think a lot of people are really just trying to say that: Maybe it's achievable, but not within their boundaries. I don't think that people should be condemned for not wanting to make those lifestyle choices. Doesn't make them fat. Doesn't make them unsexy. Doesn't mean they won't ever attract someone of the opposite sex. Just means that ultra-fitness isn't the most important thing to them. NBD.

My primary concern about this thread is that I imagine a teenage girl who's susceptible to developing an eating disorder reading through a thread like this, on a forum that is presented as a support forum, and having a lot of very unhealthy beliefs confirmed by what she's reading. Particularly with regard to the "desirable" fat level many are touting - which is significantly below "ideal" levels medical experts provide as guidance.

 

My godfathers' daughter died from anorexia nervosa just before Christmas last year. I can still remember her as a little girl watching me getting ready to go out as a teen, when they were staying with us. It seems like such a short time ago - and she was a perfectly normal, happy, healthy little girl. Another friend has spent a lot of her adult life as an in-patient. In both cases, these conditions were triggered by involvement in activities that demanded a low bodyweight (dance in one case, athletics in the other).

 

I mention eating disorders in a thread like this, and I get shot down. "It's a mental illness...completely detached from a discussion like this" etc. Which is BS, because eating disorders aren't uncommon (20 million women and 10 million men in the US have suffered from a clinically significant eating disorder). Those disorders are extremely common amongst young female athletes. Is it because they're mentally ill, or is it because of the pressures they're under to meet certain goals?

They might be easier to mask on the basis that "I have to be this weight for my chosen sport." Parents are probably readier to be guided by sports coaches setting rigorous standards than they would be by, for instance, a modelling scout or somebody else in the fashion industry. Everybody knows that the fashion industry is a bit f*cked up...but sport has this "healthy mind, healthy body" association which means that people can place what would ordinarily be unacceptable demands on young bodies without getting much criticism for it. Now, it's extending beyond the field of athleticism. Women who aren't athletes are expected to look like athletes (despite some female athletes have mixed feelings about the level of muscle development they have to have to meet professional requirements).

 

We're supposed to be adults. We're supposed to give responsible messages to kids...but a lot of adults now are just like overgrown teenagers themselves. Obsessed by their own bodies. Obsessed with "being ripped". Obsessed with the idea of still looking as though they're in their twenties when they hit 40. Presenting it all in the name of "good health" starts to sound weak when the ideals provided by the medical profession, as outlined in your chart, are dismissed as "too soft" or "not good enough" for ordinary women who don't model or compete in sport for a living.

As I posted previously, men and women in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s are now developing anorexia and other eating disorders. These are not people who had anorexia/eating disorders as teenagers, who have just grown up; these are new cases.

 

I believe some of the contributing factors for this worrying trend are:-

The culture of fat shaming anyone who has any noticeable fat at all.

The concept of the "perfect" ripped/athletic body with very low fat %s being the norm.

The seemingly endless pursuit of youth in todays culture.

Obesity rates are rising. So are rates of anorexia. It's two sides of the same coin - and it involves people having an unhealthy relationship with food and their own bodies.

 

Is 18% fat unrealistic for a woman? Well, not physically - but whether it's possible for a woman to get down to and maintain that level without developing an unhealthy preoccupation with it is an entirely different matter. What's being hammered home by some posters on this thread is that the "ideal percentages" promoted by medical practitioners are unattractive. Well, in culture where that sort of thinking is considered okay - of course you're going to get an increase of people at both extremes. If "normal" isn't attractive any more, a small proportion of people will devote themselves to becoming underfat (by medical standards) and a greater proportion will just stop bothering altogether.

 

Which is why I question how committed people really are towards trying to reduce obesity...or if fat shaming is just a bit of a sport really. Because if people were genuinely concerned about obesity, I think they would focus on promoting medically healthy ideals that aren't just realistic but that are the natural outcome of a lifestyle that contains a healthy but not overly restrictive diet and is reasonably active.

Some pics, she is even more shredded. Some pic's, she's not. One thing to note though is she has pretty wide shoulders for a girl.

 

I live in the USA, home of the fattest people in the world. I have multiple gym memberships, cause working out is important to me and I like changing it up. There are plenty of women around my area (California) that are in Emily Skye's kinda shape or damn near. They are not fitness models.

 

If you're concerned about triggering anorexia in little girls, you should promote working out towards a body like Emily Skye as you will absolutely not get there without eating.
