Are you really saying that someone who enjoys working out is wasting their time unless they deploy their new-found fitness on some functional activity outside of just being healthy? That doesn't seem to be a particularly reasonable view. It seems to necessitate that for any given person, if they want to look better for themselves or a sexual partner and do the work to get there (which will almost certainly make them healthier -- unless they're megadosing AAS or something), their time is a "waste" and they might as well be a fat slob simply because they don't also mountain bike, hike or some other such non-sense.
Surely, that time isn't a "waste" and a person pursuing the "toned-for-aesthetics look" (though I'm not sure precisely what that means -- people are toned or they aren't, whatever their reason for looking that way) can be doing something genuinely productive, especially given the by-products for their health associated with that pursuit.

Footballers are the best <3
Top (?) swimmers in an ad they did. Maybe NSFW.

I'm kind of surprised about how lean they look, to be honest. Most female swimmers in particular look really triangle shaped. The male swimmers look great. The ladies... are a bit too muscley for me. Their boobs kind of get lost in the muscle.

i dig the male swimmer type too. i like that really toned but not bulging muscles look. had a few guy friends back in high school who were on the swim team and they always looked great.

I think we've come to a consensus on how much muscle is good.

That woman looks fine. Bit of an ugly face, but nice body. He's better.
Also, it's fucking awesome to wake up early, with mild hangover, and having to do college stuff. FML.

I've got an enormous weakness to wet people shan don't do this to me.
at least tonight should be relaxed, just gonna go watch Prometheus (finally released here!). The 5th though is going to be some serious debauchery.

For real? Her and butterface? WHAT? She is fucking pretty!
Now, a lot of the pics Devo and others posted of muscley guys a few pages back, they're butterfaces! Especially the gladiator type guys with weird facial hair. This girl? Not at all!

Don't feel bad, man. Her face in the other pic wasn't that good. Odd angle probably.I meant in the other pic ><
I feel really bad now
If you want to apologize with some more pics of your swimmers I don't mind though.

Athletes or otherwise?
Came here to see you guys talkin 'lympics and glad to see a pic of James Magnussen up there. He is...yeah, he's very nice.
Their diving team is super cute!

totes jealous~
I know they shave their bodyhair to swim faster, but I think they can double that without the speedos.
...just saying
Swimmers seem to be a highly contested group: some seem to find them particularly unattractive, others find them most attractive of all.
I also find the preference for men's gymnastics and soccer interesting. Not because they are unattractive and oh-my-god-how-can-you-girls-like them, but because they are predominantly shorter men; gymnasts are well below average in height, while soccer players average about 5'8''-5'9'', which is at or below average depending on your nationality.
I'm sure there are some women here who honestly don't care about men's height (and that's great), but I also wanted to note that I've found shorter men can often look better on TV than do taller men because scale isn't as easy to keep track of. Similarly, a lot of leading men in Hollywood are shorter, but it's difficult to notice when the camera is zoomed or cropped in such a way that the differences in height aren't noticeable the way they would be in real life (i.e. "Oh, this guy is shorter than I am.")
In other words, I like the proportions of shorter men better (and I think many women do too), and TVs/pictures provide a perfect venue for that type of handsomeness -- the lack of scale makes their shortness no longer matter, and proportions become everything. All of this is conjecture, of course, and is entirely irrelevant if you happen to note care about men being short in the first place.

Damn, you make me want to just never step out of the house without a camera. I'm a shrimp (5'5") and I never really thought about proportions being to any advantage. I do find that there are a lot of tall guys with lanky awkwardness walking around, but hey they are still tall, they can reach that top cupboard much easier.

Those speedos are to keep their dangly bits in place, missy!

I wonder if it's just a matter of biology or if it is more of a result societal pressures. Do the women perform nearly as well as the men?
http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=how-speedo-created-swimsuit
The first time they had to wear that speedo, it took then ONE HOUR for then to be able to fully war that.
60 minutes of those men trying to wear a speedo
I think I just realized why I should be watching the Olympics

Another vote for footballers. They have the perfect bodies: lean, defined and not too bulky.
And the diving team is downright adorable.

I do have to salute your country, Shan. Your men are quite delectable. An excellent export.
Trying to sleep but not tired because I slept in.
How does GirlGAF feel about sleeping pills?

I was thinking of making a thread but how do you guys feel about the messages sent to young kids, girls especially from fairy tales and disney movies and the like? I personally am not a fan.
I feel like they setbad expectations at an early age. I'd rather kids be taught more lessons about self-respect and common decency than "finding the one" or "and they lived happily ever after." I'm not saying children have to be subjected to grim reality right away, since fairy tales are supposed to be uplifting, but I find the overall messages repeated ad nauseam to just set the ground work for disappointment and an inability to deal with the reality of relationships and life.
I think stuff like this is way better heh but I was a twisted child

Stuff like Beauty and the Beast was a tale to make French pre-pubescent girls in the 1700s bourgeoisie feel better about marrying old ass farts when they hit 14/15/16.
Didn't saw the book ... don't think there is a version on portuguese.
I think most could be worst, but yes, the message that you only be happy if you find a perfect man is very twisted.
Bu you have to remember that disney has movies like Robin Hood where the princess Kick Ass, Mulan where the main goal of the princess is kicking ass in the name of china and Fairy tales have .. well .. non princess fairy tales =P
But yeah, Little Mermaid and Sleeping Beauty are the worst ofenders, i guess

They are better, sure, but there is still a ways to go. Pixar is much better.
Well, maybe not that particular one.
Cinderella and Snow White, too. All of them are useless and need to be saved by a prince.
They're good. I had to take one last night and was feeling pretty mellow.
I was not implying that I was going to use them on women....
