I don’t really care either one, unless they are somehow furthering or hindering human progress on an ethical level.

Having that on the ‘boob’ tube definitely increased the ‘help me to forget I ever saw that’ liquor sales.

Women ARE more physically vulnerable, and after experiences of violence or threats from men, I could see why a fearful vulnerable feeling woman may want to bulk up.

Low self esteem with type A obsessive behavior. I was friends with a very bright funny actor who was also a muscle head. He was “ordered” by his agent to “normalize” some. You could see his increasing fear and vulnerability as he lost his muscle mass. It had become his armor and now he was his naked self. A real good guy btw, and NOT narcissistic. And after a while, being known for your size and muscle eventually becomes a false identity. And when you lose muscle, you lose identity.

I can’t see how being that obsessed with anything is healthy.

I’ve got friends who do 100 mile races, which is getting close to addictive. However, they just look like they are in good condition. I photograph these races and I’m always amazed at the wide variety of body types you see out there:

I only run marathons; it’s hard enough to be challenging and it keeps you in pretty good shape (allied with cross-training).
