Arms? Do you find shapely ones attractive on both genders?

I can't ride in a convertible wearing a sleeveless top 'cause the flapping of my "upper arm dangles" sounds like a motor scooter is passing by......

jujube, It takes a hell of a woman to admit something like that on the internet!
I'm pretty impressed with your courage!

When I started this thread, this isn’t what I was talking about. What I’ve discovered as I’m aging is the loose skin under the arms. With some minor light weight lifting, arms can become more toned.
I don’t like the look of women body builders. Dancers or swimmers have longer, less defined muscles like so.

Climbers also tend to have muscles like the ones you shared images of.
 
I'm probably going to get chastised for writing this, but I find heavy men and women that have 3 or more inches of flab hanging off of their arms to be very unattractive. I'm not saying that every man has to be a Chuck Norris, or that every woman has to be a Raquel Welch, but they don't have to be a candidate to be on the show, "My 600 pound Life," either.

I realize that some people can't control their weight due to a health issue and that's perfectly understandable, however, those people are in the minority. I think if people would take better care of themselves, we all would benefit from that in one way or another. The idea is to keep your weight proportionate to your height. By keeping an eye on our BMI, it will happen with nothing else to do.
 
Over-torqued arms like the opening picture on this thread look deformed to me. Women with over-torqued arms also look unattractive. Unless we exercise our arms some, both genders end up with angel-wings. It doesn't matter as long as we can still do the things we need and want to do. So I try to keep myself in good enough shape to do that. Anyone who doesn't like me because of what I look like is not worth bothering with.
 
I watched a few minutes of a body building competition from Las Vegas on ESPN years back. I think they met their goals in body building, but it's not a body that I would want. The women looked beastly. Like something went wrong with their genetics system. From the waist up, the men looked OK and what you would expect from a body builder, but the bottom half looked like they didn't put as much time in developing the bottom half as they did the top half.

I had a friend that started getting into doing body building. After maybe 3 years, he gave it up. Body building is not a part time thing. It's an everyday thing and you have to put hours per day into it. No thanks.
