'Muscle Mommy' Claps Back At Men Who Say They Won't Date Her Because She's Too 'Muscular'

Particularly since the pandemic, self-care and exercise have been rising trends on social media. Among the trends has been a new wave of women weight-lifting for muscular gains, as well as gains in confidence and mental health.

Unfortunately, some people haven't gotten behind the idea of women weight-lifting, insisting that women will get "too bulky."


But one TikToker, who goes by "Muscle Mommy," decided she didn't care about the perspective of those who saw weight-lifting as a negative for women.

Muscle Mommy regularly posted on her TikTok account, demonstrating her muscular gains, like in this one:

In this particular video, Muscle Mommy can be seen posing in a gym setting, modeling her well-defined biceps, triceps, shoulders, and thighs. It was clear from this video and others like it that this TikToker wasn't one to skip leg day.

While many people admired her videos, there were those who felt the need to point out their distaste and the fact that they didn't find her body type to be attractive.

Eventually, Muscle Mommy posted a video that responded to a common critique:

"You're pretty, but I don't like muscular girls."

Holding her hands together in the shape of a heart, she slowly separated her hands to indicate a breaking heart, before flipping the camera off with both hands.

No matter how frequent they might be, Muscle Mommy clearly did not care about such negative comments.

Others theorized that such negative comments were made as a form of deflection and insecurity.

We're absolutely all allowed to have preferences and traits that we find attractive, especially when we're thinking about opening ourselves up to dating. However, whatever our preferences are, those should remain private, and they absolutely should not be used as a tool to degrade and tear down someone else's image.

Body positivity begins with self-expression, self-love, and inclusion, and it can only win if people are allowed to do what makes them happiest and healthiest, whether or not it makes them the most attractive candidate to every other person watching.

HGTV Stars Respond To Backlash From Christian Fans For Casting Same-Sex Couple In Their New Series

Back in 2016, home renovation and lifestyle power couple Joanna and Chip Gaines faced accusations of anti-LGBTQ+ bigotry. The criticism stemmed from their attendance at a Waco, Texas church that preached against LGBTQ+ equality and basic human rights.

At the time, the couple owned and operated Magnolia Homes, a remodeling and design business in Waco, Texas, and their HGTV program Fixer Upper was a hit. After the show ended in 2018, the couple created their own Magnolia Network in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery in 2020 to create original content and air other home and lifestyle programs.

Joe Biden Calls Out 'Liar' Trump Over His Claims About Biden's Use Of Autopen For Pardons

Speaking to The New York Times, former President Joe Biden called President Donald Trump a "liar" over claims that Biden's pardons are "void" because they were done by autopen, a conspiracy theory heavily promoted by Republicans who've already suggested many times that Biden was not mentally fit while in office.

In the final hours of his presidency, Biden issued a series of preemptive pardons, including ones for his relatives, all members of the House committee that investigated the January 6 attack—such as former Congresswoman Liz Cheney—and several of Trump’s most prominent adversaries, including General Mark Milley and Dr. Anthony Fauci.

South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace was fact-checked by an X Community Note after she tried to praise President Donald Trump for "rebuilding" the country, when she herself voted against President Biden's 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA).
