'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.

Some responded directly to the statement about muscular girls that Muscle Mommy was refuting.

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.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
