Bringing FBB's back!
I've been looking around in the forums, and it came to mind... There really isn't much out there to appreciate FBB's. Everything you find in magazines is figure, fitness, and now bikini. You don't see BB's getting sponsorships with magazines and supplements contracts. I believe FBB's can be very popular, like back in the day. There are many beautiful women bodybuilders out there. Who would be interested in a magazine towards Female Bodybuilders? They were very popular then. Why, in your opinion, you think the popularity for FBB's has died down? And what can help bring us back?
(Don't kill me if it's already been asked before, be nice!)

Usually it comes down to the fuckability factor. Men don't see fbbers as sexually attractive and rather than actually judge them on ..oh, I dunno....bodybuilding...they are judged on fuckability. Since they are not seen as fuckable, no one is interested. Do we judge men that way? No. But obviously, in bodybuilding there is a double standard.
This is an age old arguement thaqt comes up every couple of months. Nothing is ever solved. Do a search for "femininity" and you'll find tons of posts about why FBBing is dying and what to do about it.You guys with the huge sponsor ads in your signatures make reading the forums annoying.

^^Exactly my point. Most are training legs so we get to see lying leg curls over and over.

Right, but so many are very beautiful. I just don't get it. They have tons of fans, yet you can't find them in magazines.

Most of the women you will find on iron asylum are "the hot girls". Agreed, Dave is doing the best he can to be fair.

Muscle mags are made for men. So it's all about male bbing. Most of the time the only women you see in the mags are skinny, no muscle, big boob, eyecandy chickies for the men to drool over. That is once they get through drooling over Markus Ruhl's glutes.

I think the problem is this whole making it marketable thing. That's an American thing and is based on the people driving the sport being all about money not the sport. Tie that in with all contests being run by promoters instead of a sporting body like other sports really just screws the whole thing up.
Can anyone name me one other amateur sport that's run by promoters?

i think fbb is just as important as the men..Honestly the amount of prize money they get is laughable they make the same sacrifices us men do to dial in the conditioning some even take it to further extremes by using male hormones an other aas the least they could do is get some respect for it.. Their should be Q AND A in the bb magazines for more than just the men and maybe even an all female bb magazine and dvds the works i would surelly check them out.. i like bb as a whole everything about it men women the whole sport itself is what got me into it from the jump..Its just the wig wearin thick jawed women that have spoiled some of the way we have viewed fbb but still much respect for them too for livin out their dreams as well
