> they don't want to bulk up

This is probably just an excuse for not exercising. I have never seen a woman in real life who would become more attractive by losing muscle, except professional sportswomen (and there's a reasonable chance that those women are using some kind of drug to get more muscles). Actually unless you're fat free you will probably bulk down rather than bulk up.

Skinny Jessica Biel = just another actress.

Jessica Biel with muscles = hot.

I for one welcome our new amazon overlords (overladies?) and think there are worse ways to go than death by snu snu.

Agreed- indeed, some of the cutest girls I know could become more attractive still by putting on some more lean muscle. As for whether it's an excuse or not, probably a mix. It could be for many women, fashion trends are convincing them skinny is more attractive than lithe (I love that word, describes it perfectly).
