It's a matter of sport specialization and you having a sexual preference for women and a masculine aesthetic preference formed from idolizing Golden Age and later bodybuilders. Is there any healthy-body-fat-percentage natural female physique that you don't find attractive on a well-proportioned frame and cute face? Are you more inspired by Heracles and Milo of Croton than Hermes and Pheidippides?

>cut back on gym to go running 2-3x a week
What kind of running and why are you cutting back on the gym? Just run. Most actual bodybuilders I know do some running or other steady-state cardio. If you're eating and resting enough it won't sap your gains.
