Why do guys think they have to be muscle hunks to be attractive?
[Posts pictures of 5 muscle hunks]
Maybe cause most archetypical examples people can think of are going to be from Hollywood and that pushes a muscled bodytype but the reason women are attracted to them is every reason but the bodytype. Look at the descriptors again, they are all based around the vibe.
This whole thread is dudes missing the forest for the trees.
I actually 100% agree and have 0 problem with the text itself. But the selection of the men in the Venn diagram completely undermined the sentiment of the text.
This, completely. Like does Stanley Tucci have toned muscles? Idk I was too busy listening to him talking passionately about Italian food
Aren’t 3 of the 4 “Elf Princes” still known to be incredibly fit?
Same with the “depressed middle-aged dads”.
One of those dudes literally didn’t drink water for unhealthy periods of time in order to make his muscle definition stand out more on camera.
Which one, Jeremy?
Henry Cavill for The Witcher:
This schedule culminated in complete water restriction on the final two days, including the day of shooting the shirtless scenes. Cavill explained that the goal was to make his skin “sit on the muscles” for optimal visual impact, a tactic commonly used by fitness models for photo shoots.
[…]
Describing the ordeal on The Graham Norton Show, Cavill admitted the experience was intense and taxing. “By the last day, I could smell water nearby,” he joked, emphasizing just how miserable he felt. The extreme dehydration was so draining he dubbed himself “the most miserable person on the planet.”
To be fair, the 3/4 fit elves account for 2/4 middle age dads.
There is exactly one dude on that chart that doesn’t look like he regularly goes to the gym.
There are several who have posed in muscle magazines shirtless.
Is this the opposite version of “I prefer girls without makeup”?
Good catch, it seems like this is
I love everyone in the comments trying to argue what is the objectively best min-max strats of going to the gym and finding a partner, as if Pyramid Head, Bowser, and Shadow the Hedgehog aren’t always topping the “God I wish they were real” lists for women. Girls are just as horny as guys, they just don’t show it outside certain spaces due to societal constraints.
Men, what I’m saying is: get into cosplay. Thank me later.

How you gonna do my boy Shrek dirty like that, not even including him in the top 3?
Can’t believe I forgot about the glorious green King of the Swamp. Forgive me.
Shrek is love. Shrek is life.
Women are not as horny as men.
They’ve done studies. I think they worked out that men on average think about sex about 8 times as much as women on average.
Frankly the whole comparison is fucking stupid. It’s not a fucking contest.
You’ve missed the point. Women are just people, like you.
Stop putting them on a pedestal or as a prize to win by being some weird ideal or generic “what women want.” Women may not be “as horny” but they do get horny and they all have different preferences. So just do interesting shit that you enjoy and your enthusiasm for whatever it is will help more than you could imagine.
Women are people

Spontaneous thoughts of sex /= the entire spectrum of sexual desire.
They’ve done studies.
I’m not even gonna get into the sociological aspects of this, it’s a meme community.

I’ll assume you’re misremembering the study or reading an article about the study not the paper itself, because otherwise, I’d be terrified at the really bad attempt at doing science if any peer reviewed study published these words.
And until the 1900s the scientific world didn’t think women could orgasm. It was considered a fact that women only pretended to like sex to please their husbands. Women visited doctors a lot more back then because the cure for “female hysteria” was for a doctor to use a dildo on a woman.
Now, there’s a pretty well established correlation between testosterone and an increased sex drive, as trans people have reported pretty consistently that FtM HRT does often cause an increase there and MtF people tend to report the opposite. But, MtF people also often report that their sex drive comes back after a period of time and sometimes that their sex drive comes back stronger than it ever was before.
I’m not willing to trust the science (especially on what men and women think about) because there’s a real issue still with misogyny in the sciences. From doctors ignoring women when they tell them about their symptoms to deciding what is and what isn’t worth studying. We still don’t know what happens when women “ejaculate” (aka “squirt”) because there’s been practically no research. The best guess right now is that it’s actually just piss.
Love the idea that twinks aren’t also muscle hunks. You think the male body just does that? Unless you’re genetically gifted or under 21, expect to put in a lot of gym hours, because if you wanna lose serious weight without gaining muscularture you’re in for a shitton of cardio and dieting.
If you eat a lot of protein and keep carbs low it really helps. I’m on hormones and transfem and I’m still way stronger than most men even as I have lost a lot of mass in my arms and shoulders. A lot of strength is in your nervous system as well. Learning to move heavy stuff without pain or damaging your body sort of unlocks your nervous systems ability to use more muscle fiber at once. It’s trying to protect you but as you train and also love your body and treat it well, it learns to trust you more. Most people tell you to train hard but that is horrible advice in my opinion. You actually want to train and also learn to not damage your body at all, even a little, while you are doing physically hard things.
Congrats to Markiplier for being the perfect guy apparently
I’m cis male and even I think he’s a hunk
Hey man, I’m just working out to make the little voice that tells me to kms shut the fuck up.
If you like metal Hatebreed has a lot of motivational songs, maybe you can find some new workout tracks.
That’s veeery hunky of you 😍
Why is markiplier in the middle
Actually it makes so much sense
The ven diagram gods decreed it.
Markiplier is kind of a muscle hunk though
Man is THE muscle hunk.
Henry Cavill.
Look at women’s reaction to him, and tell us we’re wrong for wanting to include physical stature into our personal goals.
So okay, maybe a Schwartzenegger physique is too much. IMO, it always was. But Cavill has a moderately achievable physique that brings out the fangirls in droves.
And there are plenty of other swole actors who do the same. Hugh Jackman, for one. Sam Worthington. Vin Diesel. And I could drop hundreds of names, here.
The point isn’t “a lot of women dont react to hot men” but “you do not need to be very physically strong-looking to get a girlfriend.”
I’ve seen a person I found very attractive before, I’m sure. That doesn’t mean I’m only going to date that person.
That being said, sure, being physically attractive makes you more attractive. No argument here or from the meme.
What a great example!
Guys think he’s hotter than women do, and steroids have definitely ruined public perception of achievable physiques if you look at him say “yeah I could do that”
Henry Cavill. Look at women’s reaction to him, and tell us we’re wrong for wanting to include physical stature into our personal goals.
Most women I personally know actually aren’t that attracted to Henry Cavill. It’s the dudes that think he’s the perfect specimen.
If I talked about a woman the way I have heard women talk about Mr. Cavill, I would be chased out of public areas.
A lot of my female friends are, for a lack of a better term, “woke” (not derogatory) and they have grievances with stuff Cavill has said in the past in regards to women and feminism. I’m not sure on the details, but it was enough of a turn off for them apparently. I have no skin in the game.
And I would suspect there are as many women who clamour. This meme is just someone’s specific preference. There is NO universal attractive type.
LOL I thought the middle was Keanu until I zoomed a bit and realized it’s Markiplier
I’m losing weight, but still have a buncha flab. I was stretching on my hands and knees the other day and my stomach looked more like a cow’s udder the way it was hanging 😫
If I lose the scruff, I could pass for elven, maybe. What’s a hat trick worth?
Absolutely nothing if the don’t actually find you specifically attractive.
Some people do.
Aww. 🫠
God, I can’t stand Joseph Quinn. Jeremy whatever is getting there too. Never understood why people think they’re so great in everything.
Many women do their makeup and dress for themselves & other women.
Why would it be different for men who are focused on their body’s asthetics?
…
The real question here is: Markiplier? Really?
