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.

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

But it is false. Women do prefer a muscled bodytype.

Hell, men prefer looking at other men a muscled bodytype. It is scientifically proven that being conventionally attractive makes you more socially popular with basically everyone.

This, completely. Like does Stanley Tucci have toned muscles? Idk I was too busy listening to him talking passionately about Italian food

Elves, Pedro, maybe middle guy but hard to tell. Are you counting jack black?

Everyone minus Jack Black and Joseph Quinn as Eddie Munson (intersection of line cook and elf prince only) is a hunk in my book. Jeremy Allen White can be argued either way, granted. But if people think the rest aren't hunks they have an unrealistic body standard imho.

Especially putting Cavil as Geralt on a list of supposed "non-muscle hunks"? Nonsense.

[–] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago

But yeah, cavil, near his superman size, is a physique that is difficult to obtain without chemical help for sure. Steroids have really warped society's view of what size most people can get.

I don't think that Jeremy Allen White can be argued either way. He's definitely a muscle hunk.

[–] RandomStickman@fedia.io 4 points 3 days ago

Damn, you're right. I haven't really watched The Bear much and I don't really know him.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 days ago

I don't know his real name but the guy from shameless who is now the cook (as pictured) in his newer show has some guns on him.

Middle guy is Markiplier. Definitely fit but I don't know about muscle hunk.
