Never been into muscles. I wanted a bear I could sleep on like a snorlax beanbag bed.
Impressing girls may be the reason why guys join a gym but impressing their gym buddies is why they stay.
Right? A girl checking you out is nice but a “straight” bro noticing the work you’ve put in means so much more.
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 😫
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.

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.
It’s not a fucking contest.
Who’d win tho?
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
🧐 Source?

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

Hey, I love Jack Black as much as the next guy. But you gotta be honest, he’s simply not a muscle hunk. He’s got the sauce, just not that one.
Jack Black lost a LOT of points kneeling to the trump boot and kicking the band to the curb over a fucking joke about a Nazi getting shot. 🤦♂️
Everything he’s made since Jumanji has been utter slop as well.
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
Elven genetics are bullshit, I agree. Fucking OP immortal assholes.
Comments: Um actually, most of these are muscle hunks
Me: Um actually, Carmy Berzatto is a world class chef and restaurateur, not just a “line cook”
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.”
As I understand it, the technique involves getting dehydrated almost to the point of death, getting the pictures/scene, then rehydrating before you have to get EMS involved.
To be fair, the 3/4 fit elves account for 2/4 middle age dads.
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.
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.
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”
I think you’re also missing the part where they have extremely handsome faces in addition to their bodies. Your totally regular looking face isn’t going to be all that hot on a ripped physique.
Actually saw study recently where beyond a certain point. Every point you lose in BMI you also reduce your sexual partners. So yeah, being reasonably fit with a little bit of fat is generally the best build.
I think they are talking about dating though. People will fuck a rotting slob of flesh, so long as it has a bag over it’s head.
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.
This is why form is the most important thing when you’re working out. Everything else comes after. You have to stretch and learn good form. The cool thing about form is that it’s only something you’re learning for the first few months, after that you will naturally be good at finding the correct form in most new exercises because you understand the basics of what you’re doing.
I finally reached 55 KG, and I’m running around with steel parts back at work. It’s fun…
Yup. After taking a few years off after my shoulder surgery I started back at basically 0 weight, or 2.5lb if 0 didn’t make sense. I did 4 sets of 25 reps for each exercise with perfect form, and only stepped up the weight by 2.5lb when I could do all 100 reps without discomfort.
I’m still taking it slow, but I’m back up to 1 plate as my 15rm with squats, deadlifts, and bench press without pain. Hopefully I’ll be back to my pre-surgery 15rm of 2 plates soon.
Edit: I never actually made the point I was building up to. That point was that I just now got to the point where my major muscle groups feel the workout. I’ve spent about 8 months getting to this point because all of the supporting muscle groups need to get strong before I can actually lift heavy again.
But I can now curl a full 5 gallon bucket of water 8 times with perfect form because I built up everything else that supports the weight.
Yes that is important I guess. I’m not really a workout person. Just something that bothers me is many people think that pain equals gain, but in reality pain equals destroying your telemeres and your body even if it takes years to manifest because your body is so amazing at keeping itself alive and in a good state.
Hey man, I’m just working out to make the little voice that tells me to kms shut the fuck up.
Heh. I started training because I wanted the lazy fatass in the mirror causing all my problems to die one way or another.
Hell yeah bro, you show that voice who’s boss
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 😍
When I was a teen some of the girls I knew had such big lady boners for the main cast of supernatural ad sherlock Holmes. I never understood why.
Going by the Venn diagram, ive now come to the conclusion that theres something about homoerotic baiting between two grizzled depressed dad archetypes that really fires the neurons and gets the hormones going for some ladies.
Why is markiplier in the middle
Actually it makes so much sense
The ven diagram gods decreed it.
LOL I thought the middle was Keanu until I zoomed a bit and realized it’s Markiplier
Congrats to Markiplier for being the perfect guy apparently
I’m cis male and even I think he’s a hunk
