One woman's opinion:

Bigass muscles are hot on a guy with some body fat. Sumo wrestlers and rugby forwards are WAY hotter than bodybuilders.

The men who don't make a big deal out of it and then they take their shirt off and they're muscly, that's way more fun than a guy hanging out with his sleeves tucked up.

a gay friend of mine once said to me, all men are gay until proven straight and bodybuilders completely epitomise that

[-] tetris11@feddit.uk 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

wait, bodybuilders are gay when they flex..? No... what's the thought here

Not sure. Feels like one of those things where culture doesn't know how to react to other parts of the same culture. Like it's pushing muscular is masculine so gender affirmation should be being muscular, but also masculine is depending on who you ask is humble, or (straight masculine) doesn't put much effort into themselves as they gain it "naturally" by taking care of those around them.

It's just fucked ideas people have about others really. If people want to wear, look like, do whatever... That's their perogative

Sumo wrestlers? Dude wtf :))

Modern pro bodybuilders are definitely not beautiful, they're more of a spectacle. But sumo wrestler is definitely a type.

Mat depend of you mental image of sumo wrestler. In video game they have a big ass belly. In real life their is less fat. Edit : Google image is not flaterous for sumo... I start to join you...

Sumo wrestlers come in different sizes. Not all are huge.

Yeah and there are a lot of sub 6' basketball players out there. But when someone talks about basketball players we think of professional basketball players usually from the NBA. The equivalent is Japan Professional sumo, which I seem to find the average weight is between 330-350lbs. Roughly 100 pounds more than the average NFL/NBA player.

This is such a great thread and I'm really glad to be here for it. I hope to have, uh, interesting dreams when I finally fall out ;)

Pro bodybuilders look good imo, but not during competition season

Kirishima Asakoryu Wakamotoharu and Wakatakakage

I ended up in bed with a guy who does a lot of karate last month, his muscles were really nice and he had this tight square abdomen and it was impressive to feel and obviously the result of a lot of hard work. And I thought "no belly at all? Awww"

As a male, this is counter to everything ive been told about sleeves. I've been told that rolled up sleeves are basically lingerie for men when done right.

[-] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

How rolled up?

Marines look great with the sun's out guns out tight forearm cuff thing.

Or in the context of "this guy has been swinging a pickaxe", yes. Men doing physical labor is hot.

In everyday life, walking into a restaurant with your t-shirt sleeves rolled up like Clavicular makes you look like a fuckboy.

[-] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Yea t shirt sleeves tucked is ridiculous, but standard sleeve tuck i get. I don't personally do it because i find it way too tight around the arms to get anything done.
