Why do guys think they have to be muscle hunks to be attractive?

[Posts pictures of 5 muscle hunks]

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.

Aren't 3 of the 4 "Elf Princes" still known to be incredibly fit?

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.

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.

Congrats to Markiplier for being the perfect guy apparently

Why is markiplier in the middle

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.

Hey man, I'm just working out to make the little voice that tells me to kms shut the fuck up.

Well, I am just a depressed guy.

Impressing girls may be the reason why guys join a gym but impressing their gym buddies is why they stay.

Markiplier is kind of a muscle hunk though

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"

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.

Going and getting swole will still get you women but not because of your big muscles in most cases. The dedication and follow through needed for that demonstrates value. Other hobbies are the same way. Of course some women like huge muscled men or cars or d&d or guitars or whatever but the ability to be both interested in and interesting about something is more attractive than the results.

You hit the gym everyday and you'll get way more compliments from men than women. Same if you have some sweet car. It's the effort to attain that super nice back and thick heavy lats that women respond to more so than the muscles themselves in most cases.

Doing something is more interesting than doing nothing. Plenty of guys without hobbies or interests will still find mates but it's harder to get someone to want to know you and get to the point where they love your interiority without some kind of interest. Touch grass, join like minded people for activities, enjoy yourself and the rest will follow.

Tldr.
Slay orcs, cook food, go into the glimmer on a military mission then return potentially infecting Natalie Portman go to avenge a family member killed by the Lannisters and you too can be the middle guy (whoever that is)

LOL I thought the middle was Keanu until I zoomed a bit and realized it’s Markiplier

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?
