They're not "muscle hunks", but half of the people in this picture are definitely much above average in muscle mass.

There are no opinions/personal experience necessary here. Research has quite clearly shown that a decent amount of muscle, more than average, but not by a lot, not an outrageous "muscle hunk" amount, is the most attractive sexually.

Of course this doesn't hold true for all women, tastes differ. And as well, muscle is not the most important thing in male attractiveness. Male attractiveness is a mix of very many things.

    Yeah most of those guys are fit as fuck (except jack black, sorry buddy). This post is talking about people trying to get like Arnold Schwarzenegger but to get a body like any of these guys requires serious gym time.

    Henry Cavill is a muscle hunk, tho.

    But he's also a big nerd so that kinda makes up for it.

    The only non-muscle hunk in this image is Jack Black (famously the poster boy for unconventionally attractive man, where the picture chosen is a younger and skinnier one), Joseph Quinn, and mayyybee Jeremy Allen White.

    The nerve of putting Orlando fucking Bloom as Legolas or Cavill as The Witcher as "little". This disconnect is unfathomable.

    This meme really gets the rise out of me because I agree with the sentiment but the example they chose are so bad.

    There was an old reddit thread were one woman argued that women arent attracted to "gym rats" and used Henry Cavill as an example of a man with a physique who doesn't spend hours in the gym everyday.

    People who doesn't do resistance training have a negative amount of knowledge of what it takes to get in "shape".

    Henry Cavill? The guy who played Superman and Geralt of Rivia? Nobody can possibly think he got that body by sitting around. That's like saying guys don't think Lady Gaga wears makeup on stage. He's not just fit, he's built out.

    Any actor is someone who is selling their looks as part of the package. However they look, it is a choice and they put effort into it. Even Jack Black.

    IDK, i feel they're also missing the point that a lot of these guys are attractive as well and have the personalities for their characters written for them by various people (others have already mentioned that these men are generally all physically healthy, so I won't expand on that). If I could have an attractive face, and have my personality written by a couple of writers AND have girls read or watch that play out, I bet I or anybody in that scenario would get a bunch of girls. Ultimately, I also feel men working out is one of the simpler ways to appear more attractive, next to dressing well. Being funny or in general, having a very attractive personality is harder to develop when you compare it to working out and dressing well. Of course, dressing well and having a healthy body doesn't mean you will be attractive to all women, but it betters your chances.

    Okay but Henry Cavill is simply unfair to the rest of humanity.

    I get it I was wrong, I have to be a muscle hunk OR Jack Black to be attractive

    yep. the only person here who isn't in personal-trainer levels of physical shape is jack black. I've just been re-watching the bear and apparently they skip the scenes where carmi is spending 3 hours a day in the gym

    Hey, some of us cis straight guys have been resigned to the fact that we'll always be fat slobs for years now.

    Uh, I have definitively heard a lot of men say their primary motivation to "getting buff" is to pick up women.

    Depressed middle age father here, and this tracks. I seem to get a lot of positive attention from women of all ages, and I refuse to believe that I'm good looking.

    I thought Keanu was in the middle.

    People magazine needs to correct their new sexiest man alive from Patrick Dempsey (which why in the first place) to Markiplier and issue a formal apology immediately.

    I haven't even seen people succed at getting hunks with that kind of motivation. If you don't do it for yourself, you set youself up for failure.

    People who take fitness serious are literally cooks. The only way to make sure you know what you're eating is by cooking it yourself.
