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

      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.

        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.

        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 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.
