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?

It’s different for men because we fool ourselves into believing that it’s for women when it is indeed for other men most of the time.
And Markiplier is a good looking dude. Why wouldn’t he be a good example?
Mostly, because I'm shocked at a meme for overlapping with my niche content preferences. Markiplier is handsome, sure. He's also an insane pick personality-wise, like as close to a cartoon as possible.
Goofy af, gaslighting, goldfish brains, but good looking! This is what ladies crave, yes.

Never been into muscles. I wanted a bear I could sleep on like a snorlax beanbag bed.
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.
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.

Impressing girls may be the reason why guys join a gym but impressing their gym buddies is why they stay.
Also the realization that you just generally feel so much better when training regularly.
Right? A girl checking you out is nice but a "straight" bro noticing the work you've put in means so much more.
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.
I love how those "not obsessed" dad bods would take most men yeaaaaars to build in the gym 😂😂
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"
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.
as if Pyramid Head, Bowser, and Shadow the Hedgehog aren’t always topping the “God I wish they were real” lists for women.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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 😫
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.

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.
