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.
Pedro is also masculine as fuck.
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.
I think @mgtom might have meant to post his comment here as well…
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.

The bear is ripped af
He’s literally training to play a professional wrestler in this picture. Starring alongside Zach Efron, who got even more swole.
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
Okay but Henry Cavill is simply unfair to the rest of humanity.
Super braindead take, men exercise for their own health and confidence. In the same way that women wear makeup, it may help attracting the opposite sex but we do it for ourselves. Also exercise is one of the most direct mechanisms for self improvement regardless of gender.
Uh, I have definitively heard a lot of men say their primary motivation to “getting buff” is to pick up women.
and I have definitely heard women repeat some common gender stereotype as well
Yea I think a lot of men initially get into exercise to attract women but the ones that really stick with it end up doing it for themselves after they realize how much better they feel, both physically and mentally. Of course there will always be people who do things for different reasons but in general this has been my experience.
It can be for women but attract women for unintended reasons. Confidence is attractive and if they get confidence through gaining muscle it still works.
I’m 39. These days I explicitly work out to be in good shape for sex. I want to look good when I pop the top, and attracting partners is a core goal of mine.
I’ve never in my life been hurting for confidence, and was confident when I was 40 lbs heavier - I just looked worse with my shirt off.
If you’re chasing low-commitment sex, at some point your physical attractiveness does indeed matter.
That’s fair but from the people I speak to, who exercise consistently, they do it for themselves primarily. I don’t know many people who exercise exclusively to attract women and not also enjoy being in shape just for themselves whether its to feel good, or be more confident.
Personally I do cardio, not because of attracting someone but because I literally feel so much better on a daily basis when I do. My sleep is better, I have more energry, etc.
Take memes seriously, get into arguments with strangers.
You’re right lemmy is no place for discussion Ill just block you so we don’t argue anymore, have a good one.
Living up to your username
This was a funny exchange
You’re right. I don’t even want to argue about the Kek of markiplier in the center.
Jack Black catching some stay bullets here.
Markiplier in the center of diagram is funny as hell. And accurate.
I’d who TF that is. Looks like Reanu Keeves to me.
One of the more famous Youtubers.
Identity: Markiplier. Confidence in identification: 70%
Check out A Heist with Markiplier sometime, it’s like the video form of a choose your own adventure book.
Was hilarious watching that vid of Amy demanding he explain how he doesn’t see the thirst trap of him suddenly going dom mode in ISWM
“IT’S ONE WORD! HOW IS THIS A THING‽”
“IT’S MORE THAN THE WORD AND YOU DAMN WELL KNOW IT!”
What a man wants, can women just chill and let a man be happy?
Yes, famously men have had very few demands of women throughout history.
I don’t disagree, but also it isn’t relevant. Either it’s wrong or it’s not, regardless of gender. People should be happy first.
Fact that the Line Cook example isn’t Pere Davidson is a crime and severe inaccuracy, that man looks like he’s still waiting for puberty and can Line Cook Energy his way into dating basically any chick he puts the moves on.
That or he just does literally any amount of oral since that’s apparently a complete rarity woth famous dudes.
Can someone identity everyone in this pic? I only recognize two people.
Left to right moving down:
Carmy, main character from The Bear.
Eddie, Side character from Stranger Things Season 3.
Legolas from Lord of the Rings.
Jack Black from the School of Rock.
Markiplier, YouTube personality.
Geralt from The Witcher.
Joel from The Last Of Us.
oh wow! a lot of modern nerd culture. thanks.
never heard of markplier or the bear, never watched witcher stranger things or tlou
- Elf: Legolas
- Dad: Pedro Pascal
- Elf Dad: Henry Cavill
- Elf cook: Eddie from Stranger Things
No idea about the others.
Jack Black and Markiplier
The people only focusing on muscle hunks and ignoring Jack Black and Markiplier. I think I owe @gmtom an apology…
I feel like Jack Black from School of Rock. Except I can’t play guitar.
Can you funny?
I can funny. I can sing. I can skibitty-doo-bop-doo-bop. And am fat.
Beautiful.
Yeah if I could look like Legolas forever I might do that. As it stands I’m headed in the direction of depressed middle aged father but less handsome so idk
I thought Keanu was in the middle.
Markiplier works too.
