Another less serious thing: backing up the "girls don't need muscle hunks" with pictures of a bunch of famous actors, several of which are definitely jacked, is not proving the point you want it to.
I see this sentiment all the time and it always bothered me, but I only recently realized exactly why: you're not talking about the same thing as the cis straight guys.
You don't have to be that attractive to find love. Plenty of ugly people have relationships. Just be yourself, dress well, don't say stupid things etc then go out and meet people and you'll probably meet someone you vibe with. But that's not really what the cis straight guys are talking about. They want to put less effort into having a sex life. They want to walk into a party and have women approach them. They want to feel conventionally attractive. Best way to do that is to be somewhat muscular.
As a former line cook who got married during his elf prince years, I have now gained enough flab to be moved to the depressed middle age father circle.
Is Pedro Pascal generally pretty jacked? I remember him looking buff for Game of Thrones and he's probably getting into Marvel fit for the F4 movie, but it seems like he leans more towards trim or dad bod, depending on the role. I'm thinking of Last of Us or maybe the second Kingsman movie.
Edit: I looked at some pictures and the guy must have started working out because he clearly wasn't in that kind of shape when I was watching him ten years ago!
"Just want a nice normal looking guy like Henry fucking Cavill" lmao. I have no skin in the game being happily married, but hitting the gym/doing sports is still good for you regardless.
Depressed middle-aged appeal is apparently a thing. Never in my life was I hit on more (by women and men) as I did when I hit my forties and my hair turned gray.
Come to think of it, that diagram is super accurate. When I was in my teens (elvish) and twenties (line cook) it felt like was living in a sex avalanche, but when I hit my thirties, I became invisible. Thirties doesn't meet any of the three criteria.
Can confirm. Skinny numetal kid in my teens, too many kitchen and bar jobs in my 20's and now mid 40's on Zoloft and apparently old goth dads are on the menu.
I was just talking about this recently. There are of course some women who like muscle men or assholes, but most women are attracted to men who make them feel safe and/or make them laugh. If it is about looks, they're probably just looking for a slender/chubby guy who has a caring/funny/brooding kind of look about them.
Also! Looks can change as you get to know someone. A person who was initially hot as hell can become revolting if their personality sucks, and vice versa, someone that didn't really stand out to you could become literally the hottest person in the universe if their personality rocks!
the particular chris rock advice are you asking? If so its, a man is as faithful as his opportunities. When she saw me walk into that scifi convention with my fully socked crocks and live long and prosper t-shirt. She knew she had found the one.
