The look for men just hasn't changed much over the course of time. All you have to do is look at Greek statuary to see that. We saw an uptick in men with heavier musculature in the '90s, and there is a slight trend now towards skinny gits with neck beards, but these are not the mainstream.

unfortunately, these exist and men are experiencing increased, and soaring rates of anorexia and depression as a result. This is not equality. We need, all genders, to stop being bombarded with impossible ideals. We all know anyway that kind of physical attraction fades with time--we fall in love with the person.

maybe because most male doesn't care. I Watch He-man all my youth and never want to look like him

Not true at all, it's again gender stereotypes. You've got in french some books about it and virility, I find this on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPAOPWIJt2k For french readers: Alain Cordbin, histoire de la virilité (3 volumes)

The alleged ideal male body HAS changed. Sean Connery as 007 in the 60s was tall, not over muscled with body hair. The 80s was about bulging muscles. The 00s saw a leaner and well defined musculature. Now dudes are shaving their body hair which is pathetic

No. Men and just as objectified, but no one kicks up a fuss about it.

I'd definitely read that.........but then, I'm just a history nerd lol

That , I will not agree w/ya Jeff. I hear too much from my best girl meets, "like to have more", I will not ask which is it , is it my performance or size they're requesting?

Women dress and put on a face to impress other women - not men.

Yessir. But, Being a male should I comment on male bodies, hell no, Ya'll might think I was Gay or Bi. all you know I might be. As long as males are not intentionally slovenly, most males don't look to bad. Greek Gods? I don't think so, But I was always average . And, I caught two Ginger haired women, So there!

Men should NOT be criticized in our patriarchal society...they are father's, gods etc.🤮

Possibly...Item of interest re the male body. Plans were made several years ago to remake the film of "The Heiress", the original of which had starred Olivia de Havilland and Montgomery Cliff. The project was abandoned because the build of men at the time the film was set was slender - and the Hollywood male stars proposed at the time of the re-make were all too beefy for the role!

Well, the reason theirs nothing like this for man is because no one ever gave a s**t. I wish they didn't care about a woman's figure either.

Was your girlfriend standing over you when you typed that?

Yes! And it's boring

Agreed. I never really found people's looks/bodies attractive, I mostly find their personality attractive.

Agreed. You may look like a drop dead gorgeous woman, but if you 're an a**hole, you're not worth the time.

In the same way someone with an ugly heart who doesn't show kindness or compassion will always appear ugly to me.

Definetely!
