Is it even possible for the modern low-T, domesticated male, to give off the same masculine vibe?
I started watching old movies (like Connery James Bond, Clint Eastwood stuff, hell even Kirk in Star Trek) and it's making me depressed feeling so emasculated in comparison.
Can anything be done? I don't suppose sunbathing your balls or lowering the amount of plastics will help much...
To be honest, I don't even think roiding gets you to a similar point, roidtrannies are big and muscular but there is still something "off" about them, like a feminine soul... it feels like some kind of global mind control electromagnetic field or something, no matter what you do you it seems we cannot avoid the pussification
>>
Craig was the best bond only boomer fags disagree
>>
>>76615043
Craig is a good example of the pussified faggot I'm talking about in OP, thank you for that
I would accept Architect as the best one, but Connery is still way more masculine and natural
>>
>>76615030
By zoomer standards, Connery Bond is a betamaxx
>Not tall
>Victim weight
>Beats women
>Not stoic at all
>Kills in cold blood = sociopath
>Cringe quips
>Not a hustler, employeefag
>Cares for status symbols

There's a reason they're scrambling to change the Bond design because the character is simply not marketable nowadays.
>>
>>76615030
It’s possible, there’s just a bit of cognitive dissonance when you start shedding modern brainwashing about masculinity
>>
>>76615057
Addendum: Just compare him to Reacher, a bodybuilder giant with a coscience who respects and subordinates himself to women (Ever notice he never puts the moves on chicks but only fucks them when they basically force him to?).

Spoiler alert: hollywood didn't choose an average everyday man from that era, they picked a specific type of person to craft a narrative of manly masculinity. The fact that you think its real life from back in the day makes you as gullible as tik tok trend followers.

Perhaps, but zoomers are feminine retarded cretins, so their opinions on masculinity has no value

You could pick a random male from any old movie and he will be more masculine than the most masculine man you can find in 2025.
>>
>>76615057
Conbery was 6'2" and an amateur bodybuilder. Most of uour other points contradict each other. The fuck are you smoking
>>
>>76615043
Craig was the only bond to capture that 007 is a borderline sociopath who really doesn't care about civilian casualties or actually murdering people
>>
>>76615119
I really thought Craig's era would be the best bond ever after Casino Royale, one of the best bond movies ever made.
Then they fucked it up with the rest of his movies and pissed him off so he never wanted to play bond again. At least Skyfall was pretty, even if it was a mess story wise (seriously they just needed a few different storyline edits and it could have been so, so good)
>>
>>76615081
This. OP is a faggot. Why would you compare yourself to theater kids play-acting the power fantasies of boomer losers?

Sean Connery was so arachnophobic that when filming the scene in Dr. No with the spider, he made them put glass between him and the harmless tarantula.

He hated Bond, and got himself fired from the role because it sucked and he didn't like being famous.

Also, aside from being a prodigious rapist, what does Connery's Bond do that's so masculine compared to modern men?

>masculine vibe

Plays golf with a fat Dutch pimp, resorts to cheating when gets btfo. Gets btfo by asian midget anyway.

In the cuck chair under fort Knox model while Goldfinger fucks a dozen Italian guys. Gets easily subdued by a bitch named Pussy.

Gets chained to a table so Chadfinger can cut his dick off with a laser. Only lies and deceit keep Jame's Bond from being 007ed.

>This is your masculine icon

Also, don't forget in a later movie:

Goes to gay spa. Effeminate euro trash noble puts him in a wiggler machine. Bond has to be saved by a woman. Immediately threatens her with tattling to boss.

I can see why you're so depressed anon. I too wish I could go to Toyko, be humiliated by a random old Japanese dude, get given a wife for no reason, have her die on the honeymoon while failing to protect her, get given a second identical Japanese girl, then let awesome ninja guys do the fighting for me while I stand around talking to a random gay autist obsessed with space and Chinese communism.

It takes over a year to make faster progress assuming perfect diet/programming/technique. And you have to change programming and have to use more safe techniques once the weight gets heavier.

Why are there so many defeatist posts, how much does it pay to monitor "terrorists?" This money could be going to subsidize college, science, etc.

i feel like there's been a divergence on the masculinity stereotype.

On one hand you have the Patrick Bateman type, trying to be at the top of the social hierarchy, the desire to be seen by everyone as the superior male in the room.
On the other you have the Clint eastwood type, a person who lives life his way without trying to be part of society, who cares little about his public perception.

>>
>>76615030
The reason they are so cool and masculine is that every scene they're in has been written that way.
Everyone in the production sees them as cool and masculine, nobody makes them look stupid, they never do anything wrong.

If you just gave them a masculine vibe that nobody else was picking up on, and nobody respected them, youd just have the average arrogant brown loser.

This was considered athletic in the 60s and normal-sporty middle aged man until the 2010s.

He looks like a SPECTRE assassin, because he looks like Red Grant from "From Russia With Love". One main critcism about Craig was that he didn't look like a James Bond, but a James Bond villain's henchman.

Not at all.
Arnold, Stallone and Van Damme were anomalies, Arnold actually had to LOSE mass for Conan the Barbarian.

Bodybuilders were considered gay freaks until around 2010. And don't even get me started on powerlifters.
The average action star wasn't muscular by modern standards in the 80s, they were skinnyfat and DYEL like Bruce Willis, Steven Seagal and Chuck Norris.

Look at Arnold in your pic, with that form he would barely make a Men's Health cover nowadays. No chest, no definition.

This is bait, but the average height of a white american male is 5'10 currently and people were shorter back when Connery was playing Bond.

t. Zoomer

The 80s ideal was slim like a tennis player. Bodybuilding was never mainstream until the 2010s. Gyms were a meeting point for freaks and gays.
Before SS, "getting in shape" meant going jogging and doing push ups every evening before going to bed. Modern ideas like training 5x per week would have been unthinkable.

t. started training in the late 80s

You're a larping zoomer. Arnold and Stallone were in basically every movie back then. Steven Seagal and Chuck Norris were just B-listers. Bruce Willis is the expection because he played everyman type roles.

Actually not really. Bodybuilding is more mainstream than ever, back in the 80s/90s, you basically never saw bodybuilders in public. Nowadays I see one once in a while.

People were slimmer back then because bulking and powerlifting weren't mainstream, they were probably fitter because they didn't sit in front of the computer all day, but lifting, gym culture etc. were not nearly as mainstream as today.
