is it true? are ripped guys in movies for the sake of men?
right for the wrong reasons, it's because hollywood is full of closeted homosexuals
It's aspirational because men can see how women react to bodies like that. Women on the other hand write hysterical editorials about how toxic weight loss culture is when they see an hourglass physique on film
Today's leg day, boys. Going ham on the lunges today. Some deep smith machine squats as well. Bumstead said calfs to thighs & I gotta get flexible
>>215652391Yes
I mean nobody takes a character serious if they are a skinnyfat soi sort.
>>215652391Women are liars and should not be trusted, they like muscles in a man, they want a tall buff guy to dominate them in bed, they're naturally attracted to thatOnly time it becomes actually unattractive to them is when the guy is a roided veiny leathery beast or a manlet
>>215652555My gf back in college was obsessed with making me fatter for some reason. She kept telling me I was too thin. I was 5'9 and about 160 pounds at the time which I personally thought was overweight as I had no muscle so I was skinnyfat I guess. But she was always trying to get me to eat shit and often she would physically put food in my mouth. Its weird because she herself was not even slightly fat. She was thin.
>>215652652>5'9 and about 160 pounds at the time which I personally thought was overweightLMFAO, you were a fucking child bro. She wanted to make you a man cause you were sissy victim weight.
>>2156527075'9 and 160 is fat if he has no muscles. Thats probably like 25% bodyfat.
>>215652652She had a feeder fetish or she was just trying to make you unattractive so no woman would look at you, or both
>>215652652>She kept telling me I was too thinSo did my ex but that was because she was insanely fat and had no concept of what a healthy amount of food looks like
>>2156527075'9 and 160 is like the standard skinnyfat soi redditor type body. Its not skinny.
>>215652391>also male gazeIt was some years after seeing Thor that my mom mentioned she sat up a lot straighter in her seat in the cinema once Hemsworth got shirtless so that's untrue.
I really hate how The Male Gaze has just become the de facto way of looking at art.It's a theory. There is plenty of valid criticism of it. It should evolve through time or at least not be used constantly. It's one feminist's theory from 50 years ago and everyone still seems to be stumbling over themselves to bring it up constantly.It's often women who can't help but want to portray themselves as victims of society, and men who desperately wants to prove that they're not like other, more basic, men, who brings this up. Every single fucking time there's a good looking woman on screen there's the tutting and sighing and mentioning of the dreaded male gaze that we just can't seem to get rid of.
>>215652391This is not female gaze, aside from 55 year old wine aunts. We have had this discussion again and again.
>>215652652I have always been thin and I'm only 5'11. I have never had problems with women, quite the contrary.
>>215652873What the fuck is a male gaze. Motherfucker I oogle shit. I'm an oogler. Male gaze sounds gay as fuck.
>>215652555Women just settle because jacked guys are extremely rare and most have ED because they aren't natty. Same reason most fit guys are plappers because most women are just hambeasts.
>>215652645First thing I noticed, and can't unsee.
>>215652873Its a retarded theory too. Actually skimmed the original male gaze paper and read some nonsense about how films at the time (70s, 60s) didn't have female leads because men were literally incapable of understanding it without feeling as if their penis were being cut off. Like most sociology of the time it's just a stupid bitch making stuff off the top of her head but now we have to act like it's a fact.
>>215652391>are ripped guys in movies for the sake of men?Obviously. You think the demographic for Arnold and Stallone movies in the 80's was women?
I think the obsession with muscular male physiques and low bodyfat is a modern psyop meant to prey on men's insecurities Think about it, do you think your mother, grandma, or great grandma gave a single shit about whether or not her husband had abs or big biceps? Now most zoomer men are packed in gyms worrying if they don't look like a calvin klein model they'll die alone
>>215653417The Bechdel Test was invented by some blue hair SJW.
>>215653629No it wasn't.
>>215653348I mean, yeah. She's literally playing a psychotic character.
>>215653464>do you think your mother, grandma, or great grandma gave a single shit about whether or not her husband had abs or big biceps?I can't speak for my great grand ma but I know for a fact my mother and at least one of my grandmothers did. I've heard both talk about how fit my father and grandfather were when they met. Honestly the accumulated stories about my grandfather when he was young make him sound super human.
>>215652391That's called the "no argument" defense. The fag/hag just did a "no u" since they know op is correct.
True! These smut books are also actually for MEN!
>>215653464>>215653734My mother's father was a lobster trapper and crab fisherman working the East Atlantic for 40 years. My father was career military. My mother and my mother's mother very clearly had/has a type.
>>215652645I don't know why I find kristen schaal so hot.
>>215652391Men find motivation when seeing ripped men. When women see ripped women, or even skinny women, the first thing they do is judge them for not going ham on the kinds of food every day that makes them either bulky or fat.
>>215652391>are ripped guys in movies for the sake of men?Nope. It's all for women. It's just that liberals use the word "misogyny" to pretend that sexism is a male-exclusive trait. And I still remember when Disney announced that they were filling Star wars episode 7:>Harrison Ford, Peter Mayhew, Mark Hamill, and Anthony Daniels were all told to get in shape for their roles, and they did>Carrie Fisher was also told to get into shape. She screamed sexism, refused to lose a single pound, and got to play out her character as a chubbie. I heard similar stories on the set of the Avengers movies with ScarJo and Olsen refusing to lose weight and get into shape while all the male actors were hitting the gym.
>>215652391Yeah no one ever made a career targeting women out of being shirtless and muscular
>>215652482>closeted
>>215653988based Fabio
>>215652391I think it's supposed to be for women but it's mostly men oogleing them. Like in porn there's women of all shapes and sizes but the man is almost always a huge muscle man, but most people watching porn are men, which makes it very difficult to find anything to watch if you don't like staring at huge muscle men. I'm pretty sure most men are secretly gay.
>>215654106Okay pajeet
>>215654125Okay homo
>>215652391Yes women like guys who are otter mode instead
>>215652391Partially correct, if it's for women it has a slightly zestier veneer, but both of those men are otherwise attractive and not SO ridiculous (yes even though they're both blasting and cruising with large amounts of exogenous hormones) that they couldn't pass for "female gaze"Solely for female titillation would, ironically, have a more feminine "feel" to it, but relatively attractive men shirtless, oiled up, and in good shape is still not exactly going to turn women off. The differentiating factor is some zesty twink with abs and a "nice" face isn't a "male power fantasy". Like compare a Space Marine from WH40k as the ultimate male power fantasy (8ft tall, racist, at least 500lbs) to whatever flavour of the month male model, more men are interested in the first.
>>215652391It's true that lean/feminine guys are popular too now, but a man with a nice physique and pleasant personality conveys a sense of strength and security that all women appreciate, like how guys appreciate nice tits.Biggest thing is personality though. Ripped + shitty personality is a massive red flag.
>>215652391>are ripped guys in movies for the sake of men?yes, just look at chuds, all they care about is manly hot looking men.
>>215652391Male gays indeed
>>215652848The difference is that Chris Hemsworth is attractive anyway and although he's roiding, he has the sort of body women like, he's just lean enough for women's liking. If it was solely for men they'd go fucking nuts if they were being "accurate" and get some absolutely roided out freak of nature
>>215653856Bad selection, as only "Dear Ava" actually has enough mass to be "for men" plus they're all rather fruitily framed
>>215652391Women don't understand that a guy can admire and respect another dude's physique without it being sexual. This is because the majority of them are always in competition with each other and need to tear the others down.
Unironically yes. Most women are into vegan fucks who look like this. Or some kpop group like BTS. Notice how whenever someone mentions women like kpop pretty boys a bunch of men seethe and start coping by saying only teenage girls are into that shit or how they’ve never met a woman into BTS or how all kpop fans are ugly fatties. Men can’t accept that women don’t care how buff you are. You can’t self improve by working out. Women are attracted to faces. And there’s not much you can do about your face outside of plastic surgery. So men will keep coping and coping that women aren’t really into pretty boys.
>>215654106>the man is almost always a huge muscle manNo shit it's porn you retard, it's inherently homoerotic to begin with. Even then if you look far enough you can find ugly bastards, Ron Jeremy is the arguably the most famous pornstar of all time and that isn't even accounting for the fact that male pornstars have to be in shape as they do most of the work.
The “male gaze” doesn’t exist, everyone loves hot women except ugly ones and faggots.
>>215654650Nah, nice try pajeet. No matter what you try our do women will never sleep without outside of any potential financial gain.
>>215652391It's spelled "male gays"
>>215654650im 8/10 in looks, i get 100s of matches on tinder, and women fall out of attraction from me once they see my personality
yes
>>215652391Good point actually.
>>215655440did you delete this post because you realized the image contradicts what you're saying?
>>215652391it's just a male power fantasy. REAL women want 5'4" twink manlets who can't even bench the bar>>215652506This. Something something "men climb the mountain"
>>215652391The alternative is we promote ugliness. Too much of the world is already ugly when we should be striving for beauty.
>>215655500this nigga really patrols /v/ and /tv/ for these threads
>>215653856And on AI chat bots you never see a fat guy
>>215654106Most men in porn are generic looking . It doesn't matter if the guy is muscular or not they only focus on the female.>I'm pretty sure most men are secretly gay.Look who is self projecting>>215655484No It was a mistake
>>215652391nobody asked for this shit, its just that one point capeshit started to hire better trainers for their male stars who were more versed in PEDs and the rest followed.
>>215655567If only we had access to india's statistics. Those guys are the ones spamming and shitting up threads with their black fetish and the like.
>>215655537?1) I am White2) It has been several years since the last time I posted that image (which I did not make). Do you know how 4chan works? We can save images that other people post. Go ahead, save that image. Then the next time you see a thread like this you can post it.
>>215652391obviously. "shredded" roid heads are not attractive to women
>>215654650Cope ricecel. Only the most immature BPD fujocoded freaks and landwhales will ever find a plastic freak attractive
>>215655723Also a prettyboy by western standards is still orders of magnitude more masculine than than those troons
