"Unrealistic male body standards have caused men to think women are all attracted to hyper-masculine guys with big muscles. Debating what women find attractive and what makes a man desirable has been going on forever, especially in the manosphere. Soft boys, or pretty boys, are attractive to women despite being more "feminine" in their personas. This video explores female attraction, the female gaze, and misconceptions some men have about what girls want, starting with the Olly Murs poll on Twitter."

Oh yeah, it's discussed in the video. I thought it was only fair he included it.

Was Magic Mike just a flash in the pan?

Humans know what humans are like, so this shit falls on deaf ears among the general population because it's so obviously wrong. The problem is when kids who are still trying to sort out up and down get exposed to it, as I did when I was younger, and end up buying into rubbish ideas like believing that it's totally okay to ignore your physical health. Thing is, I'm strongly predisposed to having a strong physique, and while I've learned that I should personally embrace that and work hard on my body, I spent a lot of younger years working directly against my own self because the media had convinced me to shun traditional beauty standards.

Lol, often what they want is not them.

These men, 'What's wrong with women these days, I have sexpectations!'
