True Male Beauty!

All good, but mainly the bald one cuz he's the tallest and beefy-est. My higher brain might like smart, funny, nerdy types but my reptilian brain still responds to big, strong males.

It's a good thing we are building up the male ego because it's always so low. Poor men always crying about their lack of thigh gap, expanding derriere, and feeling fat. Always relating their worthiness as a human to how attractive they are to women. Poor guys.

He was not quite as attractive as his photo, but whatevs. The problem was he smelled. Bad. And not even BO. More like he hadn't washed his hair or clothes in about five years -- stale and gross. I couldn't take it.

Needless to say, no second date. If he'd only used basic hygiene, we might be married now.

Damn that's some confidence you think your so hot and irresistible that basic hygiene doesnt even apply to you.

If you're insinuating that men don't suffer from body image issues I can assure you your dead wrong.

This thread needs more Sean Connery....

Real beauty has very little to do with how you look, male or female.

However, I couldn't give two hoots about the perceived inequality. The day when a man's worth is judged as much on the way he looks as a woman's is the day I will start caring.

We are judged on our sexual prowess much more than women.

btw, "masculinist" isn't a term. if you believe in men's equality, the term would still be "feminist" js.
watch the movie "Tough Guise". It's a feminist documentary about men in the media and ridiculous standards they have to live up to. It's amazing.

It's sexist that a male equality movement would require a feminine term like feminist.

I like masculinist, it is now a real term. Thank you OP for addressing this distressing trend.

Unfotunately, it IS a term. It has been used by groups that were anti-feminist (ie. misogynist) and so, unfortunately, has a bad connotation. From Wikipedia:

Masculism or masculinism may variously refer to advocacy of the rights or needs of men; the adherence to or promotion of opinions, values, attitudes, etc. regarded as typical of men;[1][2][3] or, alternatively, an approach that is focused on male superiority[4][5] to the exclusion of women.

Personally I prefer the term "anti-sexist" as it covers the bases. Though I have had feminists get mad at me for that, like i'm supposed to agree that the term "feminist" covers it all. I know it is supposed to...but I agree, why does the term have to have a root word that inherently reflects only one gender?

I was convinced I was ugly until my early twenties and used to assume that no woman would want me because I didn't have abs.

You were saying?

Yes! A sense of humor like that covers over any body flaws. But he's kind of like a psychotic teddy bear. And I like that sort of thing.

good lord. these forums are just a goddamned massacre of all that is good in this world!

the battle of the sexes rages on and all I wanted was pics of hot dudes.

I think this thread goes to prove one major point on my part.

I have no idea how to read women, nor have any idea of what a woman finds attractive.

Women are like men- we are all different and attracted to different things. If a man can be a "leg man" though- I am NOT a "hair lady," lol.

That's a movie character.

The real test is if you'd take that body if it were named Joe Blue and worked as a greeter at the local Wal-Mart.

And why is Jeff Goldblum getting no love? He's got that smart nerdy thing going on, plus I think his voice is very yummy. :flowerforyou:

I love all these doods but find this picture very disturbing.

This is a spoof of a Vanity Fair cover a few years back.

We refer to it as feminism because it's easy and has been around for decades, and feminism is about both men and women as it's supposed to remove the stigma and inequality of being feminine, men can also be feminine. There's a stigma against effeminate men, this extends to things like homosexuality (because liking other men is considered emasculating in society), the stigmatization of women AND men who have been sexually assaulted (because to be raped is to be emasculated in society), and the perceptions of men in general as masculine and powerful is also one that is addressed by feminism.

Feminism is about femininity, not the "female." The issue is that women have significantly more obstacles to face than men when it comes to leveling the playing field and finding equality in the world (and a safe environment) than men do at the moment, so that's the greatest focus of the movement because it is the greatest problem.

Make it okay for women to be women in today's society without being treated as objects because of their natural traits or their gender, and all of a sudden men who "display" traits of that gender, whether genuinely more feminine, or just based on stereotypes of what femininity is, will find that their situation improves as well.

MRAs, "masculinists," or whatever the hell else you want to call them, are just weird misogynists who are upset that fixing these issues require a focus on a gender that isn't their's, it's them having their egos reduced because in a life where everything is about them, there is something that isn't about them.
Look at the people who complain about being racially profiled because they're white, or who complain that homosexuals are infringing on "heterosexual rights" or other imaginary garbage.

People are intrinsically childish, they don't understand what they're really saying, they don't understand the topic whatsoever, and if they actually took a Women's Studies class they'd probably figure it out, but the name of that class isn't Men's Studies (see 20,000 BC - 2013 AD) so they're going to complain and whine about the name being Women's Studies and then go and scream about how there isn't a White History Month or something equally absurd.

Women by and large aren't as obsessed with visual hotness as men, we go for the more important stuff.

"by and large" this sets off my BS detector!

QuietBloom

So what?

The day when the burgeoning genocide risk in Central African Republic is quelled is the day I will start caring about how women are valued based on their appearance. We can play this all day, but let's not, instead.

Hot!!

LOL. From the 'royal we' to begging the question to brushstrokes so broad that they are measured in AU . . . that was a true masterwork.

It did occur to me this morning that the poster is 22 years old. I remember having equally strong feels about other issues in my idealistic youth.
