    All of these are in superhero movies, not exactly a representative sample of male movie bods.

      Except for the fact that basically every leading man who takes his shirt off in 99% of mainstream movies have physiques much closer to this than those of most regular people.

          Very few as well. I was addressing the unrealistic male bodies, not dismissing the fact that the same problem exists (arguably to a much worse degree) with regards to women like the OP seems to do.

            But OP was very likely referring to the fact that women discuss how female bodies are depicted unrealistically in almost every piece of media. The meme makes fun of women talking about that issue, presenting that men are also depicted unrealistically. That’s the whole punch line.

              Yeah I know, that’s why I made sure to point out that I was NOT doing that. No matter the OP, you can and should acknowledge both rather than pretend that they’re mutually exclusive.

              OP was referring to a guy choking another guy with his 50ft dick.

        Have you watched anything other than action movies?

          Modern action movies are like this, but if you go back into the early 80s, and especially 70s, leading men in action movies had normal bodies. Tbh it kind of went down the tube with Stallone and Arnold.

            True! The point I’m trying to get at is that male bodies in drama and comedy are all extremely normal, whereas female bodies in absolutely everything all conform to one particular beauty standard. The male protagonist in any comedy movie is usually extremely normal or even below average while the woman is some absurd standard. There is a very clear difference and the people trying to pretend there isn’t in this thread are either blind or willfully and knowingly lying.

          Of course I have, what sort of ridiculous question is that? Have you heard any music that isn’t jazz?

            If i knew how to use AI to create images i would love to see what Viking_Hippie images are created. But also for real artists i would love to see what they come up with!

              I’m actually just Scandinavian (apart from the historical berserkers, it’s also just a colloquial term for Scandinavian people) bleeding heart pacifist with some very left wing politics and more soft spots than hard ones who has big beard, sometimes long hair and thinks Queen and Creedence are two of the best bands ever 😁

              That being said, the other probably lends itself to visual presentation better, so I’m all for that artistic licence 😁

            So you should know that male bodies are often decidedly average or below average, while female bodies are almost always absurdly high standards. The fact that you’re trying to suggest it’s not a trope to have a really average guy with an unbelievably attractive woman is bonkers. You people are either blind or knowingly just lying. I don’t think you’re this dense so I have to assume that there is a reason you would try to lie like this, the only reason I can come up with for that is that you’re male supremacists of some sort, you’re lying just as naturally as the white supremacists do when it comes to oppression in the area they care about maintaining supremacy over.

              Wow… That’s an IMPRESSIVE army of strawmen and other completely unearned vilification you’ve got there.

              I’d refute all of it, but based on the speed with which you’re jumping to patently absurd conclusions, I very much doubt that anything short of divine intervention would change your mind and unlike you, I’m not in the mood for conjuring fictional beings to aid an argument based on a misunderstanding.

              Anyone else who might be interested can read my comment history both in this thread and in general if they’re curious to see whether I might be the Andrew Tate style maniacally misogynistic creep liar in wilful denial that you have concluded me to be.
