    When I was a teen some of the girls I knew had such big lady boners for the main cast of supernatural ad sherlock Holmes. I never understood why.

    Going by the Venn diagram, ive now come to the conclusion that theres something about homoerotic baiting between two grizzled depressed dad archetypes that really fires the neurons and gets the hormones going for some ladies.

    Love the idea that twinks aren’t also muscle hunks. You think the male body just does that? Unless you’re genetically gifted or under 21, expect to put in a lot of gym hours, because if you wanna lose serious weight without gaining muscularture you’re in for a shitton of cardio and dieting.

    There is exactly one dude on that chart that doesn’t look like he regularly goes to the gym.

    There are several who have posed in muscle magazines shirtless.

        Everyone minus Jack Black and Joseph Quinn as Eddie Munson (intersection of line cook and elf prince only) is a hunk in my book. Jeremy Allen White can be argued either way, granted. But if people think the rest aren’t hunks they have an unrealistic body standard imho.

        Especially putting Cavil as Geralt on a list of supposed “non-muscle hunks”? Nonsense.

          But yeah, cavil, near his superman size, is a physique that is difficult to obtain without chemical help for sure. Steroids have really warped society’s view of what size most people can get.

            Hey, I love Jack Black as much as the next guy. But you gotta be honest, he’s simply not a muscle hunk. He’s got the sauce, just not that one.

        One of those dudes literally didn’t drink water for unhealthy periods of time in order to make his muscle definition stand out more on camera.

            Henry Cavill for The Witcher:

            This schedule culminated in complete water restriction on the final two days, including the day of shooting the shirtless scenes. Cavill explained that the goal was to make his skin “sit on the muscles” for optimal visual impact, a tactic commonly used by fitness models for photo shoots.

            […]

            Describing the ordeal on The Graham Norton Show, Cavill admitted the experience was intense and taxing. “By the last day, I could smell water nearby,” he joked, emphasizing just how miserable he felt. The extreme dehydration was so draining he dubbed himself “the most miserable person on the planet.”

    Going and getting swole will still get you women but not because of your big muscles in most cases. The dedication and follow through needed for that demonstrates value. Other hobbies are the same way. Of course some women like huge muscled men or cars or d&d or guitars or whatever but the ability to be both interested in and interesting about something is more attractive than the results.

    You hit the gym everyday and you’ll get way more compliments from men than women. Same if you have some sweet car. It’s the effort to attain that super nice back and thick heavy lats that women respond to more so than the muscles themselves in most cases.

    Doing something is more interesting than doing nothing. Plenty of guys without hobbies or interests will still find mates but it’s harder to get someone to want to know you and get to the point where they love your interiority without some kind of interest. Touch grass, join like minded people for activities, enjoy yourself and the rest will follow.

    Tldr.
    Slay orcs, cook food, go into the glimmer on a military mission then return potentially infecting Natalie Portman go to avenge a family member killed by the Lannisters and you too can be the middle guy (whoever that is)

      I don’t think anyone in this picture played in Annihilation. The bottom picture is Pedro Pascal from The Last of Us

        Edit: because of the mandalorian

      According to this chart you may have to. All I see are moustaches. I think you should double down on the scruff and go for dwarven. Don’t be a victim of our predominantly elfonormative culture.
