How true is this?

Cues of upper body strength account for most of the variance in men's bodily attractiveness

Estimates of physical strength determined over 70% of men's bodily attractiveness. Additional analyses showed that tallness and leanness were also favoured, and, along with estimates of physical strength, accounted for 80% of men's bodily attractiveness. Contrary to popular theories of men's physical attractiveness, there was no evidence of a nonlinear effect; the strongest men were the most attractive in all samples.

Body types men cheat on:

Hourglass figure and under 25

Yeah, we get it.

simeneta_two · 2022-01-02T16:27:33+00:00

You could literally condense the top part into three body types too—skinny, lean (but hourglass), fat (but hourglass).

Where are the women with no tits & ass or an apple shaped body?

AquaChip · 2022-01-02T15:53:50+00:00

Face and body frame is more important than weight or muscles mass honestly.

NarniaFox · 2022-01-02T16:18:31+00:00

Almost all women on these pictures have somewhat hourglass shape. Some have curvier lines, some don't, but they all have some waist. And they're young-ish, overall good-looking.

IAmDefinitelyNotFBI · 2022-01-02T16:59:25+00:00

To be fair, I don’t think many of those women would be their first choice. Men are just more willing to fuck people they either aren’t attracted to, or only slightly attracted to. Women don’t need to do this.

GwenXi · 2022-01-02T16:25:48+00:00

My body type is not up there.. lol.

badgersonice · 2022-01-02T17:04:01+00:00

Women have more varied tastes than you’re giving them credit for. Like, come on, at bare minimum, how on earth have you not noticed that skinny rock stars and pretty boys get laid like tile?

Loads of women really don’t need the big dehydrated steroid bulky cut look in dudes— to a large extent, the biggest fans of really muscly cut dudes are men. In general, a healthy dude who does some exercise or labor (so he’s not skin and bones), with shoulders broader than his waist and hips is probably gonna be fine body-wise.

But also, this framing is really kinda more how men view women. Men are the ones who have this whole “butter-face” thing they’ll do where they kind of mentally decapitate the woman to consider only her body attractive. Women tend not to be able mentally chop men into separate pieces to find just a few parts of them attractive. Talking about “bodies women like” without caring about the rest of the dude doesn’t really align with how women’s sexuality usually works.

Women generally don’t see a guy’s body as hot separately from his face and how he moves and how he smells and how he sounds and his vibe/attitude very well. This is why most men shouldn’t rely on online dating: OLD platforms don’t allow men to showcase themselves in ways that would be appealing to more women.

2022-01-02T23:22:38+00:00

Men love women's bodies, they don't see women as people though.

Ok_Razzmatazz_1751 · 2022-01-02T16:40:07+00:00

What's wrong with preferring these types ?!? Idgi ?

However in the south I see alot of fat dudes procreating , having skinny wives . Then I see alot of fat women with skinny men . Having a bunch of babies too. So I'm not sure this post is the real formula for all folks.

1Here4Bach · 2022-01-02T15:57:14+00:00

All the men on this sub do is complain about fat women lol

hopesy123 · 2022-01-02T16:49:37+00:00

You forgot the skinny and scrawny men

TheWolfGirl23 · 2022-01-02T18:29:08+00:00

let’s not forget almost every woman in the photo is hourglass…y’all just as shallow, can’t even show an actual rectangle shape or an apple shape…?

TrueStorms · 2022-01-02T19:03:39+00:00

It’s true, men require the ideal WHR and proportions for women of any size and there are zero apple shaped women on that list. And all of them are young. Yup sounds right.

Flightlessbirbz · 2022-01-02T17:24:17+00:00

Lol #14 is considered “average”. Men are just as delusional, even more so

chilumibrainrot · 2022-01-02T17:28:47+00:00

false- i like em to be skinny as a skeleton and look like they're on the brink of starvation

Flightlessbirbz · 2022-01-02T22:56:47+00:00

First off, most men would call the women on the bottom row fat, at least the ones of the right half. Second, no apple-shaped or flat-chested women are pictured. They all have defined waistlines and most have average to big boobs, many of them fake. Men like either skinny women with a defined waist or curvy but not overweight women with big boobs and ass. So about the same level of variation as the men. The only fairly “average” bodies pictured are 15-19, and I don’t think men are that attracted to any of them. I mean yes they’ll stick their dick in anything but they will also find flaws in a supermodel.

justthankyous · 2022-01-03T03:21:49+00:00

I'm new around here, but based on my subjective experience, that's bullshit.

I'm an extremely hairy, slightly pudgy dude with twig arms and a round face who likes video games, comic books, pro wrestling and other nerd shit. I have never been to the gym in my goddamn life, I drink too much and eat a lot of cheese and it makes me gassy. My home has always been a pigsty. I have terrible fashion sense, like it's hilarious how poorly I pick clothes. While volunteering at a charity event, I asked the organizer what she wanted me to do and she told me her boss said to tell me to just try not to be "sweaty and weird' and I was like, "well, I can't make any promises." I usually forget to brush my teeth before bed. I have awful skin, like something is always pimply or rashy. I have a beard and usally don't groom it well. Did I mention I am hairy? It looks like I have a sweater on when I take my shirt off. Front and back. I've never had any muscular definition.

I'm clearly not any of those guys and never have been. I stopped dating in my early thirties; it seemed like everyone was settling down and I decided I was happier in my mess of a house with my Funkos and my dog. I lost my virginity at 19 so I was sexually active for about 12-13 years, although I took a break from dating for a little over two years after college because I had kind of a traumatic relationship around that time. Then I met a nice girl in a diner on vacation and while we didn't hook up or get involved then, I realized I wanted to date again and made an Okcupid account. All told I was dating and sexually active for maybe 9 to 10 years of my life. Primarily the last five years of my twenties.

All of that leads up to, despite being a very average looking guy, I could not tell you how many women I've slept with. I just lost count I'm honestly not trying to brag as with age and experience I sort of regret some of those encounters, I'm just saying I never had any trouble getting dates or laid when I was trying to even though it would not be out of the realm of possibility that I might be mistaken for an out of shape sasquatch if I walked through the woods shirtless. For most of the latter half of my twenties, I had a date every weekend, sometimes more than one, a few more serious semi open relationships that were emotionally meaningful and might have gone somewhere further if I had wanted kids and several recurring hook up buddies. I dated women of all sorts of backgrounds, ethnicities, body types, backgrounds and politics. Hell, I even had a short fling with the girl from the diner but we weren't compatible. I'm still in touch with most of the women who I saw more than a couple of times and most of them have gone on to be a lot more successful than me, lololol.

Plenty of women were evidently attracted to me, and I've never been muscular or particularly manscaped (quick courtesy trim on date night since I'm a hairy dude and maybe certain things might end up in someone's mouth is all I ever did) or even very handsome. Frankly, I'm kind of a mess and always have been lol.

So that meme is complete bullshit in my experience. Women and men are attracted to a wide range of humans.

Mostly people are attracted to people who they trust, have fun being around and who treat them like a human being. It can't be forced, you just hang out and sometimes it clicks for both of you and sometimes it doesn't. It's not rocket science, it's dating. Just don't take it so seriously, let the people around you be people and remember to laugh

Manjeric0 · 2022-01-02T15:50:00+00:00

Sounds about right... You have to remember that around 80% of men are "disgusting" to women.

Not.

Aggravating_Sea_140 · 2022-01-02T19:22:56+00:00

This exposes how body trends for women keep changing whilst objective beauty is laid down for men. Also the last two women? More often than not women who look like that are crazily shamed (unfortunately) on social media as if they don’t deserve to be respected.

daddysgotanew · 2022-01-03T02:57:38+00:00

100 percent accurate l. I’d do every woman in that collage minus the last 3. That’s how not picky men are.

Vtridolla · 2022-01-02T15:53:45+00:00

Not true at all what’s up?

dutchmetalhead17 · 2022-01-02T16:35:54+00:00

That third one isnt a dadbod

LillthOfBabylon · 2022-01-02T15:59:34+00:00

IDGAF, you guys are trying way too hard to ignore other aspects that make you undesirable. This is what I'm talking about: Shallow men are the ones most upset about "women being so shallow".

EDIT: As someone else mentioned, none of those people are fat, despite the fact obesity in the West is at 40%.

PuppyDontCare · 2022-01-02T16:55:18+00:00

JASON MOMOA DOESN'T HAVE A DAD BOD lol the guy is as ripped as Henry Cavil what are we talking about

Shredddz · 2022-01-02T21:34:38+00:00

Wrong. a fat women can not get a decent man, a non muscular men can get any women if hes attractive. Its about looking healthy first, than add the muscle on top to have additional points. Women are definitely not more picky when it comes to physique. every man who does not have some weird fetish wants a healthy female body, than additional shape and bonestructure adds points.

the guys with the fat women are just loosers, its not that they dont care, they find the fat disgusting aswell, they just simp anyway to get some companionship

Bandit174 · 2022-01-02T16:35:37+00:00

It might be slightly exaggerated, but it is absolutely true that there's a wider range of body types than can be attractive for women than for men. Even fat women are sometimes found attractive, sure it's more of a niche but its a significantly bigger niche than women who are attracted to fat men.

sammitysammitysam · 2022-01-02T17:40:27+00:00

Personally I think all body types can be hot, it's just about confidence! If Chris Evans had no confidence I wouldn't find him attractive, but a larger or a short skinny guy can both be attractive if they're confident. Love yourselves!

KikiYuyu · 2022-01-02T19:27:44+00:00

It's only true if you think social media is real life.

marshmallowmeringue · 2022-01-02T16:33:37+00:00

See, the ‘dad bod’ example here is ‘a bit muscly but not too much’ to me. I wouldn’t count it as a dad bod.

trueorfalsedmitry · 2022-01-02T17:36:14+00:00

The very best part of this post is all the, "That's not a dad bod!," going on.

Completely oblivious...

CorporalDavid · 2022-01-02T17:36:45+00:00

I mean, I guess it gives us a solid baseline to work towards lol

jackedclown_1 · 2022-01-02T18:13:41+00:00

I'd conquer heaven and hell for no. 8.

NoMarriageNoKids · 2022-01-02T18:16:45+00:00

As long as she's in the first 2 rows I'm good with it.

Also, that pic of Jason Mamoa is NOT a dad bod. That's a jacked dude in the off season.

rick-dicking-morty · 2022-01-02T18:38:50+00:00

IF THIS IS TRUE THEN WHY ARE SO MANY OBESE PEOPLE (WOMEN AND MEN) DATING

Bryan_Side_Account · 2022-01-02T19:11:46+00:00

I mean, not really? I see people finding all kinds of men and women attractive all the time. I wish that were more normalized.

januaryphilosopher · 2022-01-02T19:24:14+00:00

None of these guys are my type :(

SabineLavine · 2022-01-02T19:52:47+00:00

Not true at all in my experience. I know so many pudgy guys with hot wives and girlfriends.

just_nosey92 · 2022-01-02T21:01:59+00:00

I don't know how to feel about this lol 😆 I've seen men hit on every type of woman I'm between skinny to what this picture says is thick 😅. Lol 😆

Kitchen_Apartment · 2022-01-02T21:04:29+00:00

Most of the women have similar body shapes lol..some just have larger assets. There are more variations in female bodies because of boob sizes.

Also most women I know date outside of the huge pecs body type.

ffandyy · 2022-01-02T21:36:07+00:00

Not nearly as true as reddit dudes would have you believe

a14deadpool · 2022-01-02T21:40:24+00:00

The body types I like in women are usually.

Numbers-

2: Thin

3: Hourglass

4: Thin w/ assets

5: Fit/athletic

And finally number 6 thick and athletic.

Those 6 the others I usually ignore But my favorite ones are number 2, 3 and 5.

joe_iv_2002 · 2022-01-02T21:45:45+00:00

Not very.

FabulousFuchsbau · 2022-01-02T21:48:57+00:00

Why is Richard Brake not on this fucking list?!

OneAngryBlutbad · 2022-01-02T21:53:39+00:00

3, 4(wife has 4’s body type), 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14 and 15

Who’s the guy in the middle?

poetryofacigarette · 2022-01-02T22:16:39+00:00

Guess I fall into the thin category, so descriptive masterful chart 🙄

ChibsFilipTelfordd · 2022-01-03T02:11:57+00:00

Bottom row of women are disgusting

slashaholik · 2022-01-03T04:09:53+00:00

Okay but all these chicks' waists are smaller than their hips. The irony of this post considering a heck of a lot of us are not hourglass shaped or even pear shaped.

angerproblemsTM · 2022-01-03T04:46:21+00:00

Bro never once had a man simp for my body. (Flat chested, flat assed, mid size, rectangle). In fact I’ve kind of only been shamed for it.

trololol_daman · 2022-01-03T05:01:44+00:00

List would only be complete if the mens section specified “over 6’ only teehee”

cabbageprimate · 2022-01-03T05:35:33+00:00

If this were true, the south and midwest would have like no babies.

mortimelons · 2022-01-03T08:05:48+00:00

The same men who accuse women of going after the “same kind of man” going after the same kind of women.

Hourglass figures, long hair, not dark skinned and young.

Intense_Freshness · 2022-01-03T08:07:41+00:00

Look. I know I may be the exception but I don't like ripped men with broad shoulders. Definitely prefer someone who's just lean, even very skinny and has some strength but doesn't show it

BxGyrl416 · 2022-01-03T17:21:06+00:00

I don’t think the person that created this knows what “thick” means.
