    I saw a great quote once:
    ‘Look at size zero runway models and tell me it’s not an industry ran by gay men.’
    Because they’re all so slim, have no bust, are encouraged to have short or no hair. Highly androgynous.

      two types:
      slim no bust, twinks
      and
      hypermasculine men with huge muscles bulging out...
      you gotta remember that original professional "body building" was invented in the late victorian era
      where they get all these "muscle men" to get into a private room
      take their clothes off
      and "Get rated"
      by other men...
      think about that... who the hell would be interested in doing something like this in the late Victorian era?

      Recently, when I see guys calling women with any amount of womanly features “fat”, I’ve started asking them who they find attractive. So far 3/4 all showed me women almost exactly like that. No chest, thighs, hips, or anything like that. Just a pretty face and long hair.

The majority of shonen anime heroes are pretty cut, certainly in excellent physical condition, but you aren't going to find the huge, bulky muscle that you will find in American media. And let's be frank, being huge is not exactly practical anyways, there's a reason why they're called "glamour muscles," they're purely for show. Look at any of the top martial artists in the world and you'll see they're certainly muscular, but not THAT big.

    I'm not allowed to use that word in a UA-cam comment, but I remember back in the late 00's when that term was used in the MMORPG community (particularly World of Warcraft) to refer to a low level character created on a high level account, thus benefitting from all the resources that player had accumulated and being able to get through early game easily. Then one day it was used for gay men, and the term disappeared from gaming circles entirely. And it always kind of stuck in my mind that the same word was used for such radically different meanings, and the thought of how they might somehow be linked making me somewhat queasy.

    Men can’t help it if they are built lanky, but they can determine the caliber of their character (which is more essential to enduring masculinity).
