WP: Women rate strongest men most attractive, linear relationship strength/attractiveness

Thanks, all us idiot meatheads didn't know what all of this data meant.
I mean, this study seems to say that there IS a standard for attractiveness at least among that group.
So games aren't male power fantasies then, but college female sex fantasies*.

There's definitely some deep down the anime hole that would need that to be made clear. I'm not sure they'd have era accounts though.
I mean, sure, but that's just called "settling" or learning to value other aspects than physical attractiveness. Doesn't mean that what the person finds to be physically attractive changes, though.
Considering this is a no duh article it's be far more interesting to see how this relates to women who are attracted to women.
Or how there's an upper limit. I know no women who would describe a body builder as peak attractiveness of the male body.

Not surprising at all.
What about for guys who are strong but not lean? Favored or less favored over guys who are slim but not muscular?

ah lol. I quit reading the article at "they only looked at pictures"
Yes please. This needs to be a requirement.
Yeah, yeah, we're all beautiful on the inside.
Turns out only some of us are fuckable though.
I'd venture a guess that lean isn't the end all, it's preferred but not required. You could be fit but not lean and I'm sure those in the lean camp would still date you. It seems if you take care of your body and are active then your chances of being liked are better. Just don't overdo it.
We should stop with this broadbrush stroking nonsense where certain academic careers are "nerds" just because. It's demeaning and is part of the reason anti-academic mindsets run amok in American society
This is also a very surface level study it's just here's pictures rank attractiveness...
A far more in depth study would be how personality, intelligence and whatever intersect in the end in terms of dating and long term relationships.

Well what's funny is that according to a study I once saw, men, by and large, find women around 20-something the most attractive. This effect does not change much as they age.
With women, it's quite different. They said to prefer men much closer to their own age as they got older.
Not sure if those results got replicated anywhere but it certainly SOUNDS true.
Of course, what people go for in relationships as they age and what they would actually want to fuck if they COULD are two very different things.
what is this image meant to even mean?
People who take care of themselves eat shit?

Jokes are used to weaponize and normalize destructive mindsets. You're not doing anything particularly helpful nor are you genuinely deconstructing any damaging notion by posting something like that.
But between two bodies of the same age, wouldn't the fit one win out over the other one?
Ya they made it pretty clear that they weren't making any kind of scientific prognostications based on anything other than surface level physical attractiveness. It'd be interesting to do further studies on this and other deeper traits and see how they line up.
Why does he have such red sinister eyes?

Anecdotally I find American women are way more into the buff look than European women. Probably something to do with football (soccer) being the dominant sport here and American football over there.
Yeah that's the other thing... the study sample is not diverse at all.
It was actually originally meant to be a joke about people chasing "gains" (weight gains) over increased performance or health.
Also it's just a dumb joke.
I think we act like health and beauty are separate concepts, two different sliders in an RPG game, but they really aren't.
You can greatly increase your perceived attractiveness by getting in shape.

There is no standard, but there is an ideal. Women are evolutionarily wired to prefer taller, stronger, broad-shouldered men. Just because we don't always end up with a mate with our ideal body type doesn't mean we're not attracted to that mate, but it also doesn't mean that the ideal has disappeared.
As people get older, a variety of other factors (including personality, stability, and wealth) will take higher priority when choosing a mate over chiseled abs, but for a 20 year old living in a dorm?
Life is an upper body business, bro.
Nobody but the Westside GOMAD fart buddies who struggle to find appropriately fitting pants care about max squats.
Bench, though. As the Brofessor said, no one cares what your name is, unless it starts with "315" and ends with "for 10"
So this is a study of women ranking purely men's bodies? The photo in the article doesn't even show the guys head, lol!
