Short and skinny was always ugly, I get it.
There are actually just two types on this list – fat or fit….?
1:37 isnt this the guy from jurassic park
okay my turn
okay my turn
In the 70’s it was enough to just be thin or average. In the 80’s it was about being body builder big. Nowadays it’s about lean muscle and definition.
Body types
When it was difficult to be fat, being fat was popular. Now that it’s difficult to be in shape, being in shape is popular.
Unless you’re a woman. In which case, no matter how you look, or how much or how little effort you put into your appearance, you’re "perfect".
The perfect body is Ben Swolo
okay my turn
Best body = hardest to have
I just want a huge head and smell real real bad. Ill be the leader of the pack!
Eh…men secure of themselves arent worried what some article says "whats in".
The perfect man is going to be deelicious.
Is fairy entertaining watch.
Rocking my fat ass Dad bod 🤣
Greek, Renaissance and 70 are the best, healthy but natural
I’m skinny lol
Perfect is Bruce Lee if you ask me
Skinnyfat
okay my turn
Duh 🙄 It’s literally GIGACHAD!!!!
me after reading comment section like ppl are rly kind to males👏

as a woman I don’t get it… the thing people have with muscles, honestly it’s the last thing I care about a man; just be healthy and confident in your skin and you’ll be fine
I am going to die alone but that’s okay.
Building that much of muscle and losing that much of fat is not so possible even for beginners. I have been training for the past 3 years and I am no where near those guys. Later I found out that this is all anabolics shit these guys have been using and claiming to be natural
Seth rollins has the perfect body
@katolove24 👏
Lol actually you can get developed like the ancient greeks including the Apollon belt…example google Eugen Sandow
I just wanna have that heroin chic look but also be a little muscular and toned bruh.
Yeh in the late 1800s Eugen Sandow started the more athletic look for men
Dad bods are interesting since mom bods are seen as repulsive but we revere a men in any form. It fits well with the patriarchy and mysogyny of society that we adore one and shame the other.
Well…. seeing these dudes tells me I should give up now 😂😭
1990s – nowadays
To me the sexiest part of the male body is the shoulder’s from behind…thick, strong, manly. Then the arms, strong and powerful so you feel safe and secure in them! Long body and legs that are just amazing! Then beautiful eyes and sexy, pouty lips just full enough to melt you…..yeah I married that guy 32 years ago! I’m getting old and he’s becoming distinguished….I used to be so gorgeous but as a mamma and grandma, wife , housewife, career girl and all that goes with it…well we get old! If you’re as lucky as me he will love you eternally and still see the beauty that was, is and shall always be. God bless to all!
Which style do you see becoming popular again for "the look" for men?
okay my turn
Being physically fit is sexy no matter the body
Dad bods is vomit worth
Man…charles atlas sounds like me.. literally exactly like me, the 95 and everything I’ve gained around 10 pounds of muscle and since Im a ectomorph I look huge🤭 gotta love the ups and downs of genetics
Obviously the Greeks were right. Everyone else is just lazy.
What about a handsome brain?
okay my turn
Men who were idealized 2020: *Timothy Chalamet and Matthew Gray Gubler*
My favorite body type is healthy.
Men are really more physically attractive, of course women wont admit it, & there’s stigma for men to say it..but even in the animal kingdom, the males are more physically striking, Lions have manes, Stags got beautiful antlers, Birds have colorful feathers, Rams got nice horns etc.
Its much more easy for any girl to be ‘beautiful’ right now, than for men.
See, since at least 8 or 10 years… round girls are considered hot, while it was not always the case. It started with hip hop music videos(big fat a**), which put girls like that(that few years ago would be considered fat) on the fashion map. For us men, being slim ,fit and muscular in a metrosexual era…its always going to be more difficult to maintain. For girls, a few pounds of surplus its not even noticeable these days. The girl just has to put on a legging…
Also there is much more stuffs available now like make up things for girls..its much more easy and available to anyone in any place on earth with also things like manicures, pedicures…hairstyles etc. Us men, no option as we have to hit the gym.
Physically its more easy to be considered hot for a woman than a man.
okay my turn
From around 10,000 to 8,000 years ago I believe those who were more fit were the preferable ones as many people still lived hunter gatherer life styles
