Kinda shows beauty standards are completely arbitrary and context dependent.

Bigorexia is a real thing nowadays. The male body standard inflation on social media is just wild… unless you’re on gear, cut down to 6% body fat and in good lighting you’d get ratio’d into oblivion

I wonder how well a 1950s Mr Universe Sean Connery would do today?

what in the fuck is that. I look better and I never workout. I work desk job 50+ hrs/week. I’m supposed to be mr universe :(

Do you look better than that, or do you look like you suck off a dude for discount tren?

I wish more people would be open about it. Alan Ritchson is one of the few Hollywood celebrities that has candidly spoken about his use of exogenous testosterone to prepare for his role as Reacher, but clearly so many others are getting help. I’m in my late 50s trying to add muscle mass, and it’s a huge challenge. I’d say that I’m better off than all of the men in this 1919 photo, but not by that much.

I know those words, but I don’t think they’re being used in a manner to which I’m accustomed.

I’d rather have my 1% body fat skinny arms then synth arms.

They can tell just by looking that I don’t take steroids right? Like I don’t have to actually talk to them?
Fetus@lemmy.world 11 months ago
You know what? I’m gonna not take steroids even harder.

I was able to ascertain the meaning, but I enjoyed your summary regardless!

Every one of them looks like Gollum’s uncle, what are you saying
scoobford@lemmy.zip 11 months ago
They’re saying that our current ideas of male beauty have been warped heavily by drugs and plastic surgery such that we consider naturally attractive men to look unremarkable.
Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I’m all for a low bar on male attractiveness - handsome is as handsome does. But, these fellas look barely this side of healthy

You may have spent too much time online.

If anything, it shows how naive and credulous we became. Old photos with completely made up rubbish captions are now a staple of social media.
