  To me they look totally normal, average. Beauty standards changed a lot and continue so do since the dawn of time.

    Sure. But also we know what an active body looks like and it’s not like this. They look like normal guys who don’t get much excercise. Look at people living in pre industrial tribes, Greco Roman beauty standards etc. not saying it’s wrong to look like that, but I personally do not want to look like that. I think we look best with a little bit of muscle on.

      It’s totally fine for me if you want to look like one of those Roman or greek statues but I don’t think the (above) average greek or todays indigenous people look(ed) much different from the guys in the post, eg Yanomami for reference: images.app.goo.gl/xR5KMPCo6XMwnQne6

        Cmon that photo you linked makes my point exactly. The tribesmen clearly have better muscle mass.

    I think working out and eating healthy is a good trend and blood work is happy for it, and don’t need some super crazy work out plan to look better.

    But the whole cosmetic surgeries and steroids which aren’t needed to be healthy is definitely overboard for the regular person who aren’t making living off their looks or athletic performance is overboard.

    I remember discussing this in private school, I suggested its possible use was for portable masturbation on long trips lol.

  Everyone of them has more muscle than the average man today. They don’t have the relatively low body fat most men today have. The strangest thing about them is the barrel chest and swollen gut thing that each of them has going on.

  Yeah, most of those guys look like they have a lot of visceral fat (they don’t have waists). Only the two on the right look healthy
