The stripes are making my brain do that thing where when the image moves ever so slightly, it appears that their pants are vibrating.

They actually do.

Kinda shows how fucked up our beauty standarts got…
JacksonLamb@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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.

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?

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.

Every one of them looks like Gollum’s uncle, what are you saying

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.

Whoever #2 was thinking about.

I spend copious hours in the gym because I never ever want to look like this. I was thinking about skipping today because it’s raining, so thanks for the motivation.

Fuck it.
today’s freezing, but I’ll go to the gym too :)
Plebcouncilman@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
Hardest thing is getting there. Once you are in you kinda forget you didn’t want to go. Except when you don’t and you half ass it. But doing a little bit is better than doing nothing is what I say.

Don’t worry, we all look the same when we are dead.

What’s wrong with them?
sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 10 months ago
They don’t look like a modern social media influencer

I would describe it as skinny fat but these guys are not fat, so I think the problem is that they have very little muscle all around.

#2 is packing.

He could fuck himself in the belly button.
bizza@lemmy.zip 10 months ago
I was about to comment that #2 either has as raging boner or it’s just like that
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 10 months ago
“No, no, I don’t have a boner! It’s just like that!”

has to, as he has no beard.

No tash = big member… That explains a lot…

I watched a Steve McQueen movie a few weeks ago [The Thomas Crown Affair.] There’s a scene where Steve and Faye Dunaway are lounging in a steamroom. When the movie came out, McQueen was considered one of the most virile men in Hollywood. Compared to today’s standards, he looked kinda scrawny.
