The male body stereotypes?

Post Reply New Topic

Just the fact that people defend such a barbaric and weird practice like circumcision is ridiculous. Let the kid decide if he wants his dick mutilated when he grows up.

^^My parents let me decide. They said I could get it done any time I wanted. I appreciate that, especially because I never wanted to! Being uncircumcised, even in America, is not in ANY way a disadvantage.

the preferable penis size differs between cultures actually. The ancient greeks thought small penises were great. and instead larger penis sizes were seen as funny or even barbaric for example

About circumsicion well as far as i know - which is not really that much - children around the globe are being brainwashed about it. Sometimes it might be used for medical reasons , but i do think the practice should be banned or somehow prohibited at least for children. Great now i will read the wikipedia article about it

Seriously i don't think most people care, it is genitalia after all and it has to be a little ugly,we can't help it . If a partner turns you down and cites those things as reasons I' d think that its just a lie to avoid any other further exlanations.

Muscle mass and fitness will make you more appealing but you won't be at risk of discrimination (workplace, healthcare, relationships )because you are not an athlete. There still lies a problem on the fitness community, people seem to confuse natural achiavable fitness and various-substance-induced fitness (as you have already stated). There's a huge drug dealing behaviour going on in gyms . As time passes opinions tend to become stricter (or more distorted) on that matter too, people spit at eachother terms like fat, overweight and obese even though they are medically fine. I consider those anti-fat people stereotypes , which are more generalised that just male body stereotypes.

Other than that the worse thing that can happen to a male, appearance-wise, is really short stature . Has there ever been a culture kind enough to accept short men , I wonder. People often address the issue as a bizzare exotic problem of asia, well in the west we surelly got our fair share .

I'm naturally really skinny. Muscle mass is obviously different & tone isn't troubling me but I have to guess there's at least more than 1 'ideal' bone structure. What does unconventional athleticism count for?

unconventional athleticism counts for a lot, i think!

the look of a guy who works out at the gym is different from the look of a guy who works out doing something else (more fun and interesting).

While I'm straight, and therefore hardly an authority on what would be appealing in the male body sex-whise, I figure that a physique born from actual labour rather than obsessive gym-sculpting should be preferrable. Hence why my current daily workout features two large water containers filled with 20 litres each, and walking. Lots and lots of walking.

Also trying the periodic fasting thing. Surprisingly easy so far.

Building muscle = destroying muscle & the right balance of fast twitch/endurance muscle can make anyone stronger than they appear but I'm wondering specifically about female opinions on what the thresholds might be between body types.

I guess I was also inevitably wondering if/when that constitutes an archetypical look. For one example, how much obsession do the fun sports take before they too effectively become gyms? I spent a while in high school trying that out but I get a lot more from bikes or skis. Of course I constantly hear girls are less visual & so fourth so what about exceptions to that rule?

The stereotypical shape of a man is the inverted-triangle (V-shape) body type, which is having broad shoulders and a wide chest, tapering down to a slim waist and hips.

Though is that the only stereotype?
