Damn, I'm extremely gay and I didn't even get to celebrate myself during Pride.

Next year.

I find muscle mommies so hot, but I'm already LGBTQIA (NB transmasc and pan)

Me, a bi, nonbinary, transfem: Oh I'm gay for them alright 👀

"increase of this body type..." Or perhaps anatomy's always been more complicated and more variable than the greek statue dipshit thought it was. How much time do these guys actually spend looking at people?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago

they spend 8-10 hours a day studying Japanese anatomical art

this is so utterly stipid. women are attracted to athletic men, why shouldn't it be the other way round? physical fitness is a sign of health and therefore desirable

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago

What are you talking bro? If woman big strong, means she not small and weak and need big strong man (me) to protect her from all dangers and get validation for my increasingly fragile sense of self worth put in place by generations of archaic social conditioning.

Why do they have those statues as their profile picture every single time?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

They think they would have been a knight or philosopher or some warrior if they went back in time. Odds are they would be a peasant being ground into the dirt by nobles and still kissing their asses. It's because they love imagining a different reality where they wouldn't be the wimpy ass spineless cowards they are now.

Fetishizing ancient Greece and Rome as the birthplace of Western Civilization whose ideals our immoral society's have degraded from.

Alright. But why are those a symbol of that?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They are often extremely muscular statues with god like bodies. The Romans and the Greeks themselves were believed to have painted them in all kinds of colors but along the way they came to represent whiteness as the most pure and perfect form. It's basically the literal version of whitewashing history.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago

There's also some worship of (an idealized form of) ancient Rome and Greece here. They see their particular theme park version as a peak example of a society unmarred by the millieu of things they consider dege[...]ate.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago

Yep, this straight man even knows who that is in the picture.

Emily Rolfe has one of the most beautiful physiques on the planet.

Form is function.

Most of the time I'm just glad that my brain is like: 'that person is hot' regardless of gender and I don't ever have to worry about how me liking another person is perceived by some weirdos

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago

These dudes are always the weirdest closet cases… I feel like they like femboys because they have secondary traits that society has deemed “feminine” and need a way to explain how they aren’t LGBTQ+ by suggesting the opposite is somehow true. Just accept everyone is on the spectrum to some degree and carry on.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 months ago

gay culture has gotten hold of you

Yo gay culture hmu, wya come hold me

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 months ago

It turns out straights were the gayest of all

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Man quarantine did worsen misogyny

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 months ago

Actually if you're a man who isn't attracted to this, you're probably gay. I mean...

DAMN

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago

Or what if it means: MORE LESBIANS!

[–] [email protected] 23 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

Yeah this is fun to dunk on and all but it’s weird and slightly annoying to act like this is a common thing with straight men. It isn’t. Majority of men seeing those women would talk about how hot they are.

Idk why but Twitter is a cesspool with every Heterosexual stereotype out there and magnified to make it seem like it’s more common than it is.

If this were some dumb shit about how cooking and liking the arts meant you were gay then yes it would be more realistic. I hear that shit all the time.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago

I just read through the thread and tried to mentally filter for people saying it's a common thing. Didn't find anything particularly overt in that way. Don't think anyone was making claims as to how common it is either way, but I guess I could have missed it.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

they just be catering to incels

BREAKING NEWS:

Being attracted to twinks is now straight. We have talked to local twinks at a pride parade to interview them on what they think of this.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Can someone here use an AI to say this in Tricia Takanawa's voice

[–] [email protected] 26 points 4 months ago

Gay - it’s the new straight

[–] [email protected] 26 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The ancient masculinity of being repulsed by your wife who toils in the fields with you, filthy, sweating, and strong.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 months ago

Anyway I want to be rocking with someone where we can bench press each other.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 4 months ago

It's telling to me how fragile the gender binary is when people feel the need to police attraction lines based on such arbitrary physical characteristics as how much someone does bodybuilding or fitness.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 4 months ago

uncritical support for the manosphere in this topic, leave all the muscle mommies to me

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 months ago

Some men like their women to be a bad ass. Must not be man enough to be with a when like that.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 4 months ago

that body type does lead to a rise in homosexuality in me though hexbear-lesbian

[–] [email protected] 21 points 4 months ago

If snu-snu is gay I don’t wanna be straight.

Ancient Masculinity

Cool. Lets talk about hygiene in ancient times. Before makeup, shampoo, toothpaste and modern concepts of "femininity" existed.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 months ago

Ancient Greeks and Romans (as this guy clearly idealizes, considering the pfp) were dandy as fuck, tbh. Gay (or bi) as fuck, too. They liked their masculinity, and they fetishized it arguably a whole lot more than femininity, with predictable (sexual) results.

The "ancient times" this guy so loves, never existed outside his mind- or perhaps they did, but not with the "ancient Romans/Greeks/most ancient 'civilized' folk." The notions of "masculinity" he subscribes to, in fact, would probably have seen this guy derided (accurately in this case) as a "barbarian..."

This guy's notions of masculinity are not only inspired by, if not wholly formed from the "barbarian" asscrack of Eurasia (western and northwestern Europe, though I'd call the genuine barbarism of the west a more recent thing, a product of 500 years of unparalleled barbaric behavior, perhaps much more considering the Crusades, both northern and southern) as the ancient civilizations saw it- but they're inspired by the rot that festered in that asscrack following Christianization, the collapse of the Roman Empire at the hands of "barbarians," and the gradual abandonment of much of the actual merits of that time (hygiene and sanitation, for instance).

I've thought about this before. I don't think my sexual urges would have overcome the absolute ass stank produced before we discovered soap, regular bathing, and brushing teeth. I do seem to have a stronger sense of smell than most and find most people pretty gross already.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You'd probably be smell blind to it. It's a very different thing if you grew up used to it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

Yeah, clearly, folks didn't mind, or none of us would be here. I just can't imagine.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

same.. but then again if you never knew any different then maybe you'd be MORE attracted to stank than the average person? I've wondered that myself because i really can't handle BO

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Agreed, that's what's made me question it. Is it social conditioning? Idk, but I get unreasonably angry at people who are funky in inappropriate contexts. I still find it very unpleasant (including my own) in situations that are understandable/appropriate, but the anger isn't there.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

yeah im the same way

today when my partner and i checked into a hotel the front desk guy smelled of BO stronger than I've ever smelled in my life and it immediately put me in a bad mood because it's so offensive

my partner commented as soon as we were outside that she couldn't believe the pungent BO on that guy and she knew I was dying the whole time he was telling about our room and the breakfast etc

i don't get mad when someone steps off a plane and stinks because what can you do? but at work when your job is to interact with people is a different story

again I'm far more sensitive to it than most others and i do my best to ignore it but today was a whole different level

[–] [email protected] 44 points 4 months ago

If you're attracted to this body type in a woman it could be because the gay culture has gotten ahold of you

That's true, you could be attracted to this body type because you're a lesbian.
