Do girls like "manly men"?

[Blayze]

Nobody likes a bitch.

[unbound]

I was thinking that in the other day: During the 80's/90's movies and even in some parodies nowadays, we see girls really liking "manly men" - those bastards that have big beards, a lot of muscles, a lot of chest hair, and do manly stuff. Of course, in real life, a manly man is different of those who we see in movies and things like that (Kenshiro from HnK, schwarzenegger in most of his movies, that fucking guy that follows Tirion and Jaime in GoT, etc).


Do women like manly men in real life, or guys that act like one? or do they prefer effeminate men?

You will find any number of women that is attracted to pretty much any type of man. Some prefer "manly" men, some prefer nerds, some prefer jocks, some prefer beards...heck some women actually like bald guys.

My brothers are both bald and it only increased their attention from women it seems. Also them being social and more mature helps ofc.

"evolution"

what I mean by that is for the past however many years it took for evolution to bring us to where we are women traditionally looked for qualities in men that made them good hunters / providers... muscle, being active, taking charge, having initiative.

I'll let Dr.Futa look after you then, ok?

[ArguesWithStrangers]

Wait, when did we start letting women voice their opinions on things other than their favorite kitchen appliances?

Is she hot?

I just find it fascinating that SJWs who have had few (if any) sexual relationships think they know more about women than men who have slept with dozens over 20+ years

Why let reality intrude on your little fantasy of how things should be, right?

I think people who have slept with dozens over 20+ years, and ended up single, know negative amount of information about both women and men. Funny how they boast their complete inability to learn.

The idea that men and women are "coded" to like certain characteristics in partners is a myth.

It is not even a myth, since a negligible percentage of people seems to take it seriously. More like, it is someone's joke that was taken seriously by some folks...

[spinner981]

You know, there are some other personality types between 'manly man' and 'effeminate'.

[May90]

I find it amusing that the regressive folks in this thread, through tear-stained faces, are calling others "triggered."

Not the part where they mock trigger warnings, because TWs are real and helpful and only dumb people think they're bad.

No, the part where they ignore how obviously emotionally wounded they are that anyone would think their wildly inaccurate theories on how people operate are the stuff of lunacy.

TLDR: A lot of clueless men ITT. Not much else to see.

It is a gaming forum... There is a lot of people with insane ideas detached from reality here, naturally.

Your lack of logic would be hilarious if it wasn't obviously the last defense of the arrogant inexperienced teenager

You're saying someone who enjoys cars, and has driven dozens of cars for over 2 decades, knows nothing about cars because he didn't decide to only drive 1 for the rest of his life at the exclusion of all others

Also for someone who claims to reject traditional notions (including, presumably, "one partner for life"), that's also some pretty backwards traditional thinking; but then you are very confused

science the male-dominated establishment that, more and more often, gets proven wrong.

That's pretty much all the information needed to understand where your delusional and quite clearly angry beliefs come from

Is she hot?

No, and she has a vagina. Is that a problem for you?

[Azadina]

Girls only like men who stand in fire.

Are you the one who caused me to waste healing cooldowns by standing in fire?!!

I think most women like assertive men. When i first starting dating after my divorce i found most women liked it when I'd come pick her up decide the restaurant , make the first move that sort of thing. I notice lots of my friends saying things like well I dont know where do you want to eat or its up to you.

I think being an 80s action stereo type or a metro ladyboy doesnt matter. so i would consider manliness in your attitude more. women can like all shapes styles and sizes , but a can do fearless attitude that makes them feel cared about and safe matters the most.

More like, someone who has jerked off inside dozens cars throughout 20 years, but never actually managed to start a single one of them, saying that they know something about cars - makes a reasonable person do this:



And, mate, you are the one for traditional notions. I don't care whether you are single or not, or how many people you have slept with - but for someone who preaches about traditional crap, you certainly haven't been very successful at practicing it.

That's his SOP in a nutshell, claims to be an academic too. Makes sense in a way, all things considered.

The inexperienced part is the label that rings most true, so often his rebuttals come down to "I've never seen" or "I'm not aware of" or the like, as though that is the standard on which all veracity is established. Always amusing.

... Just as guys, girls can have different tastes and values and priorities. How is this difficult to comprehend?

This is pretty much it here. It isn't as simple as just girls liking manly men or more feminine men, people have different tastes. Some women like nerdy men, some like jocks, some like skinny/fit men some like thicker men, some like short men, some like tall, etc.

Women are humans just like us men and humans aren't black and white we're a rainbow of colors, consist of different sizes and shapes.
