This isn’t the female gaze. This is the male gaze. It’s men who are obsessed with the physicality of other men. Women, in the main, would much rather see a man who looks like he’d make himself a stack of buttered toast and let you steal a slice

Excellent point. In my case, as male, I wasn't the main target of the movie, but still, it moved something in me. I kind of felt my male-gaze tingling with all that sexiness.

Yeah. Muscle bound guys says “dumb as a bag of rocks” and “possible murderer.” Some definition is nice. But…most male upper body photos are for other body builders or gay guys.

Why in the world would I lust after a man whose attention to his looks and hours in the gym inspire me to compare myself unfavorably to him? Exhausting. I bet they have to eat a carefully monitored diet too, what a drag.

Female gaze. Partly (maybe largely?) due to his personality as well as looks.

Agree! I didn’t really find him particularly attractive until I started reading things about him and watching him in interviews - I don’t even think I know what his body looks like… wasn’t his butt in a scene at some point? 🤷 But annnywayyyeee, I have seen the light! Hehe

It's not really about physique, it's about why the image exists. The macho Wolverine photo exists for the same reason renaissance paintings of seductive nude women exist--to satisfy the gaze of men.

The male body builder physique is not particularly liked by women. It reminds me of a cross between grisly anatomy drawings, and those hilarious paintings of oddly square shaped cattle from the 18th and 19th centuries.

I don't find either of these men attractive! They both scream 'Look at me, Look at me!' and that turns me off. They look like they care more about how they look than what's in their heart. Maybe they are not selfish but this much muscle reeks of someone prioritizing looks over health or good deeds.

to be fair though, it does actually have a negative effect. on the actors. Hugh has gone on record saying that he hated doing the shirtless scenes for wolverine because each time they made him dehydrate severely until near the point of hospital

I never understood that. Have you seen the photos of him at the beach year or two after this movie was made? Bulking up for a super hero movie is one thing but he looks so much better when he was properly hydrated.

I once had a very, very long MRI for which they told me to bring a dvd because they had goggles, so, I brought the only one I had. Turns out, you can't hear any dialog over the machine noises, which how I realized it's a very static piece of film--just people standing there talking to each other.

Check out the 1980 (?) BBC miniseries with David Rintoul as Mr. Darcy and the radiant Elizabeth Garvie as Eliza Bennett. He plays the stern, awkward snob with a hidden soft heart perfectly. The understated, spare production is peerless.

Ah, but isn't this the whole issue? The perception of personality that goes with these body types? And that (perhaps) women prefer the personality of Darcy, rather than egocentric action heroes? Whereas men think of a set personality, and then think, what body would women prefer most with it?
jul 20, 2025, 1:55 am • 6 0 • view
Darcy was a superhero (in my mind) who saved the Bennets from ruin, but he did it in a quiet way rather than in a public, physical battle. His display of chivalry was far sexier and admirable than the ones the Marvel/DC men display.

It's interesting that the ideal male among males is now soaked in HGH, Tren, etc. The actor on the right openly admits he juices. 30% of men (30-50 age group, I recall) dye their hair. Male cosmetic surgery is on an exponential rise. This isn't about attracting women. It's a crisis of masculinity.

I think the point is just that the male gaze is the one that hyper-focuses on a rigid physical type and the female gaze tends to be more flexible and isn’t just flipping the subject from female extreme to male. The second part of the sentiment isn’t talking about a physicality but a character trait.

It's really fascinating to see how male power fantasies are so often criticized for being "for women." When, no, that massive, muscle-bound action hero is not a female fantasy. It's a fantasy about what (some) men want to be. The "love interest" is a male fantasy about who he wants to possess.

My best example of this is in Casino Royale where the male commentary is “here’s one for the ladies” when Daniel Craig comes out of the sea in a swimsuit. Whereas the really attractive thing he does is when Eva Green is crying in the shower and he gets in and sits with her.

Your assessment of Thor and Loki are one million percent correct. Huge chunks of the internet are devoted to Loki fanfiction written by women (and I’m sure also men) of all sexualities and gender identities.

With a side argument I saw once in the form of an article claiming the problem with the Thor movies, up until Ragnarok, was that they "appealed too much to women." They resent that Loki is more popular than Thor, I think, and this is partly why.

She's saying that the directors who shoot male actors like this don't do it for the female gaze. They do it because these actors/their characters are a power fantasy for men. Men think this is peak masculinity. Men want to look like this. Women's opinions don't factor into these depictions.
jul 20, 2025, 7:53 am • 11 0 • view
Now, this is a generalisation (not all men want to look like Wolverine), but this is the "perfect masculine man" image being sold to them. Something to work towards, to perfect their own masculinity. They may insist that women do find this hot, but if they do, it's incidental, and not the norm.

My mother used to love watching Magnum PI - never missed a show (she's in her 80's now). He would take his shirt off and she would swoon. That's the female gaze. My wife likes Outlander. Loved when Jamie took his shirt off or showed his butt. That's the female gaze. It exists.

In my experience, the female gaze is… cleanliness and hygiene. Like, no BO or weird stains on your shirt, and your toilet is the color of porcelain instead of shit and mold. Maybe some houseplants to demonstrate you prefer to keep things in your company alive, rather than dead.

An actual example is Chris Pine in Wonder Woman. There you had a female director so it’s truer to the definition of “female gaze”. I’m not aware of a big budget superhero film with both a female director and cinematographer. If such one exists that would be interesting to compare

Thinking about it some more Gina Prince-Bythewood’s “The Old Guard” and “The Woman King” both count. Female director + female cinematographer. Both are in the male action film vein. How does she portray “ideal male”? I will note that the romance in Guard was mostly queer, and in King felt tacked on

He can do what he wants with his body but I think he looks best when he's kind of jacked but still lithe. He's less graceful when he's super jacked. Chris Evans who has been built since not another teen movie said a perk of not being Capt America anymore is not having to be so muscular

The only athletes who look like this are bodybuilders, because bodybuilders are competing to see who can look the best, not who can perform the best. This physique is sub-optimal for any sort of actual athletic performance, it's why bodybuilders have to cycle between this and bulking.

being for male gaze vs female gaze does not mean "men/women are attracted to this". the male gaze is a patriarchal power fantasy where men are strong, domineering, active; women are beautiful, available, passive. female gaze is its anti-patriarchy negation. john berger's ways of seeing ep.2 is on YT

yes, though they have medical minders in the case of movie stars. i think jackman has strongly warned people against doing it. the effect also doesn’t work unless you drink copious amounts of water for weeks or months in advance to train your body to quit storing it. it’s all very impractical.

My first crush was on Harrison Ford around Empire/Raiders & they always found an excuse to show Indy shirtless at least once per Raiders movie. Humans experience a wide variety of attraction. Weird that movies have selected the one male form that most women are pretty "meh" on as their only example.

Uh, simple, women, are like men, they are driven by physical attraction first. I'm not saying when they want a real relationship that comes first, but it doesn't for men either when they want something long term.

And what makes you say the "idea physical body" for a straight woman is... Whatever that is ?

People can say "anecdotal evidence" as if what we see repeatedly and common sense don't have a role. I could say who says most men don't get turned on by female models. Would what you have learned from years of experience lead you to believe me?

What I see repeatedly is round married men with their wives at the market, and my common sense says "that much muscle cannot be healthy or comfy", so once again, Where did you get that from ? And my experience is men and boys drool over models pictures.

If anything you are the one bringing anecdotical evidence.

No, drr,what I said is you can't simply ignore lotscof data you see and input through years of life experience and dismiss it and simply call or "anecdotal evidence" as if that means it is all wrong. Otherwise I guess I am wrong that many people like eating ice cream. I just have anecdotal evidence

I can and I will because I have asked you twice where you got that and you couldn't give me the "data", while all my data of what I see and input through years of life experience is round married men with their wives at the market.

Those women likely married them in spite of that, or, as is often the case, the men put on the weight with age. Marriage is about more than looks. I'm speaking of simple physical attraction, go to a night club and see what guys the women are into. Many guys would gladly get fat if it was attrtve.

When your anecdotal evidence reads like r/ihavenochinandthefemoidswontdatemebecauseirefuseto washmyassbecausethatdbegay yeah it sounds like you're regurgitating Andrew Tate

There's no way you're real, lol Like how could you go on a "I hate fox news" rant while simultaneously regurgitating Andrew Tate?

Regurgitating that slime? Hell no. How do you conflate someone saying women are in fact attracted to stereotypical good looking men to him? Get a life. You seem fake.

You got no pfp, no selfies, no original cat pics, biographical data, and have been spending how long now telling women that you know what they want better than they do but you're not regurgitating Andrew Tate? Lol ok bot.

Rape still exists. In the US it is on the rise. 70000 rape babies since roe V wade removed (last time I checked) Female gaze is not a problem: it is not a threat of violence. Not rocket science: thus men are stupid. If them/they wasn't so linguistally complicated I disown my he/him.

And that's only the reported rapes. We all know that 3 out of 4 never get reported, out of fear & shame. I don't like the thought of dating a man that could break my neck with his bare hands, if he gets angry, I choose Bruce Banner, over The Hulk...

It's bullshit but great if feeding an inferiority angst/anxiety to punt out pointless supplements, to excuse unrefinedly 'macho' dominance culture, to justify 'strong man' fascism, to second guess difference as 'other' or to cast men as a bland, homogenic mass.

yes, that's why women fall for all the iterations of Mr Darcy, cuz his big guns. 😂

If the enduring popularity of Mr. Darcy proves anything, it's that the sexiest thing a man can do is say "You were right and I'm sorry."

I’d bet a decent number of women still like fit men more than cuddly men (though personality and overall chemistry more important). But the super absurd hyper cut ripped physique like these photos are 100% male fantasy bullshit that just is a million miles away from the everyday persons real life.

Guys that look like that are either on steroids and prone to roid rage or spend so much time in the gym that they’re boring. This is to show off for other men.

You are underselling it. These actors literally dehydrate themselves before filming so that their muscles will show more. No one looks like that in everyday life.

Myself, I'd say Jackman looks way better in the first Xmen film, if only because he doesn't look like he's being electrocuted. Also, he doesn't look like you'd get splinters from cuddling him.
