Do women even appreciate the male form/male physique?

[ADFSDF1996]

Are straight women even sexually attracted to a man by looking at him? A lot of women that claim to like looking at a man's abs, hands, shoulders, biceps etc say it's just because they can feel protected by them, not because they actually find the man's body parts visually appealing like some of us straight guys can find women visually appealing. Even when it comes to looking at a man's face, they say they find a man's face "attractive" because it shows health, not because they find a man's face visually appealing. However, a lot of straight women are more attracted to women than they are men. That's why I wonder if men aren't as attractive as women. I personally do find the female form visually appealing, I don't find the male form appealing at all. Ever wonder why the male "beauty" pageants aren't popular. I hear that the audience of male beauty pageants are gay men. Maybe I have the wrong idea about women. Maybe since women are a different gender, they have a different perception of us men. Maybe through a woman's perspective, they can appreciate men like us men can appreciate women. As you can see, it's become my obsession to try understand women, even though I know that men and women will probably never completely understand each other.

Even on yahoo answers, many women claim that the female body is more "aesthetically appealing".

I know women naturally have lower testosterone and more estrogen, so I know that they won't feel sexually aroused by looking at men, at least that's what my health teacher in high school told me.

I'm a straight guy, but I'm pretty sure straight women do find the male body attractive, muscles show strength but they also look good. And if you ask most girls they won't be attracted to very muscular guys.. Which proves it's not just about seeing muscles and thinking about strength but it is actually the physical attraction.

I may be a straight guy but I'll see other guys and admire what they got. I think the masculine form is attractive in its own way just like the feminine form. I know you see strip clubs with women in them everywhere, but out of all my friends.. The only ones who have gone to see strippers are girls, you'd be surprised.

[ADFSDF1996]

I wonder why those women go to strip clubs.

[ConsultantIsBack]

Hot women do love Hot guys, yes

[ADFSDF1996]

Why though, is it because they like how the man's body looks (like how us straight guys like the female body) or is it because they feel protected by men?

[ConsultantIsBack]

I mean all the above i think, sexual attraction, feel protected, etc.

[ConsultantIsBack]

thanks MHO sir

[ADFSDF1996]

You're welcome.

[LaFemmeFatale]

I am straight appreciate beauty of the man. If i was an artist i wouldn't be tired to paint their body and face. I am attracted to the males not because i want to be protected but because i am just attracted by them, i like their features and it is hard to explain why. I find male physique extremely appealing.
I appreciate woman body as well. I like my body and when i see body like that i like it as well. But it is more appreciating your forms rather than something other. Because male body is both aesthetically and sexually appealing for me.

[ADFSDF1996]

I completely understand you, thanks for sharing your opinion.

[ADFSDF1996]

One more thing, what about the straight women that say the female body is more aesthetically attractive? Why do they say that?

[ADFSDF1996]

"But it is more appreciating your forms rather than something other." Can you explain that please?

[LaFemmeFatale]

If i see a man who doesn't take care of his body and if i see a woman, who does,
of course i will think that this woman is more aesthetically appealing than this man.

[ADFSDF1996]

What about the other way around?

[ADFSDF1996]

What if both the man and the woman have bodies that are well taken care of?

[LaFemmeFatale]

I mean i like myself , if i was a man i would sexually be attracted to myself :D So when i see a nice woman whose body looks like me, i like her body as well. I like her psysique, cause it looks like mine and i like mine. I hope it does make a sense. It is a perception of beauty. For example I am not attracted to the, let's say, tiger lol but i think it is beautiful. Being woman doesn't make me blind to see that there are other beautiful and appealing women as well and i appreciate it.
What about other women, who doesn't like their physique but still like other women's body and think that they are appealing. I think it is because they see their " dream body" in them. They see that someone has a body , they always wanted to have. In other women they are not attracted to the women themselves, they are attracted to the beauty they always wanted to have.

[LaFemmeFatale]

What about the other way around. I doubt someone thinks that unattractive woman who doesn't take care of herself, is more appealing than man.

[ADFSDF1996]

You're not sexually attracted to women though. As I said, if it were the other way around, a man has a well taken care of body but the woman doesn't, who will you like better? Same goes for if the man and woman have equally taken care of bodies who will you feel the aesthetic and sexual appeal from?

[LaFemmeFatale]

Of course man no doubt.
But if he's not appealing i find women more aesthetically appealing, not SEXUALLY so :)
Sexually i am only attracted to the men

[ADFSDF1996]

Now I understand, thank you for your opinion.

[LaFemmeFatale]

you are welcome. Hope it helped

[ADFSDF1996]

Sorry, but one last thing, which gender is more aesthetically appealing?

[LaFemmeFatale]

It depends on an individual not a gender.

[ADFSDF1996]

So both genders can look equally aesthetically appealing to you?

[LaFemmeFatale]

Nope.
I think you are just one of them who want to prove that women are not straight.
I say that being aesthetically appealing depends on the individual.
I have never ever mentioned that they are both appealing for me.
Men and only men are appealing for me.
End of story :)

[ADFSDF1996]

I think I understand you now. Thanks for replying🙂.

[Anonymous]

Well for me at least, i find men to be very visually attractive and appealing. But you are right that I wouldn't exactly get turned on or anything just from seeing a man's body; he would have to actually do something in order for me to be aroused. But I still find men very attractive to look at and if they have a nice body or face I will look at them for a long rime and admire their looks

[ADFSDF1996]

Do you think the lack of sexual arousal is because of the natural lower testosterone and higher estrogen in women?

[LittleMissCuriousity]

I'm attracted to both, and for a number of reasons. I find both aesthetically pleasing, as well as sexually enticing. I can find both men and woman aesthetically pleasing, without being attractive. Men make me feel more secure, but it might be that I haven't met the right woman yet. Women make me feel stronger. It's complicated.

[kittykatbrat]

I luuuurve men & appreciate good bodies every day.

I DO imagine sex with some of them... I won't lie :)

[ADFSDF1996]

What do you think of the straight women that think women are more aesthetically appealing than men? I've never understood that.

[kittykatbrat]

Tbh, I don't understand the comparison, as men and women are totally different physically.

[ElissaDido]

Yeah I do , I'm straight I'm attracted to men, their bodies included

[ADFSDF1996]

www.autostraddle.com/.../

[ElissaDido]

Yeah I also like the female body but I'm not attracted to it

[ADFSDF1996]

I understand that.

[Smmyskittles]

I love muscles. They're hot and physically appealing to me.

s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/.../...8dfb8c8802.jpg

^^ Want. :]

[Smmyskittles]

To be clear, I don't find female body builders attractive.

It's men. With the right body, hell yeah. I've even been attracted to a man before who had a nice jawline, but "soft" features.
Thick eyelashes, big lips, dark hair. Some muscle but not much.

He was "Damn" to me. I have no idea why, but I found him hot. Body and features. :]

[HelloEveryone123456]

This is gonna be my new catfish Tinder pic...

[Smmyskittles]

@HelloEveryone123456 - A simple click on the pic and a google search can show a catfish. Besides, I don't do Tinder.

Let me know how it works out for you babe. XD

[HelloEveryone123456]

This one is obviously fake...

But I did with another one of a muscular black dude with a big dick showing through his shorts...

I get responses from girls I would never dream of and am as forward with them as possible...

It's kind of depressing, actually...

[anonman32]

i dont know but i do. i like greek statues. so many statues and so many forms of beauty. our society is geared towards female beauty, it is nice to see some male beauty for a change.

[ADFSDF1996]

I don't see anything beautiful in men though.

[anonman32]

that is ok.

[Fearless_banana]

As a bodybuilder I can say that women appreciate a mans physique.. Just ask @Smmyskittles

[ADFSDF1996]

I still don't know if women like the way our bodies look, like the way us straight guys like to look at the female body. Or maybe they just feel protected by us.

[Smmyskittles]

It's hotttt! Hot af!

[Becky01]

I appreciate the male form it is sexy to look at to touch and is such a turn on in every way

[ADFSDF1996]

How do you explain those straight women that think the female form is more aesthetically attractive than the male form? Also is there a reason why you find the body parts of a man attractive?

[Becky01]

well those straight women are still in the closet or bi
there is not a conscious reason but my sub conscious just knows these answers

[ADFSDF1996]

I think that makes sense, thanks for sharing your opinion👍.

[buttcrackjoe]

Observe lesbian couples, one is usually borderline manly, hair, mannerisms, boorish demeanor “it” obviously finds a womans body most appealing. i wouldn't be surpised if there was a gene inside us that triggers our desire for which sex’s body we find sexually attractive, a gene possibly switch to explain effeminate gay males as well

[HaleyArnold]

Yeah I do , I'm straight I'm attracted to men, their bodies included, me too!

[ADFSDF1996]

Why are you attracted to men's bodies? Is it cause of how they look or is it because you feel protected by a man?

[HaleyArnold]

Nah how it looks, I really like the long and lean muscles of a footballer, (soccer), or hunter/ gatherer fitness type if that makes sense.

[ADFSDF1996]

So you do like how a man's body looks, thanks for your opinion.

[ADFSDF1996]

I still don't understand those "straight" women that say the female body is more aesthetically appealing though. It just doesn't make any sense.

[HaleyArnold]

Wellllll i do thune its appelaient without Boeing attractif and wantingg to touch or.. Kinda like a nice painting or beautiful flower

[ADFSDF1996]

Which gender do you think has a better looking body?

[babeeeone]

I love the male physique

[ADFSDF1996]

Why, is it cause of how it looks and feels or is it because you like the feeling of protection?

[babeeeone]

The general way it looks, it's very appealing and attractive to me

[ADFSDF1996]

Interesting, because a lot of "straight" women say that the female body is more aesthetically appealing than the male body.

[babeeeone]

I can appreciate the female body too but that's more of a visual thing. When I look at a males body it just gives me this really good feeling inside that I couldn't get anywhere else.

[ADFSDF1996]

I think I understand you, thanks for your opinion.

[DarkAngel9482]

Actually Aliyah of girls like a butt on guys they look for it and a nice chest is nice to lay on lol

[ADFSDF1996]

Why do women like those body parts though?

[DarkAngel9482]

Most girls like most thing same as guys and I don't know there is something more comfortable at night and such

[ADFSDF1996]

Something more comfortable at night and such?

[LoloWaye]

I'm never sexually attracted to a man until I get to know him.

[LoloWaye]

Or if it's a hookup. After that it fades off.

[ADFSDF1996]

How is that even possible? So you don't find men attractive at all until you meet them? I never understood that.

[LoloWaye]

I find men attractive, like I like their looks, just not sexually attractive.

[ADFSDF1996]

I don't understand how that is even possible. Maybe you are talking about sexual arousal.

[Anonymous]

Yes of course we do. We have male strippers at all-female events for a reason.

[ADFSDF1996]

Then why is it that make strip clubs attract gay men instead (that's what I've heard)? I'm not saying there is anything wrong with gay people but why don't they attract women?

[Phoenix98]

Well of course they do, not all but enough.

[zombiebabe]

yes we do

[rgb008]

Yeeessss 😍

[JennieF]

Oh yeah!
