Why don't women like men's bodies the way gay men do?

[squareenixx]

I mean every girl I have asked in real life or on here has said that Women's bodies look better than Men's. But gay Men seem very attracted to what Men have to offer physically. Also it seems if a Man isn't ripped but just has a normal body like say George Clooney that isn't ripped then his body isn't attractive at all. Straight Men and Women love Men's bodies but it seems the only people that actually love Men's bodies are gay Men.

There's a difference between attraction and loving somebody's body.

All these guys have attractive bodies, in my opinion: link

But when I look at them, all I think is "Yeah, they look good/attractive". However, I don't feel compelled to run my fingers along and kiss every inch of them before f***ing them senseless. That's loving somebody's body.

I only get that feeling when I see this guy: link and the main reason I have that feeling is because I love his personality so much.

Demisexuality, far different to actually being straight

I think its like this because of the media portraying female nudity as sexy while they portray male nudity as a joke. Straight men also tend to follow suit and treat their bodies as such, they don't really embrace their appearance or flaunt it like gay men do.

Women are beautiful but I'm not attracted to them. I'm attracted to men, and adore their bodies. :)

I think maybe with men it is the overall physique instead of the specific body parts. i.e. a guy who looks like he does some physical labour/sports and has a natural broadness/musles compared to the the guys who look super buffed up who follow the formula of working the abs, biceps etc.

the latter just look dumb, but the former actually have a more masculine presense.

Yea, I totally can't stand buffed super-muscly guys. But I love the look of a guy who's toned and has "natural" muscles, not gym-built massive ones, lol.

yeah! real looking men not 'action-men'!

In the gay community (and I'm quoting gay friends I talk to here, so if there are gay people correct me) youth and looks are valued over status. In the lesbian community however it is reversed, status and age is very highly valued. The reason for this is because guys, gay or straight, value physical appearance while women, gay or straight value status.

[Twilight_Starstorm]

I don't value status... I value personality and looks...

Is your boyfriend the leader and/or really good at something to the point where he has people respect him for it, say in sport, or is he a popular guy?

Those damn feminists strike again!
