Henry Cavill is a muscle hunk, tho.

But he's also a big nerd so that kinda makes up for it.

The only non-muscle hunk in this image is Jack Black (famously the poster boy for unconventionally attractive man, where the picture chosen is a younger and skinnier one), Joseph Quinn, and mayyybee Jeremy Allen White.

The nerve of putting Orlando fucking Bloom as Legolas or Cavill as The Witcher as "little". This disconnect is unfathomable.

This meme really gets the rise out of me because I agree with the sentiment but the example they chose are so bad.

Yeah fucking hell Henry Cavill is literally superman omg

[–] Rodeo@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

The sentiment isn't even true unless you're in an urban center or in Europe.

Small town North American women love muscle dummies. There's fuckin swarms of them in my town. Go to the bar and the only men there are roided up muscle dummies with swarms of women rallying around them.

It's just fuckin wrong. Plenty of stupid women out there who just want a hunk of meat for a boyfriend.

There was an old reddit thread were one woman argued that women arent attracted to "gym rats" and used Henry Cavill as an example of a man with a physique who doesn't spend hours in the gym everyday.

People who doesn't do resistance training have a negative amount of knowledge of what it takes to get in "shape".

I do "resistance training." I resist going to the gym, and eat cheese instead.

A good workout is so satisfying though, and you'll be even more hungry afterward, so you can eat even more cheese if you'd like.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

That's a waste of precious cheese-eating time.

Henry Caville gets his physique through sheer willpower put into manifesting his dreams to one day be Captain General Trajann Valoris

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Henry Cavill? The guy who played Superman and Geralt of Rivia? Nobody can possibly think he got that body by sitting around. That's like saying guys don't think Lady Gaga wears makeup on stage. He's not just fit, he's built out.

Any actor is someone who is selling their looks as part of the package. However they look, it is a choice and they put effort into it. Even Jack Black.

But even he doesn't look like in man of steel on a Thursday morning. He looks like that after he got a good pump and not eating and drinking for days.
I'm still gay for cavill tho

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Yeah it doesn't look like he had a mustache Photoshopped out in that photo
