---

Nah I don't notice dudes. I'm one of those toxic straights.
---

same with hairlines/hair loss

da insecurity

Men will compliment much more indeed, women care about it much more than they let you notice tho.
Men dont give a fuck if they let you know they ;like your body, women are terrified of doing that for obvious reasons.
But they notice, and they like it.

damn i bet you're ripped

---

men care for different reasons than women, in general.
---

yup, just like women care more about othernwomens makeup/clothes than dudes do

---

get abs and then casually scratch your belly button or stretch or need to reach up to grab that high shelf

other dudes are just willing to talk to you about it

Is it that women don't care, or that they worry that if they give the slightest bit of attention a guy will immediately assume that they want sex and start stalking them?

Between seasons of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," the series co-creator famously gained 52 pounds on a 5,000 calorie diet just to make a meta-argument about his character and the unrealistic way sitcom actors usually get better-looking as their shows progress.

McElhenney went on to lose all of that weight and become sculpturally fit in subsequent seasons. In the finale of season 13, McElhenney left audiences in awe with a beautiful dance sequence that stood for Mac coming out as gay in the show.

All of this is to say that McElhenney has personally wrestled with some interesting questions about identity and social expectations, using his own body and creative work as experimental canvasses to scratch beneath the surface of an image-obsessed culture.

In the latest edition of Men's Health magazine, McElhenney joined forces with "Deadpool" star Ryan Reynolds to talk about masculinity, exercise, friendship, aging and validation. The two actors struck up a friendship that began on social media and recently led them to partner up in buying the Wrexham AFC soccer team, even though they both know very little about soccer.

Reynolds: I have very limited experience interviewing anyone, but one thing that Im genuinely curious about is your wild body transformation. This is what Rob McElhenney wrote about his transformation: Look, its not that hard. All you need to do is lift weights six days a week, stop drinking alcohol, dont eat anything after 7 P.M., dont eat any carbs or sugar at all. In fact just dont eat anything you like. Get the personal trainer from Magic Mike, sleep nine hours a night, run three miles a day, and have a studio pay for the whole thing over a six- to seven-month span. I dont know why everyones not doing this. Its a super-realistic lifestyle and an appropriate body image to compare oneself to. #hollywood.

McElhenney, 44, made a fascinating point to Reynolds about how he's been perceived since getting into great shape:

Im sure youve experienced this, too, but the people who were most fascinated by my body when I was in great shape were dudes. Women could give two s**ts. In fact, my wife really was displeased with the way I looked, because she felt like I was trying too hard, and I was. I was! Theres this fascination that men want to look like that and men want to be that aesthetically pleasing to other men. Im actually talking about straight men as much as men in the gay community. Its interesting that its not based in sexuality or sex appeal and more about this body image that weve sort of grown accustomed to. Its the thing people find fascinating, because it relates to their lives. So much of it is wrapped up in health, but also aesthetics and sex and all sorts of things that make us human, and its something were all grappling with in different ways every day.

Reynolds then led the conversation toward the impact of a masculine pressure in Hollywood (and by extension, in the culture it serves) that remains as murky as it is taken for granted. McElhenney acknowledged that it's difficult to explore this issue in a serious way because the expectations on women, by comparison, are so heavily skewed that they need more urgent attention:

I dont want to cry foul too much, because women have been held to a very difficult and specific standard for so long and continue to be, and men have had the benefit of not being held to such a stringent standard, aesthetically at least. However, I will say and I hear this from a lot of men, and I think its a little bit less taboo to talk about that men, too, are held to a standard of masculinity thats impossible to live up to or is probably essentially unethical to live up to: that sort of quiet, masculine tough guy whos both jacked and ready to throw down at any moment but also sensitive but not too sensitive.

And aesthetically, the superhero stuff hasnt helped. We now have this ideal of being the biggest dude or the most ripped guy in the room. Brad Pitt, for example, in Fight Club thats the body type that I hear more men talk about than anything else. But Brad Pitt in Fight Club is probably 150 pounds soaking wet hes just all sinewy muscle and I bet if you stood next to him back in 1999, or whenever that movie was, he would seem frail, because the ideal body type now is f***ing jacked.

I think it's simply easier to compare to another male body. And there's the thing that you won't come off as hitting on them. Unless one of you is gay or something

Basically.

Even though as a joke with guys caring more it's true sometimes, but all in all girls will go nuts for a strong guy too.

I put a fake profile on a dating website of a guy with a skimask showing off his 21" biceps and badass shoulders. I'd message girls teasing them aggressively and they were dropping phone numbers left and right. I think like maybe 1 girl out of the 50 I toyed with told me to goto hell, lol.

I did the same exact pose of myself (remember, ski-mask so they can't even see face) and even though I'm taller my 14" arms literally garnered no attention despite the same pose and messages.

So keep lifting guys, it does help.
