The shy dad bod beta fantasy exists only in the minds of men. Any women entertaining it are doing it solely out of desperation as women are desperate for mates. You even asking this makes me want to literally beat the living shit out of you.

absolutely not
>who have only average though boyish physiques
this is more likely

you don't need to be jacked to get girls (slim can work too), but you do need to be confident and at least somewhat dominant

Obvious answer: the bibble
One is supposed to jump through hoops to make it sound deep and wonderful, but it says people of creativity, real love, and intellectual growth. It has helped to sell generations into slavery. These “flocks” still praise it as some kind of cultural high point or guiding light, but leads you to an empty death in delusion.

Are you really a grill? I'm the original asker. Do you know if other girls out there also wouldn't mind a submissive man, provided he's a good boy? And if I also want to care for the girl, by hugging her and giving her glasses of warm milk that I hold before her lips and slowly pour into her mouth while she gently sips, and I also gently kiss her cheek and neck because I am so happy my sweetheart is drinking her milk since she deserves such nourishment, and the comfort which comes from it. Will things like this be okay, for such dominant girls? To be submissive, yet still caring? I am not into anything involving pain, or bullying.

Whether some is high-brow or low-brow isn't subjective; there's a reason why what's considered high-brow is similar
in wildly different cultures, and that is because high-brow has an objective definition. It's always had an objective
definition: for the last thousand years philosophers have made a clear distinction between simple pleasures (e.g. sex)
and high-order pleasures (e.g. literature). Pleasure derivation -- as you will see -- is the core determinant of an
activity's place on the spectrum of cultural sophistication.

Things that are instantly gratifying generally have little value. It's obvious why we have a gut feeling for whether
something is trash, low-class, pleb shit. The feeling comes from knowing that it's not very rewarding, which means it
requires no effort, which means that even an animal could do it. Compare this with the feeling of accomplishment of
having completed a long, complex book. This is why reading is considered high-brow, but getting hammered every night isn't.

All of this stuff has been confirmed by neuroscience at a fundamental level, and more generally by psychology/sociology.
High-brow interests can actually activate neural networks that aren't present in most animals, and these brain regions
are thought to involve pleasures above simple stimulation like eating and masturbating; they take into account future states
of happiness despite the current activity not being pleasant. Example: you're working hard creating music, are frustrated
and angry, yet you're happy knowing that you'll have created something of high aesthetic value when you're done.
