That's the proof that men's beauty contests (like bodybuilding competitions nowadays) are from men for men. No woman cares about this shit. These are literally closeted gay events.

I mean obviously in 1919 they were portraying absolute hunks in paintings instead of these suspicious middle-aged men in that picture, so only a complete mongrel would believe it's real

Who the fuck has heard of a male beauty contest?

[Anonymous No.21812962]

Isn't that just bodybuilding.
It's pretty sad that male beauty is so overlooked and so twisted. I think the male body can look great as well. Classical marble statues really show there's grace and beauty in men as well, but women don't seem to care about that.
ABSOLUTELY NO HOMO

Beauty is something reserved to men only. That's the truth.
Women seek to attract others with their looks and call it "beauty", "beautiful".
Men seek beauty itself, detached from the public opinion, detached from anyone else, anything. Beauty in its pure form, on his own terms. This is true beauty.
I find women attractive, they make me hard. But only men can make my heart race.
I am not gay btw.

Bodybuilding is attractive mostly to homos.
Ideal male form is just a little bit fit. Not fat, not thin, not skinnyfat, but simply fit. Fit enough to play a high level football game.
Beckham, Maldini, Marchisio -- all much more attractive than Schwarzenegger, including in the opinion of women.
In the past few decades, beauty standards became more pornographic. Big muscles and asses are the norm now, but I think this mostly applies to the uneducated, slum-dwelling, television-watching, pop-cultured classes. I do not see women of good taste being attracted to strong men, nor do I see men of good taste being attracted to women of ridiculously large asses. Both are attracted to normal levels of fitness.

>Beauty is something reserved to men only. That's the truth.
That's the lie homosexuals tell themselves.
They also have no idea how clear it makes to everyone else that they are evidently gay. If you are a heterosexual man, the beauty of women becomes as obvious as a mathematical proof, even before puberty. As a child I clearly remember being enchanted by young girls, but was very indifferent to boys unless they had something (say, a video game CD) that interested me, and for which I could use them. If any of you had had heterosexual feelings, you would immediately understand -- the skin white as snow, the movements delicate as that of a Debussy flute solo, the mouth little and red like a cherry, everything in woman is organized towards the delicately beautiful, although some of them, of course, can also be rather wild, while others can be both.
Homosexuals like BAP say it's because we are blinded by sexual instinct, and mention the birds as counterexample: we all find the male peacock more attractive. That's true, but birds are not mammals. I do not find the she-wolf less attractive than the wolf. These homosexuals mistake *impressiveness* (size, muscles, etc.) for beauty. The male lion is certainly more impressive than the lioness, but I would not say it is more attractive.
But why go to the animal kingdom? The beauty of females is evident *even in objects*, most famously those which have sumptuous curves like the violin, but also the roses, the white cushions of a comfortable bed, all that is soft and fluid, all that is languid and dreamy, white and red, all that embraces and enfolds. It's the beauty of winds, whispers, and of boughs full of flowers. The beauty of Wagner's forest murmurs, Debussy's faun, and Paul Verlaine's poetry.
There is the male beauty too -- one need only mention the Eroica. But for me it will always be less, much less erotically charged than the feminine.

>I find women attractive, they make me hard. But only men can make my heart race.
Accept who you are. Many great thinkers and poets have been homosexual.

>English: One of the youths posing naked for Wilhelm von Gloeden developed, during puberty, a mild form of gynecomastia. Far from hiding this fact, Gloeden played with it, dressing the boy as a woman and even retouching some of his images in order to enhance the feature.
>This model is featured in Gloeden's catalogue from around number 900 through number 1400 circa. Nothing else is known about him, though.

I'm the guy you replied too and that sounds pretty gay, man
I think men can look good because physical prowess and fitness is generally beautiful due to a natural harmony of forms, which is why you can admire the beauty of powerful animals for their muscles and bodies without necessarily desiring to fuck a horse, but women are objectively the most beautiful thing that humanity is capable of, they are receptacles of life and as such they extort a sacred attraction out of a man. No matter how modernity corrupts them, women are the golden goblets in which all the blood of our species pools and washes. Even broken men like homosexuals recognize this. Perhaps it's true that only men see beauty, but women ARE beauty.
