COVENTRY, England — Macho men, particularly ones in suits, still reign supreme on the totem pole of sexual attraction, a new study finds.
Researchers at Coventry and Aberystwyth universities in the United Kingdom looked at three years of data from TubeCrush, a British hot-or-not-type site where users upload photos of male London Underground passengers, to evaluate the male archetypes straight women and gay men found most attractive.
One striking initial observation by the researchers was that most men uploaded were white, despite London being a fairly diverse city. Popular images also often made sure to focus on a man’s biceps, pectorals, and chest, particularly if he was muscular in those areas.
Many accompanying comments also emphasized a man’s physique and supposed sexual prowess, the researchers note.
Another frequent theme in popular images was displays of wealth, whether it was through jewelry, fancy attire, or expensive technology.
Meanwhile, men who demonstrated less dominant or aggressive behavior, such as fathers, or males who seemed more sensitive or awkward, fared worse on TubeCrush.
The researchers believe that their findings uncover a reversal in traditional gender roles, in which women have begun to objectify unsuspecting men, instead of vice versa. The findings “suggest that white, male privilege is still an attractive quality in men for many straight women and gay men,” according to a university news release.
“From smart-suited City workers to toned gym-goers flashing their flesh, the men featured in the photographs on TubeCrush show that as a culture we still celebrate masculinity in the form of money and muscle,” says lead researcher Adrienne Evans. “They are marking the middle-class, wealthy, mobile and sexually powerful male body, not as a political one as feminists intend it to be, but one that should be actively desired.”
Although some positive attention can certainly help a guy’s self-esteem, Evans argues that women are still looking in the wrong direction.
“It’s a problem because although it appears as though we have moved forward, our desires are still mostly about money and strength,” she concludes.
The researchers’ findings were published in the journal Feminist Media Studies.
Oh and the government spent 5 million on this study and 25 million on a tranny and lesbian study opposing this
That’s because a majority of females are similarly knuckle-dragging, Neanderthal-like superficial peacocks. After nearly 75 years of paying and encouraging the dumb and selfish lower classes to breed, procreate, and multiply, these are the “studies” that inevitably will be proven.
The 80/20 rule folks.
The weak should kill the strong.
Women are hard-wired to want strong men who are good providers.
Feminists can’t rewrite how God has designed and hard-wired us!
bull crap… woman like tall men and men like big boobs… money helps but unless you are very wealth it does not. i make an upper middle class living. i am not ugly but i am not overly handsome. however, i am only 5’6″ and in my mid 40’s and woman still don’t find me attractive… i am not a jerk or anything, i just think i get the cold shoulder right away because i’m short… i’ve seen some of the ugliest dudes (who are tall) get the good looking woman… i am 100% convinced of that.
In my experience, even hardcore feminists will abandon their “religion” in a flash, if they get a chance to snag one of those awful privileged white macho men.
“One striking initial observation by the researchers was that most men uploaded were white, despite London being a fairly diverse city.”
So, despite many years of multi-culti/interracial media propaganda and brainwashing on TV, on the Movie screen, in ads and Commercials to convince woman to prefer any man other than white men,…….they still do!
I’m shocked. Shocked! Welll… not that shocked.
With all the decadence and degeneracy leftists and their media allies are selling, people still prefer men to fat, bloated obese sweathogs, trannies, betas and diesel dykes.
Shocker.
In other astonishing news, water, it turns out, is wet.
It’s okay to be white.
In other news, water is wet and trees are made of wood…
Does the word DUH ever factor into this study?
This is surprising news. All these years I thought scrawny, unwashed, homeless, destitute guys with a limp were what attracted women.
I remember that when Reagan was governor of California, he mentioned that the feds paid for a study to identify what makes people happy. The study revealed that age, wealth, and health were major factors. They determined that folks who were young, rich, and healthy were happier than folks who were old, sick, and poor. The feds spent a couple hundred thousand dollars in taxpayer money on the enlightening study.
