#2 making a bold statement to go sans mustachio.
His apparent boner is making a statement of its own.
He’s gonna put someones eye out with that thing.
Someone there went to the wrong contest
They all just seem to be advertising.
You guys said no mustaches! Oh come on!
I spend copious hours in the gym because I never ever want to look like this. I was thinking about skipping today because it’s raining, so thanks for the motivation.
What’s wrong with them?
They don’t look like a modern social media influencer
It’s not at all about that. I guarantee you that if these guys maintained whatever diet they had at the time and added three hours a week of doing something with their muscles, they would look very different.
The point is that you wouldn’t find muscle mass like that as attractive without those people. These men were considered beautiful then and they aren’t now because the culture of what is considered beautiful has changed. They didn’t need to work out in order to be beautiful and they shouldn’t now either. They would look different yes, but not inherently better or more beautiful.
Oh well I never made any objection to the beauty standards so I agree I guess? I only said I don’t want to look like that, I’m a little old school, I want to look like all those Greek statues.
I did not mean to seem aggressive if it came off that way. I do that some times
tiny wee wee included?
We prefer the term feminine penis these days
Right, before power tools were common. I bet these guys were on average stronger than current average men.
You are asuming they do physical work and aren’t just white collar.
They probably did physical work in a white collar though.
Absolutely a possibility
I would describe it as skinny fat but these guys are not fat, so I think the problem is that they have very little muscle all around.
To me they look totally normal, average. Beauty standards changed a lot and continue so do since the dawn of time.

Sure. But also we know what an active body looks like and it’s not like this. They look like normal guys who don’t get much excercise. Look at people living in pre industrial tribes, Greco Roman beauty standards etc. not saying it’s wrong to look like that, but I personally do not want to look like that. I think we look best with a little bit of muscle on.
It’s totally fine for me if you want to look like one of those Roman or greek statues but I don’t think the (above) average greek or todays indigenous people look(ed) much different from the guys in the post, eg Yanomami for reference: https://images.app.goo.gl/xR5KMPCo6XMwnQne6
Cmon that photo you linked makes my point exactly. The tribesmen clearly have better muscle mass. Just look at the man in the far right, that dude has fairly developed biceps and shoulders. Guy on the far left, I think I even see some vascularity.
I think you might be looking at the chest only, which is actually pretty hard to build without weightlifting so it makes sense that neither would look like what our idea of muscular is in the modern day. Even the first bodybuilders had “underdeveloped “ chests.
I remember discussing this in private school, I suggested its possible use was for portable masturbation on long trips lol.
I think working out and eating healthy is a good trend and blood work is happy for it, and don’t need some super crazy work out plan to look better.
But the whole cosmetic surgeries and steroids which aren’t needed to be healthy is definitely overboard for the regular person who aren’t making living off their looks or athletic performance is overboard.
Yeah, most of those guys look like they have a lot of visceral fat (they don’t have waists). Only the two on the right look healthy
Everyone of them has more muscle than the average man today. They don’t have the relatively low body fat most men today have. The strangest thing about them is the barrel chest and swollen gut thing that each of them has going on.
Fuck it.
today’s freezing, but I’ll go to the gym too :)
Hardest thing is getting there. Once you are in you kinda forget you didn’t want to go. Except when you don’t and you half ass it. But doing a little bit is better than doing nothing is what I say.

ITT: people who start screaming because they don’t realise the
#at the start of a line has special meaning, and turns it into a heading.Seems to be a problem with the app you’re using, not a general lemmy thing.
It’s only supposed to turn it into a heading when there’s a space between the hashtag and the heading text. If it’s doing it immediately after the hash, that’s an issue with your client. All the comments here look fine for me on Alexandria, base Lemmy, and Boost.
#This should just be normal size
This shouldn’t be
*octothorp
They must all be named George cause they are absolutely gorg.
Why does the guy on the left look like he’s wearing a collar made of skin?
It’s his tan line. None of those guys ever saw the sun without wearing a suit.
People used to do this weird thing called going outside. Believe it or not, they’d spend most of their waking hours doing this weird habit and they were also typically fully dressed too. It was considered scandalous to be caught outside not fully clothed. So the deadly laser that is our Sun would fry their uncovered face much faster than the skin beneath their clothes.
I don’t understand, why would you do that? Sounds lame
They all look a little weird, like some old time photo editing was done.
That’d be the horrendous AI upscaling. Peep the fingers.
Well now I have a new insecurity because I can’t grow a mustache.
I feel awesome, because I’m no oil painting but I reckon I’d win in this field. Born too late, me.
good to know I’d be in peak form in 1919, all I need is to let the stache grow
I’ll take the looker on the far left. Mmmmhmm, break me off a piece of that.
Do they even lift?
Enough to beat your ass in fisticuffs
Feh. I could easily beat off all of these men.
Some of these fellows are packin’ some serious heat!
One dude without a mustache lines in a world of regrets and self loathing.
I’m surprised they even let him enter the contest.
Without a snappy stache, he’s got no shot at all.
That looks like tom hanks kid
Cover up those bellybuttons, boys
Sluts
