Do you agree with petruvsky that men arn't attractive?

Question

I think she's wrong. I personally adore the way the male body looks, everything including the scrotum. Do other girls feel this way?

Answer 1

yeah, but if men do not find you attractive, you start to "return the feeling" after so many years. I guess that's what happened to that Petruvsky woman.

Answer 2

I love the male body, though I don't find that many that suit my standards. I love long and lean and strong at the same time. Tall and mmm. But the face is what gets me. I dont' find that many guys that are attractive in the facial area. I don't know. I would say it's not everyday that I see even one attractive man...that I wonder what he looks like without clothes on. And I agree, the whole package (if you know what I mean) is very pretty to me and so accessible. Ha, I just like to grab on my boyfriend down there to let him know I am turned on and not interested in anybody else. The female figure is definitely more beautiful but some men are attractive too. Definitely not all, just like for women. But there just seem to be fewer men that really get me going. I have a thing for athletes, they are a work of art. Like a basketball player or a wide reciever. Not the big guys but the lean quick ones. So sexy.

Answer 3

I would like to say that I appreciate all the women piping up in their appreciation of the male form (even the scrotum? Yeesh, I even tell the fellas they are some ugly bastards, and we've been tight since pampers!)

Is Petruvsky an old-schooler? The idea that men are not physically/sexually attractive stems from the sexual repression of women's libidos (like the idea that only a hussy actually ENJOYS sex). It sounds like (as I am largely unfamiliar with Petruvsky, I am only speculating) maybe she still has the stigma from her pre-feminist conditioning days, when women were taught that virtue equated to not having the capacity for sensual stimulation or base-level sexual attraction.

Anybody more familiar with Petruvsky care to speculate further? I can't.

Oh, and speaking of woman being the benchmark of idealistic beauty... why do I keep seeing macho dudes shaving their legs? Sure, looking like you rolled in glue, then a barber's floor is a touch unsightly, but what's up with all this male body shaving? It's very confusing to me to have to say, "Gee Mark, that's great, your legs look reeeeeeal silky. No, I'm not touching them. No. No. Stop it. Get off me, Mark, I'm not touching your damn legs, I don't CARE how silky they are!"

Answer 4

No, I like the way men look. I like their bodies better than women's. I don't understand why the female body is considered more attractive than the male's. I wish that whoever comes up with these surveys about which sex has the more attractive body would ask more women what they think. I doubt most women would think their own sex is the more attractive. I know I don't.

Answer 5

No I don't agree with her at all. I think men can be very attractive in all different ways - of course there are physically repulsive males and females, but in general I think men are better-looking than women.

They don't need make-up, they have longer eyelashes, they age better, they smell good even when they're dirty, their bodies are more easily made strong and fit, and male children are cuter then female ones.

Answer 6

I agree with Darth.

"Handsome" men with chisled physiques are well aware they're attractive, but most men will not admit it because of the social stigma that men admitting it is "gay". A man having a sexual desire for a man is gay. Simply thinking "hey, I look good" or "he can get women, he's good-looking" is not gay.

Because most media images of what defines "beauty" is targetted mostly towards men, by men -- society perceives the female body to be the ultimate of what's aesthetically pleasing. Not only will men believe this, but women will pick this up and be subjected to such brainwash as well. Hence, you will have almost as many women repeating the same things as men -- that it is the female body that is to be desired and the male body is to be ignored. I personally think the media should equally target the population to say that male bodies are sexy too, as it should be more balanced -- women should like the male figure with the same intensity that men like the female figure.


As Happy Snappy said, it's great to see many of these heterosexual, rationally-thinking women shoot down the claims of men being unattractive from lesbian, bisexual, and man-hating women.

EDIT: Actually Baba Yaga, "handsome" specifically refers to a physical merit as determined by the observer -- usually a man's face and/or overall appearance. If you're attracted to his charisma or wealth, or talent, intelligence, spiritual bond, or whatever phrase you want to use to attribute to non-physical attraction -- then that's entirely different.

Answer 7

I always feel sorry for the lovers of these women who do not appreciate the gorgeous male anatomy.

I absolutely love it...every luscious inch of it....from head to toe...and definitely the package.
I have always been fascinated by the male genitalia.
I've never thought that one sex has a better physique than the other.
Its like comparing apples and oranges....we are the yin and yang of each other....soft supple curves -vs- hard angular lines....we balance each other out....and mmm I just love men.

Answer 8

I think both female and male bodies are beautiful, if you look at the body as a whole picture and not just focus on one part.
If you have ever looked at the great works of sculpture of the Romans and Greeks, the human anatomy is the most graceful and elegant, form of human expression.

Answer 9

Different people are going to say different things, but yes, most women like a well cut body, concentrating on different parts. Shiny hair, white teeth ... in short ... the whole package.

And yes, though they may actually find it revolting, many women are "compelled" by the penis, scrotum, etc. The forbidden fruit, if you will.

Yup, a few will find it revolting and still want to have sex with men anyways.

Just as there are men out there who find a woman's body revolting and still want to have sex with it.

Humans are fickle, plain and simple.

Answer 10

Umm Baba yaga, I have to agree with lycraspandex here. "handsome" is typically referred to the physical appearance. Attractive I see as the complete package or other components that can go with looks or be independent from it. Attractive is one of those vague words that define many different components depending on the person's perspective. Like a handsome man can be attractive looking. But attractive can mean what attracts the person to wanting to be with him or her, thereforee, he or she might not actually be good looking but because of his or her personality and other components, he or she is now attractive to that person. Here's an example Brad Pitt would be commonly considered "handsome", while Bill Gates not so. But Bill gates could be more "attractive" than Brad Pitt, because of him attracting one by his other components, but he is still not as good looking as Brad Pitt or handsome, but possibly more attractive to the person. Handsome is looks/physical appearance, attractive can be many things (looks solely, personality and other components soley and not looks, or the whole package).

Answer 11

I personally think the male organ is most attractive, err, when it can't be seen, if you catch my drift. Other than when it's fulfilling it's purpose, in an objective way it looks kind of awkward - shrivelly and ant-eater like. And this is not because men don't find me attractive like the last person theorized - quite the opposite!
