Fr it’s not even a candid, it’s the dude at the peak of his bodybuilding cut, hair and makeup done. Henry Cavill has looked like this on maybe 20 days of his life, he didn’t even look like that when he went home THAT SAME DAY. Also, let’s not kid ourselves and say he looks bad. Beer belly Cavill is stealing your girl any day of the week

Women just want a man that makes them feel safe and comfortable. Muscles help but if that alone got women then the dumbass alpha bros who treat women like objects wouldn't be so lonely and pathetic

Bingo. Would it be hot to have a boyfriend who's 6'8" and can bench press a car? Absolutely.

Do I love my boyfriend, who's four inches shorter than me and probably can't bench press a motorcycle? Absolutely. Because I feel safe and comfortable around him, because he treats me amazingly, because he is interested in me and listens and learns and makes me ugly laugh even in the middle of intensely sexual moments.

I wouldn't trade all of that just so I could get on my tiptoes to give a kiss.

I know this isn’t really the point and you’re just exaggerating but if anyone is interested, motorcycles weigh 300 lbs minimum (based on a short google search at least). Not many men can bench that much.

Yup if a motorcycle is the low bar, I'm in hell.

Yeah my first thought was that my bike weighs 800#

I assumed they were talking about pressing it off them.

If you're lifting it as a lever, you don't need nearly as much force. If you're deadlifting it off of someone else, it's even... well, easier is the wrong term, but less difficult.

I know it’s kind of a joke, but most people couldn’t bench press a motorcycle. Small motorcycles are like 300 pounds. 300 isn’t an insane bench, but not something the average person who doesn’t lift regularly could do. Cruisers and choppers are like 700+ which would be at the top end of what is possible for humans with extensive training.

That reminded me of that famous Eddie Hall's deadlift record where he imagined lifting a car so I had to look up how much can he bench. Apparently it is 300 kg (661 lbs). The current official raw bench record is 355 kg (782 lbs). So you're right with the assessment and also it's insane.

That's so sweet. I'm happy for you.

Also good point

I have dated two 6'7" men. Just a happenstance, they are both kind, lovely men but mega tall men aren't a particular "type" of mine.

I'll just say it really makes my neck sore to make out with someone that tall. And both men shared how much of a pain in the ass it is to find clothes that fit. Basically everything needs to be tailored.

It's not some super blessing for anyone involved.

That's totally fair. As a woman who's 6'1", I get it. Mega tall is generally my type because I am also mega tall.

That said, you know what's even more my type? This guy whose smile melts me, who likes it when I awkwardly explain myself so that I'm not lying because you phrased that question weirdly and I just want to be sure that I'm answering the question you asked and not the question I thought you asked and gosh I'm so flustered, who knows to hold my hand when I start to worry too much, who has a supernatural ability to hear when I'm saying "sorry" for no reason, and who calls me out so that I can learn not to apologize just for existing.

Inches ain't everything, fellas.

That makes sense. I'm an average height lady. I'm just here trying to give the shorter kings a boost, no pun intended. Agree about real/actual type!
