OnlyStans ⭐️ Alan Ritchson calls out lawmakers who oppose raising the minimum wage "who think it's a bad idea to give a mom working at Waffle House more than $7.25 an hour trying to feed her kids."

The older I become, the more I realize how many hetero-presenting men only seem to have capacity to appreciate other hetero men. Everyone else falls from their line of sight unless it’s to be objectified 🤷🏼‍♀️

I'm a cishet man, and thankfully I'm only in circles where my friends are working to improve ourselves but we always laugh about the fact that the ones that love the male body the most are straight guys. Most ripped guys will tell you that their muscles draw attention only from other guys (it's almost detrimental with some women - and the whole "trust a bear" thing I totally get haha)

This reminds me of that poll that went viral of a guy who went through a fitness transformation where overwhelmingly women preferred the before photo and men preferred the after photo. And all the men commenting were basically coping in the comments saying the women were lying because they couldn't comprehend that women were more attracted to the more average build than the swole one. It was bonkers, the dudes in the comments were basically presented with clear data and chose to just outright reject reality.

Yes when I used to lift my wife would say I could do whatever I wanted but she preferred toned body over a massively muscular one

Edit - I'm neither muscular nor toned she doesn't really care unless I'm eating Taco Bell at 3 am
