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.
White “privilege” is mass immigration, “diversity”, open borders forced on All & Only white populations
Diversity is mandated ONLY wherever white people live
Anti Whites demand No White Anything Anywhere
It means CHASING DOWN whites
Its Geno Cide
Its Anti White
duh
There goes that darn “toxic masculinity” again. University gender study professors spend their entire professional lives trying to eliminate it….alas…can’t do it.
Women still prefer money, and lean towards fit men with muscle.
Hey! Guess what!
Water is STILL WET!
Women like power and money, that is how Harvey got them.
I thought it was his muscular physique under those robes.
Trump fit the bill back in the day. As groupies would line up to have trump grab their pssy, trump made a comment about being able to grab their pssy. Liberal and feminazi heads exploded. This study confirms it…because you know, science.
Mick Jagger is dating a 22 year old now. He’s a wrinkly 70.
the second most popular male was the ultra rich midget with no hair and a gut, followed by the ultra rich coma patient
it is in a woman’s DNA to go for the money, no matter what the Socialists say.
And why not? Money is highly correlated with looks, intelligence, and talent.
the liberals tells us that women are not after a man’s money, but they like the metrosexuals with women’s emotions
Well of course liberals can be ignored on all matters because they’re wrong about literally every single thing there is, except for the 2 or 3 times they’re right about something and even then it’s for the wrong reasons.
I see no need to disparage women, though, because of liberals. There’s nothing wrong with money being a factor in attractiveness, unless it metastasizes into greed.
Harvey was ugly but had power and money. Very attractive until his power and money ran out. Nothing like a female’s scorn, as they say.
Gee, who would have guessed our DNA still drove us to seek out healthy looking partners to help with the continuity of a healthy species. The money caters to the modern sense of an ability to provide. No, it isn’t looking in the wrong direction, that’s how living things work. Females look for healthy providers as they always have.
Let me save you time on another study.
Most men like their women with nice tits.
How is this news?
Outside of the liberal echo-chamber, we have this encoded in our DNA.
gosh darn it. :/
” Macho men, particularly ones in suits, still reign supreme on the totem pole of sexual attraction” WRONG! You could have a complete Moron that is not at all “Macho” and some women would flock to them if they have money. Example – Anthony Wiener.
He is the arrogant suit wearing type. He was also in good shape. And money
When I think macho, the little Wiener does not come to mind.
He is fit, but ugly as hell.
God made us this way. Men are to be husbands that are the head of the household and respectful loving leaders of it, with the wives and children submissive. Women all deep down want that, and it shows in who they are sexually attracted to.
Truth
Ummm sorry but no, as a woman I simply don’t ascribe to that philosophy. Yes, husbands, and wives, should be respectful and loving but no one in the relationship should be submissive. And again NO “Women all deep down…” DON’t, necessarily, want to be ruled.
Then explain 50 shades of grey.
That’s easy. 50 shades of grey is soft porn for frustrated house frau.
Neither do men. And someone has to be in charge of the household. The unhappiest marriages I’ve seen are ones where the wife takes charge and ends up running over the husband. That destroys the husband and makes him resent the wife, and the wife shows that she doesn’t respect the husband. It’s tragic.
The most happiest, long term, successful marriages I have ever encountered, seem to follow that principal. The men in those relationships also appear to respect their women more than the relationships feminist seem to prefer.
Women prefer Toxic Masculinity. Go figure.
And to complain about it cause feminism.
The ‘Money’ part is the most important. Macho or not.
Absolutely.
Women are drawn to money like moths are to flame.
Just look at Mnuchin…
1.5 billion women are reported ready to bring sexual harassment charges against Santa Clause claiming he invaded their homes in the middle of the night when everyone else was asleep attempting to bribe them with gifts for them and their family in exchange for sex! These women claim they were intimidated by his forceful authoritative insistence, giving in to his demands just to get him to leave even though he always did leave the gifts. These accusations do however give a peculiarly ironic yet fitting definition to the words “Ho Ho Ho”!!!!!!!!
LMFAO. Very funny. Touche!!!
Possessing the quality of being macho is ancillary to the primary attraction of financial security.
Where to start? Women still crave money and power? No….. thanks for telling us what we all know. After all feminist brainwashing they are still the same? Must be instinctive, then, and its called hypergamy. Mgtow will have a field day with this one. Attention TFM
No, you can go find a guy who is rich, in great shape, tall, funny, sensitive, the take charge type, puts you first, and a feminist. Have fun alone, skanks! 🙂
so women prefer “protect and provide” over “share feelings and underwear” thank you captain obvious….
That women overwhelmingly continue to prefer REAL MEN is deeply troubling to the leftist lunatics who view male strength, power and the natural aggression that flows therefrom as as a loathsome part of the “patriarchy” that suppresses female empowerment. The feminazis associate male strength and power (including economic power) with “toxic masculinity.” They would prefer males to become something more akin to controllabe women with penises.
wait and see the next gen. i bet amouth of gay people will be triple. right now feminists raising a lot of boys and these boys growing up in an enviroment that hostile to them be prepered lots of emotional cucks. i dont know how are they gonna end up. maybe look up to sweden they are far more deep about feminism than any other country sweden might give good insights about next gen.
Gee. Needed a study to figure that out? Next we will hear the shocking news that men are attracted to beautiful women with great bodies. DUH!
Hey you cant say that, thats the patriarchy. I want a fat, selfish, feminist. Not
Now they say it’s sexist for men not to be attracted to transgender women. You’re not supposed to notice if your date has a bigger package than you have.
Seriously, file this “news” under DUH! or hashtag #Hypergamy.
Watch out – “feminists” and other libs will attack you!
Beautiful YOUNG women.
Or is that redundant?
