ooooh, i wouldnt mind being the filling in one of those sandwiches

MrSheen · 08/10/2014 19:33

What's freaky looking about them? (I am also old)

splendide · 08/10/2014 19:33

I'm absolutely fascinated by the idea that these men aren't chosen to be attractive to women. Do gay men and straight women have different types as a rule? Obviously as individuals we all have different taste.

MrSheen · 08/10/2014 19:33

Apart from some of the poses I mean.

Hamuketsu · 08/10/2014 19:39

Well, I'm sure they can. Tastes differ. They're not my bag at 44, and wouldn't have been at 24 (or 14). But my teen daughters wouldn't go for them either, so it isn't a generational thing. In fact, they've got a similar "look" to guys that were widely fancied when I was a gel.

GurlwiththeCurl · 08/10/2014 19:40

Ah, I feel all motherly towards them. Perhaps I could offer to knit them all nice jumpers to cover up. They all look a bit cold to me, poor lads.

My DSs are a similar age and they are rolling about laughing at the moment.

gemdrop84 · 08/10/2014 20:00

Everyone's different, personally I like men a bit more hairy and rough around the edges than the preened guys on these photos! Don't find any of those guys attractive.

gemdrop84 · 08/10/2014 20:16

A picture of Harrison Ford quite a few years ago, more my taste! media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/a7/5f/fd/a75ffd27c76635445d9e5787f0aa00ac.jpg

Travis and Troy are hysterical Grin

EhricLovesTheBhrothers · 08/10/2014 20:31

Oddly homoerotic poses but why wouldn't young women find them attractive? They are fit, muscled, handsome men. What's not to like? I prefer a scruffier, quirkier look myself but I can see they are very attractive.

FindoGask · 08/10/2014 20:33

I think it's just that they're... young? And most of us are old? They aren't that different objectively to lots of 90s male model shots I can remember.

Sallystyle · 08/10/2014 20:34

What's wrong with them? Hmm

Not all to my tastes but I see nothing wrong with them or what isn't attractive about some of them.

I am not a huge fan of the toned muscle look, but I don't see the issue.

gemdrop84 · 08/10/2014 20:46

I'm 30 so not that old, they just don't do anything for me! Always liked older men though so maybe that's why I don't find them attractive!

hiddenhome · 08/10/2014 20:49

They're boring and generic.

I like men who have some character in their face and hair on their chest.

They're obviously designed to be in a gay magazine judging by the poses.

They're only attractive in that they're anatomically correct and don't have three eyes or are covered in scales.

I would find fungi more interesting tbh.

seasavage · 08/10/2014 20:49

The poses the awfilul cheeky girls pull are often equally disturbing as they are also siblings. Ugh.

hiddenhome · 08/10/2014 20:51

These types of people, both male and female, look as though they're made in a factory Confused

Branleuse · 08/10/2014 20:52

im old, but I can do the cougar thing if needs be

Morloth · 08/10/2014 20:59

They are all a bit young for my tastes (especially as the mother of boys, I just want to tell them to stop messing around, get some bloody clothes on and come have lunch).

But when I was a girl, they would have been very interesting!

These days I prefer 40+, not quite such defined abs and body hair, they all display an alarming lack of body hair which makes them look even more like my 10 year old.

ephemeralfairy · 08/10/2014 21:00

Jedward anyone...?? Grin

321zerobaby · 08/10/2014 21:01

Definitely a touch of twincest.

Frostox · 08/10/2014 21:06

Yeah I'm just not sure these are aimed at the female market. I'm just gonna leave this here... www.salon.com/2010/05/21/twincest/

Mrsstarlord · 08/10/2014 21:17

Definitely not my cup of tea, I am 41 but I don't think they would ever have been my cup of tea so I don't think it's an age thing. Too chiselled, pretty, shiny, etc

Hiddenhome - I never thought about it like that but you are spot on!

MrSheen · 08/10/2014 21:20

I don't like hairy chests. never have, most likely never will. DP is smooth as a babies bottom.

Aeroflotgirl · 08/10/2014 21:24

ÃŽ think they are designed to appeal to both men and women.

Sallystyle · 08/10/2014 21:35

I love hairy men. My husband has two chest hairs Grin I like my men a bit rough looking, a bit different and broad but not defined muscles. Bonus if they have long noses, long chins (not like Bruce's though) and a chiselled face.
