The Female Gaze

[lilmissdarling]

That still doesn’t explain where his clothes are. Unless it’s going to take him until Saturday to get his gear on.

Its the meeting that occurs after players shower/clean up after practice. The practice where this player broke his leg. Completely bs-ing at this point.

Ive never been an athlete, so Im just assuming this is how it works.

 

[Artfan2]

It could make sense that he was the star player and he got hurt so now they’re going to lose, but why the hell is he in his underwear? What was he doing?!

Even if he's injured, he can still suit up ...and down.

That’s a point, I suppose.

Personally, I’d rather sit on the sidelines and make out with the cheerleaders, who cares about the game!
But then, I’ve never been much of an underwear salesman.

Advertising wise - Probably more targeted to the men. "See these athletes use this brand. If its good for them, it'll be good for the working folk".

This^.

I'd definitely say male targeted. "Look at all these manly men, with sculpted bodies, going about their business of being manly in testosterone fueled competitive sport, like manly men do."

Pretty sure I've never typed manly that many times in one sentence.

“I’m a manly man, in a manly world, doing manly things in a manly way.”

So manly.

Someone explain this picture to me.

I’m assuming it’s an advertisement for underwear, but is it sexy or just confusing?
Why is the guy on crutches, with his leg in a cast, in his underwear like he’s getting ready for the big game?
Is this picture supposed to inspire men to wear tightly whities or to get women horny to get their guys to wear underwear like this?

Is it for the female gaze or the regular gays? (<—see what I did there?)

I can’t tell the brand but if this is a Calvin Klein ad then it’s pretty much standard, leaving one more confused.

Is this the standard command for AI Abercrombie & Fitch ads in the future?

So Zoolander!!!

I love that movie.

So. I was thinking about this thread and the differences it's highlighted in how women and men objectify.

It seems like most of the men I know objectify body parts, in and of themselves. I'm not sure women do that so much as a general rule.

At least I don't. I'm more likely to be caught by some indefinable sexual lure. An actor, singer, model, that catches my attention somehow. I may be able to point to physical attributes of whomever appeals, but it's not that physical attributes that draws me in.

Something I find curious, is that it's not been unusual for me to pash on people not remotely my usual physical type.

Pretty, or what I like to look at, is not necessarily what gets my blood up.

 

[Apisto42]

If what I’m attracted too also happens to have the body shapes I love, that’s just a bonus.

But I will also be allured by bodies just by themselves if it’s a good photo.

This seems to be the general consensus.
Which makes this thread almost obsolete.
But there has to be some women who just like looking at men’s bodies, I mean, there is a market for it.
I know it often get taken over by gay men—Playgirl, nude calendars, etc., but surely there are some women that just like looking at guys bodies, yes, no?

Well, sure. It's like female nudes. I like the artist of both, but it's not really an arousal thing. It's more an appreciation of line and beauty.

Well that’s just crazy.
You should be aroused, damnit!

 

[redsnowbunny]

oh I am.. I absolutely am.
Such a pity that the best male nudes out there are very obviously catering to the gay man tastes, thus making the picture not always arousing to women.
I would LOVE to see more offer and variety of male nudes catering to women's tastes.

Ripped dudes in tighty whiteies don’t do it for you?

 

[redsnowbunny]

Not if they're their lips look like little cocksucking bitches. .. Pardon my french.

(I was looking at ripped dudes in tighty whities just yesterday, browsing a men's underwear website. a couple pictures were actually pretty arousing.. )

Okay, this is the perfect time for you to post images that you do like. That’s kind of what I wanted this thread to be, what do women find sexy—no matter how innocent or graphic.

Let’s see some skin!

There I was, feeling like I had failed you.

*throws forearm against forehead*

And then @redsnowbunny swooped to the rescue and my guilt just washed away in big waves to the I-am-no-longer-responsible sea.

This thread has become kind fascinating. Who knew how hard it could be to be objectified!
