    Depressed middle age father here, and this tracks. I seem to get a lot of positive attention from women of all ages, and I refuse to believe that I’m good looking.

      I made the same point as this meme a few days ago in a thread about young men having “muscle dysphoria” because they think they aren’t buff enough to get attention from ladies. It was generally unpopular and people didn’t believe me.

      But it’s the truth, that most women aren’t looking for huge muscled buff guys, and they are attracted to guys with normal physiques. I have known many very hot women and many of them were with skinny guys, some were with fat guys. Few of them had partners that were buff muscle guys. I’m overweight but I move through life with self-confidence and women love that, I get more attention that I should.
