Ten years ago, baby-faced men were passed over in Hollywood for rugged looking stars with more traditionally masculine looks. But today more feminine-looking actors with delicate features, shorter stature and symmetrical faces are more in demand because they appear to younger viewers, experts claim.Gen Z audiences are drawn to celebrities like Tom Holland, Timothée Chalamet and Harry Styles who embody a 'brand of enlightened non-toxic masculinity', according to beauty expert Laura Kay.

Fluffy boys, who in the years to come will find that the fluffy ruffle look doesn't well at all.

The continuing Alan Aldaification of the American male. Sad. But if women want wussy men, then men will try their best to be wussies.

These was a time when Ford we only sold black vehicles, and therefore people only bought black vehicles. I doubt anyone was peddling their deep insights into how people were deeply digging black as their choice of vehicle color when it was the only option. Every day, a new absurdity from the press.

Women may be attracted to girly men in some movies, because they're cute. But cuteness wears off after a while. If men want to attract women, make a lot of money. One doesn't need to be all that good looking or physically attractive, if there are enough $$$ behind the face.

If we revert back to barbarian hordes as happened after the fall of Rome, those pretty little boys would be dumped by ovulating females in favor of virile manly men to perpetuate the human species.

That's non-toxic alright but just being a normal male is toxic. I'm more than a 'beefcake' I'm a porterhouse. Buh-bye Hollywood you are being punked. MAGA

I read a while back that the TV shows that were most popular among women were shows like NCIS. Law and Order and even the ones with a woman in the lead like The Closer or Major Crimes. Sadly, L&O has been wussified for some time. It took a bit longer for Leroy Jethro Gibbs to turn girlie but we turned it off when he spouted the social justice "lesson" for the day.
Unless I am just so old and women have really changed the pretty boys were for the teenage years. They were non threatening and safe to go "boy crazy over." I still like a manly man, a guy along the lines of Mike Rowe. Smart, funny, articulate, and can sing. My son is a producer for a radio show and when Mike was a guest they asked him to say "hello" to me. He did, and it was one of the nicest most respectful invitations to have coffee with him some day when he was in town. Hasn't happened yet, but I guard that audio clip with my life!

And once upon a time there was a young Leonardo DiCaprio, Shaun Cassidy, Andy Gibb, Ralph Macchio, Johnny Depp, Mickey Rooney, etc., etc. Nothing new.

Metrosexuals to pajama boy to effeminate to non-binary to trans....
What happened to the John Waynes, Harrison Fords, and heroic men before this wussification began... are strong men with a soft heart out of fashion?

#25...lucky you. Mike Rowe is a hunky and has a sexy voice.
I do not like body builders, to me they are creepy looking. I do like manly men. Can spot them a mile off. No fluffy boys for me.

Metrosexuals to the max. Definitely, masculinity is not what they represent. Gayboys all day every day. John Wayne where are you? Are there no real men left anymore? It makes me puke just looking at their photos.

This morning a pretty young woman and I, an old lady, were trying to leave a store where the automatic door didn't work. We struggled a bit and within seconds two men passing by ran over to help us. It was just an ordinary thing and we thanked them, but then I turned to my companion and said, I love having real men around, don't you. She smiled and said, I sure do.
The two guys were smiling and I swear one was blushing.

My understanding is that the bulk of what is presented on TV and in movies is controlled by a very small group of people who control the money. Control the financing, what movies are made, what TV shows are made, and what is in them.
THAT's where to look for the Filth that have their hands on the levers of power.

Just like liberal nutcases look down on pipe fitters, oil rig workers, plumbers, mechanics etc, until something like the lockdown occurred and these looked down on people kept working and kept them all alive.....Wait till we need MEN to protect our neighborhoods red dawn style. They'll be glad to see people like Stone Cold Steve Austin and Chuck Norris.

Preteen girls like pretty boys, then they grow up and fall for men. When we were in grade school my friends and I fell for David Cassidy and other skinny pop stars. We grew up and fell for Tom Selleck, Don Johnson and Mel Gibson.

Blame South Korea and their K-pop idols. Look at the members of BTS and how popular they are with gen Z.
