For context (if you’re a sane person and not extremely online), researcher William Costello recently did a simple, anonymous Twitter poll. Men and women were invited to rate pictures of British singer Olly Murs when he was huskier vs. when he really hit his gym goals and became legitimately shredded.
As a transbian I at least have an interest in it. How the author describes being attracted to men describes how I’m attracted to women. This section is definitely relatable and in that sense euphoric:
Like, I like boobs, but sometimes as I see a drawing where the boobs are so big all I’m thinking about is how that person’s spine would be ripped out of their back. Which is a turn off to me anyway.
Yeah I’m demi and that bit stuck out to me as well. Like, I’ve no interest in this guy, ripped or otherwise, but like I mentioned above, the left version of him seems more approachable. I can envision a scenario where it’s easier to envisage being with a person based on their ‘vibe’ even without having spoken to them. It’s like a foot in the door in a way.
