In a hetero relationship context it makes perfect sense to me that women would determine what is desirable in men. How else would it work?

- antisthenes 3y agoSociety also determines what is desirable in men and women. In fact historically it was much more strict in determining what is desirable. If most men had their way in what is truly "desirable", they would have mute sex dolls that cook their favorite meal every night. If most women had their way, they would probably have something equivalently grotesque to fit their fantasies.
- austhrow743 3y agoThat you can't get the ideal extreme of your wants doesn't mean you don't desire them currently.

I don't believe that would last for very long. Men do have needs of intimacy, companionship, and emotional support. We're socialized and punished for vocalizing, and we're manipulated from showing a need for it. > have something equivalently grotesque to fit their fantasies. I would argue, for most, we're already in that world. The amount of expectations that women have on men is excessive, and when we don't meet them... women get hostile. (Where are all the good men, shaming, etc). From what I've seen some of the "desirable traits include": "Is overly nice/giving, but not a pushover", "Is desirable to other women, but only will stay with me", "Well connected to his peers, but doesn't play video games or like sports", "Doesn't say or think 'misogynistic'/wrongthink things.. but isn't saying things to find favor with me"
