Nooo I'm 41 and I prefer skinny pasty feminine men like Noel Fielding and Matt Smith.
I don't like masculine men at all and usually I don't find their personalities attractive either.

Come to think of it, the 80s were the era of feminine men. Well, as far as all the British musicians were concerned at least.

But I am really waiting wolf's reply on this.

Are muscular skinny guys considered feminine now?

I was implying that the standard of beauty has changed for men as well as women and how people follow it like sheep. I'm not stating that a leaner physique or body type makes one more masculine or feminine, I'm stating that as the standards change, Hollywood aims to be prettier and prettier which isn't indicative of the reality.

Is a slimmer physique of an endurance athlete or runner healthier than the Schwarzenegger physique in the long run? Probably, yes but people will believe in what the media standard is at that time. People will copy what they see on television regardless of the consequences, even going to extremes to fit an exaggerated media image or phenotype and by doing so, they no longer live by their own expectations but the expectations of the media.

Vanity's a business built to fleece the unique.

those men looked like different versions of a similar type. some were heavily muscled and some were less so, but they all had big visible muscles.

by the way, Arnold Schwarzenegger was an action hero, but not so much a sex symbol. his fans were mostly males. and i don't know the name of the other guy from the 80s, which should be some indication of how popular he was. maybe he also played action heroes? action heros are mostly popular with men, not with women.

here are a couple of men who were actually popular with women in the 1980s:

Jean Claude Van Damme, he was an actor and martial artist.

And yes, you're totally right about this action here thing, they were admired by men but not much by women (yet we can't probe their untold fantasies).

Tom Selleck was my sis' favorite male figure.

I was popular with women in the 80's, but then I really lost it and became the son of god for a spell, and now, well I pretty much just hang out.

If I was gay, I'd say that they were more attractive than Justin Bieber or The Jonas Brothers.
