The Appreciation of the Masculine Form Thread [nsfw]

[kab]

First, I must say that this thread, and it's companion, has the potential to be a great resource and spark for discussion on beauty, body and anatomy, and moving this here from the hidden girls forum is certainly a good thing, thank you.

I do however agree somewhat with Arttorney in that I found your initial statement somewhat offending, as well as some of the posts made by women in one of the threads I'm assuming you were talking about, daestwen.

I mean, why is it (almost) always assumed, that if pictures of a attractive woman is posted by a man on the internet, it is for the purpose of looking at her as a piece of meat? Are we men incapable of looking at women without stripping them of value? Seriously, you'd be surprised at how often we guys get that thrown at us, if we dare discuss a womans looks, we're being assholes.

Obviously some of the comments and pictures posted before were out of line, but sometimes I do get offended when someone jumps in with the "men objectifying women" angle. The thread I saw did not at all seem serious, it was a bunch of over the top "boobs!" comments and if anything was a parody of objectification.

I'm sorry if I implied it was the general rule, because it's not. But there has been some pretty line-breaking stuff posted in the lounge. The reason I posted this thread is because I know all of you don't want to be offensive when stuff like that comes up, so I thought a thread about it where everyone is welcome to post pictures would keep the rude banter (which is more the problem than the pictures) to a minimum.

So if you'll accept my apologies for the generalization, I hope this thread can continue to be awesome for everyone. :]

I don't think men do all the wrong in this world, I'm not one to hang out with other females a lot either because I tend to also be bothered by feminine attitudes too.

As for the vid, at least it's one vid, not people posting multiple vids/animations of "bouncing" and then people quoting those same things (quoting images or vids of the same thing is one of my pet peeves, lol - I saw it already stop posting it as it's on the same damn thread). That doesn't excuse behavior that all men are bad either.

I like men, I get along with them just fine (and yeah women too) my Chinese sign is year of the Dragon which is considered most compatible with Cock.

Funny as hell. Sorry.

This thread lacks some Kevin Smith.

[Sadetar]

Oh, and elderly men, we shouldn't forget them. They are so interesting. For example Ilaekae, but there are others too.

Beards, that's the thing in this category - for me at least.

Here is some pictures from my reference folder. Pity I don't anymore know, where I got these.

Going back a little we have the old school guys like Yul Brynner as Ramses in The Ten Commandments.

This thread lacks some Kevin Smith.

Well, come on then fix it!

[kyurai]

[Serpian]

MOAR.

[Serpian]

I'd switch teams for Hugh Jackman.

[kelly x]

Yul Brynner!! Meow!! My Mom named our cat Yulie, she was madly in love with Yul Brynner...

[IKV Nexis]

That middle one is that HR Giger?

[Earendil]

Hooray for Patrick Stewart! Ok, here are a few.

I thought this was funny.



This is interesting.



Manfairie!



I've always loved this guy.



If anyone has "the family of man" book, that also has some great photos. I don't actually have a lot on this computer...hm.

[IKV Nexis]

Charlton "No Water For HIM!!" Heston

[IKV Nexis]

Of course this thread would not be complete without...

[VirusArtist]

iggy pop.. everything about him tells a story... kind of abstract, but the most interesting male (visually) I can think of.





henry rollins.. intelligent, humorous and built like a tank with tats.





Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje... that guy just intimidates me, wich is good.




henry cele.. just watch shaka zulu... reference for AGES and the most interesting face.

[Cookiedough]

This thread needs more SPARTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Those pics of older males are great. But this movie had a really nice mood/colors.

[jedininjaman]

well here goes every single anatomy bit ive ever memorized
nuff said.
these guys are gorgeous

[Nerahla]

And a random bodybuilders image that isn't totally bloated and on steroids, those are surprisingly hard to find.

This guy is really quite delicious. Being 36, I just can't really go for the under 30s... so these 40s and up who look this good are just... good gawd perfection!!

[Nerahla]

Some more of my esoteric tastes.

Are we men incapable of looking at women without stripping them of value?

Well, if by value you mean 'Whats on the inside.', then the answer is 'kind of'. Men are programmed to look at women from a physical perspective. You can't overcome hundreds of thousands of years of evolution through a 100+ years of modern civilization.

Now I don't know which thread daestwen was referring to when she says she was offended by the "objectification and sexualization of women.", but I fail to see how this thread is any different. And what does that even mean? Men objectifying and sexualizing women is in our genes. You might as well be offended by snoring or fighting. I mean, cmon. Lighten up.

[Arshes Nei]

Please stop turning threads into your political soapbox. She already apologized and why can't you leave it at that?

[Aly Fell]

Elam - Post some examples of the male form that inspire you.

[yoitisi]

Now I don't know which thread daestwen was referring to ... but I fail to see how this thread is any different.

Invalid argument.

If you have an urgent need to discuss these kind of matters please do so in another thread of your own please. You seem to have missed the intend of this thread.

Anyway, some more images. It's all in the moustache, gents Think all of these are portraits of generals from the american civil war, I fail at naming reference properly in my folders...

[Elwell]

Now I don't know which thread daestwen was referring to when she says she was offended by the "objectification and sexualization of women"...

Elam going off half-cocked about something he doesn't know about? Who would have thunk.

[Black Spot]

Those pics of older males are great.

I think it's because there is more variation with the older stars. When I look at a lot of modern stars they sort of blend into each other. That's goes for the females as well.

[Elam]

Please stop turning threads into your political soapbox. She already apologized and why can't you leave it at that?

Soapbox, political, what? you mean like this?

Anyway, question was addressed to her, not you.

[Elam]

And my contribution

[biglu]

Um, anyhoo ... These are all from one of my ref folders. I think MMA fights are always a nice anatomical resource. With one fight, you get views of male form from all angles.
