Summary of "MEN DID THAT [Do women like strong men or not?]"
Overview
The video argues that women generally do like strong, muscular men, and that the belief that they don’t is misinformation—especially from feminists. It presents several related claims:
- “Men convinced us” about the muscle-to-attraction link
- Women’s preference for strength supported by studies
- Moderate muscularity matters more than “too much”
- A “cross-sex mind reading” failure explains online contradictions
- Social media distorts interpretation of motives (“the internet is fake”)
- A critique of a specific reaction video
- Practical advice for men
- Provocative claims about dating and “who you attract”
Main Claims
“Men convinced us” about the muscle-to-attraction link
The creator frames the idea that lifting improves dating prospects as something men promoted to other men. They argue that social messaging has misattributed what women want.
Women’s preference for strength as evidence-based
The narrator cites research suggesting physical strength heavily influences male attractiveness, claiming that the strongest men are consistently viewed as most attractive.
They also argue that preference for strength increases in short-term relationship contexts (interpreted as reproduction/DNA-related), while long-term relationships involve more emphasis on resources and support.
Body type matters—but “too much” muscle isn’t necessary
They claim women typically prefer men who are fit and lean rather than extreme “muscle-princess” bodybuilding. The creator argues that moderate muscularity (without going overboard) is sufficient and still receives positive attention.
A “cross-sex mind reading” failure explains online contradictions
The creator argues that:
- men speak more directly about attraction, while
- women are presumed to conceal what they truly want because admitting it would make them look bad.
Therefore, women may provide “acceptable” public answers that don’t reflect private desire.
Social media distorts motives (“the internet is fake”)
The video claims that what men and women post online isn’t what they truly feel—especially regarding fitness and dating—because social media rewards performance and status.
Reaction to a Specific Example
The narrator critiques another woman’s reaction video, which implies men work out for other men rather than for women. The creator presents this as an example of misunderstanding female attraction and male behavior.
Practical Takeaway (Aimed at Men)
The creator advises men to:
- work out, and
- also improve personality and social understanding to meet what women “truly want” (framed as “good guy stuff” as well).
They argue the best strategy is to focus on being socially valuable rather than relying on showing off one’s body directly to women.
Dating Strategy Claims
The video suggests that:
- “showing your body” primarily attracts men, while
- showing yourself to women through social context (and other women’s attention/status) is what increases the chance women will engage.
It also claims that women who respond purely to physique may not be the women men should pursue or keep.
