Seriously why would I even care about guys like Steve Yeun when I have this? https://youtu.be/V2HCaIRoEvk

I’m aware that many Korean women have become infatuated with the actors (hot guys 🥵) in Indian action movies available on Netflix. While I personally don’t enjoy Bollywood movies, I understand that many women find them visually appealing. Although they may not be my personal preference, I can appreciate their physical appeal.
So, what’s my ideal type? I’m not sure. I used to say I prefer hot guys like Chris Hemsworth, but when I really think about dating him in real life, I don’t think I’d actually meet guys like him. I’m more drawn to strategic types. Even comedians sound good as long as they can write really clever jokes. As for physical appeal, it’s hard to say what I like. But I definitely know I wouldn’t date guys like Bo Burnham, Timothée Chalamet, Ryan Gosling, Donald Glover, or Matt Smith. I would prefer sharper images....
Why do women prefer dating “funny guys”? I find it hard to comprehend because my sense of humor leans more towards sharp and thought-provoking jokes rather than just plainly funny ones. However, I’ve observed from personal experience that many women feel intimidated by strong men. In fact, one of my friends even admitted to me that she prefers less attractive men because handsome men make her feel intimidated. (I suppose it’s because she fears competition from other women.) I understand that this might sound antifeminist to some women, but I believe it’s more enjoyable to date strong men, especially if you have a strong personality and competitive nature. It’s not particularly satisfying to completely dominate men; instead, it’s more thrilling to build sexual tension with someone who matches your strength.
Even if you’re a devoted feminist, your job may be more akin to combating systemic bias embedded in patriarchal social structures rather than engaging in individual confrontations with men you encounter in your life. Many women seek support from their boyfriends or male spouses to dominate conversations with them and mislabel it as feminism. Others constantly seek opportunities to engage in futile fights with random men on the Internet and call it feminism. I doubt they’ve ever read any academically significant feminist books. It’s more probable that their understanding of feminism is shaped by the images portrayed in movies and female-oriented marketing materials from various brands.
I personally find it more entertaining to date strong men (mental strength is far more crucial than physical strength, although physical strength is also important) because they present me with greater challenges. Life becomes monotonous without any challenges. Continuous growth, both mentally and physically, arises from having individuals who can consistently challenge you, allowing you to learn from their feedback and criticisms. Weak individuals attempt to surround themselves with people pleasers and suckers. Strong people, on the other hand, don’t require such a network. They possess the ability to think independently and learn from even harsh criticisms. That’s the true strength I seek in a partner.
So, let’s return to the initial topic of Steve Yeun. I’m not implying that he’s a weak individual, but it’s undeniable that he doesn’t appear particularly strong either. (Apologies, Steve 😅)
