Think about the asymmetry — if you’re a woman all you have to do is lose weight and men will find you attractive. Women can boost their SMV a bit higher perhaps by hitting the gym somewhat/getting “toned”, but the standard for men is waaaaaaaaaay higher — almost impossibly higher for most men with a full time job.
A lot of men turn to roids to get the gains women want so that they can actually get laid — probably not worth it considering the side effects yet here we are. It’s basically the Fisherian runway at play.
Actors can do it because working out IS their full time job — they memorize scripts and work out. Most men are working full time at some soul crushing job and it’s reasonable for them to work out within reason, but honestly getting movie star gains is practically a full time job barring invasive substance abuse to help it along.
It’s just bullshit that being attractive is so much easier for women — they just don’t have to eat so much, but for men you have to do that AND gymmaxx.
There’s also the Dataclysm book/okcupid and tinder stats showing women rate male attractiveness far more harshly than men rate female attractiveness on top of this so I’m not just spamming anecdotes from my own observation. Women are objectively much choosier when it comes to looks.
