What is An Attractive Man? Ireland 1967

It is not all about muscles. Women give their views on what they find attractive in a man.
Reporter Cathal O’Shannon asks young women about the physical attributes that they find attractive in men.
According to those interviewed, both physical attributes and personality contribute to the attractiveness of a man.
"I don’t like a man who’s too preoccupied with his own masculinity."
Musical talents also featured in the list of desirable characteristics.
"I’m very attracted to men who are able to sing and play music."
One woman says she like a well-proportioned man in terms of height and build.
"I find those muscular men rather revolting to look at."
Another woman reinforces this view,
"...Apollo type specimens of humanity which I find rather disgusting looking."
This episode of ‘Newsbeat’ was broadcast on 27 June 1967. The reporter is Cathal O’Shannon.

For years it was that way for women too, only one kind/build/shape ever portayed as attractive though recently it has become more diverse for women. Sadly things are still very narrow for men.

Well that couldn't be further from the truth. Men historically never sought women as peers since God made both complimentary but distinct and different. One who provides in the home and the other outside. Women like bigger physical bodies than themselves, men like the hourglass shape which signifies fertility. Men like young woman because fertility.

Firstly, EVERYTHING that went out on TV was rehearsed and scripted, and secondly the only people who would be allowed on were vetted, hence the accents. The roving microphone was only introduced to Radio in the mid 1980's and to TV in the late 1980's post Eurovision domination.

[@RUNtvHD]

It’s interesting isn’t it. I’m pretty young but even my own parents seem to shift their accent on demand and kind of aspire to speak in a more “proper” way.

Nah you need to lay off her, she was answering the question as it was asked but wanted to make clear at the beginning that her preferences were only ideals, and not a deal breaker if not met. I'm sure if asked the same you would be able to compile a list of physical attributes you are generally more attracted to, but that doesn't mean that's the only kind of woman you would ever find attractive.

[@user-pc7ef5sb6x]

Women lie about what attracts them to men. It's because they don't want to seem shallow. That's why these questions are completely pointless and irrelevant.

[@smashmusique]

To me, it's an indication that women have way less libido overall. Of course a beautiful face is attractive to them and the most(not only) important thing, but it's more uncounscious to them because of the lower sex drive I think. Men are more inclined to say physical attributes are important because of higher libido and are less picky, even though physical attributes are important to both men and women... maybe even more for women as they become more selective with more male offers.

[@wireshrub]

They don't seem able to say they want a muscular man but not a bodybuilder.

[@maaz322]

The way they discuss their revulsion sounds like they're starting to see bodybuilders and gym-goers on the street regularly, not just as an exotic characterization on television. Sorry to burst your bubble, but most mature women don't or didn't want overly muscular men. It probably was never a preference in human population, since humans tended to be underfed and lean for all their existence. The burly man has been normalized in cinema as highly desirable, so now women, who base their sexual preferences on societal acceptance and status, would pursue men who can imitate that physique. That's the major reason they're favored, but by which age group? Even present studies show that moderately mature women interesting in long-term relationships favor less muscular men. So basically all your 'gains' was just to be eye candy for women you won't even form a permanent bond with. It's a defining feature of the west's female sexual revolution-male objectification, yet you think it's masculine?

[@michael1]

They've picked particular women to film. It's like if you see footage of people on the BBC TV 5 and half decade ago they all have received pronunciation and are well spoken - that doesn't reflect Britain today but it didn't reflect it in the past. Somewhat ironically the BBC kind of went to the opposite extreme, now everyone on TV has to have a silly regional accent. But, if these people had just filmed random women and asked them question they've had met the same dumb people you see on modern videos where they film random people. In short : Deciding people were more intelligent or better spoken in the past based on this video is selection bias. It'd be like deciding that Americans are thin or attractive based on watching a TV show like House - in reality the general population is mostly fat and demented but TV and the movies selects specific people who aren't like that.

yes, women have been basically lying for centuries. First to themselves, then to each other and finally to men.
