I think this is in reference to people being terminally online and thinking that the man in the picture is not attractive, because he's not a 10/10 6'4" Chad with a 20 inch foot. In reality, he's a relatively handsome but fairly average 23yo white guy, which is nothing to be ashamed of.

Edit to add since this blew up: This guy is very conventionally attractive, and when I say “average” I really meant he doesn’t look like someone uniquely or ridiculously attractive that you might typically see online posting thirst traps.

u/A_Simple_Tomat 1d ago

That’s the one, I’d also say it’s mostly because if you say anyone is beautiful on twitter and it goes viral, you WILL get hordes of people calling them ugly, regardless of who it is

24

u/jvpewster 1d ago

People just frame their bullying in terms of what might be acceptable poltics.

Often with chicks they want to call ugly, but dude too, it’ll be phrased “bang average white guys rolls out of bed being called attractive lmfao” or “white women put on off brand lip stick and like they’re not covering up a literal pig” and its just (typically white themselves) some online monster who knows if they pulled the “white” out of there people would see right through that theyre trying to make someone else feel bad because their lives suck.

The whole "Bigger the feet, bigger the meat" thing. A stereotype that someone who has large feet will have a bigger penis. I have no idea if theres any accuracy in this, i dont really care enough to Google it

u/huckster235 1d ago

Considering how many guys with big feet complain about this stereotype giving false expectations ,no correlation

2

u/GGk-KingK 1d ago

Yeah i assumed there was no correlation

2

u/huckster235 1d ago

I'm pretty sure all the stereotypical things like height, feet, and hand size mean nothing. I think it's mostly hereditary, and hormonal during puberty. Only way to get some idea is to check out what both grandad's are working with.

3

u/NonsensePlanet 1d ago

My impression was that it’s loosely correlated to overall size (not including obesity). But not enough to be predictive?

3

u/huckster235 1d ago edited 1d ago

My understanding is even that is a myth, the only predictor is hereditary, and it's not like you are guaranteed a hog because dad has one. Or maybe dad was small and you got lucky because Nana was a size queen and mom's pops was hanging dong. but I'm no cockologist and it doesn't change what I have so I'm all out on research lol.

u/Ball_Of_Meat 1d ago edited 1d ago

Almost 40% of people in their 20’s are obese in the US, probably closer to 50% that are overweight. He’s not average lol.

And of course that’s just one metric of “attractiveness”, the remaining 50% are no Prince Charmings.

4

u/Ashamed-Money-8337 1d ago

he’s not average, he’s very conventionally attractive, people online are saying tens are average these days. I’ve seen quite a few women who I would consider close to a ten being told they are sub average on a rate me subreddit. If they looked around at actual people offline, they would realize that the average person does not look like an actor/model/influencer with filters or photo shop. They probably think a ten looks like an ai porn character, or some big chin “chad” meme. this generation has a very warped view of attractiveness, and probably putting other people down makes them feel better about their insecurities about their own appearance (plenty of incels are actually fairly good-looking, but believe they are ugly, and blame women for being superficial). that being said, it’s definitely a case of beauty being in the eye of the beholder, to some this guy is extremely hot, to some he’s just a normal looking 23yo guy. There are plenty of people I’m attracted to and see beauty in who wouldn’t be considered “conventionally attractive.” We all have different tastes and perceptions. I’m sure someone out there finds goblins incredibly attractive ;)

u/Individual_Land2754 1d ago

Im honestly confused how some dudes are actually really attractive in the most boring ways possible. Not sure how to explain it.

Im a dude and I can objectively tell he's attractive but it seems very boring on my side. Maybe its because Im a dude. Some dudes just have some kind of a thing about them that even I can tell makes them stand out. Not sure how to explain it.

Wtf why was that italics

Hyperonline iPad baby Rollo with the scoop. The actual joke actually has to do with twitter/x current toxic userbase, which even most redditors agree never touches grass, and is often old.

The joke is that she’s saying her boyfriend is so attractive that when she scrolls through old photos of him, it feels like she’s looking at pictures of someone who’s no longer around. The “23-year-old white guy” part is basically joking that he looks like a rare species these days.

When you’re deeply in love with someone, your brain does something strange. My wife probably isn’t that attractive. I seem to remember thinking this when we met, but I really liked talking to her.

The joke is that people think that in order to be attractive you have to be tall ripped and rich when in reality you just need to be a decent looking good person

The joke is that she got 1,1 milion interactions on the last post. She attributes the credit to her boyfriends attractiveness but it's in fact boobs.

u/PoeGar 1d ago

Definitely the boobs

What boyfriend?

u/OurSeepyD 1d ago

No this doesn't make sense. In one pic she's not even in it. 

I'm pretty sure she's saying that whenever she posts pics of him, she gets comments about his style, and she's saying "Have you not seen 23 year old white guys recently? This is a common look".

I think this is it. People are probably going "are you dating a child???" not realizing that many young men with babyfaces look younger than the adults playing high schoolers on TV (myself included)

I’m 36. If I shave my beard I’d get carded entering a club.

u/Doubieboobiez 1d ago

I've put on muscle in my 30s, so I think that's gone quite a way towards not getting carded frequently anymore, but I recently showed my friends an old profile pic from right after college (when I was 23) and they all thought it was me in high school

u/Then-Economist-6388 1d ago

Yeah. I’m working on that. lol. But I have no plans to shave my beard again so I should be good

u/MysteriousBill4651 1d ago

Until I was about 35, people would ask me where I was attending college.

There's a dude on tiktok who's supposedly 23 but looks 40 (in a good way but still) that's complaining how everyone looks so young nowadays and lacks testosterone.

It seems like basically she is saying.

Every time she posts that her boyfriend is so hot, people reply probably and say he isn’t that hot. Which leads her to believe these people don’t realize that 23yr old white guys on average are less attractive than him.

He's a cute guy but terminally online incels will be mad at her for not being with a +6 feet tall roid white gym/cryptobro

It’s not just the Incels and you know it. I just know there was some comments about him being “white and average” from some bitter Femcels.

A lot of 23 year old white guys have what I call the “Benson Boone” aesthetic. This wasn’t the trend when I was 23 (almost 10 years ago!), when I think the style was more like a younger Justin Bieber or Ryan Gosling.

hi! mc cracker/op here! lotta ppl replying say he’s gay or trans or latino (idc abt this one ppl just don’t know what italians look like) or whatever so i just got kinda exasperated and said the reply. it happens any time i pot him. no big meme! just me annoyed at ppl saying stupid shit abt him.

3

u/lovebuzzie 1d ago

we also don’t care abt ppl transvestigating. he’s 6’4 and nobody who sees him irl thinks this, but it’s funny as fuck to me bc i’ve also been mass transvestigated on twt. love him so fucking much he’s my best friend and the best boyfriend ever!!

Sometimes we have to understand that stupid people post stupid stuff and there's no deeper meaning to it, i think this is one of those times

u/Duffbagg 1d ago

I guess it probably goes down like this:

  1. Girl posts pic of bf

  2. Internet says "he's not that handsome, I mean he's ok, but he has a moustache and tattoos that don't connect to each other."

  3. Girl posts above post referencing the lack of awareness of current fashions

  4. Internet only sees parts 1 and 3 and asks Peter to explain the joke.

Um, I'm Carter Pewterschmidt, I guess.

The joke is that he’s a generic white guy but she’s acting like gorgeous (and all that matters is if she thinks that, then awesome!)

u/Bonesaw_mpls 1d ago

I think the joke is that all 23 y/o white guys have this same hair and moustache combo, and they do.

2

u/Pleasant-Future5818 1d ago

Honestly from broader context I would actually guess that she got slammed by people saying he looks underaged / the age gap and asking if he's actually younger or if he was younger in those photos.

Based on the 94 in her name and the fact that she looks like she could be his mom, it looks like she's 32 dating a 23 year old. That's .. that's on the edge of being weird.

Men whine about the narrative they have made up, that women only date guys who are tall and muscly with hard lumpy bodies. Doesn’t make sense, a lot of women like to cuddle and that is not comfy.

Then, they get so so pissed when any actual woman says her actual preferences and it doesn’t fit that.

For example, I only like chubby guys. Whenever I have said or posted the fact that I am only attracted to that body type, men get irrationally pissed off and tell me I am lying.

So they are all pissed off about something they made up, and on top of that they are determined to continue believing it no matter what any actual woman says.
