Men do not want to see female superheroes with broom stick size arms beating crap pout of Spetnatz style of men even if they are a robot and the women want to see masculine men dripping with testosterone kicking butt.
Excellent post and spot on. I don’t watch many movies but, when I do, I turn to Turner Classic Movies or some of the classic movie channels on Roku. I even love silent films, with “Metropolis” being my favorite.
I also enjoy silent movie comedians, such as Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd. They didn’t look the part of the stereotypical masculine hero, but they often saved their “damsels in distress”.
As for Classic “talkies”, my favorite actor is Cary Grant. He was so versatile. He could be strong and sexy but, at the same time, could also be hilarious.
The only recent movie I’ve seen is “Bohemian Rhapsody” because I’m a huge fan of Queen. I downloaded it from the Apple Store and watched it at home.
I’m not ashamed to say that I’m a fan of the Alpha Males in older movies. The women were strong in their own way, but still feminine.
