If porn creates negative unrealistic expectations of women to men, are there media forms that create the unrealistic expectations of men to women, and are there examples?

This is a good thread. Most are accurate. I’d add (others in that thread say this too) that a lot of women now expect you to have a chiseled, perfect body with a six pack (ร  la Hugh Jackman in the later Wolverine films) while they look like a crack-smoking dumpster orangutan themselves.

I don’t think that women realize what it takes to get jacked like that, especially if you don’t inject any steroids or other hormonal enhancements.

I’m just at the edge of that sort of physique and I’ve worked out ~six days a week for an hour-ish or more every day for six years to get there. And to actually look like Hugh Jackman in a shirtless scene, completely ripped abs and all, I’d have to starve myself for a month and dehydrate myself for three days beforehand (that’s what he does).

That is a hugely unrealistic expectation that more and more women seem to have.
