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. Iโ€™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 donโ€™t think that women realize what it takes to get jacked like that, especially if you donโ€™t inject any steroids or other hormonal enhancements.

Iโ€™m just at the edge of that sort of physique and Iโ€™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, Iโ€™d have to starve myself for a month and dehydrate myself for three days beforehand (thatโ€™s what he does).

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