Wait a minute... this should really be exclusive to women.

Seriously. This needs to be exclusive to women, because implying that it could work as written when used by a man makes biologists, especially anthropologists, cry. I say this because the way it's written strongly implies the bearer has attractive female features. Attractive, as in they are specifically attractive to straight males and lesbian females (and bisexuals), because they serve as indicators of female fertility (I majored in Biology, I know what I'm talking about here). These features are only attractive on women, because like it or not, our species has evolved to hold different standards of masculine beauty and femine beauty. Attractive feminine features would not be attractive on a man, nor would they be attractive to a straight woman or gay man. I am quite sure that it is possible for a man to be "too hot", but those features would carry rather different in-game consequences. --Luigifan18 (talk) 05:00, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

1st. Luigi, you seem to have been on TVTropes for too long, you're turning into a trope. I recommend detox and 500cc of Eiji.

2nd. What?

Uh... are you... unfamiliar with bishis? Or traps? Or... yeah. Not even gay, but even I get what's attractive about this stuff, nevermind people who actually are gay. Turns out that what one considers attractive is not a universal constant, and boiling it down to base biological instinct makes you look really, uh, ignorant on the subject. -- Eiji-kun (talk) 05:38, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

It Fabio buff. --Leziad (talk) 05:49, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Nobody weightlifts like Gaston. --Ganteka Future (talk) 05:53, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Let also avoid biological determinism in the future, sexology and biology are different fields for a reason. --Leziad (talk) 07:41, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

It doesn't even have to go this far before Luigi's ideas are proven untrue, when you consider that the overwhelming majority of people will either consciously or subconsciously alter their behaviour around people depending on their appearance, and that this trait could very well be an exaggerated example of this phenomenon. --Sulacu (talk) 08:01, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Yes, but this is actually about being so sexy that the opposite gender can't help but take notice, not people simply buying into Beauty Equals Goodness. --Luigifan18 (talk) 01:40, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

Your trope of the day doesn't really have anything to do with what we were pointing out. We're saying this totally applies to males as well as females. And also I was pointing out that saying people are only attracted to X Y and Z was dumb. -- Eiji-kun (talk) 01:43, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

Fabio buff has trouble squeezing and it a particular build that make disguising harder, the same penalties for both gender. --Leziad (talk) 01:46, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

As a note, we currently have a game going where two characters have this trait in the party: one guy and one gal. The guy is a giant, muscled beefcake super soldier dude. He's musclebound. Also, it isn't sexual attraction necessarily either. "Oh man, look at that Awesome Talking Sports Car parked over there. A little mud on the fenders ain't gonna hide that. I bet its got a turbo." --Ganteka Future (talk) 01:52, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

Also, if your male with said trait is male model hot instead of buffer than anyone named Armstrong, you could always explain it the braggart way...yer dick's too big to fit through doors. It's probably more comical than a woman getting stuck by her curves because, as we all know dick jokes are the highest form of comedy. -SecondDeath777 17:55, 21 January 2018
