I'm not sure if twinkish-looking famous guys are really that limited in number. I mean, I guess there's a lot fewer of them than there is of more stereotypically masculine men, so okay they are comparatively few in number. But I don't think they're all that rare, really.

However, other than that, yes, I feel this secret very, very much. Also, I think one aspect that's being overlooked ITT is that famous twinks (or twinkish-looking men) do not merely age out of their twinkishness. Many of them hulk out of it. They get cast in some action movie and a year later they look eight years older and twenty-five pounds of muscle heavier. Or they deliberately style themselves out of it by growing facial hair, getting the most rugged-looking haircut they can, and sometimes even getting subtle facial fillers to make their faces more typically masculine.

I think if all the twinkish-looking famous men merely aged out of their twinkishness, those of us who find pretty, twinkish men the most attractive would probably be less sad to see them go. The natural aging process is one thing. Going on steroids that help you put on twenty pounds of muscle and also subtly change the shape of your jaw bone is a totally different thing.

This is exactly what I was talking about, and I don't understand what everyone in this thread was getting at. A lot of actors who are known for being pretty and non-traditionally masculine and even talk about how happy they are with being that almost inevitably end up doing roles where they have to bulk up to a ridiculous extent. And then everyone goes on about how much more attractive they are now because men are so much more attractive when they look aggressively masculine, amurite?

This was a comment secret, and the lovely maker chose two photos a lot closer in age than I would have which I guess caused some confusion. Or people think DILF is an age thing rather than a specific type of look. But I was specifically talking about how actors who get a reputation for being 'pretty' almost always end up being put in positions where they have to become more traditional, not that they AGE.
