I like how clear the difference is between the ones aimed at men and the ones aimed at women.
- Tbf as a woman I never understood those. It's not like it's a picture book. If it was a comic book or a story full of pictures, like kids books, it would be a lot more interesting
  
  Btw only noobs like shredded guys. Every woman knows a dad body is a LOT more confortable to spoon with.
  
  Honest question: Why? Muscles aren't hard when they're relaxed, a muscular person would still be soft and cuddly if they're not flexing.
  
  You. I like you.
  
  I feel the same about women. Mom bods feel pretty damn great.
  
  Or if you're my ex you just do all of the above.
- Straight dude here trying to figure it out.
  
  The only thing I got is that one has a woman on the cover.
  
  Otherwise I got nothin.
  
  Maybe the ones with a face vs without a face? As a gay I'm lost here too
"Wicked cowboy wolf"
Fan service section
Is the guy in the very first top book wearing a bra?
- He will pretend it's the shadow...
- Perhaps
- Big enough pecs circle around through the gender spectrum back into boobs.
Where's your shirt, dude?
- Dude, where's my shirt dude?
  
  Where's your shirt, dude?
"ROOKIE MOVE" made me chuckle
Dammit, who stole their shirts? Those hunks will catch a cold!
"Men have such unreasonable body expectations of women and objectivity them in media"

(Yea, I know women who say this while reading these books)
- I mean... they're right. It's just that it's also true for men.
  
  I feel like you see a lot more of the whole "fat ugly dude wins smoking hot woman because he is smart and funny and kind to animals" trope than the opposite. In fact, I can't really think of a single example of the inverse other than... Shrek? And even that's a stretch.
DUDE! Too bad Ashton Kutcher turned out to be a rape apologist
- True, but that doesn't invalidate jokes at the expense of a movie he was in.
  
  Also true but anything associated with him makes me sick now
