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.
They are not. I dated my personal trainer a while back and he was very unconfortable. It was lile laying on a rock. On the other hamd he was super hot, just not confy
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"

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?
My dude your where's shirt?
Dude, where's your shirt?
"ROOKIE MOVE" made me chuckle
"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.
The idea that women only like strong, muscular men is a big trope that has been around for a long time. Hence these covers.
Also remember who media targets. Mostly men will watch movies of “fat dude wins the girl because he’s funny” but the vast majority of people watching the Hallmark channel films are women and it’s always “generically attractive man and generically attractive woman find love”
Isn't "fat ugly dude wins smoking hot woman because he is smart and funny and kind to animals" the plot of Shrek, though? Sure, he's not kind to donkey at first, but ultimately he is. Princess Fiona is smoking hot in the Shrek world, and possibly a smoking hot ogre - who knows with ogres?
But yeah, I can't think of an inverse cultural example. I wonder if it's actually pretty common in real life, though.
Shallow Hal? Maybe?
Dammit, who stole their shirts? Those hunks will catch a cold!
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
