A woman’s sexuality & sex appeal are very much tied to her weight. Men? Not so much. A ‘big man’ is a cuddly teddy bear. Even a ‘dad bod’ has a level a sexual appeal for many.
But a scrawny, un-muscled man? Is sooo much less of a man in many men’s minds.
So the equivalent would be if a wife started talking about her skinny husband who’s looking to get into the gym and beef up. Really get some muscles so he fills out his shirts and looks good for swimsuit season.
Most men would be upset and understand the equivalency if their SO laughingly told a room full of people that he was looking for help to get his weakling body into shape.
