Weird question for girl nerds

[Rhea]

"He explained that in space you get weightless, and so your flesh expands. What? But your bra doesn't, so you get strangled by your bra. That's why I couldn't wear a bra in the first Star Wars."

LOL, I forgot that was kinda pre-lycra bras. I didn't really get boobs worthy of a bra until age 35, so I forgot about that.

OTOH if a mans breasts were jumping around like crazy it would be a bit of turn off. You rarely get any mens bits jumping around - well except if they're relatively well endowed sprinters in tight lycra. I mean that's practically hypnotic

Really? I thought bouncing muscular man-boob was girl-candy? Have I completely misunderstood this?

Yes.

They shouldn't move if they're muscular. Rock hard man.

Hans and Franz (and Arnold) would disagree:

Muscle bounces more than fat. It's only hard at maximum contraction, which never happens outside the gym, (if the guy is very muscular). Although, there is a trend in action-movies where the stars have to do pretty extreme lifts and pulls right before every take to make them maximumly vasculated. So there's a gym directly out of frame the star will rush to and from between takes. But even vasculated muscles will flop around if there's a lot of shaking. So it's impossible to completely negate.

This is what he told Carrie Fisher:

"He explained that in space you get weightless, and so your flesh expands. What? But your bra doesn't, so you get strangled by your bra. That's why I couldn't wear a bra in the first Star Wars."

But at no time in any of the Star Wars movies were they in a weightless environment (all ships that she was in had artificial gravity), so that's a pretty poor explanation.

OK, it's a running gag that most male nerds have an obsession with the Princess Leia slave outfit. I don't care for it myself, but there is no denying that a lot of male nerds are obsessed with it. So much so that it is the source of a lot of jokes about nerd culture.

So here's my question. Is there a female equivalent to this? Is there a male image from science fiction or fantasy that titillates female nerds in general, or you in particular? Is there an outfit you would ask your guy to cosplay just so you can get a charge out of it?

A Star Fleet uniform.

Would a Wesley Crusher jumpsuit do?

I think I need to see more well built actors running topless to judge for myself

uh... no, not that one. lol

I saw an interview with Chris Hemsworth talking about this when shooting Avengers. This was for a fitness channel. They showed pictures of it. Just absurd, the gym circus required to make it work. And then they're only that vasculated for a few seconds, and they have to go an pump again. They cut all salt and sugars from the food. Diet is absurdly strict... in a non-healthy way. And it's not just these kinds of films. The same thing was going on when doing a film like Fight Club. Saw Brad Pitt talking about similar stuff going on. By the end of a days shooting he had done 10 000 push-ups and just as many sit-ups.

It's tough being an actor nowadays. I don't think someone who looked like John Wayne would get a look in

Ya, and in exchange they only get millions of dollars, worldwide fame and legions of nubile young women throwing themselves at them.

It really makes you wonder if it's worth it.

And only work 3-8 months out of the year, sometimes not everyday, while being coddled the whole time.

Er, rubber and elastic have been around since the 1940s.

In 1977, this was pre-Wonder Bra days, so 'underwire' armor-like support bras were rare and bras were mostly soft elastic things.

Yeah, I guess I was asking more about outfits/costumes than particular men. So far we have a vote for Assassin's Creed outfits and Starfleet uniforms.

In my experience it's other-men candy.

Eh, when I talk to women, they all seem to have different preferences about preferred body types, which is not that different from men, really.

So women are either into buns-of-steel or man-boobs?

They can also be into really skinny guys, or if they are on the large side themselves, may prefer men who are also on the large side.

Just like men can like skinny girls, athletic girls or voluptuous girls.
