Introduction
The male archetype spectrum is really important when we think about how society views masculinity and attractiveness. It includes various types of male identities that can influence the aesthetic choices someone might make. Understanding this spectrum helps us know which archetypes are considered the most trustworthy, the most attractive, the least trustworthy, and the least attractive.
FYI: Each pillar of the spectrum will be rated in a 1-10 manner.

Robust Prettyboy

My Thoughts
I feel like this thread is the epitome of "Copy my homework but change it up a little."
Still put effort in, though. So definitely take that into consideration, or DNR, I don't actually care.
Fuck E-Boys.
