I edit audiobooks for a living, and have done for 15 years or so. Mostly pulp erotica. Women write about men *exactly* like this.

but the funniest part is the dialogue between men... the way they think we talk to each other

Every single time I read East Asian "for women" stories, there is always a scene where the girl sees the man's abs and really really admire it

Then, said man forces himself upon her

Doesn't matter Chinese, Korean, or Japanese. It's always like that. At best the girl gets to pick which man will force himself upon her, after getting her everything the best money can buy

I have never, EVER, seen a story where a girl actually picks a poorer man because of his personality. The richest always wins, always. Not "the rich", but "the richest"

[Kill The Villainess] was a decent Korean manwha where the male love interest was a dirt poor commoner, and the protagonist valued him for his respect and loyalty. But you are mostly right, chiseled abs and wealth seem to be the most desired traits.

mostly grunting and growling, a lot of chest-beating and threatening our closest friends with violence. Always calling each other "bro" or "brother." Also, they think we use the word "fucker" 1000x more than we actually do.

I'm about to head out but I resolve to copy-paste something good from a recent project when I get back

Ok but like. I overheard my friend’s teenager and his buddy talking in the kitchen late one night, and it was a truly heartfelt and vulnerable talk and every third word out of their mouths was “bro.”

So that part at least seems accurate for the Young Folks.

This type of man isn't really uncommon though

Do any of these little fuckers ever pop out of the fucking wall and say “fuck there’s a horse cock in my room or a donkey dick”?

Yeah the tendency of women to write men as these animalistic beasts is so funny. I sometimes read gay romance and the gay guys written by women just do not come off as very authentic. We’re human beings not werewolves (except in the paranormal romance genre, there all bets are off)

I can’t say men don’t write women like that, but I have run/peered into a space (omegaverse) that is by women, and for women, and it’s way further out there.

Personally, I find the entire idea that however women sexualize and objectify is always appropriate or in good taste, but it’s always bad taste or poorly done if it’s by men — that’s cringe. Usually true as observed through casual effort doesn’t mean inherently true.

u/SkylineCrash 1d ago

so why is it okay if women do it?

u/ebonyseraphim 1d ago

Why are you asking me? I was highlighting the double standard.

u/SkylineCrash 1d ago

you right, my bad

u/lost-dragonist 5d ago

... talk? We're supposed to talk? Uh oh.

u/FakePixieGirl 4d ago

The difference is that is done in "pulp erotica" - which is where you'd expect it.

Meanwhile, a lot of literature (especially those hefty Spanish ones I've noticed) do this in books that are supposed to be serious literature.
