It has become increasingly prevalent in entertainment, media, and advertising in recent years to focus on the beauty of the “ideal” male form.

In the simplest of conclusions, men, at least to the general public, are starting to care more about how they look and how that affects their perception of self, and it inspires a vast array of controversial discussions. This video and its accompanying study aim to put contemporary “ideal” male specimens under scrutiny, front and center, as physical representations of a massive survey, both theoretical and empirical in nature. We hope to spark a more open and important dialogue regarding men’s relationships with their bodies, ethnicity, masculinity, and personal expression of beauty.

We gathered information from professional publications, entertainment, and social media to determine: how have popular culture and media shaped our views on ideal male beauty?




We also conducted our own independent study and asked for personal insight from the most important authority on men’s relationships with beauty and fashion: you

The survey in Nigeria showed the follwoing:


• “Hottest” male celebrities: D’banj, David Agbodiji, Iyanya
• The Nigerian entertainment industry, or Nollywood, is hugely influential in West Africa and produces the second highest number of films per year in the world after India’s Bollywood.
• Nigerian male music stars in particular are idolized by teenagers.
• Traditional Nigerian culture views sturdiness and strength as the male body ideal.
• A small study from the University of Nigeria published in 2007 found that Nigerians in their early twenties viewed masculinity as “culturally superior” to femininity.
• Those surveyed said that important elements of masculinity in Nigerian culture include physical strength, bravery, protectiveness, assertiveness, virility, and lack of emotion.


Physical strenght, bravery, protectiveness-'mancho or akpobi ness', assertiveness, virity and LACK OF EMOTIONS.

Nigerian girls don't like guys who show emotions simple. you must be ruthless and unconnected emotionally then the love will be a game and interesting to the girl. WORD.
