Because that's really more the sort of thing I was anticipating.
I don't have any real issues with it, of course--and part of it is that the pic is of him with his arms back, so less definition anyway. And again I point to 'unrealistic expectations'. Which I have. Obviously.
That's equally attractive, absolutely, but I wouldn't consider that to be more attractive. Saying that people should "work" on something implies that is an ideal physically attractive body, and there isn't. People don't need to be ripped and shouldn't be seen as being less attractive than those that are.
Please don't think that I'm attacking you,. I think I'm more sensitive to this sort of thing because body shaming (on everyone, mainly Jensen, Jared, and Misha) is rampant in this fandom, and it's really unfortunate because they're all attractive and it's good that they don't all look the same. They don't need to. Guys don't need huge muscles just like girls don't need to be ridiculously skinny.
But you did say he needs to work on it, which implies that there is something wrong with how he looks. I can understand expecting someone to look one way and then finding out he doesn't; it was the use of "needs" that bothered me here

Heh, well, I probably need to tweak my initial reactions to a point, but this one was pretty much based on natural expectations. And everyone has expectations, I think. Mine happen to be founded in personal, immediate experience. I expect certain things because my experiences have framed them as 'normal'. They aren't really normal for the general population, but it's a basic, ingrained sort of thing

Heh, I read somewhere today that the handprint was supposedly healed at the end of 5.22, to which I cry 'Bah!' and maybe also 'Fie!' Because maaaaaaaan.
Also I looked at the shirtless pic and my first thought was, "He should work on his pecs some more...."
I'll admit, this makes me frowny face. :/
