This Is Why Men Are Obsessed With Sydney Sweeney
Why do so many men love Sydney Sweeney?
If you said “boobs,” you’re likely right, but there’s more to Sydney Sweeney’s appeal than just her physical beauty. So I implore you to keep reading – because the Euphoria actress’s energy and behavior is something we could all observe and learn from.
Why Men Love Sydney Sweeney
Sydney Sweeney is the modern-day Marilyn Monroe: curvy, blonde, and a sex symbol. She uses her beauty and confidence to attract her audience.
Sweeney is a siren, as described in Robert Greene’s book The Art of Seduction: “A man is often secretly oppressed by the role he has to play, always having to be responsible, in control, and rational.
The Siren is the ultimate male fantasy figure because she offers a total release from the limitations of his life.
In her presence, which is always heightened and sexually charged, the male feels transported to a world of pure pleasure.
She is dangerous, and in pursuing her energetically, the man can lose control over himself, something he yearns to do.
The Siren is a mirage; she lures men by cultivating a particular appearance and manner. In a world where women are often too timid to project such an image, learn to take control of the male libido by embodying his fantasy.”
The actress is, yes, the classic Hollywood glitz and glamour girl, and women either hate her or love her.
They love her because she makes a great aspirational idol and is incredibly feminine; they hate her because she’s “hypersexualized.” Other women will argue that they don’t like how she seemingly reduces femininity or womanhood to her sexuality.
And, let’s be honest with ourselves: Some women also hate her because they’re jealous.
I won’t disagree with the hypersexualization part – Sweeney is almost always showing off her assets in premieres, shows, and movies, as we’ve seen with her latest rom-com, Anyone but You. But don’t worry, I don’t believe that you have to do all of that to be sexy – it’s all about being vivacious and feminine.
Sweeney’s energy is very reminiscent of Monroe’s seductive aura. For example, in her interviews, she is incredibly girly.
Even as she ate spicy wings in Hot Ones, the blonde bombshell provided the fan service of intense eye contact, smiles, and laughter. It’s as if she’s always having fun and enjoying your company, and I’ve noticed that this is an aspect that guys love about her.
She has the behavior of someone who is giving you attention – something that a lot of men don’t get. As I’ve shared from the Robert Greene quote, in a society where women are far too timid or sometimes harsh, Sweeney is an icon that embodies men’s fantasies.
A lot of women are closed off or immediately want to push men away for a myriad of reasons, while Sweeney comes off as open and inviting with her sultry walk and gaze. Think the hot and kind girl-next-door.
Just take a look at how she looks at her co-star, Glen Powell. The way she glances at him is enough for people to question her relationship with her current fiancé (they’re doing well btw).
I blame the social media, lockdowns, and masks, but tons of people have become antisocial and awkward. Eye contact is not easy for a lot of Americans right now. So, in a world where people often avoid each other, if you stare into a man’s soul softly, slowly, I promise you he’ll cave.
Another reason why Sweeney is so attractive to men is because, well, she’s refreshing. She’s the opposite of the Amy Schumer archetype, which is “unsexy,” raunchy, and not-so-classy. Apologies to the comediennes for using them as the example in this article, but the Schumer persona in Hollywood (think Sarah Silverman or Chelsea Handler) has dominated the media for so long that Sweeney is like eye bleach to men. I’m not just talking about appearances; I’m speaking about actions here. Schumer is always going on about how men are disgusting, “girlbossing,” and independent, while Sweeney kindly acknowledges her male fans and even feeds into their innermost desires. She’s like a damsel in distress, waiting for a man to save or help her. Everyone knows this, hence why SNL even leaned into this idea of her being this male fantasy:
In the sketch, Sweeney is a Hooters waitress who acts dumb by “accidentally” spilling beer on her table. She apologizes, and one of the guys says, “It’s okay. Anything you do is okay.” Now, I’m not celebrating SNL’s writing – the episode was sexist, not funny, and uncreative. I’m simply proving how she leans into the I’m just a girl role rather than bashing men like other celebrities. Men are more attracted to women who aren’t trying to one-up them.
It’s Not Just Her Body
Many people think men wouldn’t be into Sweeney so much if it weren’t for her physique. I’d argue that her appeal has much to do with her appearance but that a huge part of it is her personality. Ana De Armas also gets tons of love from men, and while she’s a bit on the smaller side, she’s just as much of a siren as Sweeney.
Anyway, Monroe was one of the most beautiful women in the ’50s, yet when she acted timid in public, no one noticed her. Amy Greene, the wife of Monroe’s photographer, wrote about the time when the actress was nearly invisible until she changed her demeanor: “I’ll never forget the day Marilyn and I were walking around New York City, just having a stroll on a nice day. She loved New York because no one bothered her there like they did in Hollywood, she could put on her plain-Jane clothes and no one would notice her. She loved that. So, as we were walking down Broadway, she turns to me and says, ‘Do you want to see me become her?’ I didn’t know what she meant, but I just said ‘Yes’ — and then I saw it. I don’t know how to explain what she did because it was so very subtle, but she turned something on within herself that was almost like magic. And suddenly, cars were slowing, and people were turning their heads and stopping to stare. They were recognizing that this was Marilyn Monroe as if she pulled off a mask or something, even though a second ago nobody noticed her. I had never seen anything like it before.”

Sweeney has mastered the art of what people like to call the “Marilyn Monroe effect.” She understands the power of perception and embraces her sex appeal. How she moves and talks shows that she is self-assured and very confident. She’s not just beautiful; she also embodies a persona that could command attention.
The truth is, some of us have lost the spark that Sweeney has, and we could all learn to be more confident, kind, and sexy.
