I changed the title a little, and I don’t think it’s necessarily right, but it makes more sense to me this way. The translation is calling it “sporting ideal”, with the joke being that she’s attracted to the hockey player and is then disappointed to see him without his bulky hockey pads. I changed it to “sports idol”, even though it seems that “idol” is a completely different word in Hungarian. If any Hungarian speakers would translate it differently, please let me know!

    Now that you mention it, the fact that men didn’t end up being the gender to wear high heels and suits with shoulder pads is a mystery.

      Male suits have shoulder pads, and men have worn high heels in some cultures. It’s cyclical.

      It’s because of patriarchy. For virtually every culture for the past several thousand years until modern times, women had minimal agency in who they married. So male “fitness” became more about jockeying for position among other men rather than trying to attract women.

      Too obvious. We have this weird thing where most kinds of masculine compensation is a sign of weakness or cheating and un-masculine. See: toupees, codpieces, Viagra, HRT, high heels, steroids, makeup, plastic surgery, padded shoulders. It has to be “natural” or at least convincingly so or it won’t be accepted
