Hilarious meme demands to know what's preventing men from looking like this

There's a new meme making the rounds on Twitter that asks a very important question: "Dear men, what is preventing you from looking like this?"

To take part in the meme, you simply tweet the question alongside a photo of your dream man. Or a photo of anything, really. The funnier and more nonsensical the better.

The trend was inspired by Twitter user @katiey_KE, who posted a photo of some tanned, ripped abs on May 25, and thirstily asked, "Dear men, what is preventing you from looking like this?"

Even some men had fun with the meme.
