Those images that become popular are being followed and repeated by the viewing public until they wear out.

I disagree and I also think you're underestimating the importance of early childhood conditioning via Disney, etc.

Then, new images are created. At present, the public is fed the images of Paul Rudd, Michael Cera and Jason Bateman, as the men-type most women should love, because these guys are so sensitive, so kind, so polite and... well, so womanly. I find it repulsive, personally, but I am not a woman...

Again I disagree. These guys largely star in movies that cater to male fantasies, specifically the ones in which the hapless loser gets the extremely hot woman. In these movies they're still portrayed as less desirable on basic level than a more typically masculine persona. They only get the girl via intangibles and/or fortune.
