Male body image

January 14th, 2009 by Me

A fairly interesting post on one man’s body image and how images in the media affect him.

I couldn’t figure out why women (straight women, at least) wanted to gawk at sexy pictures of other women. Then I realized something: they don’t want to see those models, they want to be them.

Somebody way smarter than me figured that out a long time ago and started making serious cash selling women images and ideas that breed dissatisfaction and self-doubt.

Somebody give this dudely genius a biscuit. Self-hatred and negative body image comes from people trying to sell us shit? Huh. Who’d have thunk it?
