PRESURE 2 BE THIN (presure to be a greek god)?

Question:

okkkkkkk they say models and actreses have unrealistic bodies and gives girl low self asteem the average model is 5'9 size 4 but tell me why most girls in high school may not be that tall but are around that same body size "shrug" And they act like guys can have low self asteem from seeing mens body that are unrealistic like brad pitt, ll cool J and people like that so what is society really saying i think guys get the presure just *** much as girls

Answers:
I think both genders have unrealistic goals for body size/weight. People can only be what they are no more no less...besides beauty is on the inside.

yeah, i agree. except i think that guys usually get all the pills like sterioids to get there muscle, and girls usually get the touch ups on the computers and stuff. its all fake.

Hell Yes! Guys have just as hard of a time and I know many guys with eating disorders and problems because of it!

i hate it wen ppl say that you have to be a certian size but its SUCH a disgusting turn off if a man is too skinny its soo gross or if hes too muscular, usually wen i see a man i like, it has nothin to do with his weight and just the way he is already that attracts me and guys think the same for grls
so i dont see why ppl are pressured, although its human to do that kind of thing which sucks

average size is best, so youre not so skinny ur goin to break like a twig and not too fat where u cant walk past them and not to muscular so that wen they hi five you they kill you

Yes, of course it affects men too, but I just think men and women deal with it differently. What I notice a lot is that women tend to turn their insecurities inwards, so they put themselves down, have low self esteem and sometimes end up developing eating disorders, where as men (and not all men) will often take their insecurities out on women by putting them down about how they look or what they weigh, to lower the woman's self esteem and make themselves feel better.

So it's not that it doesn't affect guys to see all these perfect ideals, it just affects them differently to women and they often deal with it differently. Of course some guys also turn their insecurities and negative feelings inwards, seeking extreme ways to make themselves look and feel better. I know eating disorders in males are on the increase as well as steroid use. HTH : )

PS. I was in no way referring to you, just speaking generally about guys. Hope you were not offended by my comments. Take care.
