I can’t speak for all men, but I can speak for myself. I grew up as a big guy and have serious trouble losing weight. I won’t fall into the gimmicky schemes or dangerous diet practices that seem to abound nowadays. Rather, I try to eat healthy and work out every day. At my largest I was 315 pounds (I’m 6’1) and I hated myself. But honestly, I’ve hated myself my entire life. I got down to 209 lbs and still saw myself as grotesque. Even though societal pressure IS higher on women, it does exist for men. Look at any show on television, who is glorified? Rock hard bodied men with perfect complexions and award winning smiles. I hate these ‘boxes’ that the media puts people in and I hate how women are portrayed in the media. I don’t buy into those stereotypes and I never have. I’ll take a woman with curves and a great sense of humor anyday over a rail-thin, pre-pubescent B**** that’s so shallow she doesn’t realize theres a world outside of her own body. So I guess my response to your original question would be yes, I’m very sensitive about my body and yes, I do care how I look and try daily to change it. BUT, I do it for me and not because I feel that I have to be that way to be acceptable.
