I wish there was more talk like this for men to come forward to create awareness. As a guy who had really bad body image self esteem issues and former borderline anorexic, I feel that the fitness industry and the media always brainwashes us for the perfect body for us to be desirable from the opposite sex. I always thought that girls love guys with abs and muscles because that's what we see around school, movies, TV shows, etc. and whenever we hear for example girls scream whenever they see a hot guy taking of his shirt and for us we would go workout and eat right but in the mirror we would think we are not good enough and then starve for a long time. It is hard to explain. But for many of us we would be afraid to come foreword because we think it only happens to women. Its everywhere especially in grade school and college that it is unavoidable.
@fleepss24079 жыл бұрын
As a guy, these body image issues are definitely something I deal with on a regular basis. Looking at yourself in the mirror it's sometimes hard to "judge" yourself because you don't really have a point of reference for what makes an "ideal body". On the one hand, you have the guys in commercials for 6 pack abs that are jacked. On the other, you have these guys like Arnold that are just huge. And lastly, on the other you have male models in fashion magazines who have an attractive, yet different kind of body altogether. All of them look good, and it's tough because sometimes you don't really know where to "place yourself" in the whole grand scheme of things. And then in the real world, you get such a mix of people that's it's tough to know what's reality and what isn't. In trying to process it all, I've taken a tip from the whole body image issues debate that women face. At the end of the day all that matters is that you're healthy, and you're comfortable in your own skin. For me personally, I've stopped worrying so much about how I look, but rather how I perform. Personally, surfing is a really important part of my life, and optimizing my body to surf the best that I can is really the most important thing for me. After a long time spent training, I've figured out at what size and weight my body feels most comfortable at, and which allows me to perform at my maximum potential and I've been really happy with it. Focusing on performance has indirectly built me an athletic body, and I'm really happy with it. I'm not huge or "jacked" by any means, but I feel good, and I guess that's all that matters. If I were to ever have a son, I think I would tell him to build a body around their favorite sport or physical activity and to reach a level in which they feel comfortable, and healthy.

Thank you for this video! Gender equality, body image, confidence, those are ongoing struggles, for society and for each and everyone for themselves, I guess. I have been aware of men struggling with those issues as well for quite some time now, yet sometimes I still discover new aspects I've never thought about before. When you guys talked about "being tall" generally being one of the central attributes associated with desirable men, I suddenly realized how often you actually hear that particular thing. Guys, this is horrible...while we're fighting for more different body types in women to be represented in the media, I don't see much of that happening for men...I'm definitely going to pay attention to that from now on...

It makes perfect sense that these feelings of insecurity goes beyond so many limits we usually believe contains it. No, it's not just a single gender, no it's not just a single age group, no it's not just a single ANYTHING. We all have these issues one way or the other. I was so happy to hear these men opening up, it's a tough thing to do, but no one will accept that men can have these troubles as well, if we never talk about it. I'm what most would call either a kid or a young man at best, I'm 18. I am of a slender build and not particularly tall. I have so many of the same insecurities as these men. Can I protect my friends? Will a woman touch me and think "this is a mans body" or will she think "wow this is either a skeleton or a child"? Will people look at me and consider me weak and pathetic? That form of thinking is literal bullshit, but our brains do it anyway, pretty damn stupid. That way of thinking got me to try and work out, and I still do to this day, that's indeed a good thing, but I do it for all the wrong reasons.

And for me, attractiveness is a total-person type of thing. It's the whole picture of who you are, not just how you look in photos.

Mixed feeling about this one. While it is true that the media portrays unrealist or perhaps highly unhealthy image of muscular men with very little body fat (4%-9%) range, I believe that another culprit is the food industry. Having a good and healthy body is an ideal but that is not easily attainable because in this day and age when you are surrounded by all this processed and modified foods that is very hard to avoid. People, and not just men, should still be encourage to work out and eat clean but this ery low body fat percenatage and high muscularity is not healthy at all. Even in youtube you will find bodybuilders who tells you the hardships and negativities of reaching that competition physique. The panel in this video is not really a good panel is I may say. I mean if you don't work out and eat right and you complain that you are not even at the good BMI range then that is your problem and not others, but if you ARE in a good BMI range but are still pressured to look jacked and/or ripped then it is the fucking media and shallow societies problem.

i would say that the guy in the tie hit the nail on the head, the "perfect" image of a man or woman is unique per person. everyone has their own idea of it. media has effected that to immense measures and that sucks really bad

honestly, personality makes a man attractive. The love of my life could be a man who is balding, shorter than me and overweight. If he draws me in with his beautiful heart how could I say "no, you don't have the "right" look."? Ideally, we all want to be attracted to our partner but what happens when the looks fade? Will we trade them in for an "upgrade"?

Girls would judge guys based on their appearance, Less attractive guys wouldn't even get a chance. Its just how humans are, can't change biology

What will happen when looks fade? Well, some fade faster than the others. I like the idea of couple's looks fading at the same rate, instead of one of them being good looking while the other is not. At old age, I doubt they'll have enough sex drive, so would looks matter at that age? Not! Trading them for an "upgrade" at that age is pointless.

I don't know its just that I feel like in today's society when "attractive" is mentioned the first thing that pops out is how you look, physically, how engaging to the eye your appearance is. Many, including me struggles with this but, I feel like it's better for me to accept struggle of becoming comfortable about what I truly am, than changing what I am for the sake of people's perspective or impression of me. I feel like if I change for the sake of people around me, I may have changed but I have cheated on who I truly am and killed a little part of the original me.

I think each and every one of these men are attractive (including the host), not just for their looks, but for the kind and sensitive people they seem to be. I have always gravitated more towards men with a gentle side, who are not afraid to express their emotions; to me, that is far more attractive than the shape or size of their body.

Body image consciousness affects me in a very deep level that I don't even recognise it anymore, makes you feel completely worthless and less than a man unless you put on size and muscle, growing up not only naturally skinny but also my bones are too thin, like my hands and wrists are too skinny, putting on size and muscle especially in my arms wasn't just a good plus for me, but something that brings me from zero absolute trash to a normal human being, not to myself because I respect myself, but to people that judge you and those looks and comments they make to you, they are very hurtful

What makes a man attractive to me is when he's genuinely interested in getting to know who I am at the core & wanting to establish a real connection.
@patriciakerslake95048 жыл бұрын
This actually means the world to me because I really feel the even though body image is generally thought of as a ''lady thing'' it almost seems to me that it's worse for guys, like for girls all you have to do is be skinny--not necessarily an easy task--, but for guys you have to work out and get muscles to be like the people in the media. (seriously not trying to offend anyone I'm just trying to put this in context just for reasonings sake--I don't like the media--) I personally think that if you just take care of yourself for you everything else will follow. Love yourself! *heart emoji* *heart emoji*

@dedoubecool7 жыл бұрын
I think although the media defines a certain beauty standard, at the end of the day many people that you meet in real life and that don't fit that standard can be attractive for many different reasons that cannot be shown on a single magazine picture. Often times I will find myself physically attracted to a guy, simply based on his appearance, but without even being able to explain what I like about it.

Hmmmm...I'm feeling these body image issues myself now that I am a man in my 30s. I've always been rather skinny, but that was never a problem (except when I was a teen and my mom thought I should put on more weight). But now that some of my long-time friends are turning a little pudgy/obese, it's become an even bigger pride point, this skinniness of mine. As a result I pay attention to my diet a lot more now, and compliments about my thinness affect me more. A friend told me that I look "much more skinnier" than the last time he saw me and I was so unusually proud of myself. Though I knew that was partly because I had clothing then that was much tighter than what I usually wear. So...yeah...these body image issues are real.

In the media we always see mesotipical male at peack muscles development; but that's not only body type, there are also ectotype and endotype people who simply are never going to look like the standard inposed by the media; at the end of the day you shoulden't care what the media says, you should care about your healt and becoming a bether person.

As a teenage girl soon to be an adult, I don't understand why so much emphasis is placed on girls and their body images. The more that it is talked about, almost the bigger of a problem it becomes. I have friends who just love to talk about their bodies and how insecure they are in them, and I feel that constantly discussing the effects the media has on us gives them an excuse to do so. But we never hear about boys/men and how they're impacted by this. Girls weep and moan constantly about the societal pressures put onto them and how they should look, yet turn around and rank how attractive the guys they know are. It needs to stop. The double standard needs to stop. The emphasis needs to be shifted. It almost feels like we are pitting the genders against each other. Everyone struggles with this topic and the emotions that go with it, so why does no one think of men when the words "body image and self esteem" are mentioned? Bottom line, we all need to look out for each other and stop looking solely at the physical appearances of others. there's more than meets the eye

What makes a man attractive is personality and character. Any guy has the potential to get any girl he desires if he has the right personality and character that that female finds admirable.

Bald man, yes definitely. I do know a handful of girls that prefer tall me but for me it doesn't matter at all. I've dated 5ft 3inch men all the way up to 6ft 4in so for me personally height has nothing to do with attraction.

I think what does make a man attractive. Is not his physical type or what he's wearing but the way he is... I mean, if he has that sweet but naughty look, if he opens the door for you, or let you go first on the line or even give you a sweet smile Ah and for the records... Beard....beard there is no wrong, beard is love beard is life But if you can't grow a beard that's fine too I bet you have you way on being beautiful as we all have 😃
