Shocking news from Scientific American!

Media Physiques Prompt Body Image Woes among Men, Too

Ack. Yeah... I don't go for the overly-muscled bodybuilders. That's just so off-putting. I don't mind a little bit of a tummy, and a guy doesn't have to be terribly muscular -- I just like'em healthy and confident. Not that I won't drool over a really nice tush, of course. But I've seen a decent number of guys who can get one with regular, moderate exercise, so I know my personal guy-wishlist isn't very unrealistic. :)

And you've seen me rant about media images, so we won't get into that. ;)

Amen.

Or as I-believe-it-may-have-been-oh-my-god-I-can't-believe-I'm-quoting Demi Moore said (more or less) in (possibly) About Last Night, "I don't want to sleep with a guy whose ass is better than mine!"

Let's see if I can qualify that any more... No?

Oh, EWWWW to the picture! Way too muscled and way too greased up.

Yergh to the picture. I thought mutant muscles were restricted to the X-Men.
