I heard on the radio this morning that more and more men are seeking help from psychologists in order to cope with their falling self esteem issues. Some won't take off their shirts because they have man boobs, others have different issues related with self image.
I know this is going to sound awful, but YAY! Why am I happy? Because now that it's happening to men I hope it pushes society to DO something about it! (As a side note I still think that if men had periods or babies, periods wouldn't exist unless you wanted them too and having a baby could all be done out of body)
I have also heard that more and more men are going under the knife to perfect themselves, much like soooo many women do now. Sad hey? But yay. Men are finally feeling the push and how much it SUCKS to not be happy with your image due to outside influence!
When R and I were on the cruise I looked around at (mostly men) proudly flaunting their beer guts and said to him "I think I need to think more like a man when I think about my body" hehe How nice would it be (ladies) to walk out in a bathing suit being a size 30 and thinking we are God's gift like so many men do??? Can you imagine that? I can't. But dare to dream.
I am trying to get over my body image issues but they don't seem to go anywhere.
I do love the new Dove commercials though. I really do. They are trying to do something positive unlike mainstream media who only show us thin perfect women and I applaud Dove for that! Aka I support Dove products. :0)
Happy Thursday everyone!
