We Forget We Create Beauty Standards For Boys Too

   It's a shame we forget we create beauty standards for boys too just the way we create for girls. For girls, she has to be light, most brown skinned girls are never babes , Slim, not thin or fat, curvy, not flat. We define for boys, the standards of beauty, hard muscles and four packs. Ladies loved them, they adored the biceps and triceps, and thin and thick boys are sneered at.

 Society confines a man's beauty standards to certain norms, of how he should look. His masculinity is also defined by such standards. I know of how often my skinny friend is insecure about his body, how he talks about hitting the gym and having abs. I feel sorry, I see it in his eyes, that hate, of how naturally skinny he was, no girl wanted him that way. He was always picked over and over.

  Inferiority is associated with this stereotypes, do they have to be muscled to model for those modelling agency? Or to be desirable and be every girl's dream. All body types should be accepted, thin, thick, slim, (pot-bellied men are just lazy to keep fit).

 If we teach boys to be okay with their body types, maybe we won't have so much men obsessed with getting abs than working on their brains. What if we raise boys whose masculinity isn't defined by hard muscles.  Boys who hit the gym not because they want to get abs to impress girls, but just keep fit.

Don't hurt yourself. Give a fuck about what you think about yourself.
