2. What man gives a fuck about any of this?

Seriously. Are we really having body image anxiety and other wussified, meaningless feelings of low self worth because actors look good with their shirt off and us regular guys don't? I sure hope not.

This just seems like more culturally pushed bullshit to further feminize men. Fuck this.

I traded in my six pack for a keg over ten years ago and I still feel quite good about myself. My wife likes me just fine and as the frontman for a gigging band there are plenty of other women that do too. I'm not depressed, jealous or overly self-conscious because Brat Pitt or Daniel Craig have personal trainers and the time to sculp themselves into Adonis clones. That's their job.

I have neither the time nor the drive to make myself look like that and I couldn't care less that movie stars do. It doesn't hurt my self image at all. Nor would it bother any man I know.

This whole idea is ludicrous to me.
