Does he literally cry over this? If so I feel some contempt towards him. The fact that he compares how sexy his body is Vs. yours seems unhealthy to me and actually kind of strange. Very metrosexual.
Don't feel sorry for all men. I have never for one second felt pressure to have what the culture and media considers a good body for a man. I am somewhere between skinny and average, no muscularity and I love it. Now that I'm in my mid-40s it seems staying thin has kept me more youthful looking.
That's ridiculous. Women have always been interested in how men look, it's hardly a modern thing by any stretch of the imagination. Read a history book for goodness sake.
Yes, but the whole idea of men needing a buff body, 6 pack abs is fairly recent. Up until 25-30 years ago it was quite rare except a small subculture of (mostly gay) bodybuilders. If you went back to the 70s/early 80s you would be shocked how skinny/non-buff men were back then.
I think it all depends on what average means. I don't like average with no confidence. Or really any looks with no confidence. And confidence + the right personality makes any man more attractive.

The whole idea of a woman needing a toned body is recent, too. People used to do things like kayak, play tennis, hike, etc. - not spend hours in a gym to sculpt and tone. And by "people" - I mean men AND women.
Yes, it's so hard for men. I feel so bad for them. They have so much pressure to have a good body. I know my husband cries in his pillow every night because he feels that my body is innately sexier than his.
I know this is sarcastic but women have wayyyy more pressure then men to have a good body.
What I meant was, you seem to think your bf is your inferior...you joke about it, but the sense I got from that post was that.
Of course, I don't know you...so I'm probably way off base...but "innately superior" even when masked in humor leads me to assume that there is something more there.
And it wasn't that funny...just saying...but then again, I've been told I'm not funny...

I seem to think my husband is inferior? And I'm not that funny? Guess we won't be hanging out anytime soon. Thanks.
Way off base doesn't even come close. "Innately superior" was a quote from the OP. That is his WHOLE POINT. That he thinks that society seems to think women's bodies are innately superior. So, yeah - way off base. I wasn't referencing my own feelings but those of the OP's.
This kind of coincides with that OKcupid study about how women aren't attracted to like 80% of men or something like that.
I don't know the stats since I didn't click on it, but if that has any accuracy then there's some answers in that study.
