The Rise Of The Skinny Man by shesi(m): 7:46pm On Jul 27, 2011
this is something i've been noticing more and more over the last few years.
It used to be that the standard for guys to aspire to was a beefcake physique. bulking, muscle-bound. Failing that it was okay to be a "man of substance" (i.e. more than a few extra pounds)


but you look around these days and things are looking quite different. just look around tv, men's magazines, everywhere. the anchor men are looking rather 'trim', the male models these days are botherline anorexic (there's even such a thing as manorexia these days), even the sportsmen are looking more and more trim. the fashion trends for men are all about skinny. skinny jeans, trim suits, form fitting shirts, form fitting pants,
WTF is going on?

I see what's going on. It's the women driving this. They are bitter that society requires them to be skinny to be considered attractive and now they are trying to do the same thing to us guys. This is the work of the womenfolk.

We must fight it. asap.lol. I can't give up my beers.

By your words, men have no brains.

I dont think that is so. SKinny men are not in vogue. Trim men are in vogue. but so are muscular men who look good. you know right proportions.

Hmmm, so OP you admit that you men put unnecessary pressure on women to look a certain way since you say this is our way of getting back at you guys? Better yet, are you one of those people who are out of shape?
