In the U.S. women are expected to be thin, tan, and revealing. In magazines and television shows women are portrayed as super models who resemble grown-up barbies. Even the supermodel image has changed over the years, and it seems like today the ideal model is a thin women with virtually no curves. Since super models are so highly praised for their beauty, women may believe that to be beautiful, they must look like them.
The men that get these supermodel-looking women usually resemble bodybuilders from the waste up (as in more attention is paid to sculpting the upper body). Men are led to believe that being thin or fat is unattractive and undesirable, and acceptance can only be gained if muscles are attained. (look at me rhyming)

How whas the supermodel image changed? What was the image before? I'm not disagreeing with you, i just don't know how it used to be. it is true that the upper body is the majority of what men work on for muscles. The funny thing is that the use for muscles has changed over a long period of time from the usefullness of strength to the attractive in the way muscles look.
Yeah I agree. The people that get the most attention for being beautiful in the media are usually thin, tan and revealing (besides Oprah). So then young girls and boys think that the only way to get attention is to look like them. Good job Sam! by the way I like your hoodie today.
i do think that female models are getting skinnier and males are getting more muscular. When people see this they think that that is what they are supposed to look like if it is unhealthy or not.
i must say those are some dope rhymes..haha i agree with you that men need to be, buff and women need to be thin in societys eyes but in reality its not the outside that makes someone beautiful, its the person within. hopefully people will stop trying to be like the steriotype supermodels.
Back in the day I feel like the women were more curvacious. YadiddddaaaaImsaying?@@?@!??! Now they are skinny and pole-like.
