Everyone depending on sex, male or female, wants to look great. There is a stereotype that women are mad on their looks, and the only purpose of their lives is looking good. Indeed, women like to be attractive and be in spotlight, but men are also quite similar, when it comes to their appearance. Every male wants to look attractive and handsome, because it gives them self-confidence. I would say that in reality looking good for men is more important than even for women.
Sometimes guys want to look handsome and cool and they pretend to be cool, and want to create a really cool image of themselves, however, not always it is successful. Sometimes we have another image of ourselves, while others have a completely another one from side. So for boys it is very easy to think they are cool, but in reality they may be looking awfully bad.
There is also the other way about. When a guy looks handsome in reality, but he thinks he has got some problems. Actually this is more kind of psychological problem, which can be solved with the help of psychologist.
What are the most common body image problems that men face?
The first thing is connected to weight of course. Most of the women want to look like models, be thin and slim. With men things are different. Most of the men want not to be thin, but to be handsome and look bigger. They do not dream of being fat of course, but they want to have huge muscles and their body struggle is usually connected with gaining muscles.
The second thing is connected to body hair. Some men want to remove body hair, some think that it makes them look more handsome, and they don’t want to remove it. Actually, nowadays more men want to remove the body hair and want to have smooth bodies. Some remove the eyebrow hair, some stay without removing them.
There is another problem connected with hair. Some men go bold and they really do not like that. They try to do everything to have their head covered by hair, but they cannot help the hair loss. This is a reason for another body image problem. However, there are other guys, who are bold, but they create an image of cool bald guy, and they are absolutely fine with it.
The next thing is the problem of height. Some are not satisfied with their heights, and once they have girlfriend they want to look higher than them. This is another matter of image problems.
As you can see, there are problems that are connected with muscles. This kind of problems can be easily solved by working out, while there are problems that do not have solutions. So what we advise men is to accept themselves as they are and try not to change things that are unchangeable.
You can look handsome and cool, no matter you are bald or not, no matter your body is covered with hair or not, no matter you are tall or short. Just work out and have a nice and healthy body and do not forget that the most important thing about men image is his attitude and behavior.
