Unhealthy Body Images
Freddie Ljungberg - Every Tom, Dick and Harry?
There has been a lot of talk over the years about 'unhealthy body images', especially amongst the female modelling community. I for one never expected it to really become an issue for men until I found myself approaching 30. Now none of the *snicker* male fashion mags I flip through have men with bodies like mine. This is clearly very dangerous and unhealthy. I would like to start a movement (support me here guys and gals) to push for more healthy male images to be mixed in with the clearly unhealthy example above. I will start with a 'plus size' modelling agency for men. The bloke below is clearly more natural and will form a template for future applicants:

A more 'healthy' male body image
You see, I really find it dangerous and disturbing that millions of young men all over Australia force themselves to eat fresh fruit and vegetables and visit the gym regularly all to emulate the 'unnatural' body images of male models. Clearly a healthy male would be more accustomed to BBQ's, beer, armchair sports and a more rounded physique?

Is that you, shroom?
Serious note: incidence of anorexia and bulimia among men is on the rise. Men actually have a more limited portrayal in the media to compare themseves too: the standard is buff six-packed tanned, minimally haired. At least women have a few differing standards of perfection to aspire to. /serious note.

Ahhhh Freddy. He is one fine fine piece of manhood - beats Beckham anyday.
Unfortunately if you create a modelling agency for plus size men shroom they will only get work at those Big'n'Tall stores.

whats the problem here? fat guys ram fat chicks and ugly chicks pash the ugly guys. it all balances out in the end.
but i guess thats not the point of this post is it?
By Mex, at 7:00 PM
I really dunno if there was a point. Chesty seemed to lower (or prob increase) the tone by adding something serious.
By mushroom, at 7:04 PM
and let me guess... this 'Freddy' of which you speak... is his nickname "Fat Freddy"?
By Mex, at 7:23 PM
Nah freddy the model mex dear. The eye candy i provided for you girls before you got the gross out when you scrolled down.
How funny is that LaRue, a fat dude saying his wife cant get fat.
By mushroom, at 7:30 PM
I think the grossest thing about freddy is the hair - it's all uniform as though he recently shaved himself of something.
By MissE, at 7:35 PM
oh ok - so who's the fat guy?
(and dont play dumb - we all know its you)
By Mex, at 7:42 PM
OK ok already mex.........its fingers.
By mushroom, at 7:55 PM
You girls are so insensitive to mens issues, especially you mexicana
By mushroom, at 7:58 PM

By Mex, at 8:03 PM

I thought we were discussing how great it is to live in a world where fat guys can jump hot chicks coz they're cashed up...
By fingers, at 8:39 PM
Sorry for the confusion. AMEN brother! Does it work if you just pretend you are cashed up??
By mushroom, at 8:54 PM
Sure does !!!
Coz everyone knows the hottest trouts are the dumbest.
Which was actually a Rod Stewart song until his PR team had a hissy fit.
The hot trouts are the dumbest,
Baby I know...

By Mex, at 9:19 PM
Follow your dreams, you too can reach your goals. Beefcake! Beefcake!

It's better to be hot than clever sometimes...
By fingers, at 9:59 PM

By Mex, at 10:17 PM

Freddie has excellent "David" lines.
Mmmm.
By Thursday's Child, at 11:44 PM
are they the ones at the bottom of the stomach muscles that point downwards??
By mushroom, at 11:51 PM
Oh yes they are. Yummo.
By Thursday's Child, at 12:17 AM
'David' lines?
I always just called them arrows ...
By MissE, at 12:21 AM
See you chicks are part of the problem, forcing men to be unnaturally hot ;-)
By mushroom, at 3:54 PM
"david lines"?? "arrows"??
dur... its called the V
By Mex, at 4:28 PM
I thought the 'V' was your map, Tassie...
By fingers, at 4:38 PM
no - thats more like an "I"
By Mex, at 5:47 PM
I wonder if i could just pencil on those v lines?
By mushroom, at 6:19 PM
Just use contouring shadow and you should be right.
The v. Heh.
By Thursday's Child, at 7:06 PM
Ooooh...my people love the 'I'.
Very porno...
