Why are most gay men really skinny
Is it possible the the gay man is the reason women think that skinny is beautiful?
The preferred female form for most men is Not a size 0. In reality, this slightly NSFW article states that men choose women much curvier than woman believe. And I agree fully. Even some classical symbols of beauty, that are surely no Kate Moss or Mary Kate, aren’t curvy enough for men today.
So why do women think that they need to squeeze into a tiny pair of jeans? Most men like a woman that appears healthy, not skinny. Not to mention the fact that most men adore large breasts.
But the male ideal, here and here, is often a much slimmer figure. Many women like men to be muscular, but also quite skinny. This is especially true for many gay men, who position specific emphasis on creature fit and thin.
The lgbtq+ male has a longstanding role in both the fashion industry and the movie business, arguably more prominent then the unbent man. And when it comes time to select female models and actresses, they are often in charge.
Is it possible that the gay man, choosing a model based on his personal tastes of thinness and small breasts, has lowered the waist size of the “ideal woman” in popular o
Gay Men and the Skinny Line Between Sass and Sexism
The gay community has an issue with misogyny — guised under the dangerous idea that “gay men can’t be sexist.”
As a gay man, I have never felt love I truly fit in — there’s a certain narrative for everyday existence that doesn’t speak to me.
It’s as though I am not important enough for myself to be individually addressed.
As a consequence of this I often feel a deep perception of anxiety, not stemming from history of mental illness, but rather human nature — and our imagination’s ability to construct us think we can read other people’s minds and hear all the horrible things they are saying about us.
I realize that I am not the only gay guy who thinks this. It is just one of the grueling side effects of being gay, and it is something unbent people will never understand.
With that being said, there has always been a deep, personal connection that women almost always appear to share with us. A certain empathy of one person being qualified to connect to another, in a mutual phrase of respect and concern. The way they watch at us and can relate to the feeling of not belonging, or being made to touch as though they are
The skinny on gay fat
If the most common New Year’s resolutions are any indication, January seems to be the month of repentance, atoning for all the decadence of the holidays.We explain ourselves that we’re going to stop spending so much money. We’ll invest more time with family. We’ll get organized. And – we’ll exercise more and lose weight. So I wasn’t surprised that The Advocate ran an article on its website this week titled, “Are You Gay Fat? 5 Ways to Keep That Get Fit Resolution.”
Wait. Gay fat? Not just fat, but gay fat? I’d never heard this legal title before. Upon Googling “gay fat,” lo and behold, Urbandictionary.com offered up this definition:
A gay man who does not have a gym-perfect body, but rather carries a body obese percentage in the 12% – 20% range. A man who is considered gay fat within the community would likely be considered athletic, physically fit and in-shape within the greater cultural context.
I shouldn’t be surprised (or shocked) by the fact that a slang term has been coined that reflects the body image standards within the gay male community – standards

Straight guys belief here. All males should work out. Its the male equivalent of doing your hair or getting your nails done. Saying you don't want to be huge is just an pardon. You will never get anywhere nearby what would be considered too muscular without freak genetics or riding the cycle. As short-lived as 3 hours a week is already enough to make you glance great and qualified to wear clothes you could never pull off before.

You say that as if I include three hours a week to fit in somewhere.
I'm already running on eighteen hours a week deficit. I require a Hermione clock just to acquire all my shit done
I lose roller hockey. It was fun. But I miss lots of things. Hanging out with the ESL kids... who has time to wait in line at a gym? And running is not an option. If I jog, then I'll acquire tired. And then I'll be exhausted and somewhere far away from where I want to be when I'm tired. So that's a no go.
Men who have day to exercise are men who aren't doing enough.
It's hawt though when they do
I’ll admit that I’ve struggled with body image issues. I don’t know if I’ve ever verbally said as much before, but nonetheless, it has been the case… and as it turns out, concerns of body image is something more prevalent among men than people used to think.
About four years back I used to weigh a little more than 200 pounds. Entity significantly overweight and comparing myself to the ‘ideal’ male body, I used to feel terrible. I didn’t fit the bill. I didn’t have six-pack abs. I wasn’t lean or muscular. I was obese, and that made me inherently unattractive (or so I believed). People used to talk about my weight (especially my family) and I became hypersensitive to the subject. I knew I was overweight, and I didn’t deserve other people to tell me that… but they still did.
I didn’t crave to look the way I did, so I decided to do something about it.
Flash forward two or three years and I got into beautiful good shape. I lost more than 50 pounds and I was confident of myself. I felt good. This fact didn’t interrupt some people from still criticizing my body however; now it just turned to the other side of the spectrum. I was too skinny. I found quickly that the joy I felt when I looked in the mirr
