Why does the phrase “unrealistic body standards” get thrown around mainly in relation to men’s views of women? It also arguably applies to women’s views of men

Because modern society protects fat women from being shamed. It damn near borders anything involving equal opportunity discrimination.

Then we have to play the "double standard" game, where its okay to shame men where its offensive if done to women. Thats how modern society works now.

Don't forget a lot of women expect a flat stomach for men under their shirts.

No one's stopping men from making a body positivity movement by and for men, the way the original body positivity movement was by and for women.

But it won't change anything for men. Just like body positivity hasn't magically made men attracted to 400 pound, 80 year old women.

Looks just aren't as important for us guys. Don't get me wrong being attractive helps anyone regardless of sex or gender but it's not the end all be all.

I think the whole body positivity movement went way too far left. It was supposed to be about people not feeling ashamed of their average non supermodel bodies. Not celebrating being fat.

It's like if a dude with a micro penis said "it's not the size of the boat, it's the motion of the ocean".

Yeah bro technically you're right, but you have a medical condition.

Many women isn’t most women, I’ve never known a woman to have a dick size requirement. Men talk a lot of shit about womens vaginas but ultimately they are all pretty decent and the same is true in reverse it’s all about who it’s attracted to.

The height this I must admit I don’t get, 5 foot 8 is average make height here so well under the mythical 6 foot And it’s just never been something I’ve thought about in terms of liking a guy or not, I think this is more of a factor in online dating where in the absence of meeting someone irl and experiencing real chemistry more weight is placed in somewhat arbitrary specifications which probably don’t really matter that much.

Height requirement is a meme. Women don’t know what 6’ even is cause everyone be lying.

Dick size is cultural. To put it simply mainstream culture is derived from a lot of minority cultures that have bigger dicks. If you go to DR and think you something with a 7 inches you gon be in for a long trip.

Though fairly, dick size doesn’t really matter. I’ve never heard a woman complain about a partners sized if he made her cum multiple times. If you dick tiny give them something else to talk about.

Also men have been talking about this for a while. Just the spectrum seems to be smaller for us. Full head of hair, tall, connecting beard, Abs, smell nice, big dick. Women have billion dollar industries fixated on being perfect.
