Where are all the plus-size male models? there were at least seven agencies in the UK with plus-size women on their books.

I do modeling sometimes. If you had the slightest amount of stomach fat they'd laugh and send you on your way.

Models aren't supposed to be attractive, they're supposed to be "the best" of their gender. For women, that meant godlike standards of aesthetics, until the fat acceptance movement started redefining "the best" as fat.

For men, "the best" still consists of godlike aesthetics. No fat acceptance for men.

I've often wondered that, myself.

Don't want to see Men following in the footsteps of FA and HAES type movements. Nothing wrong with beauty standards or marketing using those standards to sell products.

Let the women have it. Let it fail. And let society move past it.

Hyper-masculine He-Man action figures didn't give me body dysmorphia.
