Several months ago I was reading the paper with my husband. Two high school senior athletes were being profiled. The male athlete looked like he could pose on Men's health. The female athlete looked like a female athlete. My husband pointed to the pictures and commented about how fit he looked while she did not. I was shocked. Somewhere along the way he started believing a fit woman looks like a super model.
Women are no different. I am constantly asked to get my husband's opinion on training although I could probably help them more. We recently had an open house and people asked my about my "pro" athlete husband. Another neighbor asked me to ask my husband where she should buy running shoes. I had just completed a marathon. This happens constantly and I really believe it's because he looks like the ideal fit man and I look like a female athlete. They think I should look like a model.
Stop watching this garbage. It has to get in your head when you are constantly subjecting yourself to it.
