I think that when people see the extreme, they don't agree with it, but if they see something a little bit more mild, their ok. Like the pics that kitsune showed, most people would agree that those models are too skinny and that's unattractive. But when they see pics of an actress or model who is still very very thin but isn't bone poppin' skinny, she's fine. The same applies to men. If they've got too many muscles, that's gross, but if they look like calvien klien models (which most men dont) that's the ideal, even if it's unattainable. My BF faced the issue of "bulking" up to look more masculer. Everyone he worked with and even his mom, wanted him to gain more weight (which is hard for him, b/c he has a super fast metabolism plus he's 5'3 so bulking up wouldn't be right). Everyone told him to work out a whole bunch and take weight gainer but my thoughts are if he just is that way, let him be. He's perfect the way he is. For some stupid reason, everyone feels that we have to fit into this cookie cutter image.
