Women who are thick would perceive this as they aren't supposed to have a stomach because this thick model doesn't and her body looks "great".

Women would perceive this as her having a very nice body with curves and cleavage and compare themselves to her..

Women would perceive this as they need cleavage and it has to be a lot and that they need to have an hourglass body and not have a stomach to wear a nice dress.

Women in general would see this as the "perfect" body. This is how they want their body to look like, with curves.

This is what "real" women's bodies look like. They have a stomach and fat, they are skinny.

Women are skinny in general and it's okay that they have a little stomach and not a lot of cleavage because it's a "real" womens body.

You see this woman looks like she has a really nice body and no imperfections. Until she turns to the side and she has a stomach. Which is normal in women to have but this shows how pictures can be false.

Some women are naturally skinny and they always compare saying how they want to gain more weight or such but their body is normal.

Men are expected to be fit and go to the gym. Men look at this as they NEED to look like this to be validated.

Men are all expected to work out and be very buff. Men look at this and think they need to go to the gym be this is the "ideal" body.

Just the highlight being "Fit at Any Age" will affect men. They will think they need to be fit all their life.

I actually know quite a few people who specifically compare themselves to Micheal B Jordan; they think they need to look like him. They think that he is who they should want to look like.

This is a "real" mens body , as you see he isn't buff he's a bit thick. Not all men are really buff as the media likes to show them as.

salma1695566_ — 2023-11-10 06:04:19 UTC

Some men are also skinny and it's perfectly fine.

salma1695566_ — 2023-11-10 06:05:17 UTC

This man has a hairy chest and in reality men do grow chest hair or just a lot of hair in general. The media never posts men with chest hair.

This man is also skinny. He isn't buff he isn't anything like the media perceives men to be and that's perfectly normal.
