...NOT conform to the "Beauty Myth" -- fit, attractive, social? This is mere curiosity -- it seems as though *** men who have "average" bodies, or who are carrying extra weight are singled out and maligned because they're somehow "less" valid than those *** men blessed with good genetics (in looks, body type, etc.). Why can't the Beauty Myth be shattered?

I am *** and I am chubby bear. And I love other cubs and chubbies too. Attractiveness is a personal taste and choice of an individual eye. As they say, it is in the eye of the beholder. So being *** doesnt mean I have to be the Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt body. And everyone has good genectics and everyone is beautiful. But the media may be one of the reasons of these myths.
