Can we talk about how it seems every topless man in most media has a rocking body and just how messed up it is?

I think the expectation on men is almost more ridiculous. It's very very very hard to get the kind of insanely ripped body they show for men. You have to dehydrate yourself, have the right genetics to even gain that kind of muscle, eat exactly right, take steroids and live in the gym. Forearms, legs, are really hard to even build up. So then if you have thin arms or something, you feel like are you even a man? What if you're under 6'? You can't even do anything about that but if you're short you're undesirable and weak. Girls get bullied for having small boobs or being too fat etc but no one talks about the effect bullying has on boys and men. If you're too small, too weak, too quiet, school can be hell and even life after because of what you've gone through.
