I wasn't saying men *aren't* effected. But generally, I don't see or hear men say "Damn, I wish I looked like that!" "Oooo, I wish I had that outfit."
Women are more idolized and have more pressure put upon them I think. Go to the Titty board...I'll wait....
Look at the shows (I think there was a thread about this already). They portray fat men with skinny women. The pressure is not equal. I'd say if there were a poll women would be far more influenced by the looks media portrays than men. Especially younger women since as women age they generally learn to accept themselves. But I'm in no way saying men aren't affected.
On another note there is the gangster mentality that is portrayed by the media. I'm not sure if it spawned from society or from the media, but it is definitely in the media now and acting as role models for inner city kids at least. It promotes the use of weapons, drugs, and a lack of education. The women are to find baby daddies. It's tough to explain that is not a positive way to live because they are not only seeing it, but living it.
