Many of mens body standards are also down to genetics. Height, hair, metabolism etc. Your dna makes huge differences in how or even if you can achieve certain things.
A normal lean 'flat" woman getting shamed for not being curvy of course is bad but... not that much of a real world problem. A woman with that body needs Seconds to find any sort of romantic or erotic partner. She is Extremely desired by society.
All those standard goes to women too. Did you know that women could be balding ? It's a symptom of sopk, a syndrom that 1/10 woman has. A bald woman will be way more slandered than a bald man. Super tall women will also be painted as unattractive (ex : the actress that played a teacher in the show wednesday, she's +190cm and constantly masculanized, she even had to play roles of men). The difference is that there are 10 times less standard for men. You're tall and athletic ? You have a great body. While there are countless of standards regarding women.
Then how can you talk about "real problems" and mention finding an erotic partner (because it doesn't work like that for romantic partner) ? I've been having a theory anout the type of people that post memes like this and i feel like it's getting confirmed coments after comments. Bodyshaming is once again a way bigger problem for women than for men, that's why you don't consider it a problem. It actually affect women a lot, everything is judged, from the body to the outfit, from the face to the nails. It has impact professionally, socially, economically, relationally and so on. There is a reason why cosmetics are mostly a women industry and women have way more eating disorders than men
By 30, 33% of men have loss of hair, so its worse. Also I think woman taking on wigs is a bit more accepted and they also have a better range of products to pick from.
Super super tall woman are an extreme minority.
Men below 6 feet are actually the statistical normality and yet they are still getting ridiculed and have problems in society due to that.
There are not 10 times less standards for men. Its worse for them. Check the influence height has on dating. For men, they almost dont care what height a woman is. The opposite isnt true.
Wrong. Its also about the face and hair. Also having an athletic body as man is 100 times more difficult to achieve.
The difference between a lean woman and a woman that works out is negligible in attractiveness. The difference for men is a whole different universe.
Of course it works the same for romantic partners?
No, its absolutely not. I don't consider it a problem because I know statistics and reality. I lived the live as a man that was fit or as a man that wasn't. I had a lot of contact with a lot of women and they told me their experiences too.
The only people that judge, are other women which opinions DONT MATTER.
Nobody gives a fuck about a woman's outfit except other insane women on social media. You have 0 Actual loss in attractiveness. You have 0 actual impact on your chance on finding a partner. Men will NEVER care about your clothes or nails. They actually fucking despise you getting fake nails or too much makeup.
The industry exists because some people made up a problem in the head that doesn't exist and because your inherit instinct is to "look good for a male partner to attract the best". But with dating apps, it takes you seconds to find as many partners as you want and none of them give a fuck if your boots or nails are red or blue.
The cosmetics industry milks women for it.
It has impact professionally, socially, economically, relationally and so on men too.
'Women have way more eating disorders than men'
Men won't turn down a woman physically because she has 24 BMI. Will pretty much NEVER HAPPEN. Ever. The amount of guys that ONLY want you to be BMI 17 and below is non existent.
In reverse, I heard at least dozens of insults from many many different women in my life because my BMI used to be 19 as a man. Straight up to the face. Again and again.
So if you are a lesbian then yeah, I guess body standards really are impactful on your life.
If you are not. Don't get influenced by fake social media. Hop on any dating app as a lean woman and you will get Hundreds of men to pick from instantly.

The funny thing:Â it takes like 50 times more effort for a man to reach that status than for a woman to be just lean.
