I agree with most of your posts comments. However, I have to call out this assertion because it's one of my biggest concerns.

Men may not feel pressure to be thin but the male physique is very much asserted to men. The strong, muscular, "sex appeal" type. There is still pressure to live up to a physical standard and it's very tough because men aren't supposed to care about beauty. That is slowly changing. However, the pressure is still there that "I am not good enough" and to assert more sex appeal in the form of physique. On a side note, the task of achieving a muscular built physique is much more difficult, time consuming, and draining than it is to achieve a thin body type - so the work a man has to put in to fit that image is much more than women who merely want to be thin.
