maryrachelle: Of course we are all responsible for our own actions,but when surrounded by large firm perky breast and slim bodies everywhere you go and everywhere you look,the inevitable feeling of inadequacies will pop up in most women from time to time.Their are far more women who suffer from anorexia and bulimia then men in our world.What we see on a daily basis affects us more then most are willing to admit.You literally can't look anywhere in movies,television,magazines and media in general without seeing the super slimmed,young and perky breasted woman.You can't even look in a plus sized fashion show or advertisement without seeing women who are no more then a size ten.I'm just saying when faced with that constant onslaught it's difficult to always feel like you are fine with how you look.Blessed are the lucky few who can.
yes. and thankfully all the movie stars that women lust after are short, fat, homely bald men with small appendages.
the difference you are seeing here is how it affects you.

The difference is even ugly,fat short men can end up with the hottie.Look at Hugh Hefner,Donald trump,Kelsie Grammar,Clint Eastwood,Michael Douglas etc...are all married, to young and beautiful women.The same thing is not even possible for women.Betty white under no circumstances will ever end up with Brad Pitt,Taylor lautner or Leonardo decaprio.
Old ugly and fat men have ways of leveling the playing field.The same can't be said of the reverse.

i could debate that, but we'd be here all day.
so,ok. fine, fine. you belong to the gender that has it worse, here's your trophy for having it worse.
yes, mens insecurities are their own fault, and yes, womens insecurities are mens fault too.

maryrachelle: Yes I got your joke.It's just an interesting topic worthy of discussion. No I don't blame men for this.Men are just as much of a victim of all this media hype as women are.

Although i can completely relate to this, and understand where you are coming from you would be shocked to learn that many men suffer from the same things. Its swept under the carpet more due to this "being a man" scenario that they have to carry around.

Alot of the men that you named are dirty rich and so are some of the women too.
If we as women didn't pay so much attention to all those stupid commericals we would have no reason to feel insecure about ourselves.
Thats a very provocative poll and very unfair to women. While its true that they do all those things they excel at lots of other activities as well like backbiting, gossiping, envying, spending, complaining and crying. Fair is fair give them their due.
maryrachelle: Why are you getting so defensive and angry?I never said womens insecurities are mens fault.I blamed current culture and media influences.Jeebus you can't even have a discussion without someone getting angry and putting words in your mouth in here.
Maybe it has to do with how some things are posted on here.
I guess some men on here are becoming alittle burnt out from being where all the dirt gets dumped.Can't say that I blame them.
I am going to apologise to whomever I upset tonight... I will say that perhaps tonight I should not have been on the threads.. I will only say that I have had a bad day... and as Ralph pointed out... I need to go to bed and sleep it off.
So sorry if I have upset any of you... but you know.. after being here a long time and generally not upsetting the apple-cart... for those of you who know me quite well... I thought you may have picked up on me being well outta sorts..
so good night... and again.. my apologies if I have offended.

Yes some men do suffer from this as well,but the rate of men who suffer with bulimia and anorexia is like comparing watermelons to mustard seeds.
Both men and women face challenges it's just that mens lay in different areas.For example men are at a far greater disadvantage then women in divorce and child custody.To this day when a child is born in a marriage and the child does not happen to belong to the husband the man is still held responsible financially for the child.
Life is cruel and unfair to both genders,they just are not in the same ways.
