Do you think that women are the only ones asking the question, “Do these pants make me look fat?” I did and apparently I was only part right. While reading an opinion piece, by Mike Zimmerman, on Male Body Image in Women’s Health Magazine, I learned that men do worry about body image, but men according to Zimmerman, “…will, however, check the mirror and wonder, “Do these pants hide my gut enough to get me laid?” It’s the same thing fundamentally, and it defines that irresistible logic gap we all try to leap: If the body looks like crap, recalibrate the …read more
