19 Men Go Shirtless And Share Their Body Image Struggles
The fruitless quest for a “perfect” body isn’t unique to women, though based on the body image conversations we tend to hear, it’s easy to think so.
Spoiler alert: Men have body insecurities, too, and that’s nothing to be ashamed of.

No shade. This is important. Boys need and deserve their own emotional understanding, but as usual not a single one of them was largely fat. I recognize a lot of people identify with the struggles of fat folx but to clearly have like no representation above maybe, what 250lbs? (And that’s generous) is just another sigh and slight for me @ 300+ lbs trying to navigate being amab in a fat phobic queer world where if you’re unfuckable or not famous, no amount of (admittedly amazing) lizzo self love is going to save you from society’s expectation of a sexually available, and in turn loveable, person. I really hope people reblog this part.
Body positivity must start to include all bodies and genders. The positivity in the original post is a step in the right direction, words that absolutely need to be said, but the entire conversation needs to be broadened to fit us all.
I’m 5’6 and 150 lbs and i still hate being shirtless
