This could be dangerous for the young girl because the diet may not be safe and the girl could already be too thin. If she tries to lose more weight, she could develop an eating disorder. The standards of beauty among men have also changed in recent years. This new body image has led to some concerns on how men are treating their bodies. Steroid use has increased drastically in recent years, as has the number of men seeking plastic surgery and the use of performance enhancing supplements.
Many advertisers use buff men to try to sell their products.
All of the exposure that buff men get causes many men to think that they need to look that way too. They work out as much as possible, which can be a danger within itself. One result of working out seriously can be that, no matter how big their muscles get, men start thinking they are still not big enough. This is just one of the ways that magazines are having a negative effect on young girls. You seldom see an overweight girl on the cover of a glamour magazine.
