Men want to be loved for their personalities, as well. We don t want to be objectified as mere sex objects. Okay, maybe we do. But the point is that our obsession with physical appearance is causing us all unnecessary stress, insecurity and death. Men abuse themselves in the gym to get bigger.
Women starve themselves to get thinner.
I long for the day when medium-sized people can join hands with the incredibly obese and the horribly emaciated to sing Kumbayah. In my dreams, that day is not too far in the future. That is, if we can somehow get rid of those low-fat tofu burgers and dumbbells. Chris Choi is a contributor to the Washington Square News.
