Are Men More Vain Than Women
I think that men are more vain, even though society wants us to beleive that women are more vain .

Men love being in the centre of attention and want women to be attracted to them.
They tend to use more and more beauty products like for example a facial scrub ,moisturizing cream or a lip balm, . They make sure that they have a good looking outfit and their hair should be tame all the time.
With the rise of the metrosexual man, we're seeing more men getting facials, manicure pedicure, depilation and even having cosmetic surgery. They often go to a beauty salon or solarium.
Some of them are even just in love with themselves, many brag about the amount of women that they have picked up because of their good looks.
Lots of men think that women are very vain, but looking at it from my point of view, the women have to look beautiful because guys are very visual and want to have a girlfriend who is attractive, sensual and tempting. While women are more sensible and concentrate mostly on men’s personality and intelligence rather than looks.
Men love showing off , buying flashy cars, expensive perfumes, brand-name clothing. They spend hours at gym and dream about having a perfect body. They often have fragile egos and distorted views of their appearance.
Men brag more than women, about how they look and how they're confident. They adore compliments and flattery. But in my opinion it shows that they are weak and need to be appreciated in order to feel good. Most of women can openly say how much they don't like themselves while men don't do the same even if they are not happy in their own skin.
We are living in the world that requires you to be more presentable. The more presentable you are, the more respect people would give you.
We are now living in a material world, agree or not that's true. Isn't it when we are walking on streets, we sometimes don't admit this but when we saw people who are not that presentable as us, we tend to think different things

    Very often we see women depicted in advertisements wearing very little and trying to seduce the men even though their target market is women. What is the purpose of targeting men with beautiful women, when you are not trying to sell them anything? Simple, it creates an image of what you are supposed to look like to be attractive to a man. Victoria Secret’s commercials constantly do this with women who come out strutting down the runway with one of those looks that says you “Feast on me, I’m here to be looked at, my body is for your eyes.” (Bordo 191) Bordo uses this quote as she describes the young man in the Calvin Klein ad who without being forward about it portrays an image of sexuality. This is contrary to most of the images we usually see and Bordo describes this in an interesting way as she says “His body isn’t a stand-in phallus; rather he has a penis.”…

    Those who are truly confident and who have healthy self-esteems don't have to walk around bragging about how pretty or how good-looking they are. Pride and arrogance just doesn't mean that one brags about how beautiful or good-looking they are, they also tend to brag and boast about other things. Like how much money they have, the clothes they have, the type of car they drive, etc etc. Quite frankly one's confidence shouldn't be based off how good they look, a person's confidence should come from their Character and personality. It should come from their morals and values.…

    Beauty is a misconception. America's standards of beauty are based on physical appearance (hair, shape, complexion, height, and etc). Standards of beauty promoted in the media are deceiving because in magazines, photos are edited to change the physical body structure, complexions, and facial features of models and celebrities. Editors say that photos are edited to inspire people to stay fit, to draw attention to the magazine, and to make the people more appealing to the human eye.…

    I do believe there is a strong feeling of competing between most men, ranging from playing the best sports, having the most muscles, better jobs, nicer cars, etc. You would think it would be most likely to impress the ladies but I’m afraid it is more of trying to impress other males. Proving ones masculinity is rather quite interesting, being a woman I always saw these things happening I just never really looked into it till now.…

    Men spend billions of dollars to keep their body image in check. The over use of objectification in today's society is absurd . As said in English, “a male is using his body to be a backdrop for a ladies beautiful dress in prom pictures” (Ms. Jenkinson). The male is just an object standing there and smiling behind a girl who has a beautiful dress on.…

    After reading through the article “My New Nose” (181-186)it really showed to me and explained to me how big the pressure is on men. After hearing Barden’s story, on how he had the plastic surgery made me realize the pressure that is really put on men. That was a real shocker to me because before I had never heard a common male getting cosmetics plastic surgery before. I have only heard of movie stars and just celebrities getting cosmetic surgery before. “I noticed something: I stopped looking at the nose, almost as soon as it arrived. It immediately stopped being the focused of my face.”…

    It has been documented for decades that issues with body image was generally identified with women. But, men are dealing with body image issues just like women are about their weight, appearance, or body figure, which lead them to develop physical and psychological problems. In the article “Men and Body Image: Current Issues and Counseling Implications” by Larry D. Burlew and Matthew W. Shurts estimate how many men deal with body image dissatisfaction (BID) they state that, “Gdeve, Truba, and Bowersox (2009) estimated that there are millions of men who experience some level of body dissatisfaction. Approximately 10%-15% of eating disorder diagnoses are assigned to men (Carlat, Camargo, & Herzog, 1997), and 2.2% of males meet the criteria for body dysmorphic disorder (Koran, Abujaoude, Large, & Serpe, 2008).” Men feel pressured now, more than ever, to adapt to a particular body figure due to the stress that social media puts on people. Men that have body image issues do go through some of the disorders like anorexia, bulimia, extreme exercising, etc., but they also deal with other disorders as well. For example, some men are diagnosed with muscle dysmorphia, and problematic symptoms. Muscle dysmorphia disorder is, another dysmorphic disorder, which in itself is an alternative form of obsessive-compulsive disorder. It is also called bigorexia, muscle dysmorphia is the…

    Beauty Myth

    • 688 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Amani Mosa April. 26, 2013 English 120 -­ 013 Beauty Myth by Naomi Wolf Page 3. “This embodiment is an imperative for women and not for men, which situation is necessary and natural because it is biological, sexual, and evolutionary: Strong men battle for beautiful women, and beautiful women are more reproductively successful.” I found this quote interesting, but I didn’t understand exactly what Wolf meant by this. Page 4. “The beauty myth is not about women at all. It is about men’s institutions and institutional power.” I’m not too sure what Wolf means by this quote, but I do believe men have a huge impact on how we, women, see ourselves. Men seem to have an influence on women and how we tend to see ourselves, if a guy tells us we are “ugly” we would quickly believe him even if it’s taken as a joke. Not all men tend to be positive, instead they can verbally abuse a woman and make her feel inferior. This lowers her self-­esteem and makes her not like herself. Having such a negative influence on a women can make her not feel beautiful, even if she is. In an episode I watched on Nip and Tuck, one of the surgeons didn’t want to have sexual relations with his wife because he no longer found her beautiful, she then asked him to fix her body in order for him to like her again. Page 5. “Since the Industrial Revolution, middle-­class Western women have been controlled by ideals and stereotypes as much as by material constraints.” We are given the idea that a perfect women actually exist;; she’s tall, beautiful, slim, and without any flaws. We don’t realize that she doesn’t exist. Many women are not content with how they look because they don’t see their body types advertised and the media is…
