The portrayal of males

So far i think we all generally have to same idea of how men portrayed. When we were all little boys and girls would want to play house together, however it wasn't right for the male to want to. Parents would pull their sons away and tell them to go play with their G.I. Joe's and leave the girls to play with their dolls. When two boys play a game together they are demonstrating a homosocial bond that no one seems to really care about until it's a game where a girl is involved and is a little more on the feminin side. That there automatically shows the men what the social norm is and what isn't. Even the way males talk can be considered a normal or unnormal. If the male speaks almost like a girl they are considered different or out of the social norm.
Visually, there are pictures everywhere, magazines, t.v., stores where clothing is sold, and the internet. All of which show males how they are "supposed" to look and what they need to look like to be able to impress woman. I feel as though some men are as self-conscience of their looks as most women are. If they dont look like the posters and billboards they can go to the extremes that most women stoop to. Plastic surgery, tummy tucks, bulimia, or even anorexia. The whole goal is to be the muscular, blond hair, blue eyed beach babe, and that that is the only way to impress anybody or to get a girlfriend. The way everyone perceives is problematice in its self. All it ever does is make males and females feel horrible about them selves.
