Whenever death may surprise us,
let it be welcome
if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear
and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.
Nobody's gonna miss me, no tears will fall, no ones gonna weap, when i hit that road.
my boots are broken my brain is sore, fer keepin' up with thier little world, i got a heavy load.
gonna leave 'em all just like before, i'm big city bound, your always 17 in your hometown

Actually men's personal body image has been declining almost as fast as women's of late. Men are just by nature to macho to admit it, and have huge campaigns and rally's to boost our moral. We just stay quiet about it.
Of course this isn't a problem for me, I'm a huge man whore.

Self-confidence and body image is an issue that everyone has to deal with, both female and male. It's not easy when you don't fit the consensus of what the ideal person should look like, or feel uncomfortable in your own skin.
Self-image is one of those tricky things that everyone's got to find their own comfort zone in. It comes to some people more easily than others, but in my experience it's rare to find someone who doesn't have doubts about the way they look at least once in a while. Everyone's under a lot of pressure to look and be a certain way - and to find the internal confidence to say "this is the way I look, and I'm comfortable with it - to heck with everyone else" can be difficult, and sometimes seem overwhelming.
While often addressed soley as a woman's issue, the realization that it's a societal, rather than a gender problem, is slowly developing. Body image is a fickle thing, and no one deserves to feel that their body is inadequate or something to be ashamed of.
