Dont answer that question, was just the title of the report im posting.. LOL

Men just as worried about looks as women

Men are as likely as women to say "does my bum look big in this".

A new survey claims men worry about their bodies just as much as women and are wracked with "body insecurity."

David Beckham is the celebrity most men would wish to look like, according to the poll of 300 men by the makers of weight-loss drink Slim Fast.

More men said they worry about growing a beer belly than they did losing their job.

And 75% of men feared the thought of stripping off at the beach.

Becks scooped 43% of the votes for most favoured celebrity, followed by Brad Pitt, who scored 27%, followed by Justin Timberlake, Vin Diesel and Arsenal star Freddie Ljungberg.

The survey also revealed 43% of men admitted they are currently trying to lose weight; 83% of the men said they worried most about their beer belly and 73% of men join gyms to lose weight but 41% of these never use their membership.

Acting Men's Health Editor, Steve King said: "Women have a great deal to blame for men's insecurities. They want us to be 'Mr Sensitive' then move the goalposts and also want us to have a cracking body as well.

"Guys face pressures just like women and are trying various methods to drop a few pounds."

I think having a kidney stone is the equivalent of a labor pain. Not fun.

%!@$$! "submit" button. Marshall you should change it to make a window pop up saying "are you sure that you want to submit?" Then another window saying "Are you really, really sure?"
