These were some of the most interesting reads in the book in my opinion. Reading about body image, especially in teens, is even more so interesting because I can relate. I'm not the most muscular fellow in town or the tallest. But I'm perfectly fine with my body. I mean sure from time to time I'd like to be taller, but overall I'm happy with my body. I think going through the pain Jim Conran went through to be 3 inches taller is absolutely ridiculous. Being a short guy, I would never think of doing such a thing.
Also, being surrounded in a bunch of teen girls and all my ex's, I can agree from exprience that most girls have a problem with their body and have something to complain about. And the funny thing is, is that most of these girls have nothing to complain about and are for the most part, pretty good looking. It gets annoying really fast when a really good looking girl has no confidence and complains about something about her body.

Well brandon I am going to have to agree with you here.Being born a scrawny tall guy has always hurt my self confidence levels and influenced me to spend money on both suppliments and the gym to make me feel better about myself. And as far as women are concerned, there is always something wrong.whether it is what they currently look like or the differences between the media's view on what women should look like an dwhat they look like, it seems as though they are never satisfied with who they are.My opinion is men who feel self conscious about their bodies should hit the gym, and women depending on what they are self conscious about, should either exercise if they feel fat, and if they feel inadequate, augment themselves through any method they choose.
