Bad Effects on Magazines(Images in Magazines)

 

 

Magazine Images nowadays do not make women feel like their body matters. Magazines portray the perfect body as being skinny, big boobs, and a big butt. I don't think that the magazines know this, but there is no perfect body type because all bodies are amazing and perfect. Not just females feel like this because guys feel like they need to be a certain body type, too. Some guys think that they are too short because girls like tall guys, they feel like they need to be more muscular because girls like muscular guys. All bodies, not subjected to any gender, is perfect. 

The "idealized" body type has changed drastically throughout the years that magazines have been around. The bar may have been set too high this time by media adverts, social outlets, and printed press that the average person cannot meet these expectations. 

The Different Body Types Throughout History
