You always hear about how looking at photos of gorgeous models is harmful to average-looking women. Some people say it's bad for women's body image and can lead to eating disorders and emotional issues.

Now, some researchers are saying don't forget about men. When normal-looking guys see photos of male models with chiseled muscles and washboard abs, it hurts their self-esteem too. And those negative feelings can hurt a man's sexual well-being.

But researchers say there is a bright side. If average men look at all those lean, muscular guys maybe it will inspire them to get in shape. Unlike female actresses and models, most of the men who are on the covers of magazines have healthy and realistic bodies. Look at George Clooney, Tom Cruise and Matt Damon, they point out.

Personally, I think this is a bunch of garbage. Men don't care about that kind of stuff. Besides, they're not looking at the male models. They're looking at the women.

And I've never had the biggest muscles but I've always had the best-looking women. I guess there's only one muscle that really counts . . . your brain.
