Men on Body Image (Preview)

Are they all dogs, or do they understand our pain?

Male students at Michigan State University weigh in on the heavy topic of the body image issues women face. All while trying to break the stereotype that they are the source of the problem.

In a society where it is okay for overweight and unattractive men to be with beautiful and fit women sets a double standard that comedian Ellen DeGeneres doesn't agree with.

DeGeneres said that women feel the need to keep up their appearance for men, but that expectation is "not fair" because, in her opinion, men don't have to keep up their's for women.

"It's a double standard because, you know, there are men with really beautiful women that don't have great bodies and yet nobody is saying anything about that," DeGeneres said in an interview with Katie Couric.

But the real question is, are men expecting that same standards women set for themselves?
