It turns out that men are more sensitive than some thought.
After discussing women's body image issues with three male Michigan State University students, they said the media and women are the source of the problem.
According to sophomore Ryan Fetters, women "over think" body image.
"I feel like even if somebody is extremely thin, they always feel that thinner can always be achieved," Fetters said.
Fetters said that the media makes women believe thinner is better by showing models and actresses on television and magazines who are smaller than the average American women.
Sophomore Nnaemeka Unaegbu thought it was a "big step" that designer Ralph Lauren hired a plus sized model for their ad campaign.
He said the campaign is more "realistic" and Lauren is "tending to the needs of the average day women."
Sophomore Anthony Johnson believes a solution to the issue of women's body image would be for women to stop comparing themselves to the women they see on t.v..
"I believe a good looking women as someone who is comfortable with themselves and someone who presents themselves in a nice way," Johnson said.
