This pressure for men to look one way to appease the population and keep to the norm has led to the increase of men with mental illnesses.For example in 2013 78% of the suicide were men in the UK.I bet you wasn't aware of that due to the tough image that is always displayed on Tv and films.However media will never show the sensitive side of men. More men are now having cosmetic surgery This is due to never seeing a realistic image on media.
