RE: Do More Realistic Images of Fashion Models Boost a Woman's Self-Image?
Maybe the female gender is more open about how they are being influenced and affected compared to males. Women are generally more emotional so it makes sense they are more affected, and more open to talk about how it affects them.
I think men are generally taught to shrug of such things, while women are taught to obsess over them. But is it nature or nurture at work?
Both. Bio-natural tendencies from different neurochemical processing such as emotional salience and the strength of such responses to incline them to be more affected. And also the social norms developed around those initial behaviors that get amplified to make it a subconscious or conscious focus to obsess over as you say.
