I was playing resident evil 6 and I couldn't help but think 'maybe I should start working out'. I felt skinny and effeminate compared to all the manly men I was playing as. it doesn't help that capcom gave them all huge bulges in their pants too :evil:

 

these games with their idealized men are damaging to the psyche of young boys because they set impossible standards to live up to

I think lemmings get turned on by playing as muscle men. Why do you think Gears was so popular?

This is why I play JRPGs, so that instead of feeling pathetic in comparison to all the muscly men, I can scoff at the wimpy, whiny JRPG protagonists and reassure myself that atleast i'm not THAT much of a pusscake.

Only times I've felt insecure due to games have been visual novels and nothing to do with muscle mass which I care absolutely nothing about. So no.

I'm pretty muscular as it is so, No. But, at the same time, I'm not on Steroids. Some of these games just make me say "Yea, avoiding muscular enhancements was a good idea...".

Not really. Not because I'm insecure of myself (or because I never actually think of anything while playing a well built character), but I do go to the gym quite often and I guess some would consider me somewhat built. Either way, no.

No, but I find it hard to play as them when they're very attractive.

 

Too busy with those thoughts.

Even if you weren't big, theres still no reason to be insecure over videogame characters. If you are then you may have some serious mental issues.

There's a big difference between a weight lifter and bodybuilder. What do you think just because stereotypical gamers are either skinny or fat nerds, all of us are like that? It's 2013 dude. :lol:

True but a good portion society as a whole these days is fixated on such things for men. Video games are just one outlet where it is focused. It's easy to see how someone could feel insecure about it. They might need to boost up their self esteem but not everyone is brought up to be proud and happy they way they are.

QFT. I'm not a "bodybuilder" and neither are most people on Bodybuilding.com, but I've spent a lot of time on those forums and you'd be surprised how many WoW and other video game addicts there are on that site. And for what it's worth I've almost always been a skinny nerd. It's only in the last 2 years or so that I've gained 40 lbs. Lifting is rather cathartic.

Videogames are cool because you get to pretend to be someone or something you're not. I love playing Gears and pretending I'm super macho and have huge muscles. I also like playing Tomb Raider 1 and pretending I have massive triangle shaped teets.
