Men Easier To Please With Regard To Body Image Than Women
Men are just lucky if they get stronger in the gym and feel their pants are fitting better. But how about the women?
Well they want the proof. You gotta prove them that they lost body fat to make them happy. For women it is not enough just to see that they can lift heavier weight. They want the real proof. So if you are a personal trainer, better meassure the body fat percentage if you want your women clients happy. They like to see the proof (truth).
Kathleen Martin Ginis, associate professor of kinesiology:
"We thought - obviously incorrectly - that women's body image would improve more than men's as they progressed through the strength training study," Martin Ginis said. "We were surprised by the responsiveness of men's body image to strength training. Men's body image improved as much as women's. Yet interestingly, men didn't care about numbers--how much weight they actually lost or how much muscle they actually gained had no bearing on their body image; if they simply felt more muscular and stronger, or if their pants were looser, that was good enough to improve their body image. But when it came to the women, feeling thinner and stronger was only part of the story. The women who had the greatest improvements in body image were those who saw actual increases in the amount of weight they could lift at the gym."
Women believe only that they are beautiful, if one says clearly to them and prove them with numbers.
