Channel 4. Ten pm. The tyranny of beauty. According to the programme many women judge a man by his face. Good news for Jude Law, Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt and George Clooney, not so good for the rest of us. One can also assess on muscular beauty, Nubret, Pudzianowski, Schwarzenegger and Van Damme. Jennifer once told me that Arnie looked like "a condom filled with walnuts". The programme looked at steroid abuse (jabbing, on the gear, lifting dirty) a tell-tale sign not mentioned was men in their 30s with acne across the shoulders and back. Figures were mentioned, 40% of men have gynaecomastia (moobs or bitch tits). 43% would have surgery to rectify this. The journalist involved had the fake premise of changing his physique in eight weeks. You won't make much of a difference in so short a time.
He used a variety of gadgets to enhance his chest. There is nothing magical on the market, if there were its inventor would be rich indeed. Finally we looked at Mens Health models. There is a prejudice in favour of the beautiful. How many male models can one name? But a fraction of the female ones. "Inner beauty" is a cop-out coined by females. Chacun a son gout. Therefore I leave you with Daniel Day Lewis. Alice always liked him, and Helen said he was her "favourite bit of rough". Enjoy.
