Popular culture, the media, and Wtern hetero- and homosexual expectatns have normalized the ial male body as one that is lean, mcular, and v-shaped (wh broad shoulrs, a narrow waist, and a flat but well-fed stomach) (Olivardia, Pope, Borowiecki, & Cohane, 2000).

Whereas mastream gay men often do not engage sired or preferred sexual behavrs bee of fears of rejectn or judgment (Kamski, Chapman, Hayn, & Own, 2004), those the more acceptg Bear muny reject the fears due to their beg ultimately “feme” nature (Hennen, 2005).

Fdgs om the studi have substantiated the theory that athetics plays a key role women's judgments of men's physil rearch has been nducted on perceptns of attractivens gay male populatns, but past rearch has nfirmed that physil appearance is an important factor perceived attractivens of other men among gay men (Beren et al., 1996, Hospers and Jansen, 2005, Sergs and Cody, 1985, Siever, 1994, Yelland and Tiggemann, 2003).

Furthermore, some gay men feel substantial prsure to monstrate nventnal norms for masculy and this subset of gay men may be particularly affected by threats to masculy (Hunt, Fasoli, Carnaghi, & Cadu, 2016).
While the media particularly target gay men as a primary dience to sell fashn products (Gill, 2009), another study poted out that gay men were more likely than heterosexual men to feel prsured to look like and achieve the physil body typ displayed the media (Carper, Negy, & Tantleff-Dunn, 2010) all cg articl on SpRemend articl (6)Copyright © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

For several years, studi led by Andrea Camper Ciani at the Universy of Padova Italy and others have found that mothers and maternal nts of gay men tend to have signifintly more offsprg than the maternal relativ of straight men. The rults show strong support for the "balancg selectn hypothis, " which is fast beg the accepted theory of the geic basis of male theory holds that the same geic factors that duce gayns mal also promote fecundy (high reproductive succs) those mal' female maternal relativ.

Through this tra-off, the maternal relativ' "gay man gen, " though they aren't exprsed as such, tend to get passed to future generatns spe of their tenncy to make their male herors no one knows which gen, exactly, the might be, at least one of them appears to be loted on the X chromosome, acrdg to geic molg by Camper Ciani and his lleagu. Mal her only one X chromosome — the one om their mother — and if clus the gene that promot gayns mal and fecundy femal, he is likely to be gay while his mom and her female relativ are likely to have lots of kids. Prevly, the Italian rearchers suggted that the "gay man gene" might simply crease androphilia, or attractn to men, thereby makg the mal who posss the gene homosexual and the femal who posss more promiscuo.

The androphilic pattern that we found is about femal who crease their reproductive value to attract the bt mal, " Camper Ciani told Life's Ltle out, the moms and nts of gay men have an advantage over the moms and nts of straight men for several reasons: They are more fertile, displayg fewer gynelogil disorrs or plitns durg pregnancy; they are more extroverted, as well as funnier, happier and more relaxed; and they have fewer fay problems and social anxieti. Rearchers have found that a disproportnate percentage of men diagnosed wh eatg disorrs intify as gay, and there is extensive evince that gay men have signifintly more body image ncerns than heterosexual men (Bosley, 2011). It was hypothized that gay mal would privately reject the notn that only a momorphic (th and mcular) body type is attractive, yet rrectly assume that their peers are attracted primarily to a momorphic body type.

Whereas most studi on perceptns of feme-prentg gay men have manipulated genr nonnformy via wrten scriptns, rearch suggts that behavural cu such as voice and body-language n migate or exacerbate prejudice toward a stereotyped dividual.
For heterosexual men, the preference for mascule-prentg actors was predicted by greater anti-gay sentiment, whereas ternalised anti-gay prejudice did not predict a preference for mascule-prentatn among gay men. This associatn between masculy and stat endowment has plex implitns for gay men, given the prevailg stereotype that they are more feme pared to heterosexual men (Ke & Dx, 1987; Lippa, 2000; Mchell & Ellis, 2011; Sanchez et al., 2009) Men and the Feme StereotypeSuch a stereotype reflects, to some extent, average differenc genr-typily between gay and heterosexual men.
