Growing numbers of men have a poor perception of their own bodies, new research has revealed.
\nLaunched to coincide with International Men\u2019s Day (on Friday 19 November), a study from leisure operator Better has highlighted the growing pressures and insecurities British men feel about their appearance.<\/p>\n

In what is undoubtedly a cause for concern, a third of UK men believe that low body confidence has affected their social life, 30 per cent claim it has troubled their love life \u2013 and 27 per cent say it has impacted their mental health.<\/p>\n

The study's key findings include:<\/p>\n

\tOne-in-four British men don't feel 'body confident'
\n \t43 per cent of men have received, or know someone, who has received online abuse about how their body looks
\n \tOne-in-five men admit to commenting negatively on someone else\u2019s physical appearance - compared to just 8 per cent of women
\n \tOver half (54 per cent) of the Nation\u2019s men have displayed signs of body dysmorphia<\/p>\n
