Body positivity should go both ways, all ways.
FP EDIT: Wow... That's my reaction to all the updoots but more importantly all the comments. I am shocked at the large portion of self hate and slightly annoyed at the mentions of "wrongfully celebrating obesity", this post is NOT why I uploaded this. I don't know about the campaign specifics this pic is from, but I uploaded this image to celebrate men, to show that you are attractive, worthy and you all deserve to feel confident in your skin no matter your size. Is being overweight bad for your health? Yes, probably. Does that make you unattractive or unworthy? NO! There are alot of women (and man/non binary etc) that like your shape, your style, your attitude and smile. That's what it's about. Whether you're short, skinny, tall, fat, chunky, muscly, you're perfectly good the way you are and there are people who find you attractive.
Reading those self hatred comments really got to me. This is not how it is or should be ("because it always has been"), it is a world of your own making. Just because you're a (fat) man doesn't mean you can't be sexy or found appealing. Men can be sexy, men can be hot no matter their size. I and people like me like you, and you can't do a damn thing to make us stop.
Thanks to everyone for voicing their positive feedback. It has been a joy to read. I'll continue my quest on sharing men. The note on more skinny and short men has been taken ;)

Being 50 lbs overweight is not something I would feel positive about, it's not easily noticeable since I'm 6'4", but I hate it nonetheless.
COOLGUY68
As a man, all my fat goes to my belly and my face and no where else. But I stay positive!!!

Yeah, no. I'm not interested in seeing myself represented in magazines or billboards. I have mirrors at home.

So you are kinda chubby and hairy? I like it

It is ok to love yourself and your body and strive to be healthy too. Do both.

I think I really have an issue with this. Pretty sure some unaddressed body dysmorphia explains my lack of romantic history

I suggest a gym elliptical machine or a kickboard if you have a pool. You'll be sore as shit initially it's less pressure on your joints.

I have learned that having fun and being content with yourself results in a lot of advances from other ppl. Especially if you get older.

Physical appearance is mostly irrelavent. You are able to be happy with yourself, then you can be happy with another person. It worked 4me

NatesSauceLab
Meh. I’ve been over weight and I’ve been jacked. I’ll choose jacked every time by a factor of ten.
JohnBluehill
Yeah but it's more about not shaming you when you're not jacked.
NatesSauceLab
In Japanese culture, your bros comment on your weight as a way to show they care for you and want you to up your game. Opposite of shame.
NatesSauceLab
I’m starting to think that my American upbringing is leading to a culture that can’t communicate love over hearing hate. “Bro, I’m just…”

Check out other posts from @op there's a short guy and more.

They might all be short. They don't strike me as being particularly tall, but there's nothing to use for scale.

I only see one type of body here, nobody ever talked about the really skinny men who struggle to gain or keep weight.

It probably won't make a difference, but I think skinny men are hot, I hate that you feel pressure to gain weight
catherinecarnage
Agreed. Don't need to change for others

Lol those get shit on for daring to share their problems. Truth is, most people are fat in the USA and they could demand representation on

Lol no worries. When it's someone else correcting, a feeling of superiority & accomplishment. "Lookie me, I'm better, love me!" It's sad.

Not always, but in this case it is. Also, "physical world"?

As someone who looked like that 15 years and a 150 pounds ago It is possible to change your prospective on that, you look fine.

Maybe. Everyone's different. I've gained 65 lbs from medical issues - from model sample size up to lower end plus size - 1/?

I was once mistaken for a Seventeen cover model. Still hate my reflection. It just looks wrong. Like uncanny valley maybe idk.

I understand. Modern media often plays a big party in this, too. We don't see reality anymore, just filters, airbrushing, photoshop.
