You know, I kind of feel bad for young ladies these days. Boys are wimps for the most part... socially stunted from a short but full life of video games and role models who are simpering whiners. But it looks like this phenomena has finally reached the point of physicality. What a crazy world this is when sickly becomes a fashion statement. Oh well, I guess it is a sign of the times.
The Vanishing Point - New York Times: "Then a funny thing happened. The models were also downsized. Where the masculine ideal of as recently as 2000 was a buff 6-footer with six-pack abs, the man of the moment is an urchin, a wraith or an underfed runt."

Well, now it's up to the Dads of the world to firmly plant an "ideal" in their daughter's heads.
If I saw something like this walk in my front door behind my daughter, I'd squeeze his hand and make him flinch.
Then do some hearty back-slapping.
Then challenge him to Indian leg wrestling.
I don't think he'd be back.
Of course, if a buff six-footer came in the front door, I'd pull out Trivial Pursuit instead.
