Have you even felt like you wouldn't struggle with your body image as much if men simply weren't in the picture? We've all been there. I'm sure we've all experienced the pressures of wanting to look our best for that guy we have a crush on. Well, science has officially come out with a study to show that you're not alone in feeling this way.
