It looks like many men are turning into big girls when it comes to looking good and criticising their own bodies.

New research from Norwich Union Healthcare has found that a quarter of all men have "issues" with their entire body, with a third hating their stomachs and a fifth their legs.

While girls want the body of Kate Moss, it looks like men look more to sports stars such as David Beckham and Gavin Henson for the perfect physique.

Dean Hodgkin, health and fitness expert, said: "Men need to understand that it's all about being in tune with your own body, not comparing yourself with others or trying to look like somebody else."

And it seems to be the fault of critical girlfriends in many cases, with 26 per cent of men saying their partner puts pressure on them to stay in shape and look good.

Perhaps men will now be kinder when a girl next asks "Does my bum look big in this?"
