Most people labeled BDD actually do have flaws in their appearance, and for men who have trouble finding dates, these flaws, which might have been minor in the pre-internet era, can be a deal-breaker for pretty much all [[femoid]]s in online dating apps, where all dating is moving to. Therefore, BDD is most often not BDD, but a rational evaluation of how their appearance causes women to reject them on online dating (and sometimes in real life too). | |||
In other words, because men are not very stingy in what they are attracted to, women evaluating one of their minor physical flaws as unattractive is usually irrational. On the other hand, because women are much stingier than men (for the same group of men), men evaluating a minor physical flaw in themselves as unattractive is usually [[rationality|rational]]. | In other words, because men are not very stingy in what they are attracted to, women evaluating one of their minor physical flaws as unattractive is usually irrational.

When Psychiatrists diagnose BDD on men who worry about their phyisical flaw after being rejected mutiple times, the psychiatrist are likely to prescribe dangerous psychiatric drugs that have never been tested to cure BDD, like anti-depressant and anti-psychotics. Theese drugs are likely to make the patient's condition even worse because they have frequent side effects like [[gyno]], [[weight increase]], [[anorgasmia]], [[diabetes]], [[sleepiness]] etc. | When Psychiatrists diagnose BDD on men who worry about their phyisical flaw after being rejected mutiple times, the psychiatrist are likely to prescribe dangerous psychiatric drugs that have never been tested to cure BDD, like anti-depressant and anti-psychotics.
