A lot of body-image issues are related to/centered around femininity. Thus, we have tropes such as Big Breasts, Big Deal, A-Cup Angst, Hollywood Homely/Pudgy/Thin, Fat Girl, and so on. But the same way that thinness and breasts are associated with femininity, muscles are associated with masculinity. Thus, this trope, in which a character angsts about having not enough or too much muscle. There are two versions:

  • A lot of body-image issues are related to/centered around femininity. Thus, we have tropes such as Big Breasts, Big Deal, A-Cup Angst, Hollywood Homely/Pudgy/Thin, Fat Girl, and so on. But the same way that thinness and breasts are associated with femininity, muscles are associated with masculinity. Thus, this trope, in which a character angsts about having not enough or too much muscle. There are two versions: * Not Enough Muscle: The Always Male version. A weak or skinny male character angsts about not being muscular. The focus may be on how this affects his success with women, his usefulness in sports/combat, or his attractiveness. If the focus is on his success with women, Weakness Turns Her On may come into play as a solution/counterpoint. Unlike breast size, which is mostly unchangeable without surgery, it is possible to build muscle, so whether this trope is justified or not depends on there being a health reason for the male being incapable of doing so. * Too Much Muscle: The Always Female version. A female character, usually an Action Girl worries that her muscles are unattractive to men. This version is similar to No Guy Wants an Amazon. Just like Weakness Turns Her On may come into play in the first version, Hot Amazon or Amazonian Beauty may come into play in this version. Examples of Muscle Angst include:
