I understand Evo-psych is not a hard science. But boys are supposed to be much more competitive because they had a more 'winner takes all' situation in our evolutionary past. Thus I don't think this has much to do with evolutionary impulses instead of easy availability of photo editing tools, and just a large scale (being surrounded by photos of celebrities and models, who have PEDs + dedicated diet + make up + professional photography, but media perpetuating it as normal body image).
Now there's similar issue with male body image, but somehow that's even more extreme (visible six pack abs with single digit body fat), thus boys will think its not achivable without 8 hour workout a day and not bother, whereas for girls it seems like contemporary female body image is perfectly achivable to them or their peers and they lose sleep over it.
