Other than that, I totally dig male nudity!

On a more serious note, it does objectify men on some levels. It also places near impossible standards on how an "ideal" man should appear. If we searched all of DU, we might find a HANDFUL of men who even looked like these dudes. There have been studies, and they are becoming more common, about disordered eating among men, as well as body image issues. It has spilled over from the gay/bisexual male community into the heterosexual community.
