Why is gay community obsessed with body?

Fair, tall, muscular, six pack are some of the important criteria that must be fulfilled in order to have someone who'll love you. That's sad! Our obsession over body has gone to such an extreme point that some of us are suffering from many fatal diseases such as malnutrition or anorexia just to feel lovable.
Where does this obsession come from? The answer could be given from different perspectives. First Porn, undoubtedly India has one of the biggest consumer of porn. Making Porn is illegal in our country. Therefore the gay porn which are available on internet belong to western countries. Actors in these films go through a very strict screening procedure along with maintain even stricter lifestyle just to keep themselves always jacked. Second Adapting Western Culture, westernization of our culture is a trend and sold in the name of globalization. Comparing us with them increases our expectations. Starting from the way we look to the way we behave everything is shaped by this mentality. We fantasize people having body to die for. 
From my perspective, Adapting Western Culture or even watching gay porn from other countries can't change us but can definitely shape our taste. Body shaming is very common problem which leaves a negative impact on us. No wonder why mental health issues are much higher in community. Therefore accept someone the way they are try to love the person inside that body and please don't judge a book by its cover. Trust me you will gain more than what you've ever imagined.
