Very true. The girls on the cover of Cosmopolitan at the grocery store are honestly not that great looking compared to Maxim babes. I don't like actual 'supermodels' at all. They are all anorexic and plain looking - with very few exceptions. |

Inferiority complex and/or insecurity which leads them to lash out at others because they feel they are unattractive.

The basic parameters about WHAT is attractive in women IS set by men, as it has been throughout history, and women respond to that. So, in part, I believe that assumption to be correct. However, the fierce COMPETITION among women, which leads to the extremes, is all their own doing (driven by basic, hardwired tendencies in women to want to "attract" the "best" man). |

I agree also. But that is what women are told by television, magazines, etc. God forbid they should get an original thought.  And that of course includes the propensity of western women to blame men for all of their shortcomings and unhappiness. Lot of messed up women out there and I can only imagine that women you meet in a college sociology class are going to be on the far end of the bell curve for emotional problems. |

The really ironic part is that young women tend to be consumed by the desire to achieve an appearance which has been popularized by the gay guys who work in the fashion industry and for the magazines. LOL
Gay guys and women are the only ones I know who think skinny models with boyish bodies are sexually attractive. |

My (female) cousin lived in France for a year and a half, and commented the exact same thing. Fashion is big in France, and most of the designers are gay. Naturally, their favorite models happen to be women who resemble 12 year old boys. |

But the curves are caused by FAT. a little fat is ok. when they are a foot shorter than me and they way as much as i do then, we have a problem. i would rather see a chick with a couple extra pounds than one with a few to few. but then i don't mine a little muscle to go with the meat. |

IMHO, this chick is lying to herself. Women compete with other women for the attention of men. It's not so much that they act/look/etc in a way that they think will attract men, they act/look/etc to circumvent, undermine, or outdo other womens' attention getting measures. |

Clothes look best on hangers, models need to be built like hangers. They want to showcase the clothes, not the woman wearing them. If Pam Anderson was a fashion model no one would remember what she had on. |

She's whacked. Of course it's not mens' fault. The problem is that the 'ideal' woman is portrayed in the entertainment media as being stick thin with huge silicone breasts and teens and younger women especially think that this is what they have to be in order to be attractive to men. If you take it to it's most basic form, the reason most men are attracted to a woman with curves is because were designed to lay down fat deposits in order to nurse our young through lean times. We're programmed as a species to procreate, hence we look for the healthiest specimin with which to mate.

Most men have some idea that the human body is composed of muscle and fat, two distinctly different things. Most women do not know this, and do not distinguish between lean and fat, but consider all weight the same. Moderate female muscle can be very shapely. The breasts of course are composed of glands and fat, not muscle. The posterioer is largely muscle with some fat (ideally). Anorexia seems to be a condition of high-performing, above average intelligence upper class young white women. I have read, and tend to agree that is a misguided striving for perfection. Very sad. And no, men are NOT to blame. No matter who says what, we are in control of our own corporal essence. |

Most actresses and models are pretty skinny in real life because the camera tends to add 10-15lbs.

I really don't think anyone is "to blame." I think what we have is a failure to look at the big picture. Breaking it down for the ARFCOM section of Society:
We have society's "accepted" beauty ideal. We have ARFCOM's "accepted" beauty ideal (in BOTD threads and such) But the ONLY one that should have any impact is our own "accepted" beauty ideal. The young girls coming of age listen to the "experts." (Magazines, Hollywood) Even the young men (Lee Hotti anyone?  )As someone said, they have no original thought on it. As we get older, hopefully common sense and our own definition of beauty becomes our guide. I'm not stick thin. I'm also not fat. But I am happy where I am. Do I care if Hollywood or my neighbors or even folks here think I do not fit the beauty norm? Nope. But I am not a 15 year old girl.

Go to the grocery store and look at the tabloids as you stand in line. Britney Spaers just had a kid and they point out what a Whale she is. I mean, DAMN, she is still lactating, give the kid a break.
Women see this shit and Kate Moss' skinny ass on the rags at the check out line and they loose they damn minds.

The funny thing is getting mens attention is really easy. All she needs is average looks. The key is, have a good attitude, a healthy sexual desire, knock it out in bed, and stop with all the bullshit. Men would be flocking to her from all over the country. And that is something 50% of the women could do if they set their mind to it. All the stuff women do is to get other womens attention IYAM. They dont really care what the men think, which is why they act like they do. |

Look at the reaction of guys here to pics of heavy women and tell me most guys dont * really* want thinner females. Its whats in style in this century; the days of heavy women being fashionable ( Reubenesque )was a few hundred years ago when being heavy said you probably had the money to have enough food to be heavy. |

Here's the thing.
Men's taste in women differ... and this is a good thing. I respect whatever a man finds attractive in a woman. If you like up tall, short, big, small, blonde, brunette, redhead, flat, curvy, that's all fine. And there is NOTHING wrong with whatever you find attractive. Me, personally... I like 'em skinny. I just found some new pics of Claudia Schiffer, topless next to a pool... and my oh my... she is perfect. If we all liked exactly the same thing, what type of world would that be. For the life of me... I can't understand how we can argue about PERSONAL TASTE. |

I like skiny chicks ok, but I like fat chicks too. Big girl nead luving too!
 Too big of a butt means that I don't eat overcooked pie.Mostly I like a pretty face and big boobs. A small ass in a bonus. I could not see myself marrying a girl with boobs that were too small. But maybe some small boobie girl will nock my sock off and the rest will be history.  My "you fuking male bastanrd....I can't believe you said that" post of the day.
