Unhappy

I think we are all manipulated, tk, if we were happy with our lot we wouldn't go out and buy stuff, so the advertisers need to make us feel inadequate

Yes, by men. Who else?

edited to add:

Just read some of the comments from blokes on threads on here if you are in any doubt about how many blokes view the role of a woman.

I'll start you with one from a few days ago, from here.

My GF is a nurse - and moans her t1ts off when she has to cook my tea after she gets home after a 14hr shift - I wouldn't mind I not a fussy eater, a full english breakfast usually does the trick as I'm more often than semi-p1ssed when she gets in.

She usually comes round to my way of thinking after administering a large reprimand though, so I shouldn't really complain.
I wish I was joking, but I'm afraid its true. Never was a big fan of "girl power".

I don't agree with that idea. I'd say the pressure to conform to an ideal is on all of us. Men are also bombarded with images of perfect looks etc. Look at a Gillette advert, or a shampoo ad - when was the last time it included a scrawny little guy, or a fatty?

Also, take the DIET COKE ad where the women swoon over the window cleaner who takes his shirt off?

Men's Health magazine sells huge amounts every month, and what's on the front cover every month? And what are the articles about? Losing weight, building muscles, improving your looks etc etc..

Are you telling me the Mr Muscle adverts weren't designed around the concept that sex sells?!

Em's right, it's diet coke. Song from it is, I think "I Just wanna makes love to you" by Etta James - was released in 1999.

True about the bloke ads, but the point is, do most blokes think, oooh, I MUST look like that otherwise girls won't look at me? I don't, and I'm a pretty typical bloke. yeah, I'd not mind looking that way, but I prefer a girl to like me for me, rather than what I look like.

I like big butts and I cannot lie........

I prefer ladies with a little meat on, not humungous big piles of lard but nicely curved with a bit of jiggly stuff in the right places, what really puts me of any woman (not that it matters, married) is smoking, you see loads of Orange skinned skinny bleached blondes round here smoking for England whilst flicking their hair ( I hate that, and hooking it round their ears all the time, argghhhh) and thinking they look fantastic. As for the big Calves thing, I like them like that, not huge flabby ones but a bit of muscle looks right.

Natrual is where its at, not too much make up, dyed hair is okay if its wacky or looks natrual, oh and ladies, cleavage is most appreciated but your pants hangin out the back of those daft jeans that just cover your modesty is looking a little hackneyed, especially with a w4nky tattoo above you **** crack.

If those jeans come any lower, I have a invented a new concept, cleavage suggests a little flesh shown in the bosom area, beavage is to be used to describe plunging waistlines.

AND, I am going to loiter in the town centre with a long bungee cord tied at one end to a lamp post and when a lady (or a bloke for that matter) goes past displaying underwear (Thats underwear, so called as you are meant to wear it UNDER other clothes) I am going to hook it to the thong and watch as the bungee uncoils........

Muhahahahahahahahahah

mmm hooking hair round ears, I like that, very cute, wether the girly is doing it or I'm hooking the hair behind her ears.

Smoking girls don't bother me, used to think they would, but nope, not a problem at all. OK, not saying it's sexy or anything, just that it does not bother me. Would I try and force a girl to give up smoking? nope, not my place to.

I'm allergic to cigarette smoke so I'd never go out with a smoker. I think it smells and tastes revolting.

Must admit that to be honest, I don't notice the taste, and it never effected my asthma either.

Urrgghh
Not my cup of Darjeeling. I like a woman you can get hold of and throw around a bit, you know built to take the pounding of heavy action. I much prefer a woman with a few extra pounds here and there, must be from my wop mother. Skiny girls you can keep them. And no I am not a fat bloke, and I can appreciate her beauty but not for me

on the assumption that pg 1 girl doesnt were loads af fake tan and get pumped before a first date i think she more likley to scub up better than a fat lass! she will also still look good in 20 yrs time if she chooses- unlike fat lass.

T

ps- did someone say "are those implants" lol....no, she has developed an ability to shed fat from her entire body....except her t1ts!

Well, I'm going against the grain. I don't have a "type". I do find the woman on page 1 attractive and I admire the effort it takes to get to that stage.

I'm also sympathetic with TurboKitty. I was a 15 stone overweight kid and as you can all imagine I was the joke of the year. So, I began to diet, lose weight and get down to 10 stone at the age of 18. About 2 year ago I started to weight train in order to pursue a career in professional wrestling (insert "FAKE" joke here!) and I'm now 14 and a half stone of muscle and suffer from numerous steroid and idiot comments etc. You just can't win.

I enjoy weight training and I'll continue to do it for myself. I like all kind's of women but, and I know this is a cliché, I find the most attractive thing about a woman is her mind. How much muscle is too much? When it endangers your health than that’s too much muscle. Oh, and if I find some webspace I'll post a picture if anyone's interested in what 8 hours a week for 2 years down the gym does for you

I was thinking about all this this morning while I was driving about. I was looking at the women who were out and about and I just don't find larger women attractive. Have I been conditioned to be like this?

Crikey, how did i miss a thread like this??

Personally i think the girl on page one looks fantastic, because;

1. She doesn't look anything like that out of the gym and not holding a barbell which is flexing her muscles even further, and

2. She must have incredible willpower to have achieved that, which i find appealing.

True.. but then she probably spends every spare minute in the gym, which is a bit sad

(and in no way like spending spare time on a BBS.. cos I'm pretending to be working..)

Is is the full on Arnold Schwarzenegger look?
If so I'll cut down the 15 hours a week I've been doing for two months... Don't particularly want to look great but after fur years of seriously abusing my body in Tenerife I figured it's time to trim up. The goal is set - military entry standard.

Toned is good, but that's a bit OTT in my opinion..

However, NEVER change how you look for other people, stuff what they think, they'll always be people who dont like how you look, and they'll always be people who love it, no matter what you look like, tastes differ. Look how you want to look, if your happy with how you look, then that's great, that's what you should aim for.

Are the people who comment and make nasty remarks about how people look really the kind of people you want to know?
