Real Women

[Shelly]

Personally, I don't like male strip clubs. I'm sure the guys are very nice and they're obviously working hard to make a buck, but it's just not my cup of tea. But I know what you're talking about with the female reactions they get. Women at male strip clubs are nuts! I guess my equivalent would be sporting events - I prefer male athletes over strippers.

So's an Oprah audience member!

Here is what we've learned:

Guys like looking at attractive, skinny women with large breasts.
Women want men to be attracted to women more like themselves.

Groundbreaking stuff.

BTW, the intention of this thread was not to bash men. I hope y'all didn't take it that way

[SWC Bonfire]

Men's idea of beauty is not going to change because of some ad campaign. Do some looking at legitimate research done on beauty - it crosses cultural and ethnic bounds. It is something deeply ingrained in us since birth.

[angel_luv]

Personally I think the most attractive person is the one who likes theirself enough to find beauty in those around them.

I think that the whole idea of one size of models is ridiculous.

The whole point of attraction is that everybody considers something different whether it be green eyes, no hips, broad shoulders, what have you, to be good looking.

Even if two men think the same woman is pretty, it does not follow that they like the same physical features about her.
It sounds cliche, but beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder.

I think that the biggest battle is to be healthy and to like yourself. As soon as one starts to master that, admirers are bound to eventually follow.

Yes, I know...we should all be happy and content that some of us will never be 22 again or physically perfect no matter how hard we try and just grin and bare that little factoid shoved in our face every time we turn around.

[spurschick]

Personally, I think it boils down to priorities.

Would you rather your wife be satisfied and happy with you or to have to fantasize about Brad Pitt to get off when you were making love to her?

Read the post. The point I'm trying to make is that certain things are "no brainers" reactions. They are immediate while others they take time. Is it genetic? I don't know, but be honest you can predict the reaction of 90% of people accurately to a certain set up (candid camery has made a career of exactly that).

And to answer you question I'd rather see her happy with me, but you comparision is not of the same type as mine. The fair question would be would my wife be more likely to talk to me or to Brad Pitt if she just saw us in a crowd for the first time. Odds are she would chose me! (you should have seen me 15 years ago )

[angel_luv]

How can there be a " physically perfect" when thousands of people will swear that a different person is the best looking person they have ever seen?

[JoeChalupa]

I love "gorditas"!!!

[Extra Stout]

The Dove ads feature the girl next door... in her underwear. Why is this a problem?

Women want men to be attracted to women more like themselves.

This is what gets me... there is a pretty wide category for "attractive." But that's not enough, is it? For pretty much any guy in the world who is not an absolute ing asshole like that Roeper dude, if he were with any of the majority of those girls, he'd be feeling pretty good about his fortunes.

But a lot of "regular" women still really hate the tall, slender, voluptuous types. They won't be happy until they figure out a way to rewire the male brain so that Swedish-bikini-model women are considered "ugly."

that was beautiful.

seriously, well said girl.

Well, the underwear model isn't nearly attractive after a while when she nags all the time, does nothing but shop & spend money, and can't boil water. There are other things that make a woman attractive that add to the whole.

I agree, but unfortunatly, like 1Parker1 posted in an earlier post, 4% of the women polled consider themselves beautiful. That has a lot to do with adverstising and you can also bet it also has a lot to do with some guy comparing her to someone she could never be.

That's very true. I got asked out a lot more once I adopted social apathy a few years ago - and a lot of the guys that asked me out specifically commented on liking how I carried myself.

[angel_luv]

To elaborate on the whole, beauty is inthe eye of the beholder theory, imagine this experiment.
If every one on the forum listed what they found most attractive about person X, I believe the follwoing things are likely to occur

* someone would like best what Person X secretly hates about themself

* Person X's best feature,according to the poll, might not be what the Person X would have guessed would get picked.

* Someone will appreciate a feature about Person X that Person X is oblivious of.


Sound possible to anyone else?

I don't think that 5"10 women who weigh 125 are the only beautiful women in this world. I find all kind of women attractive. I work in a place where there is all kinds of women. All races. Different shapes and sizes. A woman who can always wear a smile is very attractive.

[angel_luv]

I agree, but unfortunatly, like 1Parker1 posted in an earlier post, 4% of the women polled consider themselves beautiful.

And to me, that ought to be much more of a concern to women than what the guys or their peers think.

It is madness to base your style and worth on the ever changing public opinion. When you do that, you rob yourself of the chance to be yourself and find out who loves you for you.

I learned this the hard way. No more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope you can keep up that kind of at ude....it gets exponentially more difficult to maintain when you have many more years of time marching across your face. And gravity yanking on your girls.

your petname for user is 'gravity'?

I couldn't agree with you more Angel. Women are far more attractive when they are real according to how they think what real is, not what society thinks real is.

This all sounds really great, but... when I look at quite a few threads posted in this forum referring to women as " es", male-centric lists that say women who like sports have to be on probation to prove it, plus the many threads started about half-naked women that someone would "hit", I'm afraid that I've lost faith.

ROFL

[spurjur]

Why lose faith? Trust me that a good man who is worth it will be more attractive to those who are real.
