Who said I was talking about you?

Originally posted by Fledz I would hazard to say that a lot of the airbrushed and stick figure "beauties" in magazines are driven more by what women perceive to be perfection, rather than men. A point so conveniently always skipped over.

srussell has it right - it's more of female interpretations of what men like - better said, what women need to be to succeed in a male dominated society. and not in a necessarily active way, but in a way that is literally fused to the fashion industry and culture in general.

and in part it IS what men like as well. and also in part what women actually do like, or what they have grown up needing to like. Just like men need to have an expressed apathy about fashion except for classics for the most part.

i don't think the important thing for men isn't so much that all women are perfect 10s, but rather that they should aspire to that. a woman who refuses to participate in this game of hotness and sexuality is just seen as uncool, hostile, or contrarian.

of course there are both male and female exceptions to this vicious arrangement

Please, will you? I'm being completely serious and in no way joking. I even didn't give you my phone number and everything, I just thought you'd be able to guess it. Apparently not

So are you saying that if the media didn't portray women (or men) in the way that you describe, nobody would aspire to look like that? If people didn't think they were expected to look like models in order to succeed, they would just let themselves go and not care about what they look like?
