I think those anorexic models look scary - not attractive at all.  We can blame the media, but those of us who buy those magazines and clothes are guilty of supporting their ads. Let's control what we can - our consumer behavior. The media will follow.

That's fun to say, but tell me a man doesn't want the hottest girl out there- skinny, long straightened hair, lengthy legs? Then tell me that this image of beauty isn't constructed by the media. The effect is subliminal and it is suffocating.

Well done on this video, it sums up the problems well. I just wish that this issue could reach the wider public. And I wish it would change.

@spiderpig3000 long straightened hair? since when had that been the perception of beautiful hair?

[mikimber1]

@spiderpig3000 I have yet to meet a man - a mature, realistic one anyway, that finds any of whats out there attractive. They prefer REAL  women. (Thankfully for me!! ;-) There are men out there whose heads are screwed on straight. Keep looking!

@artpal Amen to this.

@MsAgnosticatheist It's too bad that you have chosen to live your life alone and bitter. Other women (like my wife) are dressing up and catering to their men, having fantastic sex from a VERY interested man, and keeping their marriages running smoothly. Smart women use their sexuality and appearance to get the relationships they want. People like you deny reality and end up the corner alone and forgotten. You have been fooled into thinking "independence" will make you happy.

@JesusManson323 Troll. I used to waste my time fixing myself up to look stunning. I'm in a long term relationship now but still I have no desire to do so again 4 a man. Women put on make-up, wear heels, etc I like comfortable clothing. Soon I'll have job that pays enough so i can support myself. Not wasting my money on beauty products either. I'm beautiful but reject guys (like u) that are shallow & only appreciate my outward beauty never my inner. I'm sure u have no girlfriend at all troll.

@MsAgnosticatheist Women are men's property. We don't give a crap about how the world doesn't cater to you. This is a man's world. Now focus on making yourself look prettier and change your attitude and men will find you more attractive, instead of as a bitter cow.

Men do not understand how much women are influenced by the media. Everyone is. Hidden objectives are subliminally added to stimulate psychological effects that are unconscious. Natural bias such as magazines being made by males therefore having a male agenda and bias. Men don't understand what we go through.
