because they sell soap. People like to buy into the unrealistic ideal. In my experience, most men don't want a woman who looks the media stereotype.

They're not telling us what to want, they're responding to a very dull, least-common-denominator average that hits the widest audience. Averages over a wide audience do not reflect individual tastes--they are a very distorted and strange picture.

Imagine if there were only 3 bands to choose from, how bland they would be in order to maximize numbers--oops, that's our current music industry...

The fact that these chicks are in the media is not surprising...but what the media does tell you is that these chicks are beautiful--that's where the distortion is...these chicks are DULL.

This is what I mean.

You said because they sell. Why are they "ideal" is my question. Is it nature, or has everyone been brainwashed.

Then again, men don't want a woman like that? I'm really confused now.

I think that the people that did not get any as a kid and looked at Playboy now have a lot of power control.

The people on T.V are to look at. No one looks at Pam Anderson and goes.."gee I wonder what she thinks about the middle east Situation."

What made me fall in Love with who I have now is first, I was attracted to her. Then I started having serious discussions with her from movies to politics to music.

I would get off on her mind so much, it made me want her even more.

It got to the point where I started looking at Maxim and Playboy and Victoria's Secret catalogs and going "Damn, I bet that would look so good on her"

I just want someone who has my back no matter what. Because, I will always have hers.

Loyalty is very important.

Dogs are considered a guys best friend not because they are the most graceful animal, but they are loyal.

Personal note: I prefer cats...

To answer the question...my ideal woman is something like Jeanine Garafolo...full lips, full ass, and mocking attitude with some brains. My wife, basically...

Your additions to my list are absolutely perfect!

teller said:

Are you saying that they purposely select those who are "uncommon"? Then why would the average male (females too) give their left nut for one of these ladies? Playboy bunnies are what the average male considers perfect, airbrushing and all.

I've been fed that the reason most men want to be rock stars, celebrities, or millionaires is to have one of them as another sign of "success".

LaVisHh said:

Ok...maybe I'm just sheltered, but I don't know anyone would give their left nut for Brittany Spears. Brittany Spears is a plastic doll.

That chick at the bowling alley, however, everyone seems to want her...but then we were all at the bowling alley at the time, so...

LaVisHh said:

then why all the flack about BEN AFLEKS wig...
and would he still be THE SEXIEST MAN
if he took his pics WITHOUT THE PIECE???

Ideal Female??? HMMM Someone that can put up with my butt!!!

I agree with you Lavish :K: , media tries to tell you what is ideal. Media tries to brainwash you.

Much Love,

Could be! Sean Connery is considered very sexy, and marketable. Career lengths for male actors are longer lasting and better paid, with much less stringent rules.

It just isn't the same.

Shoot I'm with you on the Britney Spears thang!!! I wouldn't even give her a second look. Well unless she looked at me crazy then I would have to give her a second look while beating her fake Boobs up.

Much Love,

WOW Bad! ...Who would have ever thought? ... A romantic you are...

LaVisHh said:

he SEAN is an OLDER MAN... DISTINGUISHED as it were
there are OLDER WOMEN who share those distinctions
SHIT... ORSON WELLS was a sexy motherfucker...
BUT BEN is YOUNG!!!
if SEAN lost his hair as JAMES BOND
that motherfucker would have been THROUGH!!!

lolinex said:

Nice to see you round these parts, S.

teller said:

Aww, that's sweet.

Jeanine Garafolo would probably be my ideal woman too. I bet she'd be fun to live with, and a tiger in bed.

My husband thinks she's hot too. I wonder if she's married/monogamous. . .

Doves,

But the number of women who share that distinction is FAR and few inbetween. In fact, I'd bet there are next to null females who haven't been told, or felt the need to have plastic surgery just to get work in the media.

It's hard to say, about the "if SEAN lost his hair" back during the James Bond days...cuz he didn't. BUT take a look at how popular Patrick Stewart of Star Trek: The Next Generation is/was? He was also voted, I don't remember what year, as one of the sexiest men alive!



this is fun

What if a woman possessed all of the qualities that you liked, and had some emotional issues..

And say you really adored her, would you help her through them, or would you say later?

I have seen many wonderful woman/men who possess wonderful qualities, and due to circumstances, and assholes, their lives have been marred. Some who can be helped, others beyond repair...

Am I unrealistic to believe that we can help each other..

I can't find her picture

LaVisHh said:

teller said:

She is so funny! I would love to have a friend like her..

so much that I posted twice.....

Yeah, look at Drew Carey. He is not gorgeous, but is connected with women on his show who are...also, it's obvious that he would never date a woman who was the non-ideal media type.

teller said:

YAY Teller! You're a real man

Why you LaV, of course!

But seriously, she already exists. I don't have to describe her either. I'll just post a picture instead.
