attractive female body? As if we are unable to decide on our own what looks good and what does not ?

I personally consider it yet another shaming tactic, as if to say:
" If you don't think I'm sexy ,It's because you've been brainwashed by the media."

What do you think ?
 
No, and I also don't believe that if a man sprays himself with Axe body spray he'll become the most sexually desired man on the planet.
The media doesn't always dictate reality, some of us little ladies are aware of that.
 
No, I didn't have to watch the media before I started liking healthy minded/bodied chicks.
 
The media is often an extension of society. The media did not "decide" the type of women men are attracted to... they just publicized it.

Those hot sexy women are what a mans "first choice" would be.

Feminists often say.. "But some men like fat girls or claim that they are not attracted to slim women.. etc."

My response to that is similar to women who date deadbeats: PEOPLE TAKE WHAT THEY CAN GET. Dating fat girls doesn't mean they are your first choice... it just means you don't think you can attract sexy girls.
 
Sure. And we're all so hard pressed to fit that image that we've become HUGE! It's your fault we're too thin and your fault we're too fat.
Damn men!
 
Sorry to interrupt you, but I've also never heart of girls liking a fat short guys.... and the media dictates long and muscley guys as perfect

it goes both way and girls should stop complaining like they are the only victims of mass media. We are both shallow
 
I think the media conditions *women* to consider this or that attractive. Men seem to have their own ideas. Real men, not the men on t.v. And they generally are not the same standards as the ones encouraged by the media.

They don't seem to mind so much if a woman isn't quite as unrealistically skinny as the women on t.v. (seriously....why are their waists all 24 inches around? feed these ladies a burger, stat!). They don't care if our makeup is on trend, or if our clothes are a bit behind the fashion. Women are the ones who are influenced more by the media in this regard, not men.
 
No, I don't believe that. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and thats all there is to it.
 
I think the media does dictate what is considered beauty for the time to some extent. Look how "beautiful" body types have changed over the years. Everything from Mae West and Marilyn Monroe to Twiggy and Kate Moss. But I also think your environment has something to do with it too-your relationship with the females who helped raise you etc.
 
I watched a documentary on this.

Male mag with artificially slimmed down model on the front cover wont sell as well a one with a more natural looking model.

Female mag with a more natural looking model on the front cover wont sell as well as one with an artificially slimmed model on the cover.


These days, its very common for women to blame men for outcomes that are generated by women themselves.
