I'm not a guy, but really wanted to voice my opinion on this one. The Dove campaign is a very clever marketing ploy, thought up in a posh, air-conditioned boardroom in a tower block in a cosmopolitan city by a bunch of 20-something spin doctors. HOWEVER, it's great that finally women of all shapes and sizes are shown to be beautiful in their own right. Being thin and gaunt isn't attractive. Being healthy and happy, and not being totally pre-occupied by weight gain is a far more attractive quality. If a woman's happy on the inside she glows and is a radiant being.

It is a WONDERFUL campaign. I am far from being a "girl", but the skinny as sticks ideal came into being when I was a young teen.
Her name was TWIGGY, and ever since she was the first super skinny supermodel the female ideal shoved in the faces of teens and now 'tweens is skinny, skinny, skinny.
At one point in my young adulthood I was about 120 lbs at 5' 9" which was a wee bit on the skinny side. Now, in my early fifties, I am a bit close to the other extreme of HWP....155 pounds.

they are all truly alluring. the certainty is, probable basically a million% of anybody are that alluring, and easily a million% of those human beings are the super tall unusual looking style types. easy human beings do no longer look something like those Dove advert women persons. maximum folk have the incorrect clothing on and a bad haircut and undesirable epidermis or a great nostril or maybe if. go searching interior the food market or on the metro. according to threat one in one hundred are attractive, and one in one thousand are amazing. genuine? commercials, ordinarily, are style of strange for that reason. Do they charm to what human beings *needed* they gave the effect of? i'm being a splash facetious. I do think of human beings do have organic attractiveness, yet they spend a number of time disguising it with makeup and hair dye and eating and smoking and not exercising consultation and then they look undesirable. If extra human beings regarded organic and took care of themselves, they might look plenty extra effective!

Im naturally slim some would say thin and i find it offensive when people think its due to dieting. I think the women in the dove advert are pretty and you dont have to be stick thin to be considered pretty. But then on the other hand hearing that thin women are ugly annoys me because no matter how hard i try i find it difficult putting weight and i dont think its good for anyones self esteem to generalise.

I love it and would love to shake the hand of the person who came up with the idea, maybe now it might just make the young girls out there believe it is OK to have some meat on their bones and stop them going down the eating disorder road, how a woman with a stick insect body can possibly imagine its sexy is beyond me, you know what they say, if you've got then flaunt it,
real women have and hope they always will.

Do you no what makes me sick,its all you 'Womanly shaped women' That are banging on about us skinny women or match sticks as you have so kindly put it.
If you really dont have an issue with your weight then cool but dont keep putting down all the women that like too keep in shape or are just naturally slim.We dont go on about you needing to loose weight so what gives you lot the right to tell us how we look.Sorry but this issue really winds me up,do you get my point?x

I think it's great that Dove did that. It's about time someone or some company let the rest of the world (or U.S. if the commercials aren't worldwide) that you don't have to be skinny to be on T.V. or attractive.
It's a nice change of pace to see that people with normal bodies like you, me and our neighbors (don't take it literally people, I mean normal people that aren't rail thin like most actors or actresses) can actually be viewed on television by others.

Great comment...Us girls, with curves in the right places, are sick of the mags trying to make us believe anorexic is the way to be. When I was really skinny it was painful to make love, bones bashing etc. Now it's much more fun!

Does anyone let adverts tell them what body they should find attractive? I guess so. The Dove advert is just playing up to what you're all saying, they know all that sh it winds you up so they are using it to say 'hey we think like you, that's good, so buy this.' All women are hyper-paranoid about their body so this is trying to make you feel good to part with your money. Like when someone pays you a compliment just before they con you.
Marketing - if they don't get you one way they'll get you the other.
