I think the Victoria Secret ads are stupid, but at least they don't make the models look like mind-controlled bimbos out to flash men and grope them.

Brian M, it is sad to see how thin some women believe they have to be. Bony limbs and skin so tight it presses against their ribs, et al.

How is it a question like this inevitably gets a complaint about not being fair to every sex, religion, race, etc? It's not my obligation to speak with empathy for all the mistreatment men face in commercials. What's next, how cats are portrayed in commercials? Where do people come up with this stuff? My question is about Tag Body Spray commercials. Deal with it.

No, I think you are reading to much into the ads.

It's supposed to be funny. If a man really believes that then he is an idiot. The commercial os for comedy and playing to a male fantasy. And it is a fantasy, because most men realize that a woman wouldn;t just jump them for them smelling good. and another reason it is a fantasy and it funny and exaggerated because it plays into the fantasy or how much a man would love being bombarded by hot women wanting sex. The reason is becasue in the real world a man has to work to hook up with a woman in the first place let alone a woman to just randomly get horny and just want sex for a guy smelling good or a bunch of women lustfully wanting him. So it plays on this far fetched fantasy of women being aggresively lustful on the dot from the smell of a man and throwing a man for a good loop, because of perhaps a man would so love it if that would actually happen or maybe even wish regarding female sexuality. Because the reverse of a woman hainvg a spray that smelled good and men all clamoring up for her lustfully would not really be that far fetched. Not becasue all duddes would actually do that, but becasue it seems much more realistic due to biology and men's sexuality difference from women. Men being lustufl like that doesn;t seem as unrealistic, because of the way guys work, where,s the women clamoring for the men smelling good seems much more fictional, becasue of women not being lustful like that or aggresively lustful like thwst or turning on like a switch easily like men can be.

To be honest, I can't take these commercials very seriously. They are illusionary. They do, however, appeal to men's secret fantasy of being desired by many women. This kind of marketing will sell product and that's the bottom line. I think It is more degrading to the man who buys the product and finds out that it takes a little more than body spray to turn a woman's head. Then "being had" takes on a whole new meaning for him.

In the United States what much of the media portrays women as is degrading period. It is very sad. It is up to us "good guys" to let them know they do not need to be perfect. To let them know they do not have to be 100 pounds and wear the "latest" fashions to be loved.
It breaks my heart to see my wifes daily routine that she is so obsessed with. I wish she could relax more. It is difficult I know. I am not a woman, but I can't help but have compassion for them.

So guys are never portrayed as mindless drooling dogs out to get some tail? Give me a break. It's a commercial, not a preschool play. Let's keep the PC Police out of it.

I am a woman and don't find them degrading. It's just advertising, is it degrading to see the commercials where a woman is selling a cleaning product, because it's "woman's work"? NO! Just marketing, everyone knows women won't throw themselves at you just because you wear Tag Body Spray.

i think they are just dumb in general, trying to make guys think that that spray will actually attract that many women, and that kind of woman, lol. Yeah, and its pretty sad how you never see regular sized women on TV that much....all the women on TV look like they seriously need a pork chop throw their way.

Well lol you bring up a decent point, but basic marketing tells you to look at the audience. Tag isn't marketing towards self-respecting women, it's aimed towards guys looking for an easy lay.

That's true, and the Tag Body Spray doesn't even smell that great. It makes me sick to my stomach.
