I'd much rather see normal people. It actually turns me off from products when they only show people who are 'perfect'. It always brings me down a bit and I don't even have that many body image issues. No matter how good I look or how happy I am with myself, I still believe in the back of my mind that other people (mostly men) would rather I look like a woman in a magazine. I think I'm thin at 120 lbs but I think other people think I should lose weight. It's given me a type of low self esteem where I think I'm pretty but the world thinks I'm ugly. It's frustrating.

As a guy the women in magazines are nice to look at but most guys would not like a girl like that even if they did exist, plus they are fake pictures with all the makeup and photo-shop work done on the pictures, and yes maybe we miss the old days where if you saw a girl on a Mag. it was just make-up

it particularly is precisely why i do no longer study any of that corporal bullsh*t. all it does is makes women sense undesirable and ***** approximately one yet another and it turns men shallow. it particularly is all self-satisfying prophecy. if we by no ability had issues like that no person could be stricken. then they convey about each physique of those 'scientific information' that asserts the extra eye-catching you are the less demanding you will improve into pregnant. it particularly is complete rubbish. i'm overweight and shapeless with lumpy legs and conceived without concern. comparable with many different women i understand. ideals of elegance are thoroughly cultural. in some african international places they feed each bride as much as be obese and make some women positioned on huge dangly issues with the aid of their ears. what we do is in simple terms as bizzarre and is going with no longer something yet our own human ideals. in my opinion the western international make issues up so as that some evil marketplace constructive components money and ability from women's misery. it particularly is all lies. yet regrettably, it gets to maximum people. i think of each a sort of magazines could be burned, which incorporate issues like FHM. the western international has this plastic lifestyle that suggests each healthful woman is tiny, hour glass formed and looks like a doll with symmetrical constructive properties. it is not actual. women could nicely be healthful and appear as if that yet women could nicely be healthful and not appear as if that.

Absolutely not. If guys expect women like the ones they see in magazines, they will never be satisfied, because they are "real" women.

As long as the product they are promoting shows increase in the sale then yes.
