Sometimes they get a little too bold. Take a look at this one... I hope you'll excuse the slightly-tactful nudity.
The Intended Message:
- Size doesn’t matter. Everyone is beautiful.
- Men are too hard on us women. We women are too hard on ourselves.
- Looks are subjective and shouldn’t play a role in mate-selection.
What Men Think When They See This:
- Wow. Size does matter. Especially when you’re naked.
- What man actually goes for a 12? Ladies, we agree on the size 8 thing.
- Looks are objective. They’re gunna factor into my choices.
Of course, no one will ever point this out. It's not politically correct for women to be wrong about issues of self esteem. Men, of course, aren't cut the same slack.
If Men Were Dumb Enough To Try This:
- Size doesn’t matter. These are all good guys.
- Women expect too much. Men shouldn't worry about income.
- Finances don’t make a guy less desirable and shouldn’t be a relationship factor.
What Women Think When They See This:
- Jake... Cadillac, 3,000 sq ft, shoes.
- Tom... Mid-size, 2,000 sq ft, shoes.
- Chad... Minivan, rented apartment, shoes.
Further that women don't understand what men find attractive in women is that Anna, size 12 in the pic does not have an hourglass figure, rather fairly straight.
ReplyDeleteTake away the head and breasts and you could mistake her for a young man.
For men it's not about dress sizes, it's about curvaciousness, femininity.
Excellent blog by the way.
Cheers
if some of those heftier chicks simply had the matching bigger boobs, i wouldn't mind so much. way too often tho'....she's flat chested, the rest of the weight is in legs that must rub 24/7 whenever she walks...and the face is hardly appealing. let's be serious. if most of your overweight, weight, is all set below your navel....we have a serious problem.
ReplyDeleteHILARIOUS! Oh, how I laughed when I scrolled down to the second picture. I was just thinking that the 'size 12' woman isn't really men's ideal at all ... glad I'm not the only one to realise this.
ReplyDeleteNice work!
Fantastic Blog. Great writing.
ReplyDeleteBtw, I heard women make judgements based on what our shoes look like - Should I care about it too much?
We can learn that women want much more than men... Why can't you be happy with what you have? I speak for myself (an 18yo man) when I say I prefer personality over looks, but of course I don't want a butt ugly woman... And even if I won those 110k a year (although I'm in high school) I would have a bigass house with a Cadillac, I would probably have a rent apartment with a Smart ForTwo, because it is enough for me... you should learn that, you girls want everything thing to be extremely perfect, and you'll never be happy if you don't have realistic expectations
ReplyDeleteto respond to Guilherme...it's because of what I call "the Barbie effect". I and all girls I know were told all the time that we must find a Jake-Ken and look like skinny Barbie with big Ts.
ReplyDeletePersonally I tried forgetting this stupid propaganda (as I would prefer a comfy small apartment, with a Chad lol-if he has a nice personality)...but deep down it's still there (probably because my mom and grandma and every other female adult I met 'adviced' me not to even dare look at any man besides Jake. :(
The only guys who go for any girl over size 5 are those who have low self-esteem. I see some guy waltzing down the street hand-in-hand with a blimp and I feel his pain. Or I laugh. Depends on the mood.
ReplyDeleteNow, here's a quote that describes the size 0-2:
"Girls are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the ... Instead, they just get the rotten apples that are on the ground that aren't as good, but easy. ..."
I see this dumb ass quote on t shirts from time to time. Mostly, I'm just checking out some chick's rack, but I happen to read this 'revelation'. Yes, the reason that nobody is trying to 'get' you is because you feel too entitled to the Jakes of the world who will buy you shit. Who wants to deal with you?
I think I'll just stay single and sit this one out.
Well, I was looking for legitimate material about the propaganda of gender, and found this.
ReplyDeleteEd's comment is really funny, but also kind of sad."The only guys who go for any girl over size 5 are those who have low self-esteem." Is it possible that those men simply desire something that isn't fed to them by a dangerously engendered media system of propaganda about the qualifications for masculinity? This comment lacks objectivity, like the entire post seems to. I think the points made about women's "sacred self esteem" COULD be legitimate if properly argued, but it's also painfully obvious you're entrenched in a set of ideals you fail to see as manufactured for your demographic (ideals with a specific agenda). You're a white male between the ages of 18 and 40 who wants to be rich when he grows up. You likely live in the US, you're probably from the West Coast. You don't like anything you haven't been indirectly told to like because that would jeopardize your perceived abilities to advance in society (in a socially acceptable way, without regard for separate personal happiness based in existential or subjective responsibility of free will). You like these things and believe as you do because you have to, but you haven't realized that yet. The media and the institutions of power and propaganda whose suggestions you take down like medicine from mum are making it impossible for you NOT to be sexist. It's a damn shame. But in the end, you're doing what you think is best. It's all in where the power lies, isn't it? I'm saying I don't blame you for being sexist, but sexism is simply just a product of intellectual laziness. And, like most people, you appear intellectually lazy. There are many women out there who don't care how tall you are or what kind of car you drive ("hot" women, too. I quote this because I'm referring to your ridiculously branded version of female attractiveness). There are also plenty of men who aren't losers or ugly and choose to date heavy women. While I'm not one of them, I'm still certainly glad I don't have as white of wool as you.
Best of Luck, Fellas.
Your life is bound to be a puddle of misconceptions and "settling" if you continue to simply do what you're told.
