What men, or is it women, want?


Well this is something that happens every now and then. Although it is usually in a bar when everyone present is either drunk or well on the way to being drunk. One of the women at the table turns around suddenly, sloshing half her drink over the table and the people present at the table. She then glares at all the men present. After glaring a while she says: “You know, I hate all men. Why? Because they expect us to be thin and skinny like the girls in fashion magazines. Men are all just rubbish, since there is no possible way for normal women to look like that!”

There is a big problem here. Most men do not read fashion magazines. The only men that do are the ones who are fashion designers, and there is a high chance that they do not really care for women physically. Fashion magazines are normally written for fashion conscious women to ogle over the pretty and often petty new fashions for next spring autumn or which ever reason. This I assume is so that they can figure out what they should wear next. I admit that I am mostly guessing since I personally really do not know much about fashion or women’s magazines.

The same is true about Barbie dolls (by Barbie dolls here I just mean all dolls that little girls play with, not really saying anything about the Barbie product itself) since those dolls are some kind of “ideal” person. This is not a person that exists, and for a good reason, there is the claim that if a woman were really the shape of a Barbie doll she would be missing half her internal organs, and she would have back problems from her oversized breasts. But here again, this is something that most men, or in this case boys play with, or care about.

So in these cases how can a woman, any women claim that any man causes them to try and live up to these stereotypes? They cannot, it is mean and rude, and completely rubbish for them to do so! If women actually want to know what shape and size they have to be for men to appreciate them then they are definitely looking in the wrong place if what they look at is a fashion magazine. Since because hardly any men look at those they generally do not know what the women in them look like, and it is therefore definitely not the type of women they appreciate.

Where a women who is worried about her shape should be looking is rather at men’s magazines that feature women in them. Something like a For Him Magazine, maybe even a car magazine with a centerfold picture of a bikini clad women washing a car. Actually, even better, pron magazines. If a woman wants to see what shape of women men like then a pron magazine is definitely the perfect place to look. Men look at these magazines sometimes; men appreciate and like the looks of women in these magazines. Even better for women, is that the women in pron magazines are not skinny, in fact they are good and shapely. The breasts are usually a touch big, but not all men like big breasts. So if you are a girl and can handle the nakedness of women in pron magazines then you should definitely take a look at one of these before deciding if the shape you are is appealing to men or not. Trust me on this, most men will agree, curves are much better than ribs showing through skin.

  1. Ok wait, I have to comment on this myself. Since I had someone I know, say "What? WTF, really?" at the first paragraph. Yes, that really did happen to me, although not quite like that. There was a lot more swearing involved, and she actually pointed at me and said it was specifically my fault that women feel they need to look like that. I took it to mean that she was blaming men in general so I changed the story a bit. Also, it has in fact happened to me more than once. No idea why women blame me for all of men's faults, maybe I should stop hanging around women. But they're so pretty!
