The stupidity some men portray when trying to tell apart false beauty and real beauty is the reason so many women exploit it.

I'll give you an example.

I know a girl who really abused fake tan. It wasn't the orange colour of snooki, but it was obviously fake tan.

She said something about fake tan one day at work and a guy pipes up "Don't use fake tan, you'll go orange" - little did he know she never leaves the house without it anyway.

Some men seem to think women get out of bed with a full face of make up, fake tan and done hair. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

you missed what i said completely....

the pics you posted were photoshopped to give her a bigger butt and narrower waist. also she had a boob job. so the figure you like best does not exist on that particular female. i am sure someone out there may have a figure like that, but she doesn't.

i don't think people realise how much the media can manipulate our preferences and expectations.


She had a miscarriage and surgery, of course, she's going to look different. Here's a candid photo of her several years ago.

Here's a photo of Lee Priest in off season and a photo of him in competitive season, of course the body and waist size can change rapidly depending on diet and lifestyle.

i found many, many other pictures of her with the same figure - those 2 were just the most illustrative. the pictures i posted were prior to her miscarriage, so that event would not have had an effect.

here is another shot from the same series you just posted (it may be candid). from this angle you can see her normal sized waist and lack of rear end:

not sure why you have a problem with her looking normal. she is still very attractive, just less supernatural.

A video of her from 2 years ago in South Africa where the model shots were taken.

i edited the post above as it looks like the pic may be candid.

it's good you posted those videos because it's even clearer that her actual figure is not really like the first pic you posted.

I agree, they have definitely photo shopped her bum look perkier in the modelling shots, her waist size looked smaller a couple of years ago, however I think she is a natural beauty and she does look good in candid photos.

i typically am attracted to girls that are shorter than me, or around my height (im 5'6).

and i really really like to cuddle so if we are cuddling and they squish me it likely wont work out. when i can wrap my arms around my girl with extra room afterwards cuddling is a lot more enjoyable for me.

i prefer curvier women over skinnier women, but my weight range in dating is very broad. as long as they are not very obese or gaunt, i'm not strict on that.

it's the person that matters (and people of all weights can be attractive)

*Same thing* can be said about many girls, hale_bopp when it comes to the muscular and six-packed guys that most of your gender drool over.

Most young girls think that most of those guys are sporty, athletic and *healthy* (LOOOL). When I got involved in the gym stuff I've starting to discover how wrong they are.

Their "athleticism" and their "healthiness" are all about consuming crazy amounts of concentrated animal proteins. The bulkier ones (originally "fat") tend to consume fat-burner crappy stuff + concentrated proteins while the slender types (those with fast metabolism and were originally 'thin') follow unhealthy crazy diets (=crazy amount of protein-rich food).

Like 70% of the "Strong" guys I know in the gym have gallbladder-issues, gallstones and/or other food-related health issues, I witness those guys often have females fans (very obvious fan-behaviors), probably that's why a lot of guys keep following this slow-suicidal behavior.


The male-fitness world is a messed one.

You're missing the point, boo.
At least the muscles are actually naturally part of the guy. Fake tans aren't. Hair extensions aren't. A full face of make up isn't.

Men with muscles aren't "fooling" anyone, because the muscles are a part of their body. He doesn't go to bed and take off his muscles.

That pic of Kelly Brook up there in a pink bikini has a fake tan and a full face of makeup. Many men are simply too stupid to pick it.

(I'm not saying she isn't attractive, I'm sure she is under all the paint but the fact is it's not natural)

Your point was mutually exclusive to mine. I don't even know why you quoted me with it.

And I don't see how a guy building muscle is any faker than a woman losing weight. Just saying.

Everyone knows that your body shape in general shouldn't be a reflection of health. The number of times I've seen guys on here saying that small-average sized women are healthy, for instance. For all they know they could have starved themselves to get that size.

It was a parallel comparison, not some sort of competition.

It wasn't really a comparison as it's not even addressing the same thing.

I am talking to women who wash off their "hotness" at night, you're talking about men who follow weird diets to build the bodies they want.

A comparison would be a man who stuffs his swimming trunks at a beach.

hahaha i was trying so hard not to say anything. i didn't notice the size of her head, but i DID notice the photoshopped waistline (hint: look at the uneven horizon line and the broken waves behind her). sorry Wolfheart, her figure doesn't exist (at least, not on her).

Hate to burst the heart-warming morality lesson but I think that's beach sand behind her waist.

I think the point being made is that unrealistic expectations are unfair because they are based on unrealistic photos and they are unfair to people with genes that aren't conventionally desirable to the media or give the wrong impression to the younger generation, attraction in itself is subjective and based on preference. However the media will dictate what is conventionally attractive and most of the time, that is shown in an unrealistic airbrushed and edited photograph or presentation.

Of course, if someone doesn't have great skin or a desirable body naturally, I don't think there is anything wrong with make up or enhancing their features if it gives them confidence, however I don't think people should feel socially pressurized to be a certain way or fit a conventional standard of beauty. People will inject themselves and go to all sorts of extremes to look aesthetically desirable because the media determines it, they aren't concerned about how it will affect them later in life, they want it now because of conventional society, that's why there are so many adverts on how to look younger ten years younger in one week or the six minute six pack abs workout, we live in a quick fix society that is only concerned with the now.
