So have you ever thought that maybe your ideals of what is attractive is really not your ideals, for example, i grew up moving around alot being exposed to different cultures, religious beliefs, and families. I hardly watched t.v. As an adult I have alot of guys that are friends and sometimes we talk about you ladies, whats attractive, whats not etc. My friends mostly talk about the skinny, model type as being attractive etc, where im usually one of the lone guys that says i llke bbw ladies or, and nerd girls.I also like a few model type girls but mostly its ladies with more to love that i find attractive. I once asked my friends why they thought that models where more attractive or why they were attracted to the model type mostly and most of my friends just shrugged.

So do u think t.v. magazines, peer pressure etc influences what you find attractive, even on an unconscious level? And how does it influence u?

It caused a bit of confusion for me during my teen years; but around the time I was 18 I admitted to myself that the Hollywood skinny look was not my ideal.

Men are biologically programmed to be attracted to young fettle females with a good hip to waist ratio, and symmetrical face. You can't control evolution. If you want proof for this, try parading around Kate Upton alongside with the average fat feminist in the Middle East. Which one gets more attention there? The Middle East is not brainwashed at all by media images of females, yet they have similar tastes in what is attractive. Do you think a 250 lbs female is going to get more attention historically in times without magazines? What percent of societies in history do you think will choose the 250 lbs woman?

I think the renaissance and early u.s history thought that women with fulfigures or bbw where attractive and more desired, so what does that say?

That's a myth. Plus those women weren't fat like the average disgusting American today who guzzles down junk food and soda daily, then complains they are fat due to genetics, the same genetics that had previous generations with half the obesity rate.

No, I never saw anyone so beautiful as my wife in any ad or in real life, from the day I first met her.
