i think they are beautiful images, and i love looking at fashion magazines, but i know i dont look like that, nor will i.....

No problem. I try to be as clear as I can.

Occasionally I have to backtrack a bit. :-)

thanks but its true to i dont think looking like a skeleton is sexy!i might nit be skinny but im comfortable not looking like a coked out whore

But you are old enough to have realized that it's, for the most part, unattainable.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of young women and men out there ( more girls than guys ) that are killing themselves to try to reach an unattainable image.

DITTO

Christie Brinkly was on the cover a a magazine recently, and the tag line was "This is the face of 53"

I explained to my daughters that it is the face of a woman who has expert make up artists, professional photographers, special lighting, possibly airbrushing, and that it is not a real face at all. And not to be fooled by it.

Now Christie may be blessed with great genes, and never smoked, takes real good care of her self, but she doesn't look like that when she gets up in the morning.

If I dig the guy then he does look like that in my mind...

no doubt that the guy in the picture you posted is a handsome-looking dude.

however, he doesn't come close to looking as great as my boyfriend and i wouldn't bat an eyelash if he showed up in my life professing his interest.

it's not just a washboard stomach (which i don't much care for anyway) that makes a guy attractive.

it's the one who'll get up when not feeling good himself and rush out to get you a hot chocolate and aspirin when you're not well, and do all those unexpected and unnecessary things, not because he expects something in return, but just because he wants to.

i wouldn't kick that woman out of my bed





just saying......

you might if she were a b!tch, or a nut-bar.


all i'm saying is that beauty, true beauty, consists of both the physical and the spiritual/emotional. without either one, the person isn't attactive (at least to me)

i've known plenty of b*tches in my life.i'm immune to their b*tchieness



besides every woman is a b*tch at least once a month....

I don't even seen the point in worrying about those who fantasize about these kind of people. If they do, so what?

heyyyyy!!!!!

i resemble that remark!

I have a couple of Cowboy pics. on my profile.
I enjoy using them,as my main pic, sometimes too.
Why not..They look "Hot".
This does not mean,that is what, I would expect, my "S.O" to look like.
Fantasy and Role playing...imagination...can be fun..
It's all good, as long as you, keep it in perspective.
I could be wrong..JMO...considering,I have High Maintenance Fetishes..lolol...

I think my use of the word " fantasy " may have been the wrong one to use.

But I don't think so.

What I meant was that more and more young people see those images as what should be reality, even though they are complete fantasy due to the work that has been done on those pictures by the photographers.

Okay, the pic of the guy you posted, didn't even make me look longer than a second, did nothing for me. As to why all the guys will drool over the chick, someone said recently "men are pigs".

Oh geeze.

Am I going to have to go around the web finding different pictures of " hot " guys so that all the bases are covered as far as what women like??

Come on.

Regardless of whether that particular picture " turns you on " or not, the point remains the same.

Unfortunately, it seems to be getting lost in all the " That pic does nothing for me " stuff.

No, I don't think it's getting lost. I just didn't think the guy was attractive, at least not to me. Give me a normal looking guy any day as compared to that guy.

I agree.
