Here is one of the most beautiful women of the modern world, I prefer when she is not wearing some kind of waist cincher, and she got better looking as she got a little older. Picture date 1959.

I am not ashamed to say I prefer the bottom one.
I dunno, the top ones look almost unhealthily skinny. There's a thin line between just being slim and anorexic.
EDIT: But I will say that a few of the women in the bottom one do resemble water buffaloes. Yeah, I'd pick anyone of the women in the top picture over the water buffaloes.

Top, but mostly because I have a weakness for a pretty face. I prefer women with more curves & mass than the VS models, and less than the ones at bottom. More like a regular, healthy woman. The VS models may be healthy (though some of them may also have eating disorders and/or coke habits), and the ones at bottom may be healthy too; but they're both a bit far out on the ends of the bell curve for me.
The vaulters pictured were great. Christina Hendricks is a goddess.

I'm still trying to figure out how people are coming to the conclusion that the top picture is more photoshopped. I cannot see much cellulite on the women in the bottom picture and it should most definately be there.
Apart from the gir lto the left of the middle of the bottom pic, i'd have to say top. (l originally said middle, then counted back, and quickly had to edit after being ambushed by the blonde swamp donkey.- probably not really a swamp donkey, but it's my fave saying and i don't get to use it much...so i'm sticking with it!)
It is amusing that this campaign failed, all that positive press, all that positive image for the company and it did not increase sales. I now hold this ad campaign up as a rebuttal to women who say "men are responsible for bad body image, due to the media".

I like the girls in the top picture more, but whatever. You like what you like, and if other people's tastes differ then it's no biggie. Or at least it shouldn't be.
What I don't get is how it's become the worst possible thing in the world to say a girl looks fat, but if a girl is too skinny the whole world can abuse her.
I mean, either it's okay to criticise someone for their body shape or it isn't. Automatically Appended Next Post: mattyrm wrote: Ill tell you what else is annoying, the fething chicks on the facebook page throwing gak the way of the skinny chicks.
I'm sorry, but when did all this new age, hippy clap trap about "love yourself no matter what you look like" turn into "Love yourself if you are a big ugly fat fether but bully pretty girls"?
Yes, that's exactly what I was getting at. Automatically Appended Next Post: Jihadin wrote:I want to disagree but I kind of agree....just seems I've seen more skinny guys with "heavy" females than "heavy" males with "heavy" females
But at the same time I don't think I've ever seen a rich dude with a fat wife. Well, not a wife who was fat when he married her.
Guys and girls work kind of difference. If a guy is poor he will drop from a 7/10 to a 5/10. If a girl is hot it doesn't matter if she's sleeping in her car, guys will still chase her.
What I'm saying is I think the skinny guys and fat girls thing is explained that they end up on level terms, he's a 4/10 because he's poor, she's a 4/10 because she's overweight.

Like I said bottom definitely had retouching done, though it appears to be limited to blemish removal and skin tones. I can also tell you that there is no way way in hell a VS shoot gets published without being worked over, which can often include modification of body shape.

They're hitting on you, and you're saying you're not interested because you feel you can do better. However, if you really couldn't do any better, likely because you were real poor, or real ugly or something else like that, well then sooner or later you'd probably settle and accept you had to do some mountain climbing

Actually... she's gonna be heavier than them because muscle is heavier than fat.
Also, unlike them, she has boobs. And given that she's probably wearing a sports bra which is designed to constrict them and their movement, they're bigger than they appear in that image.
As for who she is, a pole vaulter of some kind. I've not been paying attention to the olympics.

I doubt it. I mean, he's the most famous gay man in the world. He probably has heaps to choose from. Just like a famous straight man (i dunno, lets say Gosling) probably doesn't have to go hire hookers for a good time, that dude probably didn't need an electric friend, he could probably just pick and choose. I think that makes sense, anyway.

See THAT was misogynistic.
I don't really think misogyny is the correct word like, men are the stronger sex, and it IS more common for men to exercise vigorously, ergo its not really misogynistic to say that vigorous exercise is manly is it?
