...and who to be attracted to. My self-image is in negative numbers anyway, why push this?

So, after many decades of irrational, immature and, lets be honest, dangerous tosh, targetted specifically at making women dislike their appearance and in some cases literally "get thin or die trying" I saw the first non-hair-dye one aimed at men.

The gist of it was "you think they're laughter lines, she thinks they're the old craggy wrinkles of some old geezer she'll never sleep with..."

Ok, lets pass on the fact the guy in the ad is the typical slimy yuppie after his barbie-bimbo secreatary.

Where the hell do they get off telling people how they MUST look?!

I've made my feelings more than well known on the supermodel-or-slapper theology we're pushing on our youngsters but it's more than that, we seem to be trying our darndest to be teaching the younger generation what they should find attractive, maybe even what they HAVE to find attractive

I have this horrible image of a Barbie and Ken world in the future because only the prettiest ones are allowed to breed or we just alter our children, genetically or physically.

I can't speak for blokes to be honest but the only time I think a woman is ugly is when she has an ugly personality.

I know there's ladies on here who have no/low self confidence when it comes to their attractiveness but I find them far more attractive than a gold-digging Colleen, an arrogant stick-thin Posh, a plastic Jordan or any of those "ladies" on shows like BB who are defined as the Bad Cowgirl Brigade (Can't keep their calves together...)

I fear we'll never get a perfect society when this fashion mag and make up ad rubbish doesn't exist.
