now i admit i dont get it either but its fun to watch and why do the men keep coming in here commenting on the models looks omg fasshion industry does not exist for the owmen to look for menRaven said:
even if the girls were at a healthy weighy
some of the guys responding seem to think the world revolves around what heterosexual men find attractive as a woman im glad everything doesnt pander to straight men
its get tiring seeing the fan service giving to men everywhere in commercials,books,video games etc
thats trueLiquidacid23 said:
except concept cars dont really draw the same contempt models do i think msot of it comes from being told said model is attractive or and over again.
on the other hand i think most male models are very gorgeous and they do look like guys i see on the street but with better bodies, bone structure and a confidence that msot men seem to lack
i remember going to a fashion show and all the boys had six packs the ladies were in there dying so many sexy men lmaooo too bad the fashion industry doesnt pander to the almight straight male lmaooo
MEH.
I really don't care one way or the other. I mean... they're pretty, I guess. The male models tend to be sexable to the eyes and I'll probably do some eye sexing when I see one. But... that's it. I suppose I probably think it's impressive you are a model especially when I watch reality shows like "America's Next Top Model" and see why people don't make it as a model.
But yeah... nothing special.

They lack superpowers. And are very likely to have psychological problems, eating disorders, and drug addictions. If that's what it takes to be super, I'm so happy to be lame.
Hmm, not sure if profit making or circle jerking...Liquidacid23 said:
The shows are pretty cool, and despite popular opinion, cat-walking to supermodel standards ain't no walk in the park.Onjenae said:
Well, you asked what does everyone think of models. I have to admit, I'm having difficulty understanding what you are saying because of the way you are writing...
Are you wondering why people in this thread view models as unhealthy and accusing the industry of forcing them to look a certain way to offer what the industry thinks is pleasing to men? (an interesting debate)
Or are you wondering why people are commenting about the models appearances as women instead of as a fashion models? (As in "that model is freaky, would not bang"?)
If it's that last one, it's not sexism it's just human nature. When women read fashion magazines they look at the clothes. Men ignore the clothes and focus on the women, because most men have no interest in clothes... Well, that's what me and a female friend agreed on.
Again, asking people what they think of models is a double question since models are both women and clothes hangers... On a site predominately populated by males who by definition, usually don't care for fashion. Which by the way, has nothing to do with being a nerd or whatever it is you assume they are. It's not surprising no-one is stepping forward with an opinion about fashion itself.
And there is a negative stereotype surrounding models. Skinny, dumb, blah blah...
It's tiring for men who don't objectify women too... But hey ho, sex sells right?Onjenae said:

sorry about that i went back and edited my post lol im typing on my phone and having trouble with this touch screen lolRaven said:
well men not carting for fashion depends on where you are in europe i notice the men tend to be more well put together,clean cut and overall the put more thoguht into their apperance than american males
in america when a man is clean cut and dresses nice you guys label him gay lol i dont understand that i love a well dressed man
btw yes i was wondering why the men kept talking about the model's apperance i can see if we were talking about playboy models,fhm models,video vixens,porn stars or even swimsuit models but im not i am talking about runway models so there apperance really doesnt matter
i already know a good portion of me n would bang the other set of models lol they already spend large amounts of time jacking off to their pictures
That's okay, I struggle to do the same on mine.Onjenae said:
I'm in the UK by the way, to give context. When I say men don't care about fashion, I meant men don't care about female fashion. Ladies didn't model men's clothes last I checked
Obviously we were flicking through the ladies section of a fashion magazine. I don't even have a vested interest in fashion so I couldn't tell you why. Oh wait, yeah I was looking at the women...Men (can't say the same for boys), in the UK generally care what they look like and will often dress pretty respectably. I was in Florida last month and went out to a (really) nice bar wearing boots, smart jeans, shirt and a jacket. The local guy I went to the bar with wore the same polo shirt, baggy jeans and trainers he was wearing all day. So too were his mates and many of the other young men in the bar. I was quite surprised at that because this was a pretty exclusive bar in down-town Tampa, needed a password to get in, private booths, great cocktails, personal bartender, everything. So yeah, I can totally see where you're coming from on the young american males making little effort front.
Again, all I can really say is that men will always judge women on their appearance regardless of context. It's just what we do. Coming to this site of all places looking for meaningful discussion was never likely to be all that fruitful to be honest.
The male model I posted earlier is Mark Vanderloo, he's a pretty prolific model and quite a handsome chap I must say, even if he's getting on a bit...
*Dramatic music cue!!!!* (Otherwise known as na-na-naaaaahhh) I do believe you are onto something. Bony masculine features, expression less faces, rail thin with almost non existent breasts, tall with long muscular legs....hulksmashley said:
I don't consider myself a "nerd" that "thinks differently" than the rest of the public, but I do consider you saying so an insult, whether you intend it to be one or not. As for talent, I don't think it's as subjective as you might think. Talent is defined as a "special" ability, aptitude, of faculty above the average ability. If a person meets this qualification then their talented, if not then their not talented. Subjectivity may be applied to how amazing, cool, stupid, useful, useless, or whatever a talent may or may not be, but that's it. So as far as modeling goes you could say something like, I want to be a model, because I don't have the talent or intelligence to do anything else, but you would never say I want to be a model because I am so talented.Onjenae said:again that is not true but like i said your a nerd and i do not mean that as an insult. nerds usually think different than most of the generally populationTheVioletBandit said:
the word talent is subjective in itself because honestly theres alot of things people do in this world that really requires not much talent and generally you would only considered it talented if you was interested or liked that particular type of work
They TERRIFY me.
Goddammit, have they never heard of "protein" or "plant fats" or, in many cases, "eating"?
In terms of what they do, I don't think badly of them. They don't do much onstage, but photoshoots are a hassle, as is the scheduling and process of staying in "desirable" shape.

It's interesting how you see men talking about the appearance of models as annoy when just the other day you where going on about nerds being "ugly as hell" and thought that was perfectly acceptable.Onjenae said:
I'm not sure if anyone else has called you out on this, but this seems unnecessarily derogatory considering the validity of the point made.Onjenae said:
OT: A bizarre lifestyle choice, and not one I'd wish on anyone. Your job is to be judged on every aspect of your appearance, before being dressed up and paraded in front of the media. However, I don't understand any aspect of so-called 'high fashion', such as why none of the clothes are even remotely close to something anyone would wear, even for something like a red carpet event.
Except this is completely incorrect. Great models aren't considered great because they look skinnier, prettier or wear clothes better. Think of fashion photography, the task for a model to evoke feeling from a static image is a talent. It takes hard work to achieve and even then there are thousands of girls who don't make the cut. The model has to work with the photographer, respond to his/her cues to produce the result. If you think it is all the photographers skill you would be wrong.TheVioletBandit said:
The same with runway modelling. It takes the same feats of self discipline, grace and rhythm required by ballet dancers, gymnasts and figure skaters. The only difference is pace...
Thank-you!! I was reading through this thread getting super angry at all the people shaming models for being skinny and pretty. Sure eating disorders are never good, but not all models are anorexic. But anyways, most of them DO have decent personalities and some amount of intelligence.Spot1990 said:
Let's look at how the fashion industry works: designers/creative directors for magazines or what have you are the ones that hire models. And no one wants to work with a personality-less *****. They are more likely to hire someone who is pleasant and interesting! Models are usually very polite, charming, and usually very knowledgeable about the history of fashion, know multiple languages, and are in general fairly intelligent. Of course there are exceptions (ever watch America's next top model?? some girls on that show make me want to punch them repeatedly)
Also, there is nothing wrong with being thin. ALL BODIES ARE GOOD BODIES. Anorexia and bulimia suck, and the people with those disorders are suffering so let's not shame them and act like they can simply stop being anorexic/bulimic whenever they want.
Not much to say here, most of them look like they're victims of concentration camps or have radiation poisoning. But I guess since they're not "fat" and have nice hair they're "hot".
I miss real women.
