I agree. He's over the top to me.

The fashion industry may cater to smaller gals but men cater to boobies -- even those who say otherwise. They may not cater to nonsense or outlandishness but stereotypes (on BOTH sides of that gender divide), while inaccurate in their sweeping generalization, don't come from nothing.

I, for one, find breast implants to be not only so very obvious, but absolutely a turn off. It's like going into a jewelry store, looking at all the beautiful diamonds and gold, only to come home and find out what you got is cubic zirconia and fools gold. Or looking at all those commercials on TV about Applebees or TGI Fridays or anywhere else, and what you get is like...is this the same thing I saw on the TV? We say tattoos on a woman is like graffitti on the Mona Lisa, but implants... I'll pass on that, thank you very much!
I love how you categorize all men into one category except yourself.

Yes, I've noticed. Which proves the stereotype of who is running the fashion industry. ()

Can anyone point out anything about either one that is real and natural? Cosmetic surgeons are only in it for one reason. They would just as soon attach bigger breasts from dead women onto women if it would make money for them. Sounds sick, but not as sick as implants are and look if one really looks at them without drooling over themselves. But, men having manicures and using hairspray....even gel?!? Yikes. Steroids...is THAT a real man? Its basically a form of cheating oneself into being someone/thing they are not meant to be. Keep kicking the sand in my face on the beach, tough guy. Soon you'll be looking more wimpy and brittle than me, and we'll see who is laughing in the end!

Has it occurred to you that not everyone is beautiful and some people would like to be, inasmuch as their personal standard OR their notion of what the opposite sex prefers, thus compels them in their clumsy quest for companionship?

I'm sure there's a woman out there who looks like she makes her living allowing Mack trucks to test their bumpers and fenders on her face and she's absolutely pining for a swell, majorly enlightened dude like you to come along and just sweep her off her feet because you can see the real beauty.

But I'm also betting you wouldn't date her if a prettier gal came along, no matter how much personality and true beauty Mack-gal possessed. I may only surmise that; after all you're terribly noble. But I'd still be willing to lay money on it. Then again I'm just a mean, ol' Sasquatch who's shed his idealism and vision for a grander, kinder, gentler world. I prefer my gals natural and don't understand the modern fetish for shaving everything, but to each his/her own I guess.

I often don't wear make up or jewelry. I wear simple clothes. I have a very girl next door look. I also have implants. I take care of my body through a lot of exercise and eating healthy food. I have been either pregnant or breastfeeding for 8 years. Why should I not have boobs to match the rest of me, if that is what I choose? I absolutely had the surgery for myself, but my husband enjoys them the most. They are not at all hard either.

Um, not looks, per se. That last part didn't come out right.
But what defines fake?? Having armpits hair is certainly what nature had created for us. Some may argue that shaving legs is fake since this is not how we were designed.

I don't wear any foundation, but I wear mascara, is this fake? Is this natural?

Where do you draw the line?

Bottom line is it's all in preferences. If a man likes a blonde bimbo with fake F cups boobs, bleached hair, blonde extensions, lips implants...so what?

Because men are visual. The whys and wherefores don't really matter. /lol

But there is a HUGE difference between those they want to marry and those they want to oomph.

My DH had a huge thing (no pun intended) for the Pam Anderson's and the Jenna Jamesons. BUT that was sexual, when put to the test (aka VH1s Top 100 Hundred Hotties or sumthin'), he went for the Ashley Judd's (more in tune with me). We would play who would you "do" and who would you want a relationship with?

There is absolutely no point in questioning others attraction. I get equal, though different types when I'm made up "sexy" or girl next door.

Though those that fall into my good graces like me for both.

What is better - a woman who is "real", no make up or surgeries, looks ugly from morning to night - or - a "fake" woman who is pretty, has nice standing boobs, no wrinkles, full lips, but maybe looks not so great early in the morning?

I see what you're saying, but I have to say, I have NEVER seen a woman with pumped up lips that I thought looked good and not scary.
