I would also consider it an unrealistic standard. I don't know if they are natural, but even if they are... most women won't have the genes needed to reach that standard without surgery. It's like comparing men to Lebron James. Even if we dedicated our lives to it, most of us will never be able to jump (off the floor) and get our head above a ten foot.

However, for the women here, if you want to attract men, Kate Upton would be a vastly better goal to work towards than the models linked in the first photo. If you can reach 85% of her attractiveness, men will be fawning over you to the point where it disrupts your day. There may be some men that prefer bone thin without breasts or buns, but that isn't most men.

Also, to JJ, you're WNBA tall. A woman at 6'1 is 9 inches above the median and multiple standard deviations from the norm. Thank you for not appearing to take any offense, as weight varies with height, and women who are 6'0 and taller are extremely rare.


After seeing several posts about clothing models being walking hangers, I have to ask who wants to see an outfit on a walking hanger? They could just put it on a coat rack, add some wheels or track beneath the stage and send it out there.

To the guy I accidentally insulted earlier, and who had an excellent response. If I were dating a woman, I'd want her physical differences from a young boy to extend far beyond "this person has a vagina". It shouldn't be a guessing game. Most of us (I think) wouldn't want to go on a date saying, "There is a 95% chance that this person I'm dating is not a young boy". I honestly think if we took that photo, and edited it to just have the top of her body, dropped the bikini, and put a boys head on her neck, we could pass the photo off as a twelve year old at the beach and most people would have to look two or three times to realize we had faked it. I mean no disrespect to those women, and I mean no disrespect to those that, like me, have some extra weight. I think the vast majority of men, given a side by side comparison, would take a woman who looks like Kate Upton.

In my personal opinion, the least endowed celebrity I've seen that I thought was a 10/10, is Kristen Bell. She has a beautiful face, incredible personality, and carries herself very well.
Hmmmm....if I showed Kate Upton to some guys I know,they would say she is not curvy,and she has no hips.
The above is right.
I still believe the first phote in the OP,Candice,is more curvy than Kate Upton.

Kate Upton = Not Curvy in my book. She is busty. That's it. That doesn't mean she is unattractive. I think she is really cute. For a portion of women, she is an attainable body ideal. For those of us who have hips or a more defined waist, not so much.

Most models are thin and emaciated because most clothing is designed by gay men.

The poster above me thinks women should aspire to have Kate Upton's body,rather then the supermodels.

Both of those body types are unnatainable for the majority of women.
If someone doesn't have large breasts,how is that attainable? I would venture to say the supermodels bodies are actually more attainable. All I have to do cut my calories and do lots of cardio.

Lastly,Kate is thin. She still is skinny,so all the men on here saying they don't like the skinny supermodel bodies,well,I don't believe them.

This is a never ending subject. It's never going to end, because everyone's bodies are different. And speaking on bodies, is this all we care about? No wonder we have a bunch of butter faces running around here thinking they're the business. They got nice racks and booty cheeks, so they're 10s. Oh, she's tall and thin, so modelesque! Do we completley avoid faces? Screw bodies (no pun inteneded). Curvy, fat, thick, thin, emaciated. F*ck it, YOUR FACE!! I can get boob job, butt injections, and some ribs removed (to make the waist smaller, to have that WTHR)

I don't know why chicks get insecure about guys finding VSA (Victoria Secret Angels) attractive. Think realisticaly, he's NEVER gonna get a chance to be with any of them. Just let him have his hopes and dreams, because even he knows it won't happen.
Besides, only a very (and I mean very) small percent actually look like that. They're usually "small town beauties".

I don't know why curvy/fat chicks complain when they know damn well there are fat fetished/chubby chasers out their willing to boink those luscious rolls. Go find 'em and date 'em.

Oh, and models usually have pretty faces. It's not just about being skinny... you also have to have fab genetics, or a great plastic surgeon (like moi)

Seriously, Jersey. Believe us. None of us wants a girl who looks emaciated and has an expression on her face like you just handed her a dead fish. Give us a woman who does not fear the soft pretzels and cheese steaks on the boardwalk!!!

Most models don't look emaciated, just thin, and their expression on the runway is what the designers want. If the designers wanted them to walk down looking happy and friendly (which sometimes they do), then they would.
