I don't know...maybe because thin women are rumored to be nice to look at but not enough cushion for the pushin'?

It's true though; men overall do like some curves.

It's because the men who cast models are all gay. They are not attracted sexually to women at all. So they choose women whose bodies most resemble those people gay men are attracted to - men in their twenties. This is why models frequently have no boobs and hips and are majorly skinny. Because this is a gay man figure, and that is what gay men like.

The demand to be an ultra thin woman is therefore supply driven, not demand driven. (Instead of hetero men and women demanding a curvy woman, it's advertising and magazine supply creating a desire.)

If you look at lad's magazines, the models are all much bigger and curvier. Hope this clears things up for you

The fashion model industry has nothing to do with what men prefer. It's completely divorced from that. The models are simply live mannequins for displaying clothes to buyers and designers. That's all. They're walking coat hangers.

Too many women have made the mistake of taking that as their standard, rather than taking what men prefer as their standard. What most men prefer is generally healthier.

Is it women who don't like curves and prefer to look at or to be thin instead?

Even some of the Victoria's Secret models are not voluptuous by any means and when not wearing high-heels and push-up bras are more slim than curvy.

Victoria's Secret model Candice Swanepoel:




Top fashion model Karlie Kloss:




What do you think?

Their selling a product, not the model...

They see women as a means to display the clothing they design. A flat, lean body is the best way to display clothing, with no curves and bulges getting in the way.
Agree with the principle in the modelling sense. It's about the clothes, often focusing on the length and presentation.

I would still choose to bring my camera to a Lane Bryant lingerie show rather than a Victoria's Secret lingerie show but that's just me.

Um, because modeling isn't about attraction.

People who don't know things about fashion should just sit and not talk.

lol

If you typed "skinny girl" into a porno search engine, I'm sure you'll find something. People have different tastes.
