You're kidding right?
You seem to be hell bent on blaming porn on something here really. Do you have any concrete evidence to back up your claim. It seems as if you are just making this up in your head without any proof to back up your reasoning. If some guys have these delusions of grandeur and think they deserve the hottest most attractive girls on the planet while they bring little to nothing to the table they have no one to blame but themselves.

Even more troubling is that you seem to think that the only women who participate in porn are those who have 36-24-36 measurements,(the hottest chicks) you couldn't be more wrong.

I wasn't saying that at all.

But when you train your imagination to go after only one type, you may be ending up screwing yourself, because the ideal person for you may not be a model.

And of course I know amateur porn exists. I've looked at that. I find it better than the fake, plastic commercialized porn.

I'm partial to a little porn myself but it amazes me that we've gone from top-shelf magazines and R-rated movies to widely available porn via internet. Kids can just log in to porn any old time and it seems to bypass that time period (previously), where young people learn that porn is not representative of actual sexual experience or mutual respect.

I know that girls and women are watching porn (that's a given), but it's irresponsible for online porn providers to offer access to porn with little more than: ARE YOU 18? IF NOT THEN DO NOT ENTER. As if they would say "no".

I find it interesting how body types have changed thru the porn industry thru the years. without being graphic, what was viewed in the 1950's on a body as attractive was different now. including amount of fat, or lack therof, hair, or lack thereof, athletic, or not, how much was able to be shown, weird how back in the 1950's you could not show one particular part of the body on a woman, but didn't Hustler start showing that one part, and now, haha if you look at some magazines, they kinda look like a National Geographic or some kind of biology book just displaying everything so blatantly its ridiculous.

Search any of the more popular porn sites and you will find that you can specify anything you want, such as Asian, Teen, redhead, but also ugly, fat, or skinny. Amateur or not, there are options to look at more normal looking women for those that prefer.

This is my problem now. I'm overweight, and women won't even give me a second look. When I was skinny, at least I got some attention.
You can change that. Focus dude! You're ready flapping. Well, fap harder. Beat that thing like it owes you money. Keep at it, you'll lose weight.

And it's been touched on, but it seems many think porn = professional actresses/actors. Not anymore. There's a veritable buffet of preferences from which one can choose. Like solo amateurs? Asians, Couples, amateur couples, old, college coeds, redheads, no-name girl next door, and on and on.. Professional porn is such a tiny little slice of what is popular anymore. Expand your horizons!

No i get what they are saying - they have a good point.

You still have no proof to back up this assertion. Most men approach and like looking at attractive women, if anything this is why porn came to exist in the first place. You seem to think it is the other way around. That porn is the reason men obsess over gorgeous women.

The irony in this is that with everyone complaining about the now easy accessibility of porn, society and most men have slowly begun to see that women of all shapes and sizes are beautiful in their own right. It's not perfect but it's a lot better than it was 50-60 years ago.

Average and ugly guys don't stand much of a chance of meeting "10s" unless they have some wealth.
Why go to a farm and roll in the mud with pigs when you can ride the choice stallion?

I admit I'm an pretty avid pornesseur since I was 12 years old or so. Back in those days I did get off on it but today I mostly watch it for the humor/entertainment factor. It can definitely desensitize you watch it often (like I used too)
