I dunno, there isn't as much pressure on guys but it's still there.

You'll find plenty of guys who'll beat themselves up over the fact they don't look like this;

i really hope that the majority of the population don't base their relationships purely on looks, but when it comes to a 'beauty pageant' you will always view it with certain expectations when it comes to the way the women are going to look.

I really think you need to have a look at the thread I'm commenting its progressed from a debate purely about Miss England and become a wider discussion.

The idea of the concept of the pickiness of internet geeks refusing to breed with anything other than glamor models causing a catastrophe of global proportions is my (obviously failed) attempt at sarcasm.

As I already said to a few of the girls, it's just as well I don't go to OcUK meets anymore, it appears there would be wall to wall barfing!

I found the thread offensive, not because people found her unattractive but for their attitude. Also for peoples distorted idea about what is 'normal'. People calling her a 'creature' and the like, completely uncalled for. There was a lot of that over the top childishness that really winds me up too, saying they were nearly sick looking at the picture. Total fake over reaction, similar to little children when they won't try something new. Either that or they have some serious issues of their own. I have never seen anyone so unattractive they made me feel sick. Then again this is on a forum where people like Nicole Kidman are called mingers (you may not personally be attracted to her but it would be sensible to say most people would at least rate her as an moderately attractive person at least).

True, there is no where near as much pressure on guys, I know very few girls that would insult a guy on the way they look. Yes woman like to look at guys like him, but we don't all want blokes to look like them.

I understand what you mean though, but there is so much more pressure on woman, I hardly ever see pictures of men being critizied in magazines or forums because they don't fit in with a certain look/size/perfection.

There is some pressure on guys, its become worse of late with more and more clones of Men's Health on the shelves but it isn't close to being as bad.

What do you think of my idea of women perpetuating the issue through buying magazine which carry articles criticizing the way other women look and offering 'solutions' Tink. I think the media has a lot to answer for both in conditioning men but also (and much more so, I believe) in conditioning women to believe they must conform and damaging their self confidence when they don't?
