Do men really like that body type? I find the skeletal look really frightening and would assume men would prefer a curvy gal instead. Honestly, I just don't get it.
While I was nursing my first baby my weight went down to 98 pounds. My girlfriends raved how good I looked and I thought that I looked pretty good too.
10 months later, when I quite nursing my weight quickly zoomed back up to 108, my normal weight. My friends stopped raving...but this is the interesting part...several of their husbands commented that I looked better now, that they thought that I was "a little too thin before".
I was surprised when they said that they actually prefered some curves on women...maybe not in highschool, but definitely after they turned 30.
So there you go...when I thought that I looked great, actually to the guys I probably looked more like a bag of bones!! LOL.
I was naturally thin like that in my youth, so I'd never make fun of someone based on weight. I just think it's odd that a big company like VS has a model like that. Do they also have plus size models? Bet not.
A while ago I read an article that said that Just My Size ( I think ) wanted to put out a commercial like VS . But the networks wouldn't run it because they thought that the models were to curvy , therefore to sexy . They were probable all of a size 12 . So if a regular size woman is to sexy what does that say about the super skinny models that they use for most everything else ? When I ask my husband or grown up son if they find those anorexic models attractive , they both say NO . And my husband adds why would you want to go to bed with something that is going to give you bone splinters !
I just realized that my Google sign out does not use the Bayou part of my moniker. So, I guess from now on, I will be just plain Jane. I know we now have a Janie. That's what my family calls me.
Back to the topic---all the men I've ever known (and not in the biblical sense)like curvy women. As I see it today, men still like curvy women but the have to be on the lean side. I think that is why all these "smaller=not anorexic" girls have boob and but implants. There is one thing I have noticed about the girls around here. They all look alike. They have the same build and either long blond hair or long brown hair. You really can't tell one from the other. Am I the only one that thinks that or is it just something going on down here in the swamps?
The one in the middle (candice) is usually very beautiful looking. The way she is standing doesnt help.. if you go stand in front of a mirror and lean forward like that youll see it makes your legs look a LOT thinner than they really are. Liz (from NZ)
Back in the day--super skinny was not considered attractive. Now it is worshipped. It may be a possibility that the middle girl is naturally very thin and just has to diet a little bit to get as thin as she is in the pic... so I'm not judging her. But it's just hard to believe that someone with a body like that is considered ideal enough to be an underwear model. I just don't think the sickly skinny look is pretty without clothes on.
Who decides that super thin is sexy? I am a guy and have never found the super thin looking ladies sexy. The guys I work with all like the curves and we are alking a male oriented workplace. Believe me Prison Guards are not worried about womens feelings. After 20 years with my wife I have found her to be sexy at whatever weight she is at. She worries about it more than me.

Janie
The one in the middle isn't real, is she? That's not a person, right?
Maybe Vickie doesn't like to take a chance on using models who are able to menstruate?
Actually Adriana Lima is the one on the left. Don't know the one on the right and the broomstick in the middle.
that's just fucking SICK!
The middle one scares me. Know I see why Eric uses them as Zombies when he draws his comic. AHHHHH.
Lima IS on the left. Sorry. I was too busy gawking at the middle.

I think tyra was the biggest ever model they ever had.

Ehhh, men tell you what you wanna hear. Sorry, but, I think most men will screw anything. LOL.
I'll second that motion.
Is the one in the middle a model for an anorexic poster. You can call me jealous but that is just plain ugly.
And that pose didn't help any!
The middle one - I have no words. Yuck.

Liz...if that is true, I will be spending the rest of my days bending over in front of a mirror!
OK, I tried it, I still look like a blimp! Any more suggestions? Other than stop eating. I'm going to have to learn how to photoshop my pictures.
