[rquote=2556978&tid=145740&author=Tom][rquote=2556966&tid=145740&author=Enid]Healthy "looking" models should represent the average woman. Most of us are not skinny. Most of us have *ahem* extra baggage. Why should we have to stare at these boney bodies when most women don't actually look like that! We might as well have some robotic mannequins.[/rquote]

Then you can apply the same to males. Most men don't have bodies like CK models or whatever, so why should those men have to look at them models?

Its just all about advertising. You're more likely to buy something advertised by a good looking skinny model than an ugly fat model because subconsciously you want to be like her. Again same applies to men. [/rquote]
Yes of course. Didn't say it doesn't apply to men as well.

But I'm not saying supermodels should be replaced by big ugly slobs. I'm saying the wo(men) should be of a more realistic size. The clothing they wear are also designed for wo(men) of that particular frame, and that is perhaps 5% of the population? (don't correct me on that, just trying to get my point across XD)
