that on the cover of a guys magazine, ie maxim, you will see pictures of scantily clad women. and on the cover of a girls magazine, ie cosmo, you will see pictures of scantily clad women. not that im complaining.......
It should be the other way around, Women should be king and men should be crap! I have heard that it has been proving that women would rather look at a beatiful women than a hunky man. I think we put to much into looks anyway!
Because sex sells.. wow thats a original thought i hear you cry.. but thats the reason anyway. There are a fair few magazines with blokes on the covers for the same reason..but yeah more women than men i notice ?.. mmm maybe because i don't look for blokes on the cover , not being that way inclined.
ON womens magazines, they are saying, "This is how you should look" On mens magazines, they are saying, "This is what you want to look at." Its funny to think that its all to please men.
So that regular women can suffer over their looks and compare themselves to girls on the magazine. Not that I do because I just don't give a fuck anymore. Actually, they do it because they know that it will sell. Women will buy the magazine to find out how they can torture themselves into looking like the cover girl, and men are just pigs.
Close: What they're actually saying is; to women: this is what you'll never look like to men: This is what you'll never have. Nobody's being picked on, they want us all to feel like shit, so we'll buy stuff to make us feel better.
You said it alot better than I did. To antithesis: Hey thanks. NOt too many people do nowadays. Its all rap or classic rock
Yeah, I used to never listen to things like Iron Maiden, but my boyfriend forced me to listen to it so much that before I knew what happened I found myself liking it Metal is definitely better than Rap!
Why? Because the media tells people that men and women should like half-naked women and men and women should think that half naked men are goofy and funny, I remember in middle school, how people would bring those magazines to school and you would read them, and they would talk about how you should admire certain women because they are so beautiful and how you should really, really, really, try to get a boyfriend but that you should be grossed out about everything he does and everything about him, at the same time, do everything you can to make him stay with you... sad and sillyness.
