Ladies, since most men prefer "real" women to runway models how can we, as men, do a better job convincing your gender of that truth?

I am a guy, obviously, though I believe I can answer this any way. We need to be less superficial and more forgiving with any flaws women have, asssuming some of them might have a few bodily imperfections. After all, it is only right to be less superficial, for the chances of a lady landing a male model are about as good as a regular joe finding the next heidi klum/tyra banks.

My husband does a really good job of this. We'll be channel-surfing and he'll say something like "Now, you see her? That Daisy Fuentes... she's SO much prettier than 90% of the other women in Hollywood. She's got broad shoulders and big hips... she's REAL." And then a few channels later. "Is that Jessica Alba? Someone give that girl a SANDWICH!"

I've spent a huge part of my life trying to solve this puzzle...and the only conclusion I found with most is Vanity plays the most part in it! It seems it is not a partner's approval that is sought as much as it is positive public perception that is most sought. Sad ,because like a lot of things,people often don't realise what they have 'til it's gone..including a loving partner. We should accept ourselves and others as we or they are...not how we think the "look" should be.Even models age and lose looks etc. Odd thing is..if a male copies that type of behaviour,they are ridiculed and called vain etc....yet apparently it's a woman's right to hold this opinion of themselves and to judge others on looks and dress. Go figure!!!

I guess a great start would be to stop drooling over them. ;-) Hahaha.

Wait...you do? Just kidding. Make comments on how they aren't very attractive and the usual gain some weight jokes would be a way.

:( So don't thin women get to be classified as *real* women ?

Dont sleep with any supermodels or at least dont get caught!

"Sandwich" jokes, besides being kind of cruel towards real, naturally skinny women, just focus more attention on female appearance. Whether you're ridiculing someone for being fat, or for being skinny, you're still ridiculing them for not fitting your standard of beauty. Besides being shallow, that just increases women's anxiety. What happens if your partner gains or loses too much, or gets some wrinkles, or otherwise stops looking like that "real" woman you lust after? Will you stop loving her? Instead of criticizing others who don't fit your standard of beauty, just (honestly) remind the woman you love that you think she is beautiful. And also remind her of the non-physical things you love about her. And be a little subtle about lusting after movie stars. The less we, as a society, focus on women's outsides, the more comfortable women can feel in their own skins (well-padded or not).

We could start by changing the porn we watch?? maybe?

As a "real" woman, I have encountered men that say they love bigger women (or not waif thin women), but won't introduce them to their friends or want to be seen with them. Some also think that bigger women are somehow desperate for any attention. That's not true at all. One way of letting "real" women know you are truly interested in them is being honest, real, loving...no matter who is watching. Let her know you are proud of being seen with her and that you find her desirable.
