It has always been my belief that guys are very, very fussy about girl's bodies, & like them to be 'perfect', whatever that means. I think that this is due to increasing explicit sexualisation of our media, & the way in which we see a lot more flesh than we used to. Supermodels & actresses are getting thinner, & there is a lot more pressure to have an abnormally thin, toned figure these days. For example, look at the Bond movies. In Dr No (1962) we see Ursula Andress emerge from the ocean, looking gorgeous, with a slim but normal curvy figure. You can see she's holding her stomach in. She looks great, but her body doesn't seem unattainable. Fast foward forty years to 2002, with Halle Berry making her appearance in Tommorow Never Dies. She emerges from the water with a body so toned and perfect that it makes Ursula Andress seem almost 'flabby'. Her boobs defy gravity, she has curves in all the right places, & there is not an inch of untoned skin or extra flesh. It's as though she was created by an artist, not by mother nature.
And I think it's this change thats made me feel guys now expect perfection from a girl's body. I spend a lot of time worrying about my body & perfecting it, because I'm sure that no guy will be attracted to me if I don't look like one of the girls in FHM. But is this true? Do men really mind if a girl has stretch marks, cellulite, or she isn't thin? Could he be attracted to a girl who doesn't have a body like a swimsuit model? I always assumed that men would really slag a girl off to his friends if she didn't have a great body, & I guess this has made me a bit paranoid. Does it really matter that much what her body looks like? The funny thing is, on the reverse when it comes to men, I really don't care if a bloke isn't an adonis, and if he is overweight/underweight etc. All I are about is hygiene and height. As long as I get on with the person and I find them sexually attractive then I really don't care.
Anyway, your thoughts please
