Are models always conventionally attractive, or just people who stand out?

Female models have features that attract women. Why? Because they are selling shit to women so they need women's attention. So female models are tall like men. They have sharp masculine features like men. They are thin (anorexic) because men have lower body fat than women in general. Advertisers want women to pay attention so they bait you with masculinity, and women take that as confidence because that's a core personality trait they look for in men... That why women swear so many celebrities and models are good looking, and many guys are like nope. Guys aren't into women that look like men, but women are and women are the target market.

Depends on the models. But high end fashion models like for Victoria secret all have odd features that kind of make the look almost alien. Weird eyes, weird faces, weird limbs, weird mouths, weird chins

or torsos

I have never seen a Victoria's Secret model that wasn't conventionally attractive.


Catwalk models at fashion shows are sometimes like you described.

Models are definitely not always conventionally attractive. In fact, a giant segment of the modelling world actively rejects "pretty" in favour of what the industry calls "striking" or "unconventional" looks. Plus-size models are a good example. I know one who is doing really well and making a lot of money, but many men would not find her attractive. Obviously those men are in the minority. It is all very subjective.

Interesting 😊. It’s not for me to say whether or not the guys that don’t notice her are in the minority. I’ve never met either of you and I’ve only been offered plus sized modelling opportunities. I’m far more interested in helping people with disabilities. I am attractive, but far from beautiful. I’d say that a lot of guys prefer the more petite women; but there are a percentage of guys that are afraid to approach any attractive women in general.

Then there are sensible guys who go for personality and slow burning romances.

@MissSunshine2 Mostly attractive

[AI Opinion]

Models are not always “conventionally” attractive; they’re usually visually striking or memorable. Fashion loves faces and bodies that stand out: strong features, unusual proportions, extreme height, unique gaps, freckles, asymmetry. Commercial modeling leans more toward classic beauty, while high fashion often prefers edgy, unconventional looks. What matters most is presence, versatility, and how someone photographs, not fitting a universal beauty ideal.

No they're not. It's mostly about their body measures cause high fashion isn't about making clothes to fit people. High fashion is about clothes that look good and then find the person that can actually fit in it. And the person that can fit does not have "average human" measurements usually.

Modelling is not so much about beauty, that's a different category called beauty pageants. Modelling is more about standing out e. g. unique features.
