Women who complain about these things are too lazy to do anything about their own bodies and feel the world should change for them to be happy instead of changing themselves for their own happiness.
Lol good for you.
@Fearless_banana? I'm confused lol.
Nah man I'm telling you that's how people should think lol. No sarcasm intended.
@Fearless_banana Oh I see lol, well thank you. :)
I think this is what some do too.
A lot of people just wanna eat junk food and sit on the couch watching TV all day and look good. That's not possible but everything is achievable with hard work.
If you want to look like a supermodel you have to work for it and who doesn't like a fit girl? I agree with you on this that when girls see someone better than them they say its not real but I've seen a lot of girls who look as good as a model.
Its just laziness of the society that makes people feel unrealistic about a fit body.
Guys tend to say that to , when they see a muscular guy they say he is on steroids and that's not true. Its possible to live healthy.
I think that we should not judge anyone no matter if its a girl or a guy for wanting to be perfect. and call them attention seeker or anything.
People always seek perfection and that's the truth.
Nothing wrong. I saw some guys saying the same too.
These people (beautiful) won the genetic lottery and will get usual negative responses from people who are depressed or lacking in someway.
Anorexic girls or girls with low self esteem problems will also try to mold themselves after the celebrity models with perfect looks.
See that's unhealthy. The shouldn't try so hard to change themselves to be like others. They should try hard to build up themselves to become greater
Do you blame them? Jealousy knows no bound
I admit I get jealous too when a see a girl with a good body. But I know I'm lazy and I'd be more jealous of someone eating a donut than having a good body. I'm just that way
Lol ok looks like you will get jealous of me
You're eating a donut right now. Now I'm hungry just thinking about it. Seriously, I'm craving sugar so bad I ate some dry cheerios covered in syrup earlier
No but i can eat any sugary foods and when i want
But i dont crave for it, thats the diff
No, I can eat any foods I want too. Also by crave I was just exaggerating. I just really want. I have kinda good genes, because I can eat an entire pizza and not gain much from it. I've been the same weight for over a year.
Oh it's not "unrealistic", those model girls have that body too (although that doesn't take photoshop into account).
My issue with Victoria Secret is that they're so thin that there's nothing attractive about their body type. They're literally as unappealing as they can get. Although the last picture on your take shows a "too overweight" and a "too skinny" woman, which is funny because the balanced setup inbetween tends to be ignored.
How is the one on the right in the last picture too skinny?
@frozenhorizon Because I can see her pelvic bone
I can see my own pelvic bone and I don't think I'm too skinny. :D
@frozenhorizon My pelvic bone is perfectly covered up by my skin, and I'm not fat :P
Different builds
What is unrealistic is the airbrushing - look at Victoria's secret models before and after the airbrushing. They still look thin before, and they still have fake boobs before, but the airbrushed pictures are obviously not real.
Then there's the fact that being very thin, not slim and healthy but ribs/hip bones showing/thigh gap is not healthy for most women, and that having large breasts at this weight is almost impossible.
I didn't mean models. I meant fit people, naturally curvy people, or big boned women. My title was changed
Some things like weight, are not unrealistic. But other things like height or hip or boob size are unrealistic because no amount of exercise will give you curvy hips or big boobs or taller.
So there's only so much many of us can do to be "model hot", and we'd still fall short.
I wasn't talking about models. I was talking about everyday people who either worked for their body or was born with it. My title was changed so most people think I was talking about models. I'm not saying people should try to achieve this look. I'm saying it's kinda rude to call someone who has unreal.
bc mst models are like 6 feet tall. its true people can be in shape if they try, but that won't give them long legs or small waste or l;urge break or height. thats hats unrealistic. not the in shape part. the example you gave looks tall judging by her height from the light switch. plus im sure she has surgery for her stomach.
anyhow in my opinion the most unrealistic thing about models is they are all very tall. most women are not tall let alone very tall.
and that can't be changed through hard work and dedication if models were aeragew height the rest would look more believable bc most people can maintain a good shape if they try. but looking at a 6 ft woman when average height is 5 ft 3.. it just doesn't begin to look believable. but models are not su[osed to look believable they are supposed to look just out of reach so that women spend tons of money trying to look like them. if models were supposed to loo believable they'd be 5 ft 5 and 125 pounds with dar skin light skin freckled skin non surgery enhanced bodies medium length legs in proportion to their body and hair that is not always thick and long i e no extensions and very little make up. if any and some stretch marks here and there... but they are not bc they are not meant to be believable or relatable but profitable.
i dont personally care if models look unrealistic, i just think its sick to spend energy worshipping other peoples bodes. its pretty pathetic and i find it believable this is even an important topic to people. i accept it is i just fond it so very peculiar.
If you mean in the last part she was a professional trainer, she gained weight while being a stay at home for while and then it took her months to bring it back down. Yeah, if you can't change something bout your body, that's the part you should love the most. Well some things.
I don't think they mean unrealistic as in doesn't exist, but unrealistic of every women to be expected to look the same and have the same body shape - you can't control your own body shape - as in a pear, an apple, an hourglass... it's the way it is...
And you can't have a thigh gap if your thighs are touching no matter how much weight you lose.
I think that's what they're talking about...
If not, that's what they SHOULD be talking about when they say 'unrealistic'.
I have the exact measurements of VS models - sans the height.
So it's not unrealistic. Uncommon, maybe. You have to have a small frame to have those measurements and then you have to be tall and it's uncommon for a girl to be that tall AND small framed. But it's not impossible.
I didn't relly mean models. My title was changed a little so it seems that's my point. I'm realy talking about fit people, people with natural curves, or big boned beauties.
Because fashion models are supposed to have bust/waist/hip stats of 34"/24"/34" or less, and you'd be crazy not to think that was an extremely thin standard. Also it's estimated that only a 5% of women in the US has a model body.
It's unrealistic for most women to emulate a body type that is a rarity.
I wasn't talking about a model body. I was talking about a fit body or someone who just naturally looks nice. My title was changed it's sounds like I mean models
Magazines use a lot of photoshop. So don't trust all these pics. But nothing withholds you from a good fitness program and healthy nutrition program (not a diet !!!) to look as good as possible. But you still have your basic body shape determined by your bone structure. Nothing much to be done at that. So just one rule: be realistic and don't dream.
Yeah I agree. We're all different so just be ourselves and be the best we can be
Yea I agree with most but there are things that you can never get regardless of how hard you work out like boobs and height.
Reason why we say it s unrealistic for "us" to look like someone "else"
But if course you can look like the best version of yourself.
Models have small boobs but you can still have model look without the height. Of course you wouln't be a runway/editorial model but model body nonetheless. So you need to stop playing coy archaaaiz ;)
@Oram52
woups sry
anw haha no I mean an ideal body type and not a model,
for an ideal body type you need to have nice boobs and a good height
Majority of girls have B cups so I don't understand why boobs should matter in regards to ideal body type, not saying most guys aren't drawn to bigger boobs Lol
Height I guess fair enough but there are plenty of guys who like petite girls or don't care about height at all.
@Oram52 I am not saying no guy will like my body lol
I am just saying by general standards regardless of individual preferences what I discriped is best
Yeah, I wasn't saying people should changed their look to be like others. I totally agree about being the best version of yourself, but don't knock down others in the process.
yes of course
I didn t disagree with that no need to tell me :P
I've never seen men say "never expect a girl to have that body."
Only women who are trying to give encouragements to other women would say such thing.
You're right. Tons of girls have a model-like body figures, and I've witnessed it many times with my own eyes.
No, sorry my grammar is horrible. I mean a lot of women say "men shouldn't expect girl to look like this"
Yeah, that's wrong too. We DO expect girls to look like that because a lot of girls DO look like that.
Yeah. I men. They call the guy shallow for it. But don't think it's wrong for them to have standards like that.
We don't mind if girls don't look like that. We don't think any less of women who don't have the model body figure. It's that the media always portrays women to have the perfect body. It's the same for men. You expect men to be muscular and jacked.
I agree with you. You shouldn't expect every woman to look like that. But it's not wrong to think some are.
Well everyone doesn't have the same body type. I agree that we can all be in shape, but not everyone's "in shape" looks like that. some people are more top or bottom heavy. But being fit isn't unrealistic, honestly it should be the standard. Americans love awarding everyone the winner even if they didn't try
That chick on the bottom is curvy not skinny. Skinny is VS models. Vs models are supermodels because they are tall and naturally thin. Like we all can't have a body like Beyonce or christina Hendricks. Those same skinny girls complain about the unrealistic standard of todays women being curvy. not all women can have curves. Fact is we ranch in sizes n shapes
I know that you don't talk about models in particular, but I have "model measurements" and have been scouted a couple of times, and I do not work out or starve myself in any way, shape or form - it's just genetics and I'm not really much of a food-lover I guess.
So yeah it definitely isn't unrealistic in any way, but I think lazy people just like to use it as an excuse to why they don't bother working out and stuff
To some extent. It's simple to be thin. But impossible for me to become white, change my natural figure which is pear shaped and not a model figure, I couldn't get tiny legs or thigh gap even when I was underweight last year. I think being a model is unattainable, as models are taller than average, more attractive than most, have a petite body shape or hour glass, you can't change genetics. And have great hair, again, genetics. Being thin is attainable, but models are not simply thin
The Victoria's Secret Model's work very hard to keep their bodies in the shape they are. I believe few people reliaze that their contract requires them to maintain a certain amount of fat/lean muscle on their bodies. Victoria's Secret does not look for the "stick thin" model's like some other companies may/still have.
As for me personally I like model's like Ashley Graham, Ashley Alexiss, and others that are now considered plus-size or curvy. They are the bomb.
Almost ALL the photos we see of beautiful models are PHOTOSHOPPED. That's what makes them unrealistic. Yes, a beautiful, modelesque body is achievable. A flawless one is not.
Sorry, again my title was changed. It wasn't about models. It was mostly about anyone who resembles beauty. But I stayed mostly on fit people. Again this is not about models in magazines
No, it's not unrealistic at all. I work my booty off to look like these girls (or better). I think everyone has their own beauty, but I know what I want for myself, which is leanness and physical fitness.
