It’s just a fantasy
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The good people over at Dove produced a “short film” entitled Evolution that depicts a model being transformed from her natural appearance (sans makeup, no airbrushing, etc.) to the final look that is prepared for a print ad. It’s interesting how this print ad shows how many images of beauty are manufactured. They pose a really interesting question, “How did our idea of beauty get so distorted?”
I wondered if many of us are seeking out what we see in media images when we are dating?
We all know that looks matter, but how far are we taking that idea? Reality or fantasy?
Do men hold women to an unfair standard of beauty that doesn’t actually exist?
Do women think that a man’s height, hair, or body has to look like what we see in movies, music industry, or television? It’s no accident that each guy on The Bachelor had those classic good looks and career. Again, this is manufactured fantasy, do we buy into it too much?
What are your thoughts on the Evolution film? What kind of message do you get from it?
My friend Panama said that while the film makes a good point, there are women in the world that have stunning looks. He doesn’t really see a problem with how women are “manufactured” in print ads and on television. According to him, men are smart enough to know that what they see in the media is part fantasy and they don’t expect the women they date to look like that all the time. Guys, you agree?

wisediva think that you passed on part of your summer cold, blog style…lol. i feel like crap!:( luckily, it’s the last day of school. yippee! couldn’t call out sick on the last day. lol
on topic: i definitely think the media plays a big role in expectations of men and women in relationships. the sad thing is a lot of people aren’t even aware that they’ve bought into the fantasy.

TGIF!….in exactly one week from today, I’ll be another year younger
I don’t feel I fall into the media illustration of beauty. I mean yeah it’s nice to see someone that has the chiseled body, perfect skin etc but when it comes down to it, do i just want someone that looks nice or someone that’ll treat me nice.
Do women think that a man’s height, hair, or body has to look like what we see in movies, music industry, or television?
Of course I can’t speak for all women but when it comes to height or whatnot I don’t think media has too much to do with it. Naturally a woman would be more attracted to a more healthier looking male as a good donor to ensure healthier off spring. Some thing I feel are innate but society has just exaggerated those characteristics.

Good Topic WiseDiva.
Sad but true. There is a website that I went on once, I will see if I can find it, that showed how images are touched up and altered to remove a natural look that society calls a flaw. When asked the question most guys and women will say “No I don’t fall the fantasy” but in reality most do.
Beauty is in the eye of beholder. However the problem is society has embedded into the mind an unrealistic model of a beautiful man or woman therefore leaving the beholder to look for something that does not exist.

To add I think some people are kind of getting tired of the media’s portrayal that beauty=no flaws. I find it surprisingly strange when I’m run out to the store looking like a tack head and guys still approach me. I think they appreciate a women that still has her own natural beauty even when she thinks no one is watching.

Hair flip to the WLB. To the fellas: Good morning to you.
This is a good topic. Well, I’m just going to go ahead and go there…
I wondered if many of us are seeking out what we see in media images when we are dating? I do think there are people that have bought into the fantasy. But, let’s be frank. The images that we see in the media do not represent the diverse society in which we live. We see one image and are expected to adopt it as our own. Furthermore, as an African American, I don’t see many positive images of Black couples on television. But, I do see alot of us allowing ourselves to be presented as buffoons within the mainstream. Flavor of Love and I Love NY are two examples of us helping to perpetuate the negative images of Blacks as ignorant, & highly sexual with low self worth.
We all know that looks matter, but how far are we taking that idea? Reality or fantasy? It depends on the individual. There are plenty of beautiful people out there with horrible personalities. Nevertheless, I do think that there is a difference in expectations for women and men. Women have always been viewed as sex objects/objects of desire. As a result, the media is constantly encouraging women to do things to maintain their attractiveness and sex appeal as we age in order to attract and keep the attention of the opposite sex. In contrast, as men age, they can still “pull” because the media portays them as being matured, seasoned, and debonair. Whether old or young, the message is men are desirable regardless of their age and less emphasis is placed on their physical characteristics such as their weight. Instead, emphasis is shifted toward their level of success and material wealth.
Bottom line is that no one wants to be with someone that no one else wants. The first thing you see is a persons level of attractiveness at first glance. But, once you dig deeper during dating you’ll find out whether they are externally and internally beautiful in their own distinct way.
The views expressed by T-Mango may not be representative of those expressed by the WLB as an organization

I agree with what your friend said that mean can distinguish fantasy of the media from reality of what women really are. I’ve had this discussion with many guys about why women can’t seem to make that distinction. From the romantic movies, cosmo polls, ebony articles and other articles force feeding women crap about what a man should have at a certain age matearially, what he should look like, rules of dating and their own body image types. Was reading about how in south asia they didn’t have a problem with anorexia or bulimia and then when they started piping in cable and satellite tv girls and young women all over stopped eating and over the next couple years anorexia and bulimia became a major problem in the country. As a guy I see some of the guys in movies/tv women drool over but that ain’t got nothing to do with me. Imma have me a burger and please pass the chocolate cake (withtin reason of course.) Persoanlly I like women that are naturally pretty and wear make-up because they want to from time to time and not because they have to. Natural is better. Naturally curly hair is a wonderful, sexy, thing. A natural kind of love for me as a person (not what I have/don’t have) is what I’m looking for.

I consider myself mostly unaffected by such media hype and jive. I don’t consider the current Hollywood scene to be all that attractive, really; painted ladies don’t appeal to me anyway. I prefer a natural look that really is natural — for instance, I’m not kissing a woman wearing glossy red lipstick, I’ll wipe that crap off first. Nah, I wouldn’t even be out with a chick that would wear it.
Of course, folks are more and less attractive, and most would agree on which side of the fence they’re on, but that’s not based on media fantasy.

Morning ALL!! And a lovely, bouncy hair flip to lovely ladies of the WLB, TGIF!!
on topic I think the media plays a part but I think as we mature we (some of us) obtain a more realistic view of what we find attractive. Like Slimone I have been approached more when I think I look a Hot Azz Mess than when I get dolled up. Granted I do like to see a man lookin his best, but I get a real kick out of a seeing a guy in Publix w/sweats, a sleeveless t-shirt and some (clean) sneakers on!! LOL

Sup Blog…TGIF…regarding the topic..I think the media does affect the perceptions of the opposite sx..But its more geared and targeted toward women when u look at the ads and commercials. And i think women themselves hold an unfair standard of beauty towards self and others. The proof is in the pudding…hair extension…weaves..plastic surgery..lypo..implants..tucks lifts..fad diets.butt shots and implants..all for the sake of beauty and image.and it changes with the season..even some men are getting in on it..calling themselves mxtrosxual..But i think like slim pionted out ..most men will seek out natural beauty even if it is flawed anyway…We all have different taste based on what we like….from rail thin to thick to voluptous and even bbw’s…So when it all boils down to it..a womans biggest critic is going to be herself and or other women based on what they see in the media and what they think us men like…

I think women are far guiltier of perpetuating these beauty myths than men. Women regularly wear makeup, fake nails, hair, wigs, breasts ( though the truth isn’t complaining on this one) and any other device they can muster. Then, like Slim said you see a chick come in the grocery store au natural and all you can say is dammmm. Dudes just don’t care, a shower and some smell good and its off to the races. When I was in Germany we had 3 chicks we nicknamed the mud queens. They would put on makeup before pt(physical training). The guys would be like, “we’re about to run 3 miles WTF”.
T-Mango thanks for the diclaimer, we didn’t know if you officially represented the WLB with that one. LOL

Good Morning Ladies, head nod MLB, whenever ya’ll show up.
I think that there are some unrealistic images of beauty thrown at both men and women. Many of those who meet the media’s image of beautiful aren’t really attractive, but if you see someone enough, presented as such, then you will say they are good looking. Perception is often times reality. Now with all this said:
UGLY does exists, but its the same as beauty, depends on the eyes making the call.

Truth I never understood women like that who could never leave out in public w/o putting their face on. I have an auntie just like that. The bad thing about chicks who constantly put on makeup is whenever you do catch them in rare form, they almost look sick. That’s the kind of thing that makes baby cry. Waaaahhhh, waahhh! Personally that’s just too much work.

Slimone-I’ve read that Caucasians do suffer from eating disorders at higher rates in the past. But, the articles never seemed to address the root of the problem. Not sure why…
Personally, I think it all goes back to images. If you look at the commercials, magazine ads, cover shots, etc…who’s images are there the majority of the time? Caucasian women. So, if that’s the image that you are being fed(lose weight, be skinny and have the perfect body), and you identify with the image presented from both gender/cultural lines, & that image is the perceived standard of American beauty… then it would appear that if you have esteem or self-image issues that you’d constantly measure yourself against the “standard”. If you don’t see yourself as measuring up to the standard you may take drastic measures to try to achieve the “standard.”

T-Mango that does make a lot of sense. I know a few years back body dysmorphic disorder was a topic on a talk show. I was amazed at some of the stories on there. This tried several times to remove his own leg because he felt that he should only have one. He stuck his leg in a bucket of dry ice attempting to freeze it off. He would often tie his leg up behind him and walk with crutches because it bothered him that bad.

I agree with SJ and Truth when it comes to the media and women. The media isn’t geared towards men. It has been reported that women spend 80% of the consumer dollar. So, you know who the media will target as its customer. Therefore, you have women wearing fake hair, nails, lips, hips, azzez, and eyezez. Men like natural because we know you are going to look that way in morning, whether your hair is done, or when you are sick.

Thank God Its Friday
Hey Blog Fam
This is an interesting topic. Of course our society has bought into the various images of “canned beauty” that is constantly flashed on television and print media. It has become such a crisis that anorexia nervosa is no longer a disease that plagues one particular society. .In psychiatry we see so many young girls of various nationalities and ages battling the disease.
My best friend recently visited California and was astonished by the amount of very slender women there. She’s a size 3 (she has always been slender) and has the appetite of a grizzly bear. If she was amazed; I’ll take her word for it. Self-esteem plays a big part in the issue of body image.
With men, some have unrealistic expectations and some don’t. It’s hard to say. I know plenty of guys that really appreciate a woman that takes good care of herself (makeup or natural…cornrows or hair weaves).

Reality Check: There is no such thing as “natural beauty”. If you shave your legs/underarms, tweeze your eyebrows, wax your bikini line, relax/color your hair, ect. then you are altering the state of your “natural” body. Of course there is absolutely nothing wrong with any of these things! They are quite necessary for alot of us:)

I find that women with their own self-esteem issues relish the articles about “celebrities without their make-up” because it makes them feel better about themselves. The truth of the matter is that, yes, those ladies do look alot different with no makeup on. But when they are made up professionally, they are absolutely gorgeous. This same thing cannot be said about the average or below average-looking woman. You can’t just take any old girl and give her a makeover and expect her to look like Beyonce. Those celebs had alot to work with from the beginning. All the MAC in the world can’t make Whoopi look like Naomi Campbell!

I noticed a long time ago that women in warmer climates like Florida and California (and maybe men too, I haven’t noticed, but hey — and I’m talking on average, here) take better care of themselves, and keep themselves in better shape than women in the midwest, such as in Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Michigan. I figure it’s because more than half the year, the midwestern chicks are dressed like the Michelin man and avoid going out into the brutal weather, while the ones in warmer climes are out in shorts pretty much year round, and have more of a conciousness about it due to the exposure.
I disagree that one can classify ethnicity by weight or body image. There’s too many fat white chicks for that. I read the other day that overall, 71% of American men are overweight or obese.

Didn’t you just say the other day that after reading so many of the posts here, you have a better understanding about women, and that you were actually thinking about making a committment to your girl???? Don’t make me direct quote you -‘cause I will!… What the heck happened, and don’t try to play me with the she had a kid thing.. that’s just something you are trying to hide behind..um, um, um… Go on…do tell..

Ling good morning hun. I told you all I was considering marriage. I did that but in the end it wasn’t right. If she didn’t have a kid it would be a no brainer, she is a great chick. I will not rule out marriage though in the future. It could be fun with the right chick. She deserves a man that will be there long term and I’m not that guy. *Slim I am real cool with it. Its not the end of the book but the beginning of another chapter. We had a great run but now its time to move on. I’m gonna miss that booty though. The best I ever had.

after I turned down her marriage offer. That brings up an interesting point. Would you blog ladies ever propose to a man? I believe it’s more common than one might think. My wife asked me to marry her, gave me a ring and all. It was so surreal it caught me off guard. I didn’t know what to say. I thought she was playing, but she was dead azz serious. I never answered her and she never pressed the issue any further. Several months later I bought her a ring and proposed to her in the traditional manner. Occasionally, I will jokingly bring it up. I’ll say something like ”yeah…you wanted to lock this good diznic down. That’s why you asked me to marry you.” She normally catches convenient amnesia and acts like that shyt never happened. When I talk about it she gets a little embarrassed. Actually, I think it took a lot of courage to expose herself to possible rejection and humiliation. Then again, the risk was minimal. She knew I wouldn’t say no. I still wear that ring today.

IG The MLB doesn’t have step. We have trophy celebration and give you or should I say the winner some flim credits. The MLB will even negotiate a second flim depending on sales.
So come on ladies we need the celebs look-alikes. The brackets will be broken down by celebs.
Slim Me first and I cut the sleeve off my Batman Suit.

Du good “D” will have you looking for a brotha in the daytime with a flashlight LOLOLOLOLOL hilarious Slim putting her head down…thinking it’s so true
IG I’ve never had any D that made me want to commit a crime or anything but I have had good D. Slim now turning to google for help to find him
The problem is when dudes KNOW their D is da bomb….Thats how girls end up having to find another ride home from work because she let him use her car while he’s out driving around another chick. lol
and no this has never happened to Slim

Sunshine Gabrielle Union Check. The MLB thanks you.
Slim Sister Sister chicks and Aaliyah Check. The MLB thanks you. BTW, it is called a Utility Belt and I can’t take it off the buckle is rusted. Oh and I have been told I look like seem to me every dark skin bruh that comes out (movies, sport, singers & rappers). So it just depends on the female that is looking.
Ling Said she knows what I look like. You thought I forgot didn’t you Ling. I am still waiting for you to tell me where you know me from.

IG IG is one of those ladies that can have a great sex life and still make rational decisions
What that statement says to me is that you have only realized 85% of the power of that Good D that you say you’ve had - meaning you’ve probably been holding back, afraid that you “might lose yourself”.

Island Girl “never have been the emotional chick.” That statement is oxymoronic. Emotions are a part of a female’s genetic make up. It’s a part of you, just like estrogen. I will give you the benefit of the doubt. Maybe you can control yours better than most. However, rational decisions can be subjective. That Good “D” will put you under a spell (I have seen it happen to the best of them.) Before you realize it, you would make a rational decision to search for me in the daytime with that flashlight. Everyone else would think you’re insane, but in your rational mind you’re just trying to find DuShawn so he can beat it again.

Truth Didn’t we go down this path a few weeks ago? .. You know.. Single mothers, and the opinions that men have about them? I won’t bore you with what my responses were, as I know you too could research my previous posts.. So, I’ll get straight to the point. You claim that we, members of the WLB, have given you better insight to women.. You said this just the other day and yet you advise us that you broke up with your girl, and then come in here wagging your tail, blaring the trumpets with…“MAJOR NEWS BULLETIN The Truth is single again. I decided against marriage and the only thing left was to end it. She’s not to fond of relationships that aren’t going anywhere. She really was a great chick but she had 1 major flaw, a child. The Truth can’t do the chillin’s. Time to look up some old thangs to get this thing started right.
As though you are proud of this feat…. Uh, I think not.. I probably would’ve left you alone had you not said If she didn’t have a kid it would be a no brainer.. But typical Truth has to beat his chest and declare his manliness eschewing the virtues of a childless woman.. tisk, tisk, tisk.. If you are really interested in what the women on here have to say, you’d heed this warning… If all things are equal - the things that you want in a woman - cooking, cleaning, God Fearing, driven, ambitious, devoted, etc..- and you find that woman - but she brings a child with her - hold it now… and you don’t want her because she has a child… than you are really quite shallow… and this characteristic is one that many a man wears on his sleeve… He thinks it’s something that no one can see.. But.. Aha! He is wrong.. Women can sniff a shallow, self-centered, ideological man 3 miles away… And while she may give you a little of her time, she will never give you her heart.. So, keep playing women the way you have and you’ll find yourself very much alone… But then… being alone is probably a good thing for you.. Right?
Unless this child of hers was the spawn of Satan, kicked you in the shins every time she/he saw you,.etc.. Then to cast her aside for being a mother is … low.. Really low.. But I have to remember, that you aren’t really interested in a “significant other”.. Just an other… opps! I said that before too.. Didn’t I ??
Not to worry… I won’t completely ignore your future posts..(smile) Just know that this member of the WLB is waiting - with baited breath- for these types of responses from you. And you know me… you won’t get a free pass!
(Ling, begrudgingly sends you a blog (((hug))), as she knows, one day in the not so distant future, you’ll come to regret your feelings about dating women with children)

While I wouldn’t string anyone along in spite of it, but because I know it in advance, I’d not go for a chick with young kids either. Maybe my reasons are different from Truth’s, in that I’ve raised mine and just plain don’t want to endure teenagers anymore.

Some dudes do it some don’t. If I decide I want kids I want my wife to be as excited as me. Not ” I got this baby, this is old hat”. If that makes me shallow than so be it.
