Why do women enjoy complaining about how men are shallow if they idealize supermodels?
I don’t get this. You don’t NORMALLY see men complaining about the fact that women only want men with six pack and a big D_I_C_K? Im an average guy and i don’t whine about women being “unrealistic”…so why do women do this?
Women complain that men are shallow because they enjoy seeing supermodels on television and in other media, they say men should lower their standards and “accept them for who they are”…WHY THE HELL SHOULD THEY? Men cant help being attracted to the ideal body type (which im sorry to say tends to be the supermodel type)… Are we just supposed to start forcing ourselves to start liking fatties, so women don’t have to take care of themselves? Why do many women have to try and shame men for “not being fair”?
You don’t like it that men idealize the TV supermodel type? Tough luck…do something about it, its NOT impossible to look like them…they did it why cant average women? Lazy? it not like modern women are stuck at home caring for children.
Instead of whining about men being shallow, why not accept it and do something. I know women want a man with a six pack, i know women want a man with money, i know im ugly compared to the ideal man, do i try to bitch and whine about women and society for this? NO!
So why do women hate men who like this particular body type?
admin answers:
Actually, both sexes complain about these things. Some men also complain about women wanting the man with money, or looks (Wow, all you need is a six pack to have looks?), or etc.
Your point of instead of complaining, doing something about it, is a pretty decent one.
However,
Better point, the complaints show a lack of confidence.
So develop some confidence, first.
My experience with women is that they generally look at a man’s confidence first and formost and in some-cases it is the only thing women consider when considering a man.
We men are similar in that respect, but it is not as widely talked about. A woman that is insecure will do things that drive men away like complain and question a man about women he looks at.
Chris asks…
How can a thin woman really get a six pack?
I am 5’10” 125lbs so weight/fat loss is not a real issue overall. If I do gain weight, it goes straight to my abs so I suppose I would be “apple shaped” if I was bigger, opposed to “pear shaped.” (I heard for women its usually the abs or hips)
I work out about 4x a week but dont know how much or how long to do cardio (I know necessary to keep the fat off the abs so you can visibly see muscle). I do about 45 mins on eliptical 2-3x/wk. And, how often I should do abs. Every workout? Every other? How strict with carbs b/c I know you have to be if you really want your muscles to show?
I’m def not saying I am anywhere close but what do swimsuit models do for fitness and what do they eat? I think my body type is similar and I want to do this healthy but most plans I find are for people who want to lose weight. I just want to tighten and tone. And, I’m not trying to be Miss Olympia.

Hi there!
Get a scale that calibrates body fat in addition to just weight. If you get down to between 9-13% body fat and hit abs correctly about 3X per week, adding resistance, you should get sick abs!
I believe this answers your question, but if not you may email me at gregg@leandownsite.com
Have a great day!

John asks…
Are us women only bothered by the media because we allow it to?
I was just looking at Yahoo! Answers and saw this question about how this girl said she’s tired of people saying skinny girls aren’t real women, they need curves! I agree, you’re still a woman with or without curves, but then I thought, are women only bothered by this because we let ourselves be bothered? An article in a magazine says ‘Men prefer curvy women‘ so every girl who reads it freaks out and puts herself through hell trying to achieve the perferct body.
I’ve never asked a guy, but if you read a magazine article that said ‘women prefer six packs’(for whatever space-time bending reason) would you care?
Well, now that I asked the question I feel dumb, because I feel like I answered it for myself. But it seems like we have so much more to worry about; hair, make up, clothes, body image. Did it get this way because us women let it?
admin answers:
It is the media’s job to make women and men feel bad about themselves. Without making people feel bad about their hair or body image they can’t sell their products. The media targets both genders with the perfect exercise equipment to get the perfect body or the diet program that will achieve the perfect body. Men are targets for this as much as women. There are hair restoration commercials that target men and of course the male enhancement commercials. Both genders are equally responsible for letting the media control the way they look and feel about themselves.
Maria asks…
Why is the 0.7 Hip/Waist Ratio “in”?
All women come in different shapes and sizes, some may have big boobs, some may have small boobs, some may have a big butt, some may not have a big butt, some may have thicker legs but a slim figure, some may have chunky arms but a small waist, etc, etc. So why have scientists “proven” that men prefer the 0.7 hip.waist ratio, when all men are DIFFERENT, and think DIFFERENTLY? It’s like saying ALL women want a man with a six pack, ALL women want a man whose rich and living in a mansion, ALL women want a man who have dark eyes/hair, etc. Also, this whole 0.7 ratio thing is going to get women all over feeling so damn insecure about themselves, thinking that they’re too fat or thin if they don’t have a 0.7 ratio. Honestly, the article made me feel like shyt, not because I am feeling sorry for myself that I don’t have a 0.7 ratio, but because I have always been on stupid diets TRYING to be what everyone else wants me to be. It’s so damn crazy how people, magazines, tv ads, etc make you feel so insecure. Yes I should be proud of my body, but all the damn time there’s always something that has to bring us WOMEN down. Instead of being happiness, radiant and being nice and helpful to others, we should focus on getting a 0.7 ratio to get men now? How will we EVER get checked out again (sarcasm) and who will ever marry us even with a 0.8 ratio (more sarcasm).
admin answers:
The .7 rule feeds the diets industry (pun intended… Hehehe), which is one of the biggest industries there is. Women diet because the media makes them feel bad, the media uses unrealistic beauty standards because that is what makes the beauty industry happy, and the beauty industry buys ads in magazines, and women buy products form the beauty industry because they feel like they have to. It is all about money. Unfortunately it is a hard cycle to break. If a few women stop wearing makeup and being slaves to fashion, they get branded “ugly” and “radical feminists” or “feminazis”. Everyone would have to stop all at once for it to change, and that won’t happen anytime soon.
I always wish that women could choose their level of involvement with their appearance, the same way men can. Men are allowed to be completely ungroomed and still told they are sexy, while women have to slave away just to be average.

How do I get my flat stomach back? Or a six pack? Help!?
I am a petite 22 year old black woman. I’m 4’11 and I weigh 110. I used to be in a dance group, so I stayed in shape. Now that I am out of college and working a 9-5, my tummy has gotten bigger. I really want my old stomach back 
I was thinking of joining a gym, but when I go to the gym, I’m not sure what equipment would be best for me to use.
I also am confused about having a healthy diet. I get bored with eating salads. Please give me some ideas. I want my stomach back!!!!
I am really focused on toning. I am fine with my weight.
