Please stop making this about what men prefer women to look like. redqueen Jan 2014 #10

But that is always the subtext. The advertisers are trying to appeal to some male ideal of beauty, Flatulo Jan 2014 #11

It's not about whether I like your opinion, either. redqueen Jan 2014 #12

I appreciate the link. I read the blogspot and understand your point. However, Flatulo Jan 2014 #13
