Playboy Picrtures Had A Greater Impact Than I Believed Them To Be

I always dated very attractive women and dated very often. Like most young guys I viewed Playboy women. I knew the pics were air brushed to make them look perfect. As I look back on those years I realize how small flaws on women's bodies caught my eye and impacted my attitude toward some of them. That sounds like I am an ego type and in part that is true as I rejected many offers if the body was not what I wanted. I always took care of myself and had no use for women that let themselves go even at young ages. Even today I am a watcher and am enamored with middle age and older women that keep themselves fit and look healthy and dress to show their figures. Maybe it is not all attributable to Playboy as America is deeply entrenched in women's' beauty products and images. We even go so far as to ridicule some women like the "Women of Wal-Mart" photos for one example. I find it odd the praise of beauty is sometimes viewed as bad while the cosmetic industry is what it is.
 
I don't think there's anything wrong with having a preference for physical fitness in one's partners. :shrug:

Frankly, that preference exists for a reason. It indicates good health, good genes, and good habits... All of which should be "attractive" to anyone who's thinking clearly.

And poor vision! LOL
 
I don't think looking at some Playboy mags is what made you have opinions on what you wanted in a partner, either. Vice Versa. Because reality of even fit and perfect women (in real-person standards) is no where near the faux perfection of a magazine model. If you held women to that standard you'd be alone... forever.

I like looking at people of all ages and both sexes with nice bodies. I think the human body is fascinating and can be pleasing to study.

I know there are days when I am in a hurry and throw clothes on with little regard for style but for the most part I think it is important to make an effort. I believe it changes how we view the world and how we interact with others.

You only have one opportunity to make a first impression.

I've been with so many women that I lost count sometime in the mid-nineties. Nonetheless two really stand out. Both have identical body-shapes: short and fit with big tits. They also shared another trait in common, which I probably ought not state too boldly but found to be most important of all. Let's just say they were/are both a very tight fit.

When I die and go to heaven, I hope they both greet me at the gate. :)

I agree with the general sentiment.

The issue arises when you consider that many of the body types showcased in playboy most certainly are not indicators of good health/genes/habits. The fact that a playboy model is airbrushed is not indiciative of their good skin habits, but it can encourage people to undertake habits that are not healthy in order to attain such a look. Likewise with eating habits.

Many people undergo unhealthy habits, simply to emulate what they see in such magazines.

Likewise, not looking like a playboy model is not indicative of bad health/genes/habits, but it's an easy assumption to make if you do assume the opposite to be true. People come in all shapes and sizes and whether someone is actually unhealthy or not is something between themselves and their doctor rather than themselves and everyone else.
