Guys, Sign on if you dislike barbie doll types
Any other guys just find the Pam Anderson Barbie type completely bland?

It all looks the same, and it's rubbed in your face so much it's lost all excitment and appeal.

1. Luckily, MrG despises them.
I know you asked for the guys' opinions...but, I can't read that well.

Signed,
A non barbie doll type, more Irishy,Germanish...:hi:

2. amen, bro
gimmie the real deal anytime :)

Pam wasn't too bad pre-"augmentation" but now she's just so fake-looking that there really isn't anything there to appeal...

natural women, I :loveya:

10. Have you ever seen the photo of her, taken when
she was spotted by a "star-maker" of some sort? I believe at a baseball game, in Canada perhaps. Folks, she was really a pretty woman. She looked real; real breasts, long dark blond hair, gorgeous face, actual eyebrows, great grin.

I'm not being catty, honest (well, maybe a little), but wow.

4. I hate them
I don't like the look of women with those silicone sacks. I like women that look natural. I'd rather have a girl a few pounds over weight than seeing ribs.

5. Barbie dolls are offensive and sexist and appeal to
Edited on Tue Apr-20-04 07:43 PM by HypnoToad
really sad children.

Nor are they accurate reproductions of human beings. Ken was a big disappointment there as well; why would Barbie remain with him all these years? (or can I say "him", there's no evidence to PROVE it!!!)

7. Yes, but if I liked/loved the woman it wouldn't make any
difference...it's kind of a double standard to claim that looks are secondary to other considerations and yet not uphold that lofty position when the principals look like this:



Acknowledging that physical attraction is one of the keys to courtship in most face-to-face meetings, do I find attractive these (almost undoubtedly enhanced) women in the picture. Well, yeah, sort of, to some extent, in a 'supernormal stimulus' kind of way (lots of female secondary sexual characters on display, friends and neighbors, with supersized boobular and follicular components particularly apparent), but they wouldn't form my ideal fantasy woman if I had one that was based solely on physical attributes. Far from it.

But Barbie-looking women need love, too. :-(



One more for all the dirty old/young men patriots out there...

14. thank you
"Trashing" thin, blonde women is no better than trashing heavier brunettes. We should object to ideals and one-size-fits-all beauty in general rather than the women who are lucky/unlucky enough to fit the definition of the day. (I'm thinking of that Ani Difranco song: pay me for my beauty/I think it's only right/I have been paying for it/all of my life)

Of course, questioning the logistics of having breasts as big as those in your post seems kind of legitimate. My back hurts just looking at those things! ;)

15. MY back even hurts from looking at those constructions
Though perhaps I could lift them -- bend your knees to lift with ease -- if silicone weighs less than natural tissue. It's all fun and games 'til someone pokes an eye out.

Really, though, I agree with you across the spectrum. It sometimes seems like too many DUers get admonished for criticizing others for not fitting some arbitrary, transient definition of 'beauty' (and they should be admonished for that) but that it's okay to trash-talk about women who, whether through surgery or inherently, look more like the ideals that are foisted upon us every day via different media. It's like it's okay to stand up for one group, solely on the basis of their appearance, and just as PC to badmouth another, strictly on appearance. That's called 'hypocrisy.' Overweight, lightweight, or in-between-weight, women can be beautiful in a myriad of different ways even on a purely physical level.

18. What I think is most attractive in anyone
is when they really look like themselves. I don't know if I've expressed myself well.

8. Klaus Barbie has a doll named in his honor?


Well, yeah...in an era that has produced dolls of Dubya and Ann Coulter, why not...

16. Nope, a neocon one!
Get it along with your Bush 'flight suit' doll to complete the set!

You can guarantee, too, that such a doll would move infinitely more units in the US (and even the UK) than it ever would in Germany.

13. I like the female form in all of its glory.....
It would be just as shallow of me to not like a woman because she's blonde, blue eyed, and buxom as it would be for me to not like a woman because she is curvy or has blue hair or any other feature.

The female form in all of its many shapes and sizes is a wonderful, wonderful thing.

20. They're not my type normally.
But, if I met one who was intelligent, liberal, and possessed the other inner qualities I find attractive, I could break form. :-)
