Ya, looking at this issue briefly, is it really any wonder why many women have such low self esteem in regards to body image? Plus all these men who have very high (and unrealistic) expectations about what their partners ¨should¨ look like. This issue is just trash and really serves no positive purpose or helps to advance any kind of positive cause.
I also love the "patriarchy" angle of it as well, when the fashion/modelling world is run by women and gay folksproblem too is a lot of the shoots are heavily airbrushed and photo shopped, even the models dont look like that in real life

I felt like a perve in public lol.
ts a swimsuit issue. What were you expecting? That said, now that I am older than 12, I have a hard time getting psyched about something like this.
Are there double standards? Sure. How can we improve this?They actually have two pretty large sized models this year. I'm going tired of this argument anyway, because women have equally unrealistic expectations of men. Ladies, yes, you should aspire to look like a sports illustrated swimsuit model. Men, you should aspire to look like Ryan Reynolds, or a guy on Men's Fitness. Now...expect people to look like that? No. I sure as hell don't, never did and never will. My self is esteem is helped by the fact that I suspect I'm smarter than the guys on Men's Fitness.

Does Deepster that at least half the models in the magazine played college hoops?
I think more women ogle the Ryans (Reynolds/Gosling) of the world, but have no issue falling for a... squishier man, especially if they themselves shop at Lane Bryant. I know plenty of men, however, that couldn't see their abs in an x-ray, but are the first to call a size 12 girl a "pig" at a bar. Some of it is guy talk, but not all. The double standard certainly helped me outkick my coverage, but I know a few guys that were alone for a while, or wound up with a fit but nasty woman.They actually have two pretty large sized models this year.

Speaking of Genie Bouchard, did anyone see this?Genie Bouchard is adorable this year, and still looks like she could kick my ass.
Guy's get real. I just started looking at my issue now and gotta say I love what I'm looking at.
she's not very attractive or at least not my type....Speaking of Genie Bouchard, did anyone see this?
Bouchard pays off SB bet, agrees to 2nd date
Pretty cool. Lucky guy, he's getting a 2nd date too. I guess it pays to follow famous good looking women on Twitter.
that's a good thingThey saved a lot of money on fabric this year.
