DH and I were discussing this with a group of friends earlier today - why are all models now expected to be so thin?
Normally, nobody finds it attractive (obviously bar a few exceptions). The majority of men prefer at least some moderate feminine curves and the majority of females feel slightly sick looking at a really clinically underweight model. It's extremely damaging for these women who starve themselves to be in that profession and surely we'd all be more persuaded to buy stuff if the person modelling it looked happy and healthy...
I don't mean naturally skinny like some people who struggle to gain weight . I mean really, really, anorexic thin like a supermodel.
Any theories?
