I do find a couple of them attractive but they do not represent my idea of a "real" girl.
Most are too skinny and dont' really have a shape or any memorable features but their metal and ink effects. Yes, real people get tats and peircings, and that's not my beef. My beef is they come across as being real when they are as much of a caricature of reality and attractiveness as we accuse the plastic hotties of being. It's all fake to me.

Um... i'm not sure if you're aware of this or not, but
that is how those girls look. Every day of their lives. On the streets, in their homes, at their jobs- while they eat, sit, stand, pray, talk, laugh, walk, run, skip, jump, dance, head-bang, tease, touch, caress, kiss, love, fuck, AND... while having their picture taken.
That is the "real" them. They wear the "gallons of ink" and "dozen piercings" because they want to, they like to, and it's a form of expression for them, coming directly from their own feelings and thoughts, and not what others think they should do to themselves. They're not getting implants because society says it's hot, they're not getting plastic surgery to fit some mold society has created, and they don't give a shit what you or anyone else thinks about how they look- and
that is as real as it gets.
If this is not the definition by which we classify what a "real" person is, then exactly how do you suppose it is defined?
Also, I take personal offense to your comment:

That is a horribly perverse generalization based on your limited knowledge, or ignorance, on the subject. There are many, many different types of girls in this genre, and it seems you may have only been able to see something of a percentage of the whole.
Also- keep in mind that when you say something like this, you are insulting those who DO find beauty in the shape, features, etc., of these girls. Not every girl is for every person. Please take that into account and note the difference between your opinion, and a broad statement.
Thanks all!
