We were just talking about this again at the rehearsal dinner for the wedding I am in sunday. A couple of the girls in the wedding with me ...are what we as women perceive men to think as perfect. Tall, skinny as hell, gorgeous long blonde hair, and just plain beautiful. And there are a couple like me...just normal..lol. My husband and a few other of the men were very serious when I commented on how GORGEOUS they looked in their cocktail dresses....and all of them respnded "not really...she has no ass..she looks she needs a sandwich, and really I prefer your dark redhair to blonde"
I ,of course, was just like "shut up she is perfect"...and they looked at me like I was insane and went on eating.
I honestly think it is US as women who put it on ourselves that we should be perfect, and what perfect is. I think the majority of men are not looking at those women we so admire and thinking the same thoughts as we are...about how perfect she is. I have found even in myself, that I dress for other women, not for men. I want the women to look at me and desire to be like me, and not the other way around for a change.
