Shallow Men And The Women Who Suffer (The Male Lust For The Supermodel Perfect Mate Alert)

Jerusalem Post ^ | Rabbi Shmueley Boteach

[goldstategop]

Rabbi Shmueley Boteach discusses the perils of modern dating and marriage. Men want the supermodel perfect mate. A dream woman who is a physical "10" in attribute and looks. With the Bo Derek fixation, women who don't measure up to men's expectations in a woman lose out. Its not a woman's brains, personality or character that interest men. Its what she has to offer on the outside. Men who are as shallow as the bimbos they're attracted to. Its true Boteach talks about Jewish dating here but don't be put off by it; the lesson is a universal one.

Could be Jewish.

That last paragraph is great. And it should apply to the Jew AND Gentile.

Thanks for the thread!

Typical man-hating garbage article. Naturally, you couldn't publish a woman-hating diatribe like this without the world coming down on you.

But no problem calling all men shallow. That's cool.

The comments are good, except for one thing.

Young men can be coached to do the right thing, but young men cannot make young women make the right choices. Today's women are being sold a bill of goods by the media elites, that no young man can combat.

Try telling a young woman her breasts are heavenly and she doesn't need augmentation. She'll tell you your full of it and go ahead with her plans.

Take a look at what young women are signing off on these days. Where in the past people urged them to do things that weren't right, today's women have minds of their own, and most guys are powerless to tell them anything.

I've experienced some of this myself over the years.

OK everybody, time out, and ask just one simple question:

Why....to the deepest depths of Why, as in just why is it that

We guys prefer: full bosom, tiny waist, long legs on a woman. Who ordained, who prescribed that this should be so?

Think carefully... the answer may not be as shallow as thou thinkest.

I've learned to adjust my expectations. I realize the perfect woman doesn't exist. We all have flaws and those men who fantasize about supermodels don't know what their minds are like, their values or their sense of compassion. Physical attraction is important to a relationship but its not the only criterion to determine ultimate compatibility between a man and a woman.

Well, many men lust to catch a beautiful jewfish:

And, of course, someone has to post this:

Over a century ago the ideal was a full figured woman neither too fat nor too thin. My mother, God bless her soul, was never thin but she was beautiful. I don't think a man today would date or marry her because of the fetish about where a woman's figure comes in. As I said, men have to widen their horizons. There are lots of pretty women around and not all of them have the anorexic twiggy look that's in fashion today.

"Supermodels" are often quite grotty. Along with a lot of other female celebs out there.

[gogeo]

You seem insecure. There are shallow men, just as there are shallow women. It's a fact of life.

There are guys who marry for looks. I think they're fools.

Its an ideal. But few human beings can live up to a standard of demanding perfection. Few women are interested in marrying a hunk. They're more astute judges of people's deportment and character. Here is where they are less superficial then men. They size up people with more than just looks in mind.

[Gondring]

Well, the answer seems to be "Society," since the ideals have changed with the times and conditions. In the past, women with large waists have been favored, for example. Sometimes it can indicate a woman who is better nourished and will yield healthier offspring.
