Why do women think it’s ok to model clothing but if you pose nude you are exploiting yourself?

most of us don't like models either

because you have a thing called personal pride. this isn't bad. i dont think that i'm attractive at all, but every day i make sure that my makeup is perfect and that i'm presentable. it isnt bad it just means you feel like you need to look proper. many women do it and some are really, really bad about it. but for most its just engrained into us to want to look good for others, if not hot, then acceptable. some women wont leave the house without putting on makeup.\nive heard of some women that wont answer the phone unless they have makeup on.

because if they don't, they realize they don't look as good. \nanother common theme is to turn up the contrast and brightness on the webcam or whatever to drown out the blemishes and complexion. this highlights the features, but it's still all about being fake.\na lot of girls on sites like hotornot or whatever do that. they also like to put in pictures of their cleavage or their butt.   so as to somehow lure in guys.\nwhat they fail to realize is it lures in idiots who fall for that crap, while the real men know it's all about being fake and the girl is a bimbo or just plain desperate.

I wouldn't do it, not even for a laugh. Why degrade yourself so much just to impress your friends. That would just make me want to ditch them as there are so many other ways of having fun and not being on CCTV for bearing your boobs in public as you can also get arrested for it.

I know I am a woman but I have to agree.  I love dressing sexy.  But every time I let a little leg or a little cleavage show I feel like guys ogle me.  In fact, I went to a party this weekend.  It was a theme party and I dressed really sexy.  There were three guys maybe three feet away from me and I heard them say, "She needs to be the bartender she has such nice tits."  And they proceeded to talk about my boobs.  I said something to them of course but why should I be made to feel this way about my body?  Women are beautiful and it's a shame we can't be more respected for our bodies.  I'm not saying we should be able to go naked everywhere, but I'm with you, I want to be able to wear a short skirt in the summer without some guy trying to see what kind of panties I am wearing.

You can't judge all the women who use pictures as trying to compete against each other.  And it certainly does not mean that those who choose to use a picture rather than an avatar are out to gain more points.  It doesn't matter what you do in life...there are always going to be those who try to take advantage using alternative methods, etc., but to make the assumption that if a woman is using her own picture she is being underhanded is as raw as it gets.

If you're talking about pretty faces - nothing wrong with that (unless they are wearing make up like a prostitute).\n\nIf you're talking about showing off their Bodies - YES I AGREE WITH YOU!  Women are not supposed to tempt men.\n\nI've seen a few supposed Christians with sexy user names as well. It shows where their minds are at - on Sex, not Christ or living as a witness for Jesus.

It is all a matter of confidence. If you know what you want, realise what is best for you and exerce your own judgement, you can listen to advice, criticism, or publicity and either ignore it or take it into account but do your own thing. It is so sad to see all these women who follow a fashion or a trend slavishly when it does not suit them at all or who pretend to be something that they are not to try to impress others.  \nWhere we live young women (ladettes?) gather in great numbers and challenge one another to drink and drink at the week-end. They get completely plastered to be "in with the crowd" then go and relieve themselves in shop doorways or are sick in bus shelters. They just do not realise how pathetic they look and that the boys who are there are not in the least impressed.\nI believe that in due course they will realise the pointlessness of what they are doing and will seek more civilised pastimes.

It is natural to feel the need to have features that other people possess, especially in a world in which people discriminate based on their ideas of beauty. Because majority of social groups agree on the waif appearance of girls (for now, atleast), then many people succumb to the jealousy and desire to be like that too.\n\nI used to want the appearance of a model. That was until my boyfriend made me realize that I am merely conforming to what society wants and not what he and I truly desire.

nope, I think that the idea is not to be or look ridiculous, so may be you could ware sexy clothes but not looking ridiculous, just something that makes you look good, and I think this does not have anything to do with confidence, just with self-respect in order to look sexy and fine, not to be funny and ridiculous

Why?  They have the same equipment as you and I do. Besides, a lot of sites superimpose the star's face on a nude body. Beware, you might not be getting what you think you're getting

Because people in the media have no imagination, and people outside the media decide that what is shown in the media must be the "IDEAL VIEW OF BEAUTY".\n\nBut it's BS.  What you see in on TV is the lowest common denominator, not the ideal.  Make-up?  They are designed to appeal to women's concept of what they want to look at when they look in the mirror.  Models?  My Mom told me that she wouldn't buy something that made the model look fat.  Models are chosen to make clothes look good so that clothes sell, not on any ideal of beauty.\n\nEven suggesting that there is a beauty "ideal" is limiting.  That says that there is only one way to be beautiful.  And you and I know that isn't true at all.

I would never do that. I am comfortable with myself and wouldn't need someone else's picture to give me confidence.

If you are infact looking very hot and fine, maybe they are intimidated. scared. think of it as if you are on fire and they dont want to get burned.\nwhen you take it down a notch or two, you seem more human and normal.\nif instead your just being full of yourself, think about instead, feeling sexy and beautiful rather than looking it. if you feel it, it works well too.

It is extremely inappropriate. Many women don't realize the strong effect that their bodies have on boys. Do you really want a majority of men and boys who end up seeing you thinking about you sexually? Because that's what it does. While you aren't giving permission for anything sexual, you are definitely helping get inappropriate sexual thoughts into people's minds, EVEN for people who DON'T want them! Why would you degrade yourself by putting your body on display? Leave that to the animals, and rise up and be a dignified, beautiful woman who does not need her looks to show her true worth.
