How come a lot of very pretty women want nothing but to be models and actresses?

There is a lot of money in it if you can make it. Good looks come with a shelf life, at least as far as modeling goes.

In the past, women were valued for their domestic abilities and their value as a potential wife and or mother. So the more beautiful you were, the better chance of completing your goal in life and snagging you one. Now, better opportunities are afforded to women such as an education and a vast job market. Men, now, do value beauty, but not as much in the past because they are also looking for a business partner as well to help them run a household, and she happens to be a little less than beautiful, it's o.k. because people are so money hungry now.

society can't accept women not being modelesque in the same way that men who are out of shape and don't look like rockstars or male models are unacceptable.\nyou just need to find someone who is comfortable with the person that you are inside. to hell with people that don't want to see inner beauty.

Women are conning themselves. The fashions on the runway and the red carpet are fashions that keep men from looking at women as they would other men, with no attraction. Women have assets that attract but they up front want to play this high and mighty "don't look at me as some object or just a piece of meat" then all rush out to do just that. Be it the plastic surgeon, the magic diet pill. They all want to look smoking in a little black dress or a bikini. And when they don't want to make the sacrifice to look that way, they want to tear down women that do. Fashion like that survive because most women want to be the center of attention when they enter the room at a party or step out on the dance floor. When you show off some long leggy cheese cake or see deep cleavage between the melons to give the illusion of ample breast. It spells sexy. And any girl who say they would not want to be sexy is like a guy saying he would not want to have as many women after him as Hugh Hefner.

I think you'll find guys like looking at attractive women but want pretty girlfriends.\nA male judges a females looks by a nice figure.\nA woman judges another woman's looks by how much make-up she wears.\nWe live in a very visual world.\nTall girls? No man wants a woman towering over her.\nMind you, people like Sylvester Stallone/Tom Cruise don't have much of a choice in the matter.

because that what the movies and other westernised media portray as the ideal choice of a 'goddess' on earth.\n\n- for examples, just check out the latest hot chick in Hollywood or Bollywood.  \n\nyou'd notice that the chicks that were considered 'hot' in the 1950s - 60s would be considered simpering and motherly in today's world.

They feel they are too important to have to choose.We women know it is almost every guy's fantasy to have more than 1 woman AND for the women to be cool with it. It's basically an ego trip.

We are all striving for perfection because of all the tv ads, the magazines showing perfect women.  Men make up feel we have to be perfect also.  They check out the perfect ones, not the anorexic or heavy ones.  It is all because of our culture.  We should accept ourselves for who we are and if no one likes us, they aren't worth knowing.

Hmm well maybe because every pron magazine that comes out of America has atleast million pics of blondes showing whatever they have to show..every XXX movies have them, most of the hollywood movies have atleast one blonde.... SO maybe guys get the idea that the women who will are going to let them do it are the blondes...\nAs for me i dont know what they have ,to be proud of or to make them better looking than others.....

There's a difference between perfect and healthy.  It's great that people want to shed extra pounds and not be over-wieght.  \n\nBut as said before, the media paints the picture of what is "beautiful" and we buy into it.  Plus it's an industry: Diet pills, Workout Videos, plastic surgery, Counciling.  The more insecure we are about our looks the more money they get.

I think it's because the culture and the media that portray women or men have to be pretty or handsome.\nIf you live in an isolated village, there's no such a thing that men/ women prefer their partner to be pretty/handsome.

The "pretty" people are not generally teased for their looks. The"ugly" people just have one more thing to get teased about. That isnt always true though... sometimes "pretty" people sometimes have very hard lives... look at cwelebrities. I prefer not to look at people as "pretty" or "ugly". If everyone did that, the people you call "ugly" would have much better lives.

Because no matter what, one woman will never be enough for most guys. They are pigs. They fantasize about doing more than one girl at once because they can't have just one. They are sluts.

Naturally, we have the media telling us how important it is.  We see it in magazines.  We get the peer pressure and prestige that seems to come from being with beautiful people.  It has been that way for quite awhile now, but the inner beauty is the one that lasts and the one that you really have to spend the time with.  I love my wife for her inner beauty not outer.

Many men/women tend to look past that quality which makes that person special.  Our society rewards beauty, and while this is not fair, it is a fact.\n\nFor those who are guided by their own standards and phiolsophy, we see the person for what they are. Caring, loving. Worth having.  Hope this has helped.

You~re right, looks is the first thing that attracts women to men, so I dont understand why they complain when we do it. Or maybe I do, try this -\n\nThe women who complain about men being shallow are the 90% of the poplulace who are ordinary, and they want to deter men from going after the 10% pretty girls. Effectively they are using harsh language to try and get more attention for themselves when their looks dont deserve that attention. Hahahahaha

Because women are beautiful works of art.  All, well almost all, should be cherished.
