Bikini Fitness Models

Why are male models so beautiful and healthy looking compared to female models?

Yeah, they eat, but why aren't the girls allowed to do that? I love watching male models - most of them look so healthy and sculpted. Not too skinny and odd looking, but just a prettier and more lean version of the average guy. However, most female models are SO different looking from the average girl (height/weight)... Why is that? @ Jutt - Most male models are actually quite straight... Even the gay fans have accepted that fact. :)

1. They eat.
2. Male models need to be fit Female models need to be skinny. Point blank which should i wear? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AmkHzI84Hoa.Z6_3gHmcvcrsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20090811144645AAhY1TP
3. they work out and have mussels and women have to be stick figures thasts y
4. They always want guys to look macho and girls to be like anorexic. Not all guys look like that and same with the girls. You just might be noticing it because you like looking at the guys. The same goes with guys. They enjoy looking at the girls' bodies but they don't notice it takes a lot to be that skinny and have that figure.
5. Because male models eat protein and work out. Female models, starve themselves and exercise too much.
6. Cause ur a girl of course ur gonna like male models more
7. well the ideal female nowadays is lithe, skinny and fair skinned. A twig. THAT is unhealthy. The ideal male is strong, well built and clean cut. So in all honestly only the males are meant to look so because they "need to protect their women" Funny how most of them are gay anyways. (could be just a stereotype, but hey, those aren't ALL untrue, right?) PS. to OP's response to me: Thanks, that always did make me wonder :3 oh... and colt? I'm a guy, I prefer males. So shove it </3
8. Well i think some fashion models are unhealthy. i think they starve themselves too much. haha but if it was another kinda model, like fitness, they look good too. like jennifer nicole lee! she looks REALLY healthy u shud google her. and male models probably work on staying healthy and working out, so theyre unlike female fashion models who dont try to stay healthy :(
9. It's all to do with the distortion of body image, I think. Girls seem to want to aspire to be skinny - like many of the models on the catwalk. Fortunately designers are starting to crack down on this. That's another reason why girl models are so thin: designers believe clothes hang/look better on extremely thin girls, rather than the average girl who'd actually wear the garment in reality. As for men, they're also a reflection of how many guys want to be - muscular, chiseled, tanned. Remember it's a a business and industry like any other - the point being to sell whatever is being modelled.
10. You have to eat and get protein to build muscle, which male models have to have, therefore they are healthy. Women don't have to have muscle, but are sort of expected to be thin.
11. I think it is because men have always been thought to be tall and women short so tall women are "different looking". I'm 6'1" and I get 4x the attention a tall male gets. Men just have to be handsome when it comes to modeling. Women have to be exotic looking, but not necessarily beautiful. Plus the average girl is 5'5", whereas the average guy is 5'9".
12. male models aren't exactly healthy. a lot of them over exercise and take pills. and before a photoshoot they will dehydrate themselves in order to appear more lean and buff. i guess they look healthier because they are biiger then female models. they are wokring towards big muscles (male beauty) and females work towards skinny (female beauty) but it deosnt make them any less healthy.
13. Probably because most female models do not eat enough food and get enough exercise to appear as healthy. Many female models are anorexic, and do not get proper nutrition. This causes them to appear very thin and unhealthy. Most male models work out on an almost daily basis and get enough calories and nutrition to be considered healthy. They have to eat to be able to work out to the extent that they do. Many female models just choose not to eat.
14. Because with men, size, age, height, weitght, don't really matter. A winning smile and great hair is all you need! Society has made us believe that only skinny, tall, makeup covered women are pretty. That's why female models often look extreamely bony, pale, fake, and lifeless. The only way for them to look 'pretty' is to starve themselves and have surgery and needles and whatnot. It's a shame really ): Everyone is beautifal in there own special way but people still think that whats on the outside is the most important ):
15. Good question! D"
