Default I always wondered why I was never attracted to fashion/pageant models

Then I started perusing through the site below and it all became clear:

http://www.femininebeauty.info/fem.vs.masculine.htm
NSFW

Basically, the author of this site argues that (European) fashion/pageant models have masculinized bodies and facial features that heterosexual men do NOT find attractive (ie Heidi Klum, Giselle Bundchen). The author of the site argues this is due to the domination of these industries by women and homosexual men. He further argues this in large part is why heterosexual men are driven to watching porn/"glamour" modeling, because this medium shows us women we are actually attracted to.

For the record, the most important feature to me is the WHR. Almost irregardless of other features, I subconsciously rate women with good hourglass figures as highly attractive. For example, in the link above I find the woman on the right in figure 12 to be more attractive than just about any fashion model I can think of off the top of my head, despite this woman being flat.)

Looks like a research was caught looking at porn and came up with this paper to cover his tracks.

Or the researcher was looking at porn one day and asked himself, "Why do I look at porn so much and why am I so much more attracted to women in porn than fashion models and pageant winners."

Either way, answer is the same.

Don't forget that fashion models are essentially glorified clothes hangers- No designer would want to show clothes having to deal with a more curvy woman. The Victoria's Secret stuff is essentially glamor modeling, not high fashion BTW, and I don't know why you don't like Giselle....

The opinions cited above are not my own, but belong to the author of the web site (although I do happen to agree with many of his points). On his site the author acknowledges the Victoria Secret stuff is glamour modeling, which is why he believes supermodels should not be doing it, because they do not have the right type of bodies.

In the case of Giselle, she just does not have the type of body that I find most attractive. As far as I can tell her best feminine attributes are that she is tall with large breasts and fine facial features. However, as I said above I am personally most attracted to a curvy figure, which she definitely does not possess.

Disclaimer** I readily acknowledge that I am nothing special and neither Giselle or any other supermodel would ever give me the time of day, much less have sex with me. I am not implying such women are not good enough for me or that I would turn them down if given a chance. I am merely stating I do not find most models especially attractive because they do not have what I consider an attractive figure.

You need to label things like this as NSFW

The original post says NSFW on it, and the website linked to says NSFW. Perhaps the redundancy confused you and caused you to cancel it out in your mind. If that is the case, I apologize.

My mistake man the thread title does not say NSFW.

The link did though so chalk it up to me being an idiot.

I don't find Gisele attractive because I've never seen her smile.
