You can never get a body like this

I know photographers photoshop a little to remove skin imperfections. But now a days they are completely changing the body shape and height in photoshop to create a very unrealistic image and yet people believe that is the ideal body and strive to achieve it. What do you think? Watch this video. You will know what I am talking about.

    It is sad, I model for fun... not professionally or anything but with professional photographers, graphic designers, and marketing companies. All the photos I'm in are retouched (lighting and blemishes, ect), but I don't work with anyone who changes body shape or anything like that. I'm proud of how I look as I am, and feel that every woman should be able to.

    It is very sad - unfortunately many people (women AND men) spend a large amount of time and resources on perfecting to achieve the near- impossible. Instead, perfection should be an individual perception based on (again) individual resources, time, genetics, and age.

    Maybe the most successful thing I can do as a father of daughters is teach them that this 'standard' is a load of crap.

    It seems like a little too much.
