What a Dove REAL MEN Campaign would look like

Erin_goBrahScience

This is an interesting photo series by Photographer Jenny Francis, real men are given the "Real Beauty" treatment and are posed as famous male models.

It's posed constantly that women are often bombarded by images of perfection in the media. Are men affected in a similar way? Part of me thinks that maybe men don't look at other men the way women look at other women. I'm not a man so I'm not really sure. But I'd like to hear their thoughts on the subject.

Yeah...I need some pot bellies going on. Manorexia is popular for the same reason as anorexia is for women. I like my men muscley, but I also like for them to look like they like to eat...thats just me though

I can look at all these men & not give it much thought. Dudes ripped on the right< I can appreciate as I know it take dedication, dudes on the left. Attractive and looking confident...cool by me. Any of the pics would work fine in marketing if I was polled on the subject.

As far as women and the media. I have a sharp attitude against much of it. I can look at a woman the same way I just looked at the men and feel the same way as far as marketing goes. I don't really believe all the hype that the media has that much power. I know women are strong minded, and I find it humorous at times that a picture can alter their thoughts on themselves. Although I do understand how someone shaming them that proclaims to love them can alter there feelings by a particular individual.

The little guy on the left....can I keep him?
My kids would love to have a Hobbit.

As to the OP....despite my joke.
I personally don't let the media dictate to me what I like or dislike in my appearance or a female body.

The thing is I don't think any of the "real" guys are unattractive. In fact I'm more surprised by the fact that i think the ginger is a little cute.

Yeah, I was actually thinking that I'm pretty happy to look as good as those guys after dropping almost 20 lbs. Sure not what this "real man" looked like not too long ago.

No marketing campaign would make me buy Dove soap. That's for chicks. I need stuff with pumice and ground up leaves in it. That leaves me smelling neither fruity nor flowery. Although ginger is ok. Because you can cook with ginger. Actually any food smell would be good now that i think of it. Except cauliflower...

I love the guy in the group pic with the shaved head. He's totally got his Vogue on! :laugh:

I agree with what a lot of people are saying, both sets of guys are attractive for their own reasons.
