A bit of a rant.

Ok, so in school yesterday my class had our first nude model life drawing class. I was very impressed with how not awkward it all was, nothing sexual about it at all and everyone in the class was very mature and respectful. from what I saw anyways. So afterwards I was texting a friend of mine and told him that life drawing should be mandatory for men because It gives them a chance to see a naked woman in a neutral non sexual way. He replied with "hah, id still think about ****ing the broad." ...seriously?! I guess maybe I gave a little too much credit to the guys in my class? Or my friends a bit of a douche. Not really sure. I dont understand why men cant stop objectifying women. is it all guys or just the ones I happen to be friends with?

end rant.

    I feel artists have to ability to look at things with one focus. normal guys do not, they have no need too look at it artistically. I am an artist too and i love drawing from nude photos because you get a better feel of how the muscles show. my boyfriend always says "there you go looking at porn again" it kinda ticks me off :\

    You got a smart *kitten* answer from someone not taking the class.
    Don`t let that kind of anecdotal thing be a representation of all guys.
    No doubt the sex drive is high for us but it doesn`t mean that is the only thing we ever want and live our lives to that end.

    There have been threads here at MFP about shirtless guys with most ladies cheering that on so take stuff like that for the context it is in.

    I objectify men. =]

    I like it.

    ps.. If there was a hot male nude model, you would be a bit different as well.

    Even if your friend is capable of looking at a girl artistically and trying to portray that figure, he was probably just trying to be macho at you.

    Meh - He's just a guy being a guy - trying to be funny. My husband is most non-womanizing, non-douchey man I've ever met and he's always throwing out "That's what SHE said"s. Don't sweat it :)

    We are wired that way. Period. The guys in your class are serious and mature enough to not say anything. Your friend was being honest. Every straight man in the room though about it.

    yerah and women never ever objectify men lol i used to work as a cashier at a chip n dales type place and the women were way way worse than men that go to strip clubs. I remeber the male dancers would have bruises all over their thighs an *kitten* from women pinching them and stuff

    Sorry it's built into our DNA - we literally can't help it. Regarding your friend - his statement lacked originality, tact, and cleverness - for that $20 in the DB jar.

    Me too. :happy:

    Honestly, I know why you're frustrated, but we all objectify people sometimes. If there were a gorgeous guy up there, yes a part of me would appreciate how his body is constructed and how the light hit his broad shoulders and would be able to put it into an artistic perspective.

    The other part of me would be thinking naughty things, though!
