This reminds me of a conversation we had in math class in high school. We got into the whole discussion of what is attractive. Turned out that a lot of the other girls were jealous of me because I was so skinny. (Almost anorexic-looking at the time, I've thankfully put on a wee bit more since then!)

I argued that I'd look better with at *least* twenty more pounds. Everyone said I looked fine, including the guys. Then I turned to the guys and said, ok, add a little more padding overall, add just a little definition in the muscles of my arms and legs, and add a little more on the hips. Almost all the guys in the room practically fell over and started drooling. Proved my point pretty well.

My theory is that it isn't the actual physical shape of the models that is attractive, it's the attitude in the poses (which are designed for a certain effect on the viewer), the certainty and confidence that they are attractive, and the blankness of the model which allows us to project our fantasies on them. But we get all that confused with their actual looks.

Beauty is much more elusive than only physical structure. It's attitude, movement, mystery, confidence, and using the shape you have. If you do all that, it doesn't matter what your shape is.
