Men Are So… Into Page Three

What is it with men and topless women? I just don’t understand why they insist of having them plastered all over their wall / computer / phone and calendars… it’s bad enough that we can’t open a tabloid without staring at someone’s breasts every morning, but how would blokes feel if page two of every newspaper was a picture of a naked fella?

Does anyone else find it unnerving when you’re sat there with a guy, thinking about how you could murder a pizza and a glass of wine, and all you can see is a teeny-waisted girl staring back at you, gloating; “I’m fitter than you.”

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve got nothing against these girls, my fellow columnist Karly Ashworth is probably the prettiest page three girls I’ve ever seen, and I know there’s no way on earth my man would have a chance with her, but I still don’t like the idea that he looks at these teeny women with perfect skin and hair and nails and bums and boobs whilst I’m waddling around with my non-tanned skin and wondering why I can’t live up to them?

Someone said to me last night; “Memphis, the more weight you lose, the less confident you become.” And I think it’s true… but no matter how hard I try, I’ll never be like them, does that mean I’m not enough?

About Memphis

Hello ladies! Do you constantly find yourself saying "Men are so…" after the latest love interest failed to text you back / slept with another woman / just turned out to be completely undateable for reasons you can't fathom? Yes, me too. So I've decided to share my love mishaps with you all in the hope of proving that we're not alone in our grumbles OR in the secret hope that there IS a man out there who won't turn into a total douche.

    I would like to say that the only reason i look at Page 3 Models is because i am very interested in their opinions on Irans Nuclear programme. Hope that clears things up.

    Men like to look at beautiful women and I’m no exception. However, it’s a mistake to think that men are only interested in looks. I love my girlfriend…flaws and all. It’s very telling that you only talk about appearance in your article.

    Don’t believe for a minute that this is a one-way street. Men are exposed to male gender stereotypes all day long (fitness magazine cover models, perfume adverts, Hollywood actors who spent the last six months in the gym to prepare for a role etc.)

    The portrayal of celebs and models in the media isn’t going to change, so I’d suggest you have a heart-to-heart with your boyfriend about it. You’ll probably find that he doesn’t want a woman he can put on a pedestal in real life – he just wants you.

    Take care,

    Dave

    “hope that there IS a man out there who won’t turn into a total douche”

    Seriously, why don’t you just stop it already with your male-hating. It’s women like you that are responsible for all the negativity against maleness over the Western world.

    You know why men like to see “boobies”? Because men are visually attracted to women. This is what men are born with and women DON’T have. That’s why you can understand it. Maybe we don’t understand you! That doesn’t make you wrong just because men don’t understand women. And it doesn’t mean men are wrong because they are different as women. It means we are…….. different.

    Basically you are saying you are incapable of understanding people who are different as you, immediately labeling them as “douches”. You know what, I think YOU are a douche.
