Barbie with a normal woman's body

[huedell]

I like Barbie, Not blonde snookie.........It's a doll for little girls. I don't see real men Ken dolls with balding heads and fat guts.......

This philosophy seems to show a double standard to me.

Maybe I'm not interpreting the dimensions of the real-proportioned Barbie correctly?

But, to me, the real-proportioned Barbie looks like a skinny hot chick while the actual Barbie looks a bit inhuman all around.

For "a male doll with the look of aging (i.e. balding) men and pot-bellied/fat men" to be on par with "what simply looks like a hot young woman doll who doesn't happen to have the freak-like body proportions of a specific unrealistic toy"... it just seems puzzling.

And KW, it's your post that I'm quoting, but you don't seem to be the only one leaning in this direction.

Men are weird when it comes to perceived female beauty.

Nine guys out of 10 will say Betty Rubble is hot, but if she existed in real life she would be grotesque.

She did exist in movies and they got it right with Jane Krakowski.....the first time they used rosie o'donnell SMH....that was a bit WTH moment....

QUE???????

Fair enough... but my post can be summed the same. I don't get your original post. You didn't get mine. Mike did though.

I'll say it a different way.

I think that in your original post, you essentially said (in so many words) that Britney Spears and Dennis Franz were on the same level of visual attractiveness.

Again.... "puzzling".

What I meant was....Barbie was designed for little girls to play with that's it......people worry too much about a pretty plastic doll.

Well, yes, *that* I understand *and* agree with wholeheartedly. Werewolf (poster) explained the mechanics of that, and it makes perfect sense to me. I guess it's the prettiness of the OTHER doll that complicated the issue with how I looked at your original post.

.....the first time they used rosie o'donnell.....

She was originally going to play a Brontosaurus, but then her stupid agent got involved and the role of Betty was soiled.
