Supermodel vs athletic – who do you want to look like?

Would you rather look like a supermodel or an athlete?

I was in the magazine section of the shops the other day and I started flicking through the girly fashion mags and felt very bored. Now let me put into context, it seemed like page after page was filled with stick thin girls with vacant expressions. I couldn’t imagine liking let alone wearing any of the clothes they were wearing because they seemed so far removed from reality.

This isn’t a tirade against the fashion industry promoting sickly thin models, that topic has been done to death. Plus, what is normal? Have we become such an obese society that plus size is now the norm and should be promoted? I’ll steer away now before I get myself in trouble.

The thing about the magazines that got me is, what do we actually believe to be attractive? Is it what we think men want us to be or how we view ourselves and other women?

When I think attractive and sexy when it comes to women I think of someone like Jessica Biel, now there is one foxy lady! She works hard for her body and it shows. A body like that doesn’t just happen, she trains hard and I find that inspiring. When you look at her she screams health and fitness and looks pretty much capable of doing anything. So for more inspiration I have provided some more pics below.

Would you rather look like a skeleton covered in skin or a strong healthy woman?
