First of all there are probably about 100,000 girls in the world hotter than the winner here. She was just a classic blonde person and not really attractive just that stereotypical thing. Anyhow Ireland (the country of the winner) has nothing compared to the beauty of say Finland, and look how badly Finland is represented. I was disappointed with the Phillipines, as the girls there are simply fine, however Thailand, although bearing many females finer than their girl, was fairly represented. Anyhow subconsciously I pick all far eastern countries even prior to seeing them.
Hah this contest is funny, with all that ‘women are not objects to be stared at, prized, abused etc.’!
I also found the way in which they state their education funny. And their ambitions within 10 years when we all know what they will be doing.
My top 10 (in no order):
Miss Argentina
Miss China
Miss Chinese Taipei
Miss Hungary (mainly because of that uniquely evil picture and her behind on that wallpaper red bikini picture)
Miss India
Miss Israel -Are you employed? - “No.” - Lovely!
Miss Japan
Miss Korea (Damn!! I wish I knew an elegant expression of this Latinly!)
The Miss World line up is terrible. What’s going on. The only pleasing one is Iceland. I prefer Miss Universe. Although Miss World
was in glorious China.
Best answer:
What is your proudest personal accomplishment (other than representing your country in this pageant)?
Saying no to cigarettes, alcohol, and drugs. I have never in my life tried any of these things.
Miss Iceland
hahahaha excellent response. I believe you. I’d also like to state how fair Iceland’s girls are. Why this one? Nevertheless she deserves it all for that line!
If you think yourself hard enough, give us your tope 10, be it from Miss World 2003 or Universe 2003; yet I suggest Miss Universe as there are more from which to choose.
Valete (cupio ut plura dicere potuissem…e.g. has omnes litteras latiná)
…N’importe…
Absolutely. Being too thin is a major turnoff. I don’t WANT to see her abs. Those muscles should only be seen on men’s bodies. I want to see smoothness, if I have to leave it on a physical plane.
You can’t get that thin naturally.
S
It’s fair if they are seen but not too clearly as that is quite disgusting.
By contrast those who are already obese eating far too much and not realising/not caring are not good for themselves…
Women always talk about equality etc. Well women are meant to have some meat on them it’s for nature’s sake. If women find it hard and complain go tell the men who spend hours in the gym to become what they should be. It’s annoying that girls are born with it but men have to work for it. But I suppose we should be out hunting mammoths.
You are such an instigator Does it really matter what our bodies are meant to do, if we don’t do those things anymore? But I do agree that it is unfair when we are asked to loosen our standards for women when men still must uphold their side of the old etiquette and be physically fit.
I mean no one thinks bodybuilders are attractive (like a few muscles are, but bodybuilders are ugly and only mad ‘she-bodybuilders’ think they’re attractive). No one thinks men should have to look perfect like, but women (well at least we always think everyone thinks we should look perfect).
And it’s not too difficult and very healthy do to some sport at least and try to eat a healthy diet (I think women should do so, too). Obesity is an illness it’s not good for you.
But all this extreme perfection is just terrible. It’s not very natural to be thin and have big breast, so women feel terrible, at least all men have to do is a bit of sport… it’s also easier for men to loose weight than it is for women (something to do with the way women’s bodies love to save fat, but don’t like to burn it).
Maybe all this fitness studio stuff is something very American, benissimus, because not too many guys here go to the bother of building up their muscles like that, the most they do is play football (with a round ball).
I think men should loosen their standards, it’s just plain depressing always trying to look like some perfect photoshoped model, and I don’t see men being that depressed about not looking like Brad Pitt.
Lol, that reminds me of some guy, who was complaining about having to shave everyday like. I told him I have to shave everyday, too, and have much more to shave - he’d never thought of that, what an idiot.
I don’t understand people who try to look that way…I keep myself tidy and healthy, don’t overeat, work outside a lot, etc., but I don’t try for society’s idea of “perfection.” (I actually think it’s rather ugly.)
As the author of workout software and someone who enjoys working out, I am a bit biased, but I don’t understand why it is considered bad to take care of one’s physical appearance and abilities. Did the Greeks or Romans hold this view?
For me, squatting a record amount is just as much an achievement as mastering a new set of latin grammar and vocabulary.
I think what the average woman’s ideal preference is for a man to have a body like a men’s health model.
Many men do get depressed about not looking like brad pitt. Look around the net - there are all kinds of forums and things for men who go to great lengths attempting to be more attractive.
At the risk of being politically incorrect, I have to admit that I’m not sure women are entirely honest about what they want.
Women tend to have higher body fat levels due to having higher relative estrogen:testosterone levels. Estrogen is the culprit there. A woman having too little fat will cause problems having kids (amongst other things). The “ripped” look on women is very unhealthy. I don’t think many men consider female bodybuilders to be attractive.
In the case of men, the ripped look is also below the ideal health level, but that is what’s preferred visually by the media and apparently by many girls. (Ideal health is 12-15% bodyfat, visual ideal is ~ 8%).
I think it largely depends on where you live. Here, men aren’t held to nearly the same standards by the media as women are. Men here do work out and try to look good, but the pressure can’t in any way compare to that on women, and the evidence is in the vast numbers of females with eating disorders and other related disorders (such as self-mutilation). Sure, eating disorders exist among men as well, but on a far, far smaller scale.
You can see it even in something as simple as cereal commercials. The husbands almost always are slightly “chubby” (really just healthy) while the wives depicted are almost invariably thin, regardless of how many children are running around. And that is the standard. It’s only very recently that we have begun to see more normal women represented in advertising.
Firstly I’m not queer so I don’t know whether Brad Pitt be pretty or not. Furthermore I agree with Emma, it is Americans mostly. Yet most americans are fat mothers. Not mothers literally. Well some of them are.
Anyway, press ups are by much harder than squats.
To be honest I like those that people like R Kelly employ in his videos. Those Japanese looking black women with big behinds but not too big.
Very thin things are not healthy. Not at all. I am ignorant and don’t understand the girls who are frighteningly thin and think it to be fair and refuse to eat. Eat something!
When Jaffa Cakes are in the house I have an eating disorder. I tell my mother not to buy them. Not because I’ll become fat, I never put on any weight apart from natural growth, but because I feel like pig. But at least that’s only one food. Do they still have lime flavour jaffa cakes where you at? Or strawberry…ah lime why cancel lime…
Shut up Episcopus. This isn’t the first time you have made sick and generalizing statements like this. You cannot tell me everyone here is fat when I myself live here and it is clearly not the case. I am getting very annoyed and insulted by your unbridled insults and occasional release of subtle racism and sexism. Do you see ANYONE here attacking you in any way, shape, or form? Then why do you feel this need to attack so many people freely (or is it that evil in American blood you were talking about on MSN)?
I realize episcopus is somewhat entertaining at times, but this kind of talking should not be tolerated here, on a learning site devoted to the Humanities and Classics. Episcopus, keep it to yourself, because I am certainly keep my opinions about you to myself.
so you are assuming that all these comments are my true beliefs whilst I talk passionately about the revival of lime and strawberry jaffa cakes?
you probably have every flavour where you are.
en plus, it’s unfair to dig up that thread because I did apologised for that.
This is an open board casual thread for recreational purposes; less than true comments are meant to be abundant and harmless remarks hurt no one. Moreover things that you have said to me have been unacceptable too, however I don’t dig them up like a fat dog.

Do females actually like that amount of muscle
Does it really matter what our bodies are meant to do, if we don’t do those things anymore? But I do agree that it is unfair when we are asked to loosen our standards for women when men still must uphold their side of the old etiquette and be physically fit.
