Oh God why.

After numerous surgeries, Valeria Lukyanova, a 21-year-old Ukranian, has finally achieved her dream of being plastic a real-life Barbie doll.

There's a lot of crazy inconsitencies in those images (though I suppose that could be from different times between surgeries).

Is that all it takes? There's no kind of psychological evaluation needed before this kind of surgery takes place? I mean, this goes well beyond plastic surgery. This a god damn reconstruction. She looks like an alien species you'd find in Mass Effect.

I think people are put of by how unnaturally thin her waist is in proportion to the rest of her, as well as her unusually flat face, high hairline, and large eyes. It's not that she looks bad, she falls into the uncanny valley where something just isn't quite right, and this induces an uneasiness.

I'd hit it, though. I have no shame

And now someone absolutely MUST give her the Steve Buscemi treatment.

I would honestly have to know more about her before I would commit. Sure, she has worked really hard on her appearance and now possesses an incredible figure (and a guaranteed spot in the live action version of Toy Story), but if all she talks about for 12hrs/day is Barbie This and Barbie That, then that's really going to grate on anyone, no matter how much lust they started out with. I'll admit she raises my eyebrows, and she's really got it going on, it's just not going in my direction, if you know what I mean.

Say what we will, if she manages her image well enough, she should be able to permanently retire in 10-15 years and be set for life. And that might be "worth it" for her.

She has such dead eyes.

After looking through some of those Facebook pictures, she is either photoshopping her eyes or she wears those oversized contacts that Asians/cosplayers wear, maybe both. Some are obviously contacts, some less so, but it's hard to tell with the image size/quality.

-edit-
Looking at some more pictures, I noticed there's some odd bits of blurry-ness around the eyes on some of them. It's not absolute proof, but it can be a tell-tale sign of someone messing around with Photoshop.

You are categorically incorrect, at least on my part. The fact that anyone would find a human being that is that non-human looking cute makes me somewhat disturbed about how our culture views women and what is considered attractive.

I mean that in all seriousness.

I don't think she looks inhuman. In fact, all she's done is increase the very human factors that heterosexual males are naturally attuned to for various evolutionary reasons. She is the McDonald's fries of female anatomy. We love them because they're fatty and salty, which in days of sparser food, our bodies learned to love. She has big boobs, hips, and smooth skin. These ARE attractive features, and it's not our society necessarily. It's our genes. I'm not going to apologize for finding those things attractive, and frankly I'm sick of constantly being told I should. None of that is to say that being attracted to her is good for her or us, just like the McDonald's fries. But you shouldn't feel horrible about your life or your culture for finding her attractive.

As a side note: does it objectify a woman to look at her that way? Yep. Is that a bad thing? Well, no, unless you're blind or know how to violate causality and get to know a woman personally before perceiving her as an object. Especially when she's a static set of internet pictures. We all objectify each other. It's when that is the extent of your perception of another human being that it becomes a bad thing.

I disagree yet again, that woman does not look like she could bear a child. Her hips are incredibly narrow. The only "genetically predisposed" feature she has is big boobs. Everything else is culturally motivated.

No. You are incorrect, and frankly offensive. That is an expression of physical attraction, which I went to great pains to point out was all we had to go on at this point. You stripped off all the relevant supporting text to make your point. I will not apologize for being physically attracted to a woman. I will not apologize for feeling an urge to have sexual intercourse with an woman I find physically attractive. I will refuse to succumb to some mentality that this is a "bad thing", simply because I don't know anything else about her, nor can I control that base feeling even if I wanted to. I worded in a crude fashion for humor, but that should be read as "I am sexually attracted to this physical, objective representation of a woman". I have no way of doing anything else at this point, as I noted. No one does. The sentence that you isolated was to make the point that if that's all you ever did, it becomes a bad thing. I will not apologize for finding an image of a woman attractive, and frankly, I don't like the implication that I objectify women because I made a 3-word comment that I found an image of a woman sexually attractive, implying that that's all I do with women. That's a heavy judgement to levy based on three words.

I have kept my temper on this forum for quite a long time, but this is angering me.

I can't (and won't attempt to) speak for Pez here, but your use of the phrase "bite me," makes it seem like you think that it's a bad thing to want to sleep with this woman, and are acknowledging this fact and telling anyone who agrees that this is a bad thing that you don't care what they think and are going to do it anyway, which is how "bite me" is frequently used. To be honest, in some way, we're all objectifying this woman. Some of us are objectifying her by saying that we are attracted to her. Some of us are objectifying her by saying we're not attracted to her. Sin is the only person that stands out in my mind as specifically not objectifying her, in that she's expressed concern for the woman's mental health and whether or not she was counseled before deciding to undergo these drastic surgeries. I don't care if you're objectifying her, and I don't care if you feel an urge to sleep with her, but don't get all high and mighty, holier than thou for being called out for a tl/dr that expresses that you feel that society (in this case, the board) would have an issue with you admitting your attraction. Hell, for all I know Pez could be calling it a bad thing because the common meme is that you hate everything, and therefore, if you want to have sex with her, having sex with her must be a bad thing. And if you really, really don't want people to respond to one sentence while ignoring the rest of your post, don't use a tl/dr summary statement in the first place.

No, bite me was used to mean "I don't care if you disagree with my attraction to her which quite a few people have already expressed in this thread". I've always used it that way. I honestly don't know of anyone who doesn't use it that way. It has nothing to do whatsoever with my own opinion. It has to do with everyone else's that were already given here. Of course me finding her attractive is objectification. That was the whole point of my original post! The point of that whole post was that objectification isn't a bad thing unless that's all you do to women. Not if that's all you do to this woman, because that's all we can do, since all I have are pictures.

Also, how is being offended at being called something horrible "high and mighty"?

Honestly, cooling down, it wasn't even really FigmentPez specifically. It's more this steadily blooming idea that people should somehow shackle their feelings of attraction, especially attraction to women, if that attraction happens to be purely physical. Why? There is nothing wrong with it. I'm not going to mentally castrate and blind myself until I know a woman's innermost desires and thoughts. That stuff is lovely, too. You can have both.


#122

PatrThom

I don't think she looks inhuman. In fact, all she's done is increase the very human factors that heterosexual males are naturally attuned to for various evolutionary reasons.
Like Fade says, there are certain characteristics that your brain automatically recognizes as "feminine" and "attractive" and responds accordingly. Some are cultural/"learned" and others are inherent. A guy with long hair and nail polish wearing lipstick would certainly look out of place, but it would only be because (current) society does not view these things as "masculine" (Human society, that is. In other species, it is more often the male who gets the colorful plumage and puts on the mating display). Pronounced breasts, wider hips, a more rounded forehead, slighter frame, higher voice, "hairless" face...these are the biologically dictated feminine characteristics. I expect Amy can serve as "expert witness" on these.

Many studies have been done about "feminine" v. "masculine" faces. I've mentioned my fascination with attraction/fetish/obsession before (it's a hobby). I've read summaries of no small amount of studies (in mainstream media, no access to journals). Here is a good one from Discover magazine (which unfortunately has lost its pictures, but they can be found over at this PBS page) which suggests that, when femininity is exaggerated beyond the norm, attractiveness still continues to rise. Sure, there is a threshold beyond which some people start to get creeped out (no doubt analogous to the Uncanny Valley), and as the knob keeps getting turned higher and higher, more will drop off, but there will still be those who Just Can't Get Enough or who have become so desensitized that, like any addict, they require stronger doses to get the same effect.

Consider the following picture (spoilered for people who work with prudes):
barbie.jpg
Now I'm almost positive the first thought in everyone's mind will be "obviously fake." Yes, it's theoretically possibly someone could genetically look like this, but the odds are even slimmer than she is. The eyes/eyebrows are enhanced with makeup, the hair is probably dyed/extensions, she has acrylic tips, probably some dental work, some tummy work (or else she's really sucking it in for the photo), and then there's the whole issue about the authenticity of her tan and bo0bs* (those are not "breasts," they are "b0obs*."

Some people will be turned right off by her unnatural appearance. These are probably going to be the people who have "normal" expectations and haven't had their boundaries stretched (by p0rn*, by the media, by ads, etc). For others, I'm betting I could fire up Photoshop, slim down her legs, inflate her chest, make her eyes and lips a little bigger, lengthen her neck a bit, and not lose a substantial number more from my act of caricature. In fact, some would probably take the resulting image and alter it even more for their own private enjoyment, even though I might consider it downright frightening.

In summary, pretty much everyone likes chocolate. There are also people who like chocolate-covered brownies, people who like chocolate-covered brownies with chocolate chips and chocolate ice cream, and then there are people who will take a chocolate chip-covered flourless chocolate cake, fill it with molten fudge, serve it with shaved bitter chocolate and sitting in a bowl of mousse, and still ask you to dust it with cocoa until it looks like a Columbian Sahara**.

The difference between a feeling whether it is natural or not and what is going on in the thread is the posting about it. If you post about stuff it is going to be judged by other people. If you can't handle that it is probably best just to keep the feeling a feeling and not a post.

To me there is a difference between "I find her sexually attractive" and "I'd have sex with her." I realize that many people intend the latter to have the same meaning as the former, but it doesn't. Be sexually attracted to her, fine, but if you'd actually have sex with her knowing nothing more than you know now, then it's a bad thing because image is the extent of your interaction with her. If you wouldn't actually have sex with her, then don't say you would.

If you wouldn't actually have sex with her, then don't say you would.
Perhaps the more correct phrase, then, would be that Fade is, "...more likely to entertain the possibility of getting to know her better due to his initial impression," or "...inclined to fast-track her to the second interview based on her most immediately apparent qualifications and the way she carries herself."

You can't tell me that there isn't a physical element to every interview, even those that don't involve potential hanky-panky further on down the line.

I can say with all honesty that I've never known anyone to use that phrase in anything but a jocular manner with any other meaning than they find someone sexually attractive. I don't think anyone really uses it to mean they'd hop in the sack without certain other criteria being met. I can't say definitively that I wouldn't just participate in sexual intercourse as long as the attraction was mutual and friendly. I certainly wouldn't want robot sex with some empty shell.

Quite frankly, and I know this will draw a ton of "disagrees" from people, but you SHOULD feel bad about wanting to have sex with women who are perpetuating an unrealistic body type for women. You are literally part of the reason that women become anorexic in the first place. When I see men drooling over women who are obviously unhealthy (you tell me that waist is healthy and you're just fooling yourself), it really does piss me off because I know so many women (who aren't fat to begin with, BTW) who have constantly battled with this image of anorexic models.

Sorry but I had to be a disagree-er here. Look, it's totally fine for a guy to say to himself "hey, I don't want to perpetuate these false standards", and it's also ok for a guy who sees another guy beating a woman step in and stop it. But (assuming you are a guy) what you are talking about here is a sanctimonious white-knighting that assumes a moral authority based on a perspective you don't even have, that of a woman.

Another thing, and this is definitely going to piss some people off, but something I've noticed quite a bit w/ the sanctimonious white-knights out there. More often than not it seems to be something a guy does to represent himself as a "good guy" to the women he is around, because he wants to sleep with them.

A lot of the guys don't appreciate this at the time, because they aren't self aware enough to appreciate that their compassion is just their own cowardly/passive aggressive way to bed a woman, but when they get older and/or change their ways they understand it more.

According to popular media, all you need to do is have a drunken night where she sees past everything she currently had a reason not to date you and you'll have a rocky relationship that will end dramatically after which you'll realize a little too late what caused the relationship to change where you will go through a small montage of bettering yourself without showing her, when one day she'll run across you, seeing how successful you've become without doing it to impress her and it'll impress her anyway and you'll drive off happily toward a sunset with an open ending on the story to be judged by those who knew it.

I've known girls who I thought were drop-dead gorgeous, who I ended up not attracted to (at all) because of their personality; and I've known girls who I thought were only average looking, until I got to know them and then thought they were stunningly beautiful.

Well, I'm very different. Not all physical attraction to me is sexual. There certainly are women whose appearance tends to elicit sexual thoughts (and I try not to encourage or dwell on said thoughts), but there are also women who I find very beautiful but who don't cause a sexual reaction. There are quite a few women who I'd love to spend time around, and think are beautiful, but whom I don't hold either romantic or sexual attraction for. They're lovely, and quite often have pleasant personalities as well, but there just isn't any sort of spark.

I had hoped that taking things so far out of context would make it clear that I was mocking the turn of phrase, and not the person who said it.

It smelt kinda Charlie, which I'd what drew the reaction it did.

Well, I'm very different. Not all physical attraction to me is sexual. There certainly are women whose appearance tends to elicit sexual thoughts (and I try not to encourage or dwell on said thoughts), but there are also women who I find very beautiful but who don't cause a sexual reaction. There are quite a few women who I'd love to spend time around, and think are beautiful, but whom I don't hold either romantic or sexual attraction for. They're lovely, and quite often have pleasant personalities as well, but there just isn't any sort of spark.


Yeah yeah yeah, you're in this whole deeper realm when it comes to sex and women and rules of attraction. You hold yourself to a higher standard than other slobs and assholes. "You're not the typical kind of guy"


You're so full of shit that it's oozing out of my monitor.

Also, I'm just as sick of this body image thing permeating male culture as well, as that disturbing ab thing illustrates.
Eh, it's not really an issue in the straight community. I mean, I'm not in the best shape (not fat but not cut) and I have a full beard and a lot of body hair, things that are "out" at the moment. But women still go for me.

See this time I remembered that you were gay.

I dunno if he's full of shit as much as somethingelse. Strange things happen to one's mentality when they go that long without sex. It's against the human nature of a male for starters, human nature for almost everyone actually. Your body eventually turns on your brain and well, wires get fried man.

Disagree with it all you want Fig, it's not an opinion that it's human nature to want to procreate, and not just with one individual. Your brain may tell you that it's wrong etc etc but nature = nature.

No offense meant figmentPez , it's just that I actually do take offense when people explain their actions due to religion. Good or bad. You should be a good or bad person just because it's within you to be that way, not because a book/preacher told you to be.

Yes you are, however there will be times, whether he means it or not, that he'll fantasize or even briefly think of procreating with someone else. The thing that makes him a good husband/partner is that he doesn't act on his nature.

The part that I was talking about not being mentally healthy is a completely sexually devoid lifestyle.

Try probably every 15 seconds! And that goes for her too. There is probably not one day that goes by where either consciously or subconsciously you don't want to fuck the shit out of someone you saw out on the street.

Biology says monogamy is the biological copout of evolution's losers and women were made (or rather, evolved for) cheatin'.

In other words, tiger woods screws everything he can because he can. You don't because you can't.

However, that's just the biological angle. There's also a societal angle which, on a number of different fronts, exists to repress actions based solely on biological impulse.

i like how instead of growing a pair and making his argument, he's passive-aggressively labeling posts he doesn't like with his "disagree" stamp.

Sorry, bud. The male brain is wired for wanting to bone pretty much every female you encounter. The main reason why a heterosexual male might not be attracted at all to Barbie zilla in the OP is because she's sporting some pretty shitty child bearing hips. Otherwise, big boobs, big eyes, hourglass figure - she's got what is deemed attractive by nature.

I could swear I read some where that some women actually change biology when satisfied in a relationship, I could be remembering incorrectly though.

Mathias - Religion will always disagree with Science because it destroys the entire facade that it uses to control it's masses. I've said a thousand times that I have no problem with people who use religion to better themselves, but to cling to it in the face of factual disagreement is just mind blowing.

Seriously kiddo, I know you've up to your eyeballs in issues, physical/mental but this is just beyond that. You'll note that I've never made fun of you or your problems, but for you to disagree with posts that are not even attacking you, simply stating proven Scientific fact make you look very ignorant and close minded.

Furthermore I want to say that it's not inconceivable that, if fervent enough, religious belief could alter one's cognition enough to change (or even eliminate) your sexual impulses. After all, psychological conditioning is nothing to sneeze at, and really what IS organized religion other than incessant psychological conditioning starting from day one? If you can quit smoking, a scientifically recognized chemical addiction, by having the act mentally/psychologically associated with something disgusting, you can do so on matters sexual as well. This is not to say what is right, wrong, or natural... just... possible.

Actually, the hourglass figure is contrary to biological motives. Having a waist that thin is again not conducive to childbirth. One of the reasons Marilyn Monroe is held up as the pinnacle of beauty is because she does have all those features that make her ideal for having kids. Funny thing is that she wouldn't even get a modelling contract today.

Well no, the hourglass figure is an exaggeration of the naturally desirable large child-bearing hips.

Barbie is an exaggeration. Big eyes, big boobs, and big hips.
