"The Model's & The Mortal's."

H'mmm...I believe that it's time to admit now we live in a culture which promotes rather impossible standards of beauty. However, I've learned that most of us men believe it's possible. Which, I believe is the cause for most of us men to chase after model-types. Are our expectations of women just blatantly shallow? Or, has 'culture' blinded most men, to the extent where our expectations are acceptable?

Men who're 'Modelizers' are a rather particular breed of man. They're a step beyond 'Womanizers', who will sleep with just about anything in a skirt. Modelizers are obsessed, not with women, but with models, who in most places are safely confined to billboards and magazines. But, with women of Small-Town, narcissism and tramp-stamp's on the proverbial rise, actually freely roam the streets altering the Small-Town into some "Model Country Safari" where the men can pet the creatures in all their natural habitats.

What's with us (men) and superficiality? Perchance, it's time to stop expecting a 5'10 supermodel, with blonde hair and blue eyes with a rocking body to walk through the door. When some men proclaim that's what we 'need'...I couldn't help but wonder, what would that say about us in general? Obliging to such a shallow expectation for our entire lives could lead us to unspeakable places later on in life. Ending up alone is the scariest form of punishment in my opinion for such actions. Maybe, we can't help but desire perfection from the opposite sex, which I believe is understandable. However, it shouldn't be something expected. Right? Now, we are left to debate whether what we desire's achievable or not. And, debating what we should expect from women. As if we didn't have enough problems right?
