Tyra Banks and "So What?"

Ah, the newest nonsense response, right up there with "whatever!" and "Sez who?!?"

It isn't really an answer, just a way to duck an observation, question, or fact.

Tyra and her followers have started this campaign in response to the pressure on women to stay in shape. For example... "I've put on a few pounds. So what???"

Well, that's all fine if you have millions of dollars and can take care of yourself, but many women out there are relying on a "Prince Charming" to come along and rescue them, to pay off their debts and then pay their bills, allowing them to work if they want to or not.

Guess what? Generally, men are attracted to young women who are in shape (usually that means thin) and beautiful. What do men consider beautiful? Look to the mens magazines that appeal to the widest spectrum of male attraction. That's what most men are attracted to - that's why those women are on the covers and in the pictorals.

The better off a man is (in wealth/income level, which people equate with security), the more women want him.

"So what?" Well, this is what... a man who has more women who are willing to date him is more likcly to choose the most attractive women to date. And a man can't fall in love with and marry a woman he doesn't ever date. So, girls, by deciding you don't need to look after yourself, you are going to alienate yourself from the very men who could afford to pay off your debts and pay your bills.

Tyra doesn't need a man to pay her bills, but most of her viewers are hoping for just that sort of man to come into their lives.

So, to those girls that say "So What?" - I say, "So, get ready to work for the rest of your lives to pay your bills." That's what.

What if men took that attitude? What if men said "I don't need a good job or a decent car. I don't need to pay for her dinner. I'm comfortable with myself!!!"

Think about it.

You have to catch a man's eye first before he'll be able to look into your heart.
