Japanese girls using their legs for advertisers? x-x

[Ghost Kitty~]

Hmm... younger girls want to look older and older ones want to look younger... x.x I guess beauty is quite important for most...

 

[Rucking Fetard]

Is getting old some kind of fear for girls..?

*cough, cough*

Back to the thread's original subject plox.

 

[Rucking Fetard]

Sorry..

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Lol... well i guess this advertisement is in direct relation to their beauty?~

 

[~SnowAngel~]

For the ones wearing advertisement, I'm pretty sure they aren't the type I described :o
Completely mature girls wouldn't struggle as much with the conflicting emotions. (renano being one of them~ :P
I wouldn't say that girls are weak and need guys, that's just no how it works XD it's more of that social affirmation that says who you really are inside is what matters. A girl like that is what I'd consider strong :3 We can know something in our heads, but it doesn't make a difference if the feelings aren't supported. (marriage is kinda like that too)

so I'm not saying knee socks with ads is a horrible thing, it's just the subtle message behind it that affirms an idol about women in general. What is it that is valuable in girls to guys? This new method promotes more of a body image than personality. Being pretty means nothing if the person has a dirty heart :/

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Well its not like the guys who just look will actually get to know the girl that way? Looks are just the first impression and they actually have to talk or communicate somehow if theyre to get to know each other~ The girls might actually wear the same attire even without ads so the addition of that ad does nothing more than get them a bit of money~ Though you seem quite against miniskirts and other revealing outfits in general... As you said, looks have nothing to do with personality (which i view as quite a bit more important?) but knowing personality means that they actually have to spend some time to get to know each other... Anyhow im just sort of confused how half the stuff you said even connects... I feel like youre not quite telling us everything in your train of thought and only giving random weakly connected chunks of info...

As they say, clothes make the person.

How you present yourself will be the first inclination as to whether or not you're someone worth considering to know better.

Some nice knee-high socks will gather attention and then later, perhaps they'll learn about their true personalities.

Or I'm wrong.

 

[Rucking Fetard]

I'm not good at these kinds of things

 

[renano]

Eh... it's just me being slightly analytical. Haha~

Advertising is key to success.

I'd like to see an ad with guys wearing them instead. Although, I've seen plenty of Japanese guys on NND cross-dressing and looking even prettier than females. xD

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Hmm clothing having to do with presentation... i guess ill seem like quite the mess then x3 Either way the personality doesnt actually factor in until later on~

Cross dressing... xD I do wonder what the reactions of the people looking would be x3

 

[~SnowAngel~]

Though you seem quite against miniskirts and other revealing outfits in general

It really depends on what it is and the motives behind it x-x I can't relly give a dictionary form of what I'd consider acceptable or not :P I think it has to do with the person on the inside more maybe x-x

I feel like you're not quite telling us everything in your train of thought

Almost every girl you'll ever meet does this.. XD try searching if you want to find out whyy

ahh I forgot all about that :o
this is what happens to you when you're not actively looking for attention from guys XD
I'm all about clothes expressing what I feel like or want to feel like for that day. I might pick something the day before but change my mind after I put it on XD

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Hmm too lazy to search but i suppose its to get guys to try and figure it out on their own? Despite the fact that people dont really think alike and need to know each other fairly well to have a decent guess of what is on the other person's mind~ Maybe theres something to hide or it was deemed unimportant but in the end it just confuses people and lowers the credibility of the writer since the thoughts just seemed to be jumbled It isnt the job of the reader to figure out what the writer wants to convey in most cases...

Spoiler: Wall of text here

I can say it varies between girl to girl, some might be okay with it while others have different feelings about that.
Society pressures girls to be sexually attractive. It's shown through the media, guys' interests, and competition/expectations from other girls. Even though they smile on the outside, they can completely be breaking on the inside. Some put their self-worth into their outward attraction, or even keeping their abusive[/b] relationships. Just because someone has a gf it doesn't mean the guy is doing the right things. If their bf is looking at other girls, it makes her feel like she's not worth looking at. Even if you're married it's the same. Girls want to be loved for their heart more than their body, but they also want to know that they're enough. But in a world where guys only look at skin, it's hard to know if a guy likes you for one or the other :/
Many guys think it's just the girl's fault or wtv for being that way. Sure, that could be the case sometimes. But unless they truly know the pressure of what being a girl feels like, try getting to know a girl's insecurities. I promise that if you say it's about wanting to have a good relationship (and it's someone you know well) they'd tell you honestly. Sometimes it just feels like guys don't care at all, even if you try telling them :/ We want guys to figure things out so that we know they're being sincere. Then there's times when they just can't or don't want to explain things since a guy will try to "fix" you. I'm not saying this for every girl out there since they're not all the same. but it is something important that most would have in common, even if they don't want to admit it. It's almost like a tug-of-war between wanting to be noticed/special to someone and being able to accept yourself. There's just some things in every girl's heart that they can't put into words.. all because of these struggles we face every day ;;

This explains more about the media: (just listen, you probly shouldn't watch x-x)

I relate to what your saying, not as a boy that I am, but hopefully with understanding. I had a big sister once, she would never even accept her little brothers love. I can understand that, since affirmations from a little boy was not that credible in her eyes.

But as any person should do, Male or Female, check your source, if you want to find what you are truly seeking. You must consider where you should seek, if seeking it in the wrong place and on the wrong terms, life might have many disappointments. I know the longings of the heart...And I also know that psychology alone is not enough for this world. Especially in world where some believe we are descendants of apes, and Love only an illusion of the mind in order to propagate. Some even label Love as a serious mental disorder !

When a large amount of evolutionist thinking population believe in only what is quantifiable, and indoctrinated by societies secularism...I don't know how well I'm able to word any of this right now but...The World will be what the world is, and the monkey will act according to its understanding.

Well the psychology of males & females are different

I disagree in that, even though thats a commonly accepted norm.
I will rather say that both genders have the same mental/psychological map, but have different starting points, and it is our destiny to grow to maturity.
e.g Girls start their journey from Antarctica, and Boys from the North Pole.

We should rather try to learn from each others, and grow more complete, we are meant for more...

As they say, clothes make the person.

Isn't there an old saying that goes: Don't judge on outwards appearances ?
All though, "appropriate" clothing can possible get you in the right place at the right time I guess in some circumstances.

Clothes makes the person ?? Maybe in Soviet Russia :D

Almost every girl you'll ever meet does this.. XD try searching if you want to find out whyy

That sounds very silly doesn't it ? You speak out against the typical girlish stereotypical roles that they conform too, and yet you place yourself in one.

If in a relationship, either with a spouse or a boyfriend, I DO understand, the seeking for affirmation if the love is real, and beyond just his mere words....Too see if his hearts actions will deny or confirm his words, and action weighing heaver than words. If he really Loves, and really Cares, his heart will reveal.

But,...Being a girl and possibly using it as an excuse to avoid clear communications is def not gonna help dealing with any typical problems a girl might feel ...For clear communications is a pillar in any relationship. But in a forum thread seeking dialog and understanding its simply counterproductive and the absolute least logical place to apply it too.

P.s. I do also understand your sentiment I think about the thread in the first place, even if you may have felt unsatisfied in your ability to define it ~?

It's not really about what they do, if they want to wear miniskirts or use their legs for advertisement right, but the underlying reason that is worrying, that reflects our state of society and the further idolizing of females as objects, and their seeking to affirm their value and worth in so many different ways, which has nothing to do with true love.

I've chosen my words as best I can, hope they are understandable.

@GenKiDan: I read your entire post. Needless to say, you have covered more of the fundamental things I was going to put out. Well done. *appluad in a polite manner.

@ ~SnowAngel~: There's a lot of sub-sections of the recent post I want to cover but it has been covered. I feel that the current society attitude to females are tedious at times. Although I wouldn't say it exclusive to females. Just the majority end up being females due to the attitudes around to world in regards to the ideals that already hardline into people mentality.

A good example is how people tend to push domestic duties to females while men is to be the major income earner (or person that feeds the household). Back in the 1900's and further back, that is the case for majority of the world due to various environment but throughout the ages, females have been piled up with more expectations while maintaining their own feminine image.

It's unfortunate, but that's what the world has become. But there's some male that becomes the role of what I mentioned in the previous paragraph, but you don't see many that goes along that path. Or better yet, does all that and more.

Regardless, I'm merely trying to post a small fraction of what I've seen and noticed in this world. Although I'm no saint, I surely can tell you that no one is perfect and it would be wonderful to find a partner that understands you for what you're worth rather than how you are on the outside.

--------------------------------------

In regards to advertising on legs. That was a interesting topic to think about and I have to tell you that there's some people in my country that was willing to have it on their heads, arms and various other body parts. Including having it tattoo on their rear to raise charity funds or something along those lines.

I have to agree with the above poster in regards to how people are treated more an object than a human being. The more people grow accustomed to needing to have something that requires money to be exchanged. The more humans tend to exchange their humanity for that object of desire.

Like how Marriage tend to be now used to gain something other than what it originally supposed to be for. To bind the two in a vow to love one another to the end of time.

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Hmm actually marriage used to be for financial gain and whatnot xD Though thats mostly for royalty and whatnot who could gain from it...

Now that i think of it... a tattoo on the leg and some logo on the pants is quite very similar... both advertisement...
