Is it absolutely neccessary to have a pair of boobs and a pert butt to sell a car to a guy?

Does seeing a hot girl on TV make you want to buy a car against your better judgement?

Is sex in advertising immoral or good marketing.

I notice there are no hot studs trying sell us girls anything. Is that because marketers think women are smarter than men?
Or do they market to us in a different way?

Look again. Tim Tam anyone?

Tims Tams?  come on -is that the best you can do? ;D

OK-- apart from Tim Tams?


Bit thin on the ground Id say

I agree entirely oceans.
The inequality of sexist advertising is boorish, eventually demeaning, divisive for both sexes.

Financially must be lunacy to appeal to only 50% of your clients.

I spend MONTHS researching my next stereo, let alone a car.


Mind you, women are very pleasant to admire.

Just recently they have started advertising makeup for men - straight men even from what I can tell.

And there are plenty of other ads with half naked oiled up men. I just can't think of any at the moment. KFC I think uses a good mix.

we do get a few hunky guys here and there-but nothing in proportion to men - as sprint said freediver.

Sprint do you really spend months researching your next stereo-- with so much to choose from, it cant be easy making an informed choice?Even then you cant be sure you got the very best bargain and or/quality item?

But IF a hot lass in a string bikini sold it to you ity would be an easy chioce.

Which is why I go for what looks nice - much easier.

yes, is nothing in comparision.  Not even within howitzer range.

I spent months listening to them. It had to fit into a physucally smallish area.
Most small ones sounds like trash.  
The music quality is inversely proportional to the number and colour of all the flashing lights on them.

The pianocraft has a button to turn the minimal lights off , supposed to enhance the sound quality !
When nerds come up with a head twisting idea like that, just buy it.

I trusted my ears.

i agree, sex sells and that's not something new.

but a women's sex appeal are used to promote products more than men. ok, apart from Tim Tam's, the sex appeal of men isn't used in advertising and KFC?? what KFC ad's are u referring to?

somehow, i don't think this is what the woman's rights movement was thinking when they wanted to be treated equally.

call me old-fashioned, but i like it when a woman dresses more since it forces me to get to know their personality rather than focus on their appearance. makes for a more stable relationship as the attraction u have is deeper than purely physical.

Compare a KFC ad with a VB ad. A VB ad has more typical blokes. You see pot bellies, moustaches, sweat etc. A KFC ad often has a group at the beach of men and women of roughly equal proportions, all young and good looking. The guys in it are abviously not targetted to appeal to a guy's sense of 'blokiness.' They are there to appeal to the women. Or perhaps to both sex's idea of what cool is. I think I started noticing this a few years back. Perhaps it has gone under the radar. Sure there aren't as many men being used as women (yet), but it is very common.

I'ld buy the second car.
The first one needs new front suspension.
The second one has been protected by the rain and sun by the brolly.

;D ;D

yeah sure :)

freediver, generally the female has the buying power within a household but, when it comes to mans toys like tools, beer etc (because they are historically the majority) the advertising will be targeted to the male. Most advertising is targetted to women. When you see an ad you don't like or understand, generally your not the target market.

It seems to me that much of the barely clothed girly ads are for women's stuff.   There was an ad where a stack of bosomy girls got their shirts off - it was for bras.    Ads with women in their undies are for tampons and those where they are near naked are for tanning lotions and hair removers.   So the boobs appeal to women for some reason or advertisers would stop.

They don't use women much for men's crap because men don't even notice ads on TV.   They go into a shop and just grab the nearest one.

Car ads are different though I agree, it's the fantasy thing of cool car hot chick thing which possibly appeals to men who like their cars.   I drive them but don't give a toss for its street appeal.

You're right deepthought. Women are so competitive between there own species it is unbelievable. When you spend years researching this stuff it makes you worry about the female species. Such a manipulating bunch. Mind you any female that reads this will have their claws out but that's fine it will only reinforce what I'm saying.

Enviro - yes, scantily clad women are used .... pornographically toward men to "advertise" anything.

I find that morally and intellectually offensive.
Spiritually it is used to isolate men and women.


Bobyouruncle - SOME women are like that.
My ex is a very good woman.

women are competetive--but then so are men!

Competitiveness is not a bad thing.

personally, I often feel it goes far too far on the sports field. Hence, I do not go there :-)

Competition is good and participants partake of their own free will.

You're right, perhaps more so - but in different ways - men compete with acts of strength blah blah blah.   Women often compete with each other over aspects of beauty - and perhaps that's why the nudey girly stuff advertising undies, hairlessness and tampons (?).

Mostly women dress for each other, and display for each other.   If men stare at women's exposed boobs they get in the poo but women comment on each others mammaries.

Do they speak in some kind of code? I've never heard a woman talk to another one about her breasts, except in the context of breastfeeding.

Unless you are a woman you wouldn't likely hear it.

Though, that said, you can see all this kind of stuff on the telly really.   Watch ACA or Today Tonight sometime and every week there is some story on a new kind of bra.   The women in the show are yabbering on about how their boobs stick out like this or that or in a different type of T Shirt they can have boobs to die for.

Ever seen a show with blokes showing off how large their nuts look in a new type of Y Front?

Queer eye for the straight guy.

Yeah oceans I am a guy.    I listen when women speak.   Because I have to or I get belted for not paying attention.    ;)

Nahhh, it's a characteristic of women that they dress largely for each other, obsess about who will be wearing what, talk about each others 'attributes' and then gossip about each other when they're not there.  

Whereas the bloke will never ask if his bum looks big in something, whether he should wear this or that kind of genital displaying outfit, never notice if some dude has a huge package and once his mate's gone he forgets he ever existed so he can drink his beer.

Maybe the queer eye for the straight guys do.   Dunno.

No I thought you were a bloke, and I do agree about women and their obsessions-even though I hate to admit it. We can be pretty rediculous soemetimes and it even exasperateds me, the insecurity of women...... How observant of you . ;)

I wish were a male  a lot of times, so I didnt have to compete in the female arena. Farting, burping and hot days and no shirt on . The luxury of getting drunk (if I cared to) with no thought to the consequence of looking like a complete drunken loser, and next morning waking with not a hint of remorse or guilt. It would be great to be  guy for those reasons.


I only saw the Queer Eyes on TV so Im know as much as you ..

back to the topic.


So I guess we have to ask :

Why do women pose pornographically to promote the sales of cars/garages/songs/timber/hats/soap/anything for someone else  ?

If you say they pose pornographically sprint-youve led a very sheltered life.

They do not pose pornographically.

Pornography is when the human geni-talia are involved .

If you say they pose pornographically sprint-youve led a very sheltered life. I guess they pose the way they do to promote sales of a product . They are employed by advertisers wishing to enhance the sale of certain products by the using the charms of women to appeal to the male customer. It must be working . They do not pose pornographically. Pornography is when the human geni-talia are involved .

So, why do women do it ?

In America a hot bodied bimbo in a bikini could sell anything.

In Australia they use women like Germaine Greer and Penny Wong to sell stuff.
