Question

Why are there not obese models in Playgirl and Playboy magazines?

Answer 1

so my cousin is kendra wilkinson so i know hef and hef loves to give everyone a chance i and no plus size models really like to try out, i have heard of 2 trying out from holly but they didnt photograph correct and one refused to get rid of her tan lines and the other had a bad attitude! so maybe if the right one comes along hef would put her in!

Answer 2

They're just too mainstream to have anyone other than the cheesy, glossed-over type!!  They wouldn't rock the beauty establishment boat that way.  Playgirl magazine died, btw.  

Answer 3

Because a majority of people would rather look at models who are the "perfect" size (you know, 5'6, 110 lbs).  

Answer 4

Playgirl is defunct, my man.  Obesity is not considered attractive in our culture.

Answer 5

is that a serious question, if your into that sourt of stuff i think they make like erotic mags, but theres no "gentlemen magazins" that feture it

Answer 6

You know, I've never actually looked at a Playgirl magazine.  How do you know the guys are all skinny?

As far as Playboy goes, I gotta say that Hugh Heffner probably likes 'em thin, because he's the man who picks out all the pictures.  I might go out on a limb and say that Hugh doesn't want a lot of fat chicks up at the Playboy Mansion eating all of his Cheetos and caviar, and such.

Answer 7

wow i am surprised that a man is asking this question. not many men would openly admit that they may like girls who are not the typical model type. nice to know that not just women feel that way.good for you. but it is because american culture and that type of industry does not view anyone who is less than 5'6 and 110 lbs. as pretty. harsh but that is the sad way america has downgraded itself.

Answer 8

wow, it's amazing that a guy is asking this question.  for one thing, there's not a huge market for larger models in the industry because it's "gross".  playboy and playgirl are magazines that cater to the love of "beautiful" people.  the aesthetic they go by is so rigid, there's no way anyone can break through it.

Answer 9

becos fat women arnt people you fantasize about in your dreams are they XD

Answer 10

If u like that then hey

but da rest of us dnt

Answer 11

Anna Nicole Smith looked obese to me, and she was Playmate of the Year once. Some models have been chubby. I think I heard that there was once a pictorial in "Playboy" on obese women. That's done to test the waters. If there's enough response from readers, some of the girls may be shown again and even become Playmates. If you want to see obese girls, write to the magazines and get friends to write too.

Answer 12

Don't ask a question when you already know the answer to it.
