This is amazing! I still wonder though if it's a bunch of feminists who started the campaign. As if beautiful girls don't exist :coocoo:

Okiewan · Nov 8, 2006

I find it odd that a company that is a part of the multi-mega-billion dollar beauty products industry is behind that? Beauty is determined by that industry and it requires a TON of their products.

trial_07 · Nov 8, 2006

Yes! But being a very plain normal woman, would you buy cosmetics from Dove (after seeing this) or another company?

Okiewan · Nov 8, 2006

There's no such thing as a "plain" or "normal" woman. Your opinion can and probably is, 180 degrees from many others.

Thats just GAY....

trial_07 · Nov 8, 2006

Sorry for the choice of words Okie...is ordinary or typical better? I mean not ugly, but not outstandingly beautiful. Do you understand?

Okiewan · Nov 8, 2006

There is no good choice of words. PLEASE read my reply and actually think about it for a moment before turning your fingers loose. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

You're too young to realize I guess... you are MUCH better off not tagging the looks of a female! Either say she's beautiful, or keep your mouth shut. Tip of the day right there.

ellandoh · Nov 8, 2006

that is , for the most part , what happens for the first hour or so of almost ALL awe-inspiring womens days . and a good portion of those not so.

the photoshop is the equivalent of beer :boss:

this is the smartest thing i think i have heard all day.... it kinda made me smile! thank you! i know its not directed at me but if more women thought this way there would be eating disorders and people thinking they need to by creams or make up to make themselves look better ya know??

durrtygurl · Nov 8, 2006

i ment there WOULDNT be eating disorders... its been a long day..

XRpredator · Nov 8, 2006

a few things I've learned about women:

If she says "do these pants make my butt look big?" always say "no", even if it looks like a couple raccoons fighting in a burlap bag
If she says "How do I look?" I always quote Eric Clapton and say "My darling, you look wonderful tonight"
and, on a different note, never, EVER compare her cookies or her gravy to your mother's. That's when she'll say "well, I guess you can just move back in with your mom, then"

in case you cared.

This is all stuff I know Okie! I thought about your point, like I always do when anyone replies to my posts.

What I understood from this is my opinion is opposite of most people, right?

What I was trying to say is the typical woman will choose Dove, if she hesitates between two brands, because of that campaign. Keep in mind that women who feel the pressure to look like models will be affected by the campaign. For what are we actually arguing about? What do you disagree with exactly? Thanks!

You must really love your right hand, because the more you type the closer you get to having a life-long relationship with it. :rotfl:

I've got no problems with relationships at all Rich! But it's nice of you to worry about me :) So what's wrong in what I'm saying? I read and read my post again and I can't seem to figure it out. Maybe I'm just dumb, but somebody help me!?

Ok! Now back that up please! I'm not joking I'm seriously wondering what's wrong in what I said!!! Is it another language issue? A wrong choice of words?

It started with just being a bit froggy. Then elevated to posting crap that you have no clue about. See below.

Really? Here is what I need from you. Define "typical woman" by answereing the following. Age, education, homemaker or occupational, average household income, single or married, children, exercise 3-5 times a week Y/N, there are a few more but that should suffice.

You see those big nasty ad agencies are pretty good at targeting their market, and those are some REALLY basic questions that are asked when they begin a campaign. They are not targeting all women, it is very targeted, and I would like to see if your "typical woman" fits the target criteria.

I will explain further about this campaign later, but I would like to hear your feedback first.

I will often stop before posting and ask myself a simple question. Amy I going to make a complete ass out of myself by posting this?

If the answer is even a maybe, I try to avoid posting.

Perhaps you should use that logic from time to time trial...

Moose · Nov 8, 2006

If I was him, I'd just stop posting 53 times a day.

bsmith · Nov 8, 2006

I think my take home opinion is models must all get neck extensions :p

If she says "do these pants make my butt look big?" always say "no", even if it looks like a couple raccoons fighting in a burlap bag

Another wrong answer, the response would be "you liar, I'm not going out" :nener:
The right answer is that question has no right answer, just like how many stars in the sky or what came first, the chicken or the egg!

I think that will be arranged one way or the other. ;)

trial_07 · Nov 8, 2006

I heard you Thump, but lets do this my way for a change and take everything by step. If you disagree with a step, it'll be simple:

Step 1: Most women targeted by the commercial can relate to it because of personal experiences they've gone through.

Step 2: A woman who is touched emotionally by the commercial will hold Dove in her mind.

Step 3: The lady hesitates between bottle A and bottle Dove, which will she pick?

Step 4: Bottle Dove because they've made a great commercial which affected her!

That's really all I was trying to say! It's not much either. I really wonder how this has created such a "bash trial contest"?!
