Posters, Magazines, and the Web

When I think about how my friends have been affected by the media, I think of all the posters we put up in our rooms, cell phone backgrounds, facebooks etc.

I have not been in a guys room who didn't have at least one picture or poster of some "hot chick" in a bikini.
... Here's one I come across a lot
Megan Fox... every teenage girl's competition. Am I right? Or am I right?

So to get a better handle on what guys really think and trying to keep an open mind about how shallow guys are or aren't, I asked some friends.

Question one:
Who's you're dream girl?
A:
Megan Fox!

What do you like about her?
A: She's hot!

Okay that wasn't every guys reaction, BUT all of their answers were very similar. Their dream girls weren't a friend, or an acquaintance, or even some pretty girl they actually met once, they were completely unobtainable celebrity girls who are beautiful yes, but logical? no.

I think that the ideas we have now-a-days are completely unrealistic. The Media has influenced us to think that our dream girl or guy is someone we don't know personally, but someone we see as a sex symbol or beautiful superstar in print or on our TV screen.
