Check out the May issue of Playboy if you want to see what the average American housewife and mother looks like. Don't believe me see for your self. She is blonde, tall, built, and in perfect shape. Even the ones that have had 4 children. WOW! What must I be doing wrong...I sure don't look like that. Oh wait... I know, I have not had breast implants or liposuction....I can't go to the gym 7 days a week and most of all I don't have a room full of editors air brushing my flaws away.
Do the husbands that "read" this issue think of that....no....they think DAMN why can't my wife look like that??? Amazingly enough there are some of these men that will actually ask their wives "why don't you look like that? " (this coming from a balding overweight middle aged man that does not know what the inside of a gym is) and sadly these men will live to see another day because many of their wives already have low self esteem.
Where are the "real" wives and mothers...the 40 somethings that have added a few pounds and are out of shape...the ones that make sure you have a clean shirt every day, the ones that make sure you have dinner in the evening, the ones that make sure your children taken here and there, the ones that do all this and hold down a full time job??

Playboy is what it is and for the last 60 years it has been a cutting edge magazine. Great acticles (yes, articles) and pictorials. Who doesn't like to look at beautiful women. We all know they are not "real" in the sense that you are going to ever see them walking down the street looking like that (and if you think you will guys..WAKE UP) It is an impossible ideal. This is for the men out there that think there wives should look like these women....GET A GRIP....when you look like Brad Pitt call us back and we might listen.
