When reading such - in the end pointless - magazines, women know they could never be like any of those ultimately artificial females. They aren't real, they have health issues, often look terrible without make up and really, you don't wanna be them. You even pity them a lot. When reading more or less pointless books or playing more or less pointless RPGs, women know they could never be like those women either, but at least want to be able to pretend they could be like them. As the average woman doesn't want to be reduced to boobs and ass and a figure that would break apart when in the real world, you definitely want more realism, as in normal waisted women, normal sized boobs not making you fall down when picking up your weapon and maybe women who are not even their ideal weight. From all the women I played with, this was the worst complaint and I can join right in. When in a world where we want at least some escape from the real world, we do not want to be reminded of such things as sexualization, men enforced body ideals and artificial boobs. Men may want that, maybe because such women can never be had in real life. RPGs are largely marketed for men, that is just it. And from what I experienced, this is one reason why women who would normally be interested in the matter do not even look at RPGs (or some card games) twice.</blockquote>
