Quoted for truth. Most of the women's magazines I see while waiting in the check-out line are graced with sexy, often scantily clad, women. Sometimes they are accompanied by a man. Magazines about women's fitness and health are no exceptions. Men's magazines, which one can usually finds in the out-of-the-way magazine rack, have a variety of covers. Many are decorated with guns or cars. Some are blessed with eye-catching cleavage. Others sport shirtless men. The only beefcake marketing I regulary see is on the covers of "Romance Novels". But these hairless studs are typically accompanied by cheesecake, in some state of passionate undress. Catching a man's eye is, quite simply, a geometry problem: curves and lines. Women's eyes are a bit more complicated: eyes, smiles, hair, no hair, codpiece, glutes, big muscles, slender, macho, effeminate, shirtless, tux, hyped or plain. It's no wonder that gaming companies go for the easy cue of cleavage marketing. It may even catch a few women's eyes as well.

Just for giggles I looked up a issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine. Here are the headlines... ------------------------- BAD GIRL SEX THE SEXY ASS WORKOUT ONE QUESTION NO GUY CAN RESIST SEX PANIC THE 26 BEST BEAUTY PRODUCTS WHAT 81% OF MEN EXPECT ON THE FIRST DATE HOW SHE OUTSMARTED A BRUTAL RAPIST -------------------------- With a picture of Megan Fox and her tits popping out of a small dress on the cover page. So just from a basic observation... guys are interested in breasts, and women are interested in sex. Go look at a magazine rack, right now... and tell me that the majority of magazines for women aren't focused on sex. The rest that aren't talking about sex like a BradyGames Strategy guide, are telling women what they should look like, and how to do it... usually to attract men. Sex sells for BOTH genders, dear... guys like eye candy, women want updated tactical manuals on how to please guys.

Fantasy consumers have been confronted with boobs long before the MMO genre, with Frank Frazetta being the most well known and prolific.
You can back even further than the 60s to find boobs in fantasy marketing. Hell, there's always been a decent amount of cleavage on the covers of women's romance novels as well. |
