@Dashh   How do you know they're aren't?  Do you regularly examine catalogs or websites for large men?

Interesting reading @Dashh . There is even a modeling agency for plus size male models.

Color me corrected.  I should have said, "I don't recall ever seeing an overweight male model."

'Correct' or not, I can't get past that plus size man wearing the red bikini advertising one pharmaceutical or another. Really, not something I want to see nor do I think it's helping to market their drug. Representative, inclusive or not, I guess I preferred the old days when models were fit and attractive.

Hmm ..

 

I think @Dashh  was just asking, yet in an assertive sort of way.

 

So now, @Dashh  is simply more aware?  Thanks to folks here.

 

Right, folks??
