Why don't they advertise with more good-looking men instead of women?

    Well, I see a lot of sexy men in companies promoting fitness equipment, bodybuilding, etc.I guess you are looking into a female company like avon or something offering women's products?

    You must specify what company you are talking about.

    Because outside of certain specialized groups, people tend to respond better to attractive women - even other women.

      Men like to look at women because they're sexy.
      Women like to look at women because they want to BE sexy.

      It's just a difference of how women vs men think, and so most of the time it's best to use attractive women for both sexes.

    I think the people from playgirl magazine admitted most of their customer base is actually gay men, go figure. Sex sells no doubt, but we guys are more visual than women when it comes to it. That's why the girl who wrote 50 shades of grey (Erika Mitchell) is filthy rich, like nobody's business now.

    And I don't wanna go into stereotypes but you're probably more likely to catch a girl watching a pair of shoes or a nice dress on another sexy girl, instead of a hot male model for CK's underwear.

    Advertising companies know more about us than we may think... I mean facebook even knows what kind of cereal you had for breakfast today heh.

    Cheers and good luck.

      In a similar vein, I read an article some time ago that said Victoria's Secret did a sample of their mailing list, focusing on names with just a first initial. They found that over half of them were men.

      For awhile, they didn't offer print catalogs on their website, then tried charging for subscriptions. I just checked, and you can again request a print catalog. But you have to agree to get junk mail from the folks they rent their list to.

    Because it's mostly men who spend money on sexy women, while women only spend money to become sexy, so that men can spend money on sexy women, etc.

    Isn't sexy men an oxymoron? Seriously men just don't have the visual impact of an attractive woman and I think women aren't necessarily obsessed with the way men look

      "Sexy men" is a very subjective term, more so than a "Sexy woman". It's all relative! I could go on but in the interest of self respect I will graciously refrain!

    Because men are more powerful than women and they govern the world, and because women are more superficial than men. They easily accept exposing their bodies.

    Women started having certain rights only a few decades ago. Before that, they had to stay at home; they couldn't work somewhere else.

    Women still have an inferior position in many countries. For example in Nigeria (Africa) men have the right to have many wives…

    Our violent world is ruled by men. They decide everything.

    Men of all ages are highly excited by the sight of a hot chick, women pretty much stop giving a shit once they realize that making enough money to live comfortably is pretty tough so they start looking for the highest earning guy they can mooch off of, I mean marry. So at that point they too are more interested in hot girls than hot guys, even if its only because they want to be one.
