Quote - Are we talkin' scantly dressed jello wrestlers with big boobies?
No -- although such women - "real" women - actually exist. It's a relatively rare body type in the RW, but it does exist -- and it can occur naturally. So even that sort of body type isn't totally off the beam, reality-wise. Many of the 'unknown' early-1960's Italian B-movie beauties tended to fall into that category. It was also a popular thing in 1950's US -- exemplified by women like Jayne Mansfield, Mamie Van Doren, and Joi Lansing. By today's standards, many of those same women would be regarded as overweight. Their "type" still seems to be popular in the Poserverse, though.
But admittedly, the oft-cited Poser stereotype to which you refer can and likely does derive from pure adolescent fantasy. Adolescent boys have fantasized about such things since adolescent boys first existed in the world to fantasize about them. Most of those boys eventually grow up.
