What do you mean, the stuff about it not all being about sexual attractiveness?
I get that, but I think we all know what the majority of users use these figures for. Kinda like Wiz keeps pointing out when it comes to clothes; the major interest is in stutwear. I agree, and if that's the main market, you automatically get a good idea of what matters with these figures, what people are looking for.
I think you're kidding yourself if you think it's a non-sexual thing. I get that won't be the case for everone, but it seems obvious to me that it's the vast majority. If the female figures didn't represent a real woman for whatever reason, I'm guessing a good 90% of the male users out there wouldn't even have DS or Poser installed.
So there is part of the answer in a nutshell:
Men know they get enjoyment out of it, and that means they know other men get enjoyment out of it. And because they know other men get enjoyment out of it, they know money is to be made if they create a good representation of a hot female, and therefore, they make money out of it.
Question is, why isn't that the same for the male figures?
The only two reasons that come to mind is that women either aren't as highly sexed as men, or, there simply aren't as many female users as there are male users. If it's neither of those, I think such a balance can only be reached if there is something lacking from the male figures that is in abundance on the female figures, and like I said, I think hetrosexual women are the key to discovering what it is.
You know the answer to that better than I do, I know that for a fact.
Point is, what is it?
