Reader Response #6 Lantry's Article



           

                                The article “Stay Sweet as You Are” is about advertisements directing the image of articles towards women to attract guys for marriage. I like this article because usually all ads for women to make them look better. For most women when looking for products it is all about making them look better, and we all know it is to impress guys.  The article points out how ads are directed towards women, but I believe it goes both ways. Guys like to impress women too, why else would men dress nice and so on. The article does not direct this because back in the day the main goal for women was to get married and have kids. The article addressed how these ads started in the 1920’s, so this shows that it was always a goal to impress men. 

                Without reading this article I knew from experiencing other ads that is always show a flawless girl advertising a product so people buy the product hoping to look the same way. This article helps to show with examples of advertising soap and mouth wash.  The questioned being asked is why not give this product a chance if I am able to get guys. When women are single and the goal is to get guys they are most likely going to try anything. Overall ads will do anything to sell a product, even when it comes to lying saying it will get guys to like you. From now on I won’t listen to what ads say, because they are not always true!
