Try finding women (or men) who fit those descriptions in something that isn't anime though. For the most part, any character in a show or movie isn't supposed to be "real" (ie, have all of the problems a "normal" person has), aside from those cases where that's the POINT of the show. Why do you think they use Barbie-like models to promote a line of clothes? Because a "real" person isn't going to have that effect, for either sex. People don't want reality, whether its being jaded by the fictional images that we see every day or not.
Jamie Lee Curtis did a piece in some women's magazine a few months ago about that line of thought. She basically let them photograph her as she normally is, without makeup or any of the typical "benefits" she'd normally get when being photographed. And it was...her, which is a pretty far cry than the half-naked version seen in something like True Lies. She's the same person, but do you honestly think any director would have put the "real" JLC in a role like that?
Reality and fiction share some similarities, but one normally can't be too much like the other without causing problems. Reality is too dull for entertainment, and entertainment doesn't normally have the time to dive deep enough into all of the physical/mental/social problems of any given character during a single moment in time.
So if someone wakes up with a bad hair day or with acne (I'm picturing that Saved By The Bell episode right now for some reason![]()
), its usually done in a comedic fashion. Otherwise, reality is too boring for most people to produce or watch in a fictional setting.
I'm...losing my train of thought here (caffine is obviously wearing off), so I'll stop before I ramble on or go further off-topic.![]()
