Do you think it's mostly women who watch the tv show Victoria's Secret?

  I thought maybe more men watched the show. Not sure what guys are watching at this time,
  
  Maybe we need a topless version for the playboy channel. :)

  I think I'm used to prude female relatives who tell me to turn the channel if I try to watch any girl in a bikini over at someone else's place and they are there. Maybe that explains why I get along with some dancers so well. They aren't at all like my one prudish sisters who I rarely talk to. Considering my immediate relatives are spread out from NC to Florida to Oregon and California they are probably all different.

  I'd say the audience probably breaks down about like this:
  
  35% pubescent boys that are too young to get into a strip club (PLs in training)
  30% women who wish they owned the merch
  20% men who wish their SO looked like the models
  10% PLs who figure it's cheaper than clubbing
  5% lesbians who wish their SO looked like the models

  I think in 2015 where you can easily stream porn, the vs show is weak spank material.

  I think that's a fair assessment.
  
  Watched it tonight with the SO, who wanted to see it for the fashion and knew I wouldn't complain. It's definitely moreso sexy in the way females want to be sexy than sexy in the ways guys want women to be sexy.
  
  Yes, you have women who are moreso hot than not walking around wearing next to nothing, including Selena Gomez, dancing and having fun. But it's not so much flirty towards men as much as it is, "Hey women, look how happy and sexy you'll feel wearing this stuff." There's a difference. It's hard to describe. It's probably in part because the ladies never actually flirt with actual men at any point, which kind of serves to make them look too perfect and unattainable.
  
  Also, compare it to, say, watching an SI swimsuit shoot video. Kate Upton in a necklace and nothing else. Marisa Miller wearing just an iPod. There's less clothes, which puts more emphasis on the gorgeous woman, which is what the guy wants to see.
  
  Victoria's Secret, meanwhile, puts the girls in the lingerie, yes, but with some sort of ridiculous wings or a seven-foot papier-mache fireworks diorama or whatever behind them, as they walk around The Weeknd singing, with intercuts of the crowd and fake snow falling everywhere. It's a little too overproduced, like the musical theater version of sexy. And most guys who like musical theater aren't turned on by women.
  
  Lastly, the models themselves are far more fashion-model types than what guys want. Hot, yes, but SO thin, SO FEW curves and such freakishly long, thin legs that make the girl look like she's on stilts. Sometimes, I'm watching and I'm like, "She doesn't look right."
  
  So yeah. I was kind of "meh" about it after a while. I can see how it's moreso for women than men.

  I've watched Viet Coffee Girls sit down at a table and start taking notes when those shows are run on the video screens. Girls like that stuff, especially if they have a lot of vanity. And the Coffee Girls are vanity saturated!
  
  The Victoria's Secret shows though are in my opinion stupid. Sure, lots of hot looking girls. But they can't really show the outfits that the company sells, as their stuff is always about showing ass. Television doesn't go for that.
  
  So they come up with these outfits that are bigger than life, always lots of stuff on the backside.
  
  Well those kinds of outfits are useless. Just more stuff that needs to be taken off.
  
  The Victoria's Secret products are not television compatible, so the shows are silly.
  
  And then, Victoria's Secret, what it is really? Just a way to try and make dressing for sex Good Girl approved. Something of the 80's, the New Domesticity which was marketed then, to fight against the more radical views of the 60's and 70's.
  
  I don't like it.
