I dont quite understand this programme, people hate their bodies but pose naked on live tv in front of millions of people? I've seen some where come the crunch, they had to be cajoled into posing naked but surely when they sign up, they know they will have to do that? Why sign up for something when you are not really sure?? Seems very similar to Embarrassing Illnesses but in reverse  |

Gok Wan is a GOD among men.
If more guys watched the programme they'd have a WAY better idea of how women perceive themselves.
The way that guy can make women change the way the feel about themselves and present themselves to the outside world is little short of a miracle.

Yes i know that but surely one has to have confidence in the first place, though i guess maybe a boost up that last step on the ladder lol
Wonder how many contracts the get then  |

I think he is great too but he would have to work harder on me after years of abuse, a 30 mins programme wouldnt be enough for me, then again id never go on it |

The ladies who chose to be in the programme have to find the courage to confront their insecurities.
It is refreshing to see them started off as mousey drap looking beings, to be turned into self-confident swans as they dared to step out of their comfort zones and be guided by Gok to try new things!

Maybe there is a finacial incentive for those who take part in shows such as these ?
The embarassing bodies is the one that makes us laugh the most - folks with the most hideous of things wrong with them, won't go to see their GP, but will flash their puss filled bits and bobs on national TV ...
Apart from prority treatment at private clinics that most of us could never afford in a month of Sundays, they must get paid to take part |

Gok is an amazing man, the way he makes the ladies (and blokes) feel about themselves by the end of the program is wonderful.
Give him a knighthhood, I'd love to see him say 'thanks girlfriend' to the Queen! |

I like Gok, saw one show he did and it was a guy who had issues about being naked, hated his body for being so thin. Gok made him over, yes, but it's how he managed to get this guy to like his own body, be comfortable with it, that really impressed me.
I had issues with my own body with mastectomy scars and a scar from hip to hip.
A visit to a club and FAB changed all that for me.
I was fortunate to meet a swinger who genuinely saw the beauty inside, regardless of the packaging, who helped me confront how I saw myself.
Not one swinger has made comment on my physical flaws but enjoyed my body, my person.
I really do believe shows like Gok's are about the mental makeover that he brings about as well the physical one. |

having known a lady that went on the programme i can tell you that not everyone is initally in on it....
she was put forward by friends, who says she looked fantastic, but she never saw that in herself, so in her case it was very very much a self confidence thing....
after she went on the show, she was a completely different person.... so it does work...
I would love him at some point to do one for men.... the ones he did with disabled ladies was fantastic |

hear hear laine ,,,i blame the fashion industry mags etc for sewing the mental seed that men only like size zero ladies maybe they were in league with the diet marketing lobby and struck a deal. We all have our own personal tastes and likes myself i like a lady to have curves in all the right places, looking at all my friends wives partners my friends do to. I also find personality is up there with physical attraction to. |

I think Gok is brilliant and he certainly does know womens bodies.
It is about facing insecurity.
Swinging did that for me, and also taking photographs of myself, sexy, naughty, provocative photographs, ok I fiddle with a soft focus lens and have good lighting, but thats what every photographer does anyway, even to the most beautiful slim woman out there.
Thats why I have so many photographs of me on my profile, not because I think Im gorgeous and im conceited and "up my own arse", its cos the photographs make me feel good about myself and thats the most important thing.
Its all about the confidence...... |

Everybody is who they are we can not be anything else.Didnt someone once sing "you have to be yourself you cant be nothing else."
In terms of insecurities we all have them but what i find helps is i know others have them to. Was a young woman i use to chat with she in my and other mens eyes was gorgeous except she did not think so herself,,,, she was insecure about her boobs to point of saving for a boob job. Dunno if i ever managed to talk her out of it.
Theres more to us all than mere body parts. Why do we get so suckered into believeing what the fashion industry tell us ?

Because since time began, slim women have always been used to sell clothes, make up etc, cars, even in porn magazines, and it will be a long time before some of the fashion people will use ordinary women of size 12 and upwards  |

I am not the most confident person.. So Master gets me to get others to take photos.. although naked is reserved just for Master..
but I agree with those that have said that this programme is all about building someones confidence in their body image.

Never fails to bring a tear to my eye! I think watching the process of people blossoming is inspiring and very beautiful and anyone who can do that gets my vote.
Despite being a big girl I have usually felt fairly confident physically. But like a lot of people, I have had phases of feeling less than gorgeous often as a result of other issues in my life. Swinging amongst other things has certainly helped me. |

I think the reason Gok's programmes are so popular is because its feel-good TV, he makes the subjects feel positive and therefore happy endings, so its warm and fuzzy feelings he creates, without being patronizing!
And having been through weight problems himself, he has empathy, but he is a realist. The ladies are usually focusing on their dislikes, and he teaches them, and consequently us, to focus on our good points and minimise the focus on the (perceived) bad points. |

Its all well and good people saying that more guys should take notice of Gok.
The one main difference with Gok and the guys on here is............Gok has no interest in getting into these womens knickers, well......maybe only to wear them.
The average Joe on here can say many positive things to a woman with low confidence, whether its true or not she'll still think he's saying them just to get a shag! R

The thing is, I don't think 'everyone' looks good naked. I really don't think that 'everyone' can. I can't do naked myself because I know I don't look good in the altogether ... and it's not just self-perception or a confidence thing - it's an 'I have eyes in my head' thing. However, to enable me to have fun I simply try to wear some lingerie that covers the bits I don't. The less alluring option is a full burkha.
There is no-way no-how I'd EVER put myself forward to go on that show because there simply aren't enough hours left in my life that would be sufficient to for Gok convince me I could look good in the buff.
PS
I love Gok  |

With you 100%...apart from the I love Gok part...think he's a twat, but that's just me!
I don't lack confidence at all, I too have eyes in my head and I KNOW I don't look good naked, but it doesn't stop me getting naked as often as I can! |

dammed if you do dammed if you dont men have have insecurites i use to,,when i was younger. ,,,its not just a womans thing,,, I guess i just been proved right in my thinking that should a single guy from here so much as dare say hello in chat its translated as hi fancy a shag, is it now politically incorrect to say hello nice pics you look really nice?? :-
As for looking for a shag well, it is a swingers site, both men and women are not here to play chess or are we ???
