Its a product that is heavily marketed towards women as can be ascertained from looking at how its advertised. Are you really going to argue this?
So it's
not a feminine product, then.....?
What point do you actually think you are making here???? As I said we see less advertising based on the female form I didn't say we see no advertising directed at women using male attractiveness.
Calvin Klein?
Entire stupid fashion tends built off those adverts of men with their undies hiked up too high... and yes, they were aimed at selling undies to men, but played off the back of all the women who stared at [whoever it was... Beckham?] on the posters - Guys bought the undies to be like the guys who the women were looking at.
How about the Old Spice adverts - You really think men bought that cack because they thought it would make them a better surfer?
Marketing aimed at the women who will get the men to buy it... almost genius, eh?
As for the more direct approach, people like the Telegraph have been insisting for a few years that men are now more objectified than women nowadays, calling it "Hunkvertising" .
The Diet coke add is memorable because its an atypical advert that used half clothed men to advertise a product primarily at women.
Which they continue to do, despite
men being the slightly larger consumer group... because it's not a feminine product.

Yes we get it you are a moral exemplar who is immune to the widely observed effects seen in the rest of the human race....
No, I'm just not stupid enough to fall for blatantly contrived advertising BS...
you would never evenly be slightly affected by associating the sight of a person your are personally attracted to with a product...
Not in marketing terms, no.
I imagine if they're someone I consider attractive, I won't even notice the product.
I know Neve Campbell is/was a smoker, for example, and I'm certain I'd know of her brand, but couldn't for the life of me tell you which one it is.
I feel like you're expecting an apology for not matching your marketing research demographic, or something...
its just us lesser people who haven't yet reached your level of moral and mental perfection.....
Well, some of your young'uns still have time to get there, I suppose... p
Or alternatively you are either a deluded or deceitful person who ever cant or wont accept that the evidence is clear that humans area affected by the sex and attractiveness of a person promoting or advertising a produduct
OK, lets look at the products that I remember buying most recently, shall we?
Let's just Google up some of the advert pictures...
Škoda Octavia - Just a car, not a human in sight.
Cadbury's Mini Rolls - Couple of blokes in purple jumpers, couple of kids, mostly product.
Samsung Galaxy (on Vodafone) - Pictures of a phone and some text (although Voda do feature a couple of blokes, every now and again)
Aspire Revvo - A WOMAN, A WOMAN...... No, wait, that's a YouTube link to a female reviewer. Actual adverts, just product. Not even a human hand holding the thing.
Del Monte Fruit Salad - Food, food, more food, more food......... Oh, a plate.
Stanley 4½ bench plane - A bit old, but even back in the 40s, 50s and 60s, it was just product pictures.
Alphacool LED ring - Product pics.
Dentastix - Puppy dogs!!!!!!!!! But no attractive girls, not even ones with stupid little dogs.
Gigabyte 980Ti - Guess what..... No humans whatsoever.
Surely if sex sells and everyone is affected by it, why aren't all products using it?
Can it possibly depend on the product, like I said in the beginning?
You may think its cheap but the tactic works otherwise companies would not pay millions for the rights to plaster star wars logos over their products.
I think since 1983, I have bought just ONE packet of Star Wars cigarette-candies, which was a joke present about 2 years ago... and the recipient called me a **** before throwing them at me.
Again we get it ........you believe your above all these effects.........but regardless of that they do work
Clearly it doesn't and I am above it, as I haven't bought a single Star Wars razor yet... and neither has anyone else I've heard of!!!
Why, how many have you bought?
Wow you really do think you are special don't you!
I know I am. Why, aren't you?
Cor, that must be boring....
What is this group of 'people like you' that are immune to the effects of advertising....
As mentioned, we're those who can see through the thinly-veiled BS tricks of marketing and advertising... hell, some of us even form the (paid) test audience for such things.
I provided evidence of the phenomena with the real estate sales example where attractive women secured the highest values for property sales.
So gay men only ever rent, do they.....?
Yes, feel free to run with the obvious jokes begging for it in that sentence!!
Yes again we get it you are special and not effected by these crude associations......
I feel like you expect me to apologise for being above it, or something....
the countless millions spent by advertisers and research done showing these effects is all for nothing..........
Actually that's been my assertion for a long time, now.
I assume you don't even raise yourself to live-pause/fast forward through the adverts on TV, then...?
All advertising does is have me impatiently tapping my fingers for the 5 seconds it takes before I can skip the Grammerly ad on YouTube.
