Summary/Abstract: The following article wants to offer a brief tentative analysis of the impact that the concept of body ideal presented and promoted by different mass media has on the feminine readers from the European cultures. I will not attempt a very clear definition of European cultures here due to the fact that the participants to the surveys I have used come from most European geographical spaces. In this paper European magazines and especially readers can be understood by contrasting them to American readers.
