Are men disappointed with 'real' women?

The visions of beauty on many glossy magazines have had their blemishes and scars airbrushed out. But has the ideal moved so far away from reality that men are bound to be disappointed with the real thing?

Kaite O'Reilly is the author of a new play,Perfect, about a man who pursues the perfect women online. Jenni asks her whether we underestimate men's capacity to see through the airbrushing.

Perfect, Contact Theatre, Manchester, 30 April until 15 May

Contact Theatre, Manchester
