15. It is not aimed at men, it is aimed at women.
It is called aspirational advertising. It is not supposed to be real life.

Ever wonder why models scowl while marching down the catwalk? Well there is a reason. High status people do not have to smile much while dealing with lower status people (you don't smile at waitpersons, bosses don't smile at workers - not as much anyhow). THis scowling, perfect person wears XWY clothes, therefore people want to wear XYZ clothes hoping the status wears off on them.
