..Because the attention they get from horny drunken servicemen temporarilly fills an emotional void caused by an emotionally distant/absentee father-figure who failed to impart the notion of non-sexual love and self-worth during their formative years? The lack of realization that any relationship they engage in will be based on a flawed model which confuses emotional intimacy with sexual intimacy, leading to an unchecked period of sexual promiscuity starting in their early teens and generally extending well into their mid-to-late 20s, followed by a lifetime of comittment issues, emotional insecurity, unresolved guilt over past behaviors, and a love-hate view of the male gender?

Oh wait. Because of shaving cream. Nevermind.

Okay, I just showed this to my male friend, saying 'haha yeah I'm sure that the canteen girls were so happy because of the quality of the shave', in a sort of 'what a stupid ad' sort of way. He went 'they have family size???' and then said 'oh and... if you notice where her hands are as if to say... ' and then added 'but now they have nice smooth chins and won't scratch her!'
and then I noticed that she's got four different guys in the picture there.
Niiiice.

Based on your description, I think I might be a Canteen Girl.

I'm confused... will the shaving cream actually be used by the soldier or the canteen girl?
