This is true. Girls with exaggerated features trigger something in our brain that isn't necessarily regular attraction but is still effective. Side-by-side, 9 out of 10 guys would pick Natalie Portman in her prime (only 5'2" or so) over one of these 6-foot models, yet they are the ones used for "modeling" things. It's some weird visual psychology.
Up close, or without the proper photographing, most of these models looks weird, long-ish, gaunt, and mannish. Certainly there are exceptions, but I'd say a significant majority.
