Honey, men and women find different things attractive. Just because we're not attracted to the same things doesn't mean we feel threatened.
I am in my early 30s so I have a bit of wisdom about appearance. Looks fade, unless you pay a fortune for maintenance. I am related to a gorgeous woman in her early 50s who spends 3-5 hours a day exercising, spends more on trainers than almost all of you make in a year, and who routinely get injected and peeled and tightened, and is still going through an awful divorce. I'd rather have my self-esteem than her hot body.
I am not threatened by a hot woman unless she is actively chasing the OM -- in other words, unless she is actually threatening me.
The trashy thing does nothing for me. While I admire (some) strippers bodies, I have never thought damn, I wish I looked like that. I once thought that fake breasts would be a good idea so I would never have to wear a bra again . . . until I saw an MTV True Life that was so horrifying I cannot rid myself of the image on the surgery table and the pain of the recovery room.
