JeremyC BS: Size zero, get a life (29) RE: BS: Size zero, get a life 08 Feb 07


The thing some women need to understand is that women don't look good because they're curvy or skinny or whatever, they look good because they're women. Being a fan of women myself, I don't like the way women are encouraged to either "accept themselves" if they're obese or starve themselves to fit some artificial standard and look like a typical anorexic model. Any woman I find attractive looks best at the weight that's right for her, and that varies based on the individual woman.

Wasn't there a study done on body types some years ago that highlighted the differences between the way men and women see their bodies (and the opposite sex's bodies)? The result was something like: men thought they looked about the way they should, figured that women liked that body type in a man, and they generally picked a female body type that's around average as what they considered an "attractive woman," while women consistently thought they should look several sizes below where they were at, thought that this was what men liked, and yet they chose an "average" male body as "attractive." I remember hearing about that in Psychology class way back when, and I thought it was pretty interesting.

Why is it that there's no way you can talk a woman into thinking she's attractive when she gets fixated on being "too fat"? It's so frustrating.
