Women Are Becoming Too Skinny!!!

[rglove]

I don’t like how skinny women are getting these days. I mean, it a little too skinny, to the point of absurdity. A fit, slim, trim body is nice, very nice, and is very attractive on a woman. A woman with a slim waistline, yes, attractive, very attractive but her being so skinny that you see her ribcage isn’t. The rail, frail thin Hollywood trend going on right now, doesn’t make for attractive, at all. The toothpick body is just not an attractive body. It is not flattering to the female, at all. A woman should have feminine curves. Some women, these days, seem to be loosing that aspect. They’re dieting, till they disappear and in that, losing the curves that define woman. I hate seeing women of today, trying so hard to achieve an anorexic or near anorexic looking body, thinking that it’s attractive an it’s what we find attractive, when it’s not, They just look sick, literally. Now, I have nothing against skinny women. I appreciate a woman who’s slim, trim, and toned. The work, which they put in, reflects nicely upon their bodies, but there’s a difference between, slim, trimmed, and toned and anorexic looking. The difference is shape, which the slim, trimmed, and toned bodies have, and the anorexic looking ones don’t. A woman who looks slim, trimmed and toned has definition to her body and looks healthy. An anorexic looking woman is just skin and bones and looks frail, sickly. On the one hand, you have a finely sculpted body, “the optimum”, on the other you have this toothpick looking thing. Which one of those is attractive to you? For me, it’s not the latter, for sure. A slim, trim body, indeed, is very attractive, but a brittle looking one is not. When a body loses its definition, it loses it appeal. There is such a thing as “too skinny”. Ladies, the need to be skinny has taken some of you, from and far past looking attractive onto looking absurd and just plain obscene, as far as skinny, and it’s not looking good. Advice ladies, strive for slim, toned, and shapely bodies that is and has always been attractive, and STOP staving yourselves into oblivion, and “Hollywood”, wise up, PLEASE!!!

Maybe if society weren't so critical towards women's bodies, then many of these eating disorders (too much or too little) would be less pervasive.

 

It's true that society criticizes women like Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Katie Holmes, Laura Flynn Boyle, and others for being too skinny. But in their case, it's pity and concern for their health that you hear people talking about. But whenever someone famous puts on a few pounds the criticism becomes mean-spirited and hateful name-calling.

 

The medical community tells us that it's much healthier for a woman to be 20 pounds overweight than 20 pounds underweight, but yet pick up any fashion magazine and the images you see are women who are underweight.

 

Women face way too much pressure from society, men and other women to achieve an "ideal" that may not be realistic for them.

 

Bottomline is that women come in all kinds of shapes and sizes, and as long as they are living a healthy lifestyle of good nutrition and staying active, then they should appreciate and accept their bodies as they are and ignore the negative messages that Hollywood and society send them.

Striving for "An Ideal", the Ideal Size, I don't think is the problem. The problem is not being able to recognize what is too much, how far is too far. The problem is control, as I see, not being able to keep oneself from going over the edge. The problem arises, when a woman lets herself be in slaved, by her need to have the perfect body, instead of appreciating the beauty of form she can achieve and the achievement she has already made in sculpting her body, when she doesn't have necessary self-esteem or positive enough of a self image to realize when she look good enough. It's more a matter of not having the skill to handle and be in control of the beauty ideal and thusly, letting it control you, than the beauty ideal, itself, being bad!!! But, on the whole, Jen, your message is very sound!!!

Guys face just as much pressure except guys for the most part get judged on their faces which is something that wasn't chosen. At least with body size a person has a choice in the matter 90% of the time. Show me a person who was able to pick their face at birth.

 

Problem is society is fugged and puts waaaaaaaaay too much importance on one's appearance. It is sad that the supposed "hot" people of society can usually get through half their life on their looks and have no substance to them while people who are really great human beings can struggle. What a messed up world. I guess the upside is everyone eventually gets old and those who were able to live their life based on their looks usually age horribly and then have to rely on getting by with their lack of personality/substance.

 

I often wish I could wake up the next day and be the best looking guy out there so every woman who prolly wouldnt give me the time of day now, would want me simply because of my face as if my face makes me the person I am...I'd have a field day telling them to screw off for judging me by my looks.

 

It always boggles my mind how we as humans are supposed to be the most intelligent specieis on the planet yet we judge on looks which is somethig you'd expect downright stupid creatures to possibly do.

 

All I know is I feel bad for those women who think they need to be toothpicks to be attractive and if I could change the way society is I would.

I would bang them first and then tell 'em to "screw off"

Hi I am 18 years old, and i just want to say i dont understand the problem women have with slim girls. I myself am naturally very thin, i am a UK size 6, US size 0, but at the end of the day i am far healthier than an overwight person who has to battle with heart problems etc. I have battled wIth trying to put weight on all my life, I eat constantly. Just one day i reaslised that i should accept myself for who i am.. and at the end of the day I am extremely lucky.

I get called 'anorexic' etc, and it infuriates me - because at the end of the day I am not.

Sure there are all them models & celebrities out there are forcing themselves to be stick thin, and yes i agree its worng.. but at the end of the day its their choice, and who are we to comment on someone elses body shape - i think its extremely bitchy and maybe jealousy has a big role in it all??

Becasue at the end of the day theres all these new diets everybody is obsessed with, and deep down the average woman does want to be thinner.

Some of the worlds most beautiful women are extremely thin, and some are larger aslo..

So please, next time you see a thin girl - try not to discriminate her, people should learn to see whats underneath a person instead of judging them by their appearence (fat or slim).
