I don't understand the concept of beauty these days..

[mista_mo]

is it wrong of me to like a lady with some fat and or muscle mass on her frame? Serisuly, is it sick of me to not want a skin and bones lady? I don't understand what todays fascination with uber skininess is. And people wonder why alot of girls have eating disorders or are getting there. Hell, most of the girls i know are very good looking and yet they don't see it. THey go i'm not as skinny as so and so or i don't look as good as so an so. Seriusly. thoughts?

Me: "You got arms like Christina Aguillera"..... Girl: *blushes* "Thanks, your sweet" Me: "No. I mean....." *points and looks shocked* "Gross! Christina Aguillera arms!"

[_liam_]

dont get me started. i like slender girls, but not some of the gross **** you see these days. blokes will tell girls over and over again that they dont like full on stick insects, and yet the stick insects keep appearing...so i dont buy the idea that they starve to become attractive, theyre just being controlled by the media... it's really sad & weird.

Totally, that stick insect look is f*cking disgusting, does a guy wanna poke a sheet of tracing paper? No, they wanna poke a human being. A figure on a gal is sexy, and time and again I've had girls I'm friends with going on about "do I look fat" and I'm like "hell no", but they never listen, it's like talking to a brick wall, and if the fashion industry is mainly controlled by gay men, how do they know what straight men want in a lady? It certainly isn't Naomi "lob a phone" Campbell or Kate "snort an ounce" Moss. If I can see ribs and collar bones, then piss-the-f*ck-off with ya. Some girls are naturally slender, so they suit it, but slender and emaciated are a mile apart. I'd rather have a girl with an ass to grab on to (none of that saggy Paris "i can see if from the front as well" Hilton arse), with hips to hold and a rack that fits her body type (I don't care of the size of boob, if it suits her body then fine and dandy). See, blokes ain't fussy ladies, they just want a nice looking gal with a nice smile, a sense of humour and who doesn't take three years to put her make up on...and they're not a bitch, that's a must, we hate bitchy women, it's too much effort.

plus ,if you look don vito and kate moss have the same wandering eye * after 2 mins in paint and google image search*

Scarlett Johansson - now there's a famous lass with curves and an actual body, now THAT is attractive ... Kate Bosworth - now THAT is 100% minging of the highest order.

"Fashionable" and "sexy" might overlap sometimes, but they're not really in the same ball park, or at least i don't think so. Like saying, "why do girls try to be stick insects when men don't find it attractive?"- I think the answer is that they're not trying to be sexy as much as fashionable. And it *is* fashionable to be underweight, no way round it. Sure, there's some successful plus-size models around, but in general Kate Moss and co. lead the pack. So, a lot of the time, wanting to be v. skinny is aimed more at impressing gay fashionista guys and other women, than attracting men. That's what padded bras are for As regards people with actual anorexia or ED-NOS, I think for a lot of people it's a similar feeling to what an athlete feels when they're training really hard and get too caught up in pushing thier limits. It's a lot of hard work and dedication to achieve a body type, and starving oneself actually leads to feelings of euphoria after a couple of days; it's suprisingly addictive for something that you would have thought to go very much against the natural instinct to survive. I'm not saying it's okay, not for a second, I'm just saying it's not that all these skinny girls are deranged, although I think many are ill. Not to mention the fact that most girls are straight, so they are at best guessing what men are likely to find attractive. And they might think that when you say "you're not fat/ men don't find skinny women attractive" you're just trying to be nice, rather than honest. I had a good chat with my dad about this when I was about 14. I was saying I thought that supermodels would be the most attractive women on earth and he was saying no, curvy women are. I just assumed he was saying that because he was my dad, and didn't want to encourage me to be skinny, so i didn't believe him. Eventually he threw his hands up in the air and gave me permission to go and buy a porn mag and have a look at the women in there. He said, "if you find a single one that looks like Kate Moss I'll give you a tenner. Anyway, she has horrible skin and teeth." I think the mass popularity of Dita Von Teese seems to be having a good effect on some of the girls I know.

i thoght "plus size", was just a term for morbidle obese people like rosanne?

[Chic Freak]

Nice tan and a pretty smile helps also. No way, pasty-pale gofficks for the win i thoght "plus size", was just a term for morbidle obese people like rosanne? Scarily enough... plus size high fashion models are UK size 12-14. That's really not that big at all The average dress size in the UK is 16, for a start. Example of a "plus-size" figure: It's bad really. When someone with a normal figure makes a success of themselves they're labelled plus-size. No wonder so many girls think that "normal" = fat.

[Danny]

No way, pasty-pale gofficks for the win i dont care, plus size sounds funnyier as a pc term for obese and cap'n, tans?, gross, tans are for kappa slappas, david dickenson and alcoholic women in the 40's who want to complete there metamorphosis into a shammy leather.

In the US (and I'm sure all over the world) I just don't get what is considered 'beautiful' anymore. The nasty sh*t they put on runways and consider "supermodels" is some of the most sickening displays of human ugliness I have EVER seen. Since when is it 'chic' to look like you're going through a horrible heorin addiction or withdraw? dark circles under the eyes, so skinny you can see ribs.. The sh*t they pass off as "beautiful" i'll never understand. To me, you have to love a person for more than just their looks (unless you're just lookin' to shag her for a night or something.. That's another discussion for another time. ). My wife is no model by any stretch of the imagination, but I can't imagine a more beautiful person to spend my life with. You have to be beautiful inside before you are beautiful outside. Think about it: If you're gloomy, depressed or just plain have a horrible personality, you're forever going to be pushing people away and will never find that special someone. If you're ugly inside, you could be the cutest woman in the world and I wouldn't get within 50 feet of you. Although, beauty, as they say, is in the eye of the beholder - and apparently some people have a strange idea of beauty is.

I can't stand ultra skinny girls. I have friends that think I'm gay because I don't find Paris Hilton attractive at all. (but that's not just because she's disgustingly skinny... she also looks like a beast) I like thin girls. But I also like girls with a little meat on them. I actually don't give a damn what size a girl is. If she's pretty, then she's pretty.
