Women have curves, Damn it!

[Phantom]

I'm sick to death of hearing She's fat, Her ass is HUGE, Thunder thighs! Women are not generally "stick chicks." We are called broads for a reason.

 

The media has poisoned our mind to make certain women feel guilty for having a real woman's body. Generally, we are not going to have pencil legs, little boy butts, or narrow hips. Some women do and that is perfectly acceptable, too. However, a woman's body is meant to be curvy and to have a higher concentration of fat than the male body. This is obviously for child birth and breast feeding.

 

It saddens me to see certain voluptuous women feel ashamed of their appearance because they are told it isn't in fashion. This is completely bogus. Women have CURVES.

[ParasiteGod]

Women are curvy, yes. But there's a point when "curvy" doesn't work anymore. But I know what you mean.

It's like when they call size 12 a plus size. wtf.

[ToriAllen]

Opps. Didn't notice the multiple choice...

[Outlaw2747]

Then they should stop listening to shallow people. And if they look like a stand in for Moby Dick then hit the treadmill.

[ToriAllen]

Why does it have to be one or the other? Women have different body types. I can't keep fat on my body. It isn't a choice. I don't starve myself and I hate excercise. It is just my body type.

 

What I don't agree with are the people that refer to fat girls as having a 'healthy weight'. Since when is fifty extra pounds putting strain on your heart healthy?

[smutt butt]

I like my women nice and thick. Big butts and big thighs. Not obese just plump.

[tiredofwhiners]

For me a little meat is nice...My first wife was a 16 that is in KIDS size. She was about 5'1" or so, and bought clothes in the kids dept. That was too small.

 

Wife now is better to my sizing, 5'7" was a size 8 when we married. One kid and 16 years of my drunken ass, shes a 12/14 which is still just fine. Takes real good care of her looks, and dresses well.

 

Besides she puts up with me, and is way better than i deserve.:o

Exactly. There is nothing wrong with taking care of one's self or wanting to keep up your appearance. But women who may naturally be a size 8 but who starve themselves to be an unnatural size 2 is what is superficial, IMO.

 

Why does it have to be one or the other? Women have different body types. I can't keep fat on my body. It isn't a choice. I don't starve myself and I hate excercise. It is just my body type.

 

I understand. That is why I left of the word Real from the slogan Real women have curves. Why make the women who couldn't gain the weight if they wanted to feel bad?

 

I was thinking of those types of women when I said, "Generally, we are not going to have pencil legs, little boy butts, or narrow hips. Some women do and that is perfectly acceptable, too."

[ParasiteGod]

Bettie Page... Hell yeah! She had a nice body.

And I always thought Julie Newmar was so statuesque!

[builder]

Calista Flockheart looks like a malnourished refugee.

 

Interesting to see that a size zero has emerged.

 

Some fashion parades are refusing to allow malnourished refugees on the catwalk. Good for them.

Well,I have the pencil legs and my hips are fairly narrow, but the only place on my body that seems to gain weight is my butt. No little boy flat butt here, thank God.

 

I don't think women should starve themselves to be thin, but I don't think the ones that are naturally thin should be knocked for it.

 

5'7" and 106. I am small boned. Probably smaller than most who are considered small boned. My ring finger is a size 4 1/2. That is one reason my weight is so low. I also have a hyperactive metabolism. I'm not sure if this is related to that or not, but I kill watches. After about two weeks they just stop. I doesn't matter how much I pay for them.

Oh, Phantom is seething with jealously. I would give my eye teeth for slim hips but it just isn't going to happen.

That is exactly what I was getting at. No woman (or man for that matter) should be criticized for their natural body type. Humans come in all shapes and sizes. Unless you are morbidly obese and are making no effort to remedy the situation, our different body types are what make us unique.

Hm. That is interesting- never heard of watches stopping before. Do fast metabolisms interfere with the functions of watches?

Actually I think thats caused by a condition known as internal cerebral verbatia........or in simple terms, the voices in your head.

 

Thats crazy, Tori.

[RegisteredAndEducated]

I just like women. I do have a preference, I don't like em too big... Hell I'm picky as hell... But I still like most kinds of women.

[ToriAllen]

It won

[Anna Perenna]

I voted to bring on the fatties.

 

I don't understand anyone who gives a shit about people (men OR women) being fat.

 

I actually like it when my boyfriends are a little bit chubby. It makes them that much more cuddly.

[manicmonday]

Women are harder on ourselves than men are. But for the most part, the pressure from the media and society is on us women and not men.

 

I'll admit, I have terrible body issues. I'm 5'4 at 94 pounds. I have a fear of getting over a certain weight. That is my own demon. But obesity is on the rise, bringing with it the whole gammit of secondary problems. While anorexia isn't a great thing, neither is weighing 300 pounds and blaming it on "big bones". To those people, I say learn to throw up for a couple of month.

[Mack the Knife]

Does anybody remember that episode of the X-files where this guy would date fatties and then devour them alive for their fat?

[Anonymous]

Who the fuck is this??

[Phantom]

I hear you. I'm 5'7" and panicked when I weighed in at 125 on New Year's Eve. Currently in the process of losing 10 pounds but anything less than 115 at my height will make me look like shit. I would much rather have a little bit of fat to maintain my curves than be a lean stick. I have no interest in having the body of a 12 year old boy.

In my opinion, neither extreme is a good thing. Seeing a person who is obviously anorexic is just as repulsive to me (perhaps even more) than looking at an overweight person.

That's horrible advice!

 

On of my girlfriends told me what she does- instead of forcing herself to throw up after a binge, she never swallows the food. She just chews it up in her mouth to get the flavor of junk food, spits it out, rinses with water, and repeats. When she told me this I obviously had to tell her that this is a close cousin of bulimia and that I was worried for her.

 

Why do women submit themselves to the image the media tells us a woman should look like? Starving yourself to maintain your desired look is not natural. It is so much healthier to try to maintain your natural body type instead of forcing your body to become something it is not meant to be.

What kind of Chubby are you talking about?

That's amazing.

 

That's absolutely amazing.

 

For some reason, I'm laughing.

 

Ohhhh I have questions. Does she do this in restaurants? At her Mother's Thanksgiving Table? In the car? At her desk at work? Does she do this in front of people? I'd bet not. I'd bet ..this is Lunch Time Alone. That's the only way you could do it without horrifying everyone around you.

 

Oh my gawd. Imagine. You end up with this extra plate (oooh, let's hope she puts it on an extra plate) ..of Nasty Pukey Chewed Food.

 

Oh Christ. What a way to start a Saturday.

 

(my imagination is wayyyyy too vivid)

 

As for curves/fat etc.

 

As I've posted long before, I think people eat crap. Almost everything in the grocery store is crap, and all fast food is crap. I always wonder, "who buys this shit?" "who the hell is buying all the Twinkies? Why do they still make those?". Who's buying all the pop, chips, cookies, caramel apples, and Pirates Booty? Frozen dinners, canned "vegetables" and "soup".(AKA old grey salt in a can) It's all crap.

 

All that crap is what makes all the crap ugly bodies crowding my planet.

 

Curves are fine - on a healthy body. Exercise and good food give us nice looking bodies. Flaccid untoned bodies stuffed with twinkies and chips are ugly, no matter what size. Skin texture and tone, color...it's all greyed out and nasty from crap diets.

 

Jellied flesh beneath rubbery skin

 

oh gak.

[Anna Perenna]

I knew you looked familiar.

[Anna Perenna]

What kind of Chubby are you talking about?

 

The kind found on mens hips, commonly called love handles.

 

Why oh why do you ask?

Thanks for the vivid description! I had the honor of seeing her do this once. We met on a flight back when I worked for the airlines. No, she eats healthy food but spits out the junk. On the occasion she told me about it, she took a bit of a cinnamon role, chewed it up, then spit it out in the galley trash. It was horrifying. People are way too comfortable around me.

Amen. Amen. Amen. Although I do like the Healthy Start frozen meals. Low sodium/carb/fat/calorie. Good for a quick lunch and they aren't loaded with all the perservatives and salts found in most other frozen meals.
