To women i say show some willpower. By the time girls deal with this issue they should be intelligent enough to have there own morals. I'm seventeen, and I don't care that I might get made fun of for looking a certain way. You don't have to feel bad about yourself if just take sometime to think it out.

Personally girls that are skinny seem more attractive to me simply because it shows they have willpower. A girl who is over weight just says to me that they don't care about there body, or that they are unhealthy. That is completely unattractive. Gotta stay in shape guys and girls.

As far as the whole issue where they are trying to put weight minimums for models, i disagree. I thought this was America? Everything has become so PC its getting out of hand. I am a libertarian all the way. Its all about the choices you make for yourself. And thats whats important
Unfortuately, the image of thin has pervaded grade school and girls as young as 8 are being enslaved by a diet culture. You might find it helpful to understand this concern better if you read some of the recent literature on the subject of eating disorders. It isn't because we have a PC culture that these issues are coming up. It is because eating disorders continue to be on the rise. Wherever Western TV programming airs, the number of eating disorders radically jumps. This shift happens in a matter of months, in cultures that for hundreds of years celebrated full figures for women.

Things are often not as simple as they appear. The obsession with thinness for women doesn't directly affect most men, because the brainwashing isn't aimed at them, but it is important that they try to see what is really happening and not dismiss it. Positive role models are necessary for people to develop a good self-image, and positive body image cannot be possible if we don't see it reflected in the media. The Dove campaign for Real Beauty is one way to fight it, so I hope consumers respond by buying DOVE - then maybe the other companies will stop promoting an image that hurts women.

I preach about this to my students, can't help it - we have to be part of the solution. I encourage you to learn more about this, as it will give you even greater insight into women (and chicks really dig that
Demeter Reviewed by Demeter on . Things that you hate I was thinking today about all the things that I hate. So ladies get it off your chest. I hate when I get chills right after I shave and get stubble again. Its like my hair magically grows back in that instant. I hate shaving period. I hate washing the dishes. I would rather clean the toilet all day. My husband has since learned not to do this but I would hate it when he would say "well my mom done it like this". Rating: 5
