Anorexia kills Brazilian model

Sandoz said:
We used to like fat women because food was scarce. Hence fat -> rich. Now there's food all over the place and we're sedentary, so being thin means you have the time and money to go to the gym.

Same thing about skin color. In the old days beautiful women had milky skin because peasants worked in the sun while aristocrats stayed in the shade. Today tan is beautiful because tan means you can afford to go on vacation.

Both standards take just as much work (believe you me, staying thin and tan is a LOT of work), but the difference is: anorexia and skin cancer kill.

Though I believe I'm a long stretch from either. Hopefully.

Thin (assuming its not too thin) means you're in good health.

You see you are buying into the myth that overweight women are sexually undesirable. Yet men I generally blamed for women killing theirselves to be thin, but maybe its your problem rather than ours.

OK much fatter than that and I wouldn't touch her with a barge pole, but I genuinely think that you have got it wrong in which way is best to go in terms of weight.

I think this woman is attractive, she is buxum and soft and likely to be nice to snuggle with. She takes care of her hair and her colour and her makeup.

Is it attitudes like yours that make her do it, imaplanck?

Hey Im no sexist(really im not;) ), but we all know that body image all comes down to desired attractiveness to the opposite sex(for hetrosexuals anyway).
If one believes it's for competition with other women, what does one suppose they are competing for?

I know several intelligent, happily married women who are constantly worrying about their weight. The problem runs much deeper than who wants to fuck who.

Yes but it all stems from desirability and desirability equates to how sexually attractive a woman is.

Reminding me of a bone ....can you imagine how long a guy's dick would have to be to get throught all that fat just to get to the "meat of the matter"???

An anorexic Brazilian model just died from her disease. (Story)

I think this is totally fucked up. It's one thing to want to look athletic, or even thin, but the way fashion models look is just ridiculous. I don't know any woman (including me) who truly feels good about her body. This is in part due to our nature, but the fashion industry imposing impossible, photoshopped standards of beauty on women multiplies it.

Women need to take their fate into their own hands and start setting some realistic beauty standards. And stop feeling so goddamn bad about themselves. Either you want to be thin, you shut up, watch your diet and work out like I do, either you don't and you shovel chocolate down your throat, which is just as good. The problem we have today is the girls who feel bad about their body, so they eat to feel better, so they look bad, so they eat etc. Grr.

The industry is controlled by gay guys (that is, the annoying kind of gay, not the friendly one). So they like that little boish figure. Men (or at least me) detest it... :bugeye:

You're absolutely right.

The problem is that men too are starting to turn into a gay man's fantasy, hairless and boyish. *shudder* What ever happened to real men?

I still remember back when I was a junior in HS. I was on the bus.. and this kid (sophomore) was bragging about his shaved arms.

WTF?

We are starting to see reversed roles. Women are trying to become more masculine to compete with men... and those men that cannot cope with that are becoming more feminine. It's almost as if the brain is wired to act opposite the other gender and it is not programmed for a set of roles based gender. If a women is tough, men act weak. If women act weak, men act strong.

That or society is telling the alpha male to get lost.
 
Yes, it's terrible. Women ashamed of being real women, men being ashamed of being real men...

And if the alpha male isn't welcome in today's society, he'll always be welcome in my arms.
