Female Body Image

hahahaaha
if I cared about money I wouldn't be going into the arts. ;D

 

Society has so screwed with so many if not all womens' perception of what the "ideal body" is. At one point or another we all have criticized our own looks because of what the media portrays as being beautiful, or because of something someone has said to us. People are often unhappy with themselves and will take out their frustration with their own body on others under the 'guise of giving constructive criticism. It's all not even worth it - life is short - and we all put too much emphasis on body image.

 

clever but no cigar.

you might not care about making a lot of money for *yourself*, however, more likely than not you will date/marry men who earn more than you do.

 

Oh really?
My current boyfriend is also going into the arts.
...And us marrying is a very big possibility.

 

divorce is also a big possibility, to, and as far as divorce goes, you're more likely than not to be the divorcer.

 

Hahaha.
You are right, divorce is always a possibility, but so what? There are reasons upon reasons beyond money.
Really, money is nice to have and everything, but it is not my biggest concern. Food, shelter, some lovin'... I'm good.
If you want to believe otherwise of me, go right on ahead.
But hey... in the years to come, if things go they way you expect them to, I shall send you a detailed report so you can gloat accordingly. XD

 

mmhmm say whatever you want, you could be lying for all i know/care.

 

You're right, I could be. haha.
Such is the beauty of online forums, yes? XD

I am not.
But whatever. This online debate will not have a huge effect on my life.

 

i'm glad you decided to share. feel validate now?

 

Oh, yes. My life now has a purpose.
And you?

 

being supportive of my husband as he brings home a paycheck every week and puts food on the table.

 

Well then, carry on. Happy trails.

 

frog. FROG LADY!!!!

 

??
Frog?

 

Ribbit.

 

*hops away*



So yeah....
How 'bout them Victoria's Secret models???

=/

 

Well, I guess there are not many girls out there who are happy about the way they look. Usually, girls who are slim and tall don't have large breasts, as portrayed by V.S. models... I myself am tall and thin, and I am told by other girls I don't have hips and female curves... so you can find plenty of faults with anyone's body I guess.

I noticed that Dove promotes everyday, average looking girls in their ads, in the hope of making all girls feel attractive - because they are attractive each in their own way, and there's no need to fit in any beauty patterns:

 

well it IS true that women with better bodies have more choices in men who are interested in them, which feeds our attention ego, which is like crack ... for me it was anyway. some of the hottest women out there are getting hit on 10-15 times in a week.

it's not wrong to want a man who makes some money or has potential to earn a decent living. it's about survival in our basic human nature. she has the babies and feeds and nurtures the family and he provides. her babies have to be able to live in shelter with food and clothing. some women take it too far today and make this basic instinct about *designer labels, fast cars and how much will he spend on me*.

 

I think you're right, MysteriousNight. I'm just as beautiful as any model, even if I am a bigger gal.

 

it's becoming an increasing problem for are boys, too. unrealistic expectations in this media age is tearing down our young men, too.
