    I totally agree with you there. Im a beanpole naturally, and sometimes it can hurt when everyone thinks you have an eating disorder. And like you said, how people blame the media for having poor body images. I remember some campaign or whatever came out a few years ago with the slogan "real woman have curves." Well, unfortunately, not all woman have curves. I have an A cup and theres not much of a difference between my hips and my waist, so apparantley Im not a real "woman." Whatever. I think people should not worry about what anyone says they should look like, they should just worry about how they feel.

    i wore a hat all the time, and had to go to a trichologist

    having your head tenderly messaged by an old lady is, to a varying degree - liberating, weirdly erotic and just about weird enough that it made me ask my mother to the local disco.

    I'm short and thin, but definitely not a stick figure. However, I have a lot of female friends with large frames, and I feel so uncomfortable when they talk about their discomfort with their bodies. I find curves really attractive, but I know that my friends hear "oh, but you're perfect the way you are!" so much that I'm sure it has lost it's meaning. I want to say it because I MEAN it, but I don't want to annoy or offend anyone. I wish I could tell 'em they're so beautiful the way they are, but how could they believe me when so many people toss around comments like that without really meaning it?

    My insecurity is my forehead lol. It's not huge, but definitely closer to a five-head than anything. :(

    As a curve-less woman I was kind of upset by that ad... I guess I'm not a real woman either. Anyway, I totally agree with your post.

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

    And this is what a beholder looks like

    I'm sure all of you are much more beautiful than that :D

    Yeah I have a major underbite although I'm really attractive. I'm always being judged and construed.

    Hello,

    a beholder looks like how I remember a teacher from elementary school.

    I'm somewhat insecure about my height. I'm barley 5'3, while my girlfriend is 5'8. Sometimes, I wish I was a little taller.

    Actually if someone rejects you, you will probably feel uglier.
    It's not just the media's fault.

    Issues with our bodies do not hinge on the way we look, but the way we see.

    I agree!

    Beauty is also a matter of culture. My family is armenian and for them, a woman has to be curvaceous to be beautiful. I grew up in Canada, in a country with very different beauty criterias, so I had a another example of what a beautiful woman is like. It was confusing at times, I could be called a fat-ass at school and once back home be told I should gain a few pounds. :tongue:

    I'm proud of my tall and curvy body now, love to wear stretch clothes and show it. I have some issues with my teeth (coffee drinker and smoker here!) and my sensitive skin, but with the needed care it looks just fine.

    I do have insecurities but they come from other people saying shit like my whole life everyone feels the need to comment on me being skinny... just got to the point now where i am SICK of hearing people speak of it so i try to cover it up... trying to put on weight but it's really hard.

    If people didn't comment on it every fucking second it wouldn't bother me, yes i'm skinny thanks for fucking noticing.... funny how it's seen as rude to comment on peoples fatness but not skinnyness....? bit odd
