I don't know. After all 60 percent of women in the USA are overweight. Many of them morbidly obese. So if someone here thinks they are fat, they are probably right. And since I have to pay for your bad health in unfair healthcare costs, maybe put that second helping down, fatsos. Obviously the media hasn't had ANY effect on most slobs. Sorry to be mean, but truth is truth.
I'm not sure what advertisement everyone else is seeing in the top right hand corner of the youtube screen right now. But I find it PAINFULLY ironic and hilarious that there is an advertisement that has a picture of a prototypical blonde hottie with a push-up sports bra on and says "Lose 30lbs this summer? Try Sensa Free*!! Thousands of women are dropping pounds with Sensa. Click to Lose!"
I know that people think that models are thin because that's what the media might portray as being attractive but the truth behind all of this is you have to be so an so feet tall and this thin is really because of money. Designers only make one size and usually the sizes are all the same. When you use less fabric, you save a lot of money. So they make really tiny clothes. Put it this way, big corporations would lose a lot of money if they had to make everyones sizes. So love your curves girls!
A friend once said, only 5% of woman are good looking. Now if "80% of woman are dissatisfied with their appearance"? The other 15% are just too dam stubborn to admit that fact.
What in the world gave you this idea. Being skinny isn't everything. I have PLENTY of family/friends who are not skinny but they are BEAUTIFUL! It's not about being skinny, it's about being healthy and happy.
The problem is not the naturally thing girls. It's the healthy girls who starve themselves to literal DEATH. Or the beautiful ones who cry themselves to sleep because someone someplace has told them they're fat or ugly or unfit to live. Men drive body image, but girls, we do it to ourselves. A thin girl can have just as many body image issues as anyone overweight. It's about feelings. Every single girl is beautiful. Every one.
this video is offensive to thin people asking if those models look healthy. what about naturally thin people? i always get harassed and teased for being naturally thin.
@salv81889 I had the same thought myself. A couple of those models... though skinny.... definitely still look healthy.
Also, there is a drawing of a healthy looking girl looking into the mirror. In the mirror she looks 30lbs heavier and the caption is "Why do people see themselves like this?" A sentence that would have made the overall point in a better way could have been "Why do people exaggerate the way they see themselves?"
I am healthy, but a flaw of mine is my stomach. It's not a idealy flat like a normal girl's is. I wished my stomach was flat instead of have a size 34 C chest. It's not really pudgy, but there is some. I feel self-concious about it, and I worry guys will only see that and be turned off by it... Does anyone think guys will think I'm ugly because of it?
I don't know why people have to starve themselves, just get up on your ass and run around. Look at Micheal Phelps, he eats 12,000 calories and just works it all off.
I can relate. I HATE everything about the way I look. But at the same time, I also think more people are becoming self-aware of what they look like, which doesn't help.
brought tears to my eyes. Seriously things need to be done to change this. Boycott these magazines. Find some way to get the point across. To the young teenagers: we need to stand up and say we arent going to take it anymore because right now, adults are doing the talking. And maybe if we stood up and said something for ourselves, things would be a little different
apu1homer, I think that is very inappropriate. This video is sending a powerfull mesage to this topic and I think that the goverment should do something about these problems. So love it or shove it!
that was great. well done. excellent question posed at 1.34 "When did we become so ashamed of our bodies" and its follow up at 1.40 "When did we learn to hate them so much" really good questions that can bring people back to the roots of this problem and what may have started it. This will sound like a strange idea-go to a strip club and you will see a variety of different body types there too. Women who cannot look liek another woman. I know.
Powerful video. Exceptional questions and I thought I knew all there was to know about beauty ideals. Thank you powerful and it hurts and that's good.
Very Education a fantastic piece of information and very well put together thank you for taking the time. It made me think for sure.
And a good question I think it goes along side the question should young impressionable people be allowed to play games that involve taking a life with such ease and in a brutal manner. It's down to personal opinion i guess.
omgsh/....this is a really good vid..love it =D....

nice vid but, i know I'm not beautiful. I love these magazines there are good, they show you what real beauty is. common you can't tell me that EVERYBODY is beautiful.
General tips - do some exercise, have a good diet (have a bit of everything), let yourself have days off and have what ever you want and be just yourself.
Having a clear mind also helps, being a fool is also fun - everything adds up to make you fee goooood! :D
i personally never read any of those magazines, they are boring to death, prefer some poetry....
but i think this is a very serious problem of our time, when images of so called perfect people are everywhere
as a teacher i am very worried about the way young girls in my classes obsess about the way they look, i wished i could put other toughts in their heads about beauty. thats difficult though, i have noticed that a lot of people want to believe in superhuman beauty
Wow, this has a great perspective of one side of the views of the people. There is no such thing as a "perfect body". All anyone can do is try to be happy with what they have.
Fuck the rules! You guys are right. say yes to plastic surgery and all of those methods. we the right to feel good about ourselves. YES to plastic surgery!!!!!!!! By the way what's the name of the second song and who sings it?
cuz its so true!!! is it the oposite sex we try and impress??? cus go round and ask them, a v small amount like the stick thin look...its so stupid.. FUCK BARBIE :)
