i hate how every time the question of weight comes up someone always tries to say that you can't be healthy without being skinny. BMI exists for a reason, and someone can have a little fat on their stomach or a little jiggle to their thighs without being unhealthy or overweight. i think that someone that focuses all their energy on being thin and fit will probably be more unhealthy mentally than someone that lives with the fact that they don't look perfect and that focuses instead on being happy
@MrJgarin I highly disagree. I think your standard of what "fat" looks like and is, is most likely pretty warped considering that you are a product of this society.
A good appetite is VERY sexy, IMHO. And most guys will be thrilled to see you naked, imperfections and all. Love your body, whatever the shape, and most others will love it, too. - from a pretty typical guy.
I started dating my girlfriend when she was close to 250 lbs, and I honestly didn't really even pay attention to that part. She's now down to about 190, but because she wanted to be healthy, not because she wanted to look better to me. Girls, most guys don't care about "perfection," and the ones who do are jerks you shouldn't want to be with anyway.
Some days I'll see one of my friends and think she's fine and the next I'll think "fat bitch" and I feel horrible about it because she's a sweet person and beautiful in her own way. Sometimes I'll stand in front of my mirror and hate my slight tummy and the next day I'll see it and think "aww I still got some baby fat".
29/F slightly overweight, very attractive face (hey, i'm learning to be honest with myself) OF COURSE i compare myself to every single other woman! For as long as I can remember..even pre-puberty..my entire day centers around how my clothes fit and what i put into my mouth. I just recently increased my calorie intake and stopped weighing myself every morning bc i acknowledge this is an unhealthy way to think. I am trying to focus on being healthy and accepting that i will never look like a model
i think weight is not the point.... for sure... be honest people... how a girl look is important... but i think the whole package has to be harmony... you know... the girl / woman is attractiv or not... periot.... look at here and finish.. she dont has to be thin like a stick or fit like a sneeker.... just beatiful.. look at the girl in the video... shes beatiful and i think will be also beatiful, if she has 5 kg more.... the package is important...
As a guy i would like a girl that is ok with herself , that likes herself the way she is and doesn't let society push herself to huge extremes . I don't care how she looks or what brand she has , i just want someone that i can love and that can love me in return !
as a guy i would want someone who can eat a meal with me and not say there to fat i don't like when a girl is just bone an still trying to lose weight i don't get it. If a scale says your over weight then don't starve yourself, get on a plan no mc-donalds or burger king have a vegitible with every meal. what i'm trying to say is that uyou can have meat on you in fact thats good but dont kill yourself because you think your fat
Being stick skinny, is not healthy. You can argue to the death of me and I will never ever agree with you. Being HEALTHY (I hate the words toned & thin, too specific) HEALTHY is attractive. Feeling good about yourself, eating HEALTHY is important and a exercising is good for your health. If you think about this logically, woman with curves were originally thought to be sexy because in caveman days it meant a woman was capable of bearing children. It's comes down to you, and your body type.
This is not meant as a trolling comment: If the peer pressure to be thin is so overwhelmingly powerful for women, why is obesity among women of all ages growing at increasingly high rates? The two do not seem compatible at all. Either women are feeling pressured to "belong" by being thin, or they are not caring what they look like and are becoming obese. It seems that the obese tendencies are winning out over the "thin at any cost" trends-whether or not that is better.
@dunehog because the number of normal and healthy women is decreasing. We re moving towards extermes: on the one hand the food we re having gets more unhealthy as "dining out" becomes available for the masses. on the other hand, you have these women who wanna loose "a bit" of weight, so they stop eating for some time, but when they start again they will put on even more weight - the JoJo effect. In extremes, this can also cause a new eating disorder- binge eating - which has become huge
@virgipirgi : I understand what you're saying, but that doesn't seem to mesh at all with what is being said here: That Photoshop causes unhealthy pressure to make women want to appear healthy. The only way to be healthy is to eat well and exercise, and live a healthy lifestyle in other ways. If women are increasingly obese (as are men, too), then the alleged "Photoshop effect" cannot be forcing them to strive toward thin, lean physiques. They are mutually exclusive.
i am more attracted to women who are fit and healthy than just skinny. not fat by any means, but fit. somewhat muscular, although i hate to use that word
meh, its funny how all of a sudden every single man in America loves women with "meat on the bones" Sounds great in theory but the reality is quite different.I don't think these guys are lying, I just think denial, shame, and fear plays a big role in their answers.
@Mawiely Or perhaps they're finally being vocal? I know I've always preferred a person to look healthy, & that generally means "meat on the bones." I've never enjoyed the overly-thin, curveless form that so many adopt these days. Butt, hips & even breasts are all gone in today's "woman". It's like we're back in the '20's with the flapjacks where they tried to look more like boys, only now girls think it's girly & sexy to have bones visible through the skin & lack any sort of curve.
I think putting a Photoshop (or whatever programmed used) logo on the photo is a fair warning. Or putting a warning inside of the magazine cover. Or both! But I do think some warning has to be made because not everyone understands that most things are edited until its basically no longer the same person.
I am a dude, and I don't find women attractive. I think as long as you are healthy AND like how you look, you are perfect. The only qualm I have with this video is the fact that everyone thinks that Men are not at all effected by the strive for perfection, and demonize us for "forcing women to meet these standards." I know these are photoshops. I would never expect anyone to try and look like that. I have an eating disorder due to"perfect men" in the media and trying to match that standard.
Interesting series. I don't really read magazines so I miss a lot of this, but I think a simple warning is the best thing. I personally have no problem with people getting rid of some blemishes (pimples can go!) but laugh lines and natural aging? Come on. :) And the host, Sarah, has a lovely, fit body. I'm trying to be more healthy by exercising and changing eating habits, but I'm aiming for health, not a size 0. I hope young girls see this and realise they don't need to buy into this.
I don't want to be stick thin!! Nor big and hefty.
I love my curves, they're sexy and I consider myself lucky. Most guys love a girl of average weight and curves! Also, I love food, I won't starve myself. I won't bother with trying to be super skinny, but I will bother with working out and try to be healthy and toned. Don't try to be skin and bones, try to be fit and healthy!!!!
Funny thing is most people are looking only at the actual weight and lose the important stuff like muscle or water. And muscles take less space, tighten the skin, look better and to have then you need to eat properly anyways. Its way better to be 60 KG and muscular than 50 KG and fat( as in high fat percentage,20% and up)
I thought I was "normal" but now I realize that just the fact that I can't tell my girlfriends I ate a pizza or that I'm constantly thinking there's something wrong with me 'cause I'm all "ugly" that I'm quite destroyed by this.
a girl who looks and feels comfortable and pretty actually look prettier. it's not about how pretty their body is but actually how it is worn and used. definitely overreacting.
after all this fuss i have dealt with weight wise, you know what my boyfriend said to me? "i love you just the way you are, you aren't stick skinny, you aren't fat, you are perfect, and beautiful, i love you for all that you are, and i will love you forever, no matter what. So stop trying to be perfect, because you're already perfect to me, and that's all that should matter" he definitely helped me get through a hard time in life, and i love him for that<3
When I chose to start living as a girl I was highly conscious about each and every body feature, which might give me away. I felt I had to excuse my body for being in transition. At some point during the changes people started to tell me they would never have known and I stopped excusing myself. I went from a point where my work didn't allow me to tell anyone I was a girl to a point, where some places don't let me say I wasn't always. Social acceptance and physique go together. Sad but true.
I hate the 'stick super model' look that is in the fashion magazines. Not attractive. I think a healthy lifestyle of eating healthy (fresh fruits, veggies, and good proteins and fats) and exercise will result in what you should look like (not a blimp, not a stick, a nice halfway in between).
Us guys are FAR more attracted to a girl with a healthy weight than a girl who is underweight. Trust me, the vast majority of us find a malnourished body to be unattractive. Not to mention having an unhealthy mental image leads to a stressful relationship which is the last thing us guys want to deal with.
And the contribution from both these factors give rise to the issue that we are facing today. Therefore, it is unreasonable to put the blame on either gender.
I believe that there are two causes to this problem. One of which is the pressure to look good in order to attract. This of course is linked to the expectations of men and social pressure that suggests that the value of women is derived partially from their outward appearance. The other however, is a result of insecurities of the girl's part. This innate desire to be superior(in terms of appearance) to other girls results in girls wanting to look perfect.
simple fact: guys think the girls in magazines are hot but would prefer dating the girl next door. girls in magazines look hot but fake, most guys prefer a girl who they find cute to look at. And most of all guys are just as insecure as girls and wouldnt dare stand next to a hot girl from a magazine because it makes them look horrible. Men prefer natural almost every time
When I was younger the images I saw in magazines, and ads I thought all those women were real and not retouched. As I grew older I began to grow out and all those other things so at puberty. And I thought I was ugly. I am a size 12 now and I see these women in magazines, and wonder I wouldn't mind losing a few pounds but I don;t want to be media skinny!
As a guy, I can say that I would much prefer a girl who can eat a meal with me without discomfort or embarrassment. While I typically find girls who are of average weight a bit more appealing physically, that is far less important to me than being comfortable with who you are and how you look.
When I look at a girl i look for a natural looking girl not the type you get in FHM magazines!!
I go to gym 4 times a week, naturally I would look at a girl that also fit and look after herself. Everybody has got a bit of fat it comes with the lifestyle!! And that is normal, don’t know why you would go to the extreme to compare yourself with others in gym!
fat or thin its doesnt matter to me, when im going out with a girl i go on what i feel for the person, not their looks, its whats on the inside that makes you beautiful
i'm sooo fat! i do compare myself to other girls because it would take more than all the makeup in the world to cover up my hideous face!!! but i like this message!! thanks for the reassurance to be myself!! ;D it means alot!!! thanks diet.com!!!!!!!
@klightroxanduknowit I happened to stumble across ur msg. I just wanted to say please dont think that about urself. I know how u feel because I often felt the same way, when I was younger I didnt buy certain clothes I LOVED because I thought I didnt deserve to wear them as they were way to pretty for me. It truely can take a toll on u mentally, u are perfect the way u r, I'm religious, I dont know bout u, but I believe God took the time and effort to make u, love urself because He loves u
I like how she assumed that everyone on this video is straight. But anyway, I hate how girls think that they are fat no matter what clothes size they are. Its the inside that counts, I think.
no i dont compare myself to other girls , i do have body goals for myself but as for making comparasons i find it pointless , i rather look at them as motivation
I totaly agree. I used to look around and compare myself to others and would feel fat. I wouldn't believe what I heard when They didn't eat! And one of my friends said she was a size 4. and she also said "I'm too fat!" my friends all told her no, she was beautiful the way she was, but she didn't want to listen. Now when I look around and see other girls my age and they are super skinny, I know I shouldn't use them as my rolemodles and be myself. I like not feeling the pressure other girls expres
I'm that kind of skinny girl without an eating disorder. People who don't know me can make the decision quickly that I have. I can eat all day long and still weigh as much as the day before. Some girls & boys would think that the problem I have, is their biggest dream. But do you know what? It's not. I have low self-esteem and would love a few extra pounds on my ass and legs.
When people say to me I'm so skinny, is like calling a plump person fat. It hurts even if you don't think so.
@Kkarroliin I have the exact same problem. I eat all day and don't put on any weight, I've been the same weight for the last year and a half. It really does hurt when people say I'm so skinny because I struggle with my weight too, it's just at the other end of the spectrum to most people. It's nice to know I'm not alone :)
I prefer a more meaty girl. Skinny girls are no fun.
Girls with eating disorders are not only fooled by photoshop, but even if they know it, they become obsessed with self-destruction and narcissism.
Those celebs still look amazing without retouching and so do most women. But retouching is a service an industry demands. It's about the perception of impressionable minds and their education that needs to change, not photoshop or magazines. Don't make YOUR problems a federal case.
yes, i compare myself to other women, but not as much as i did when i was a teenager. i worry about my weight every day. but i'm working on accepting myself, and i hope that if i do other women around me will see that and feel more comfortable accepting themselves too.
@xmonarcx but not all girls understand this, its hard to see someone so "perfect" and sucessful and it happens to everyone there a guys with eating disorders too. I admit I have a hard time excepting my weight sometimes.
I find that there are women are losing their natural beauty / femininity through an obsession for an unnatural look that is being presented through the media.
I dont care about no single girrr man ....I'm married for gods sake.....helllllllllll no, my wife will knock the hell out of me....better try some other videos goooood byeeeee.
Just looking at some of these comments shows how ignorant some ppl can be....people assume that if you are fat you must not exercise and you must eat all the time.....they forget that there are many americans who have thyroid problems and pcos....which makes it next to impossible to lose weight no matter how healthy you are....as a sufferer of pcos I can assure you I eat healthy and can run circles around most skinny ppl but I am still considered overweight....think next time b4 you judge.....
As long as a woman is healthy and physically fit (this does not mean stick thin - plenty of fit girls have unwanted fat somewhere) and more importantly, comfortable with her healthy and fit body, there is nothing wrong. If someone is overweight and unfit, male or female, they need to get into better shape for the sake of their physical and psychological health.
I would like to say girls put too much emphasis on looks (I think they often do), but sadly a lot of guys care too much about looks.
We all have beauty in us, but ultimately we are all based in the same genome. There's going to be some commonality in that which instinctively attracts the opposite gender--and it's possible to create "hypothetical" looks which trigger that biological attraction. But biological attraction is fleeting. You don't want a guy to love you because you have a great ass, you want a guy to love you for who you are. Mags are trying to sell something--it's business. Is that what you're looking for? No?
If you look good, you look good. I don't know any guy while going out that is comparing girls who is the hottest. Only girls do that! Remember that girls :)
So sad to be a woman in this society :( We often criticize islam but I am sure that "muslims women" are more happy than us, because we want an impossible thing and that is making us very unhappy, sick, i have even seen women who killing themselves because they feels ugly! Our society is the worst wich make women unhappy. (REALLY REALLY SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH) I hope you will understand what i want to explain.. :) Big up for all ladies, we need bravery more than men because we are stronger than men
You girls have to understand that many if not most of us men prefer natural girls with ALL their imperfections. We like a few smile lines around the eyes, just a little padding to show you're real and most of all a down home personality. If you are getting your self esteem damaged by a picture in a magazine then maybe you should get a hobby. Go fishing for christ' sake!
@stwilegar You make a great point that most men prefer real women. You should be careful though to not blame women for their self-esteem issues when the beauty industry is mainly responsible. Check out Dove's "Onslaught" for more on that.
I am constantly comparing myself to other woman...but I'm learning now that if I eat right and exercise and just live a healthy life style I don't need to be a size 0...if I only ever get to a size 8 but i can run ten miles! that's all that i want.
No fat chicks! Sorry ladies, tight clothes do not make you look sexy if you are chubby. It only makes people laugh at you. Eat right, do some crunches, do some lunges, and actually work up a sweat. It isn't just for your looks, it is for your health too.
Doesn't matter what size you are. If you have a misfortunate looking face, no one will like you. Hence the term "butterface". I prefer larger peopel with a nice face to smaller people with "ugly" faces.
I'm going to go ahead and step out of my comfort zone, by saying guys are starting to deal with this, as a guy who has struggled in the past with things such as staring at his own reflection in passing windows. I spent seven years body building, got to a 300 lb max on bench and then after realizing I had been feeding myself a lie, I quite. Since then I have become more assertive, confident and foundational in my beliefs and find life enjoyable.Now i"m off to find those 7 years I lost of myself.
@myoungtama I actually was thinking that, men can be as insecure about their weight as women are. It's a bit strange the way these questions automatically suggest that it's 'a girl thing'. I'm very happy you've grown stronger out of your struggles:) I think guys should also have a chance to talk about their insecurities without being called 'a pussy', since it's just human. As a girl I can say I am happy about my weight and my life and wish that there were fewer beautiful people worrying.
I was a digital photography teacher in various high schools and noticed some of my female students reluctance to do the fashion photo unit. The answer was obvious.
I compare myself to my high school self a lot and need to stop, though it could be a good thing. I look at pictures of me then and think I was way too thin, but I ate a lot and walked up to 10 miles or more at least 5 days a week - to school, the beach, etc... I admit I need to lose a little weight, but not a lot and only for health reasons. Friends think I'm crazy because my goal size is a 12 and my goal weight is 175 lbs. Really? I'm tall and it doesn't look the same on me...
OK, its definetly a plus if my girl has sweet booty and a big rack, but thats just the bonus, for the starters, I want her to be healthy, as in, you dont smoke(occasional weed sure, but cigs or anything else hellz no) or get piss drunk every single bloody saturday. Its OK if you a bit skinnier or fatter than average, honestly if I have to choose between the 2, I would prefer slightly fatter than average over slightly skinnier.
I prefer anything that is healthy. I have always had a willowy frame and tend to be underweight due to a fast metabolism. I don't use scales or anything like that to measure myself. I don't care what dress size I am and I just make sure to take care of my body. Taking care of yourself will make you happy. :)
Its not surprising that in tests where men are asked to pick between a size 0-6, 8-12 or 14+ woman, the majority far prefer the 8-12 or the 14+ range rather than what is portrayed in media. 0-6 should be reserved as a medical conditional state, much like obesity and should not be tolerated.
Perhaps a symbol of some sort is in order, perhaps a small icon of a camera to indicate that that image has been altered. maybe even a counter for intensity of distortion but that might be a little too much.
But it didn`t come from myself, more when others told me I was ugly.
I think people should first look at themselfs before start offending others. I mean who`s really perfect? This video proves not even Cover-Girls are! But I guess it`s the way some people deal with it! And that`s not ok! Saying that some pics are edited might help! So I am definitely for it!
lol im 15 and i constantly compare myself to others, like.. ill be walking in the mall like.. shes skinnier than me.. i just hate looking at my reflectsion i feel horrible, all my friends are like 100 lbs litearlly. im not overweight, my BMI is 21, but i have hypothroidism so it makes it even harder to loose weight. it just bugs me how you bave to be a walking stck to look pretty.
If you look good at 90 or at 190 I don't care, if that is healthy for you and your body fine, I'm game. If you want me to stick around though you better have a personality because I'm not sticking with a idiot or a bitch the rest of my life.
i don't think men ask for perfection. They just appreciate girls who work out regularly and have a healthy lifestyle. That's enough to add fitness and beauty to anyone's body.
I want to have a toned stomach and perkier breasts, but in terms of the men and women I date, I just want them to be comfortable in their own skin. Personality matters a lot more to me than looks.
I like what I like. No preference. It mainly comes down to how sexy a woman is. This doesn't mean simply looks. It means personality, intelligence, how they carry themselves, and how comfortable they are with themselves. Looks may be a part of the attraction, but it's just a part. No matter how beautiful a woman is, I can't handle it if her personality is similar to a brick wall...
It's sad when someone thinks they're beautiful, powerful, and fabulous when in fact they aren't AS beautiful, nor powerful (if they keep thinking instead of DOING what is healthy).
Your "size" has nothing to do with anything, that is genetically predetermined. It's body fat, muscle density, overall health that counts. If you are not trying to survive in a hostile cold environment, there's no sane reason to lug around extra body fat as insulation. It's very simple, stop eating so much.
Despite being "normal" size at 5'6", I wanted SO badly to be a 6. Everyone was on my back about not eating enough. When I went into a grocery store I saw in the security video a woman of my dream size walking through and thought "Why is everyone coming down on me? That woman is my height and body type, and she looks great! All I want is to look like HER!" Then I realized the woman in the video was me. At that millisecond of recognition, the first thought I had was "Damn, my ass is huge."
@ClucknNeigh Oh my gosh. I did almost the exact same thing a few years ago. I had been desperately trying to loose weight for months and it really was bogging me down. I was walking into the grocery store and I was watching the reflections in the glass sliding doors when I saw this girl walking behind me. I was wishing my legs were that thin when suddenly I realized she was wearing my shirt. Then I caught it - it was just me. I wish we could all see ourselves that objectively more often.
@aC1dxN1gHtM4rEs I'm a girl and a year ago , i was a little chubby and with no boobs and ass , and i used to see other girls thin and pretty and with the perfect body ! Then , i heard a guy saying that i was really fat ant then i cried for days , and imade tons of exercice . I lost 8 pounds . I was just so happy ! But then , i was walking in a store wtha friend and there was a mirror in front of me . I said to her : that chick as huge boobs ! oh my ! She said : that's you , you're fucking hot !
@aC1dxN1gHtM4rEs I was at a day trip a few years ago and at the end of it a slide show of all the pictures taken that day is shown. As we were watching we came to a picture where a girl stood with her back to the camera watching people play a game. I thought,'damn that girl has a nice back profile' and then I realised it was me. Don't change what you have you are beautiful! And the person in the mirror always looks fatter to you.
i think that, other than morbidly obese, weight doesn't matter. just look at adele! beauty is in confidence. even if you are heavier than you'd like to be, carry your weight well and i will think you beautiful.
@misaki27 some women are that size even when they eat correctly and work out. Hell i work from sun up to sun down in a heavy lifting job and i aint even a size 2!! ontop of that i take hour long riding lessons working my core, legs and arms. I try my best to not eat cruddy food. And fyi riding horses.... for an hour plus lugging around hay feed and a horse who wants to stop and eat every other step... that is a LOT of work plus muckikng the 40 pounds of digested hay and grain. Size dont matter.
You all do realize that saying "Fit = turn on, skinny = turn off" or "Skinny is ugly, curvy is sexy" You're still hurting people. There are naturally skinny people in this world. You can just say everyone is beautiful because that's the truth.
Doesn't matter what a guy "prefers", most guys don't care at all. Even if there are ones that will reject a certain body type, there is NO type that we ALL reject.
@TheOJDrinker :) that made me smile. haha honestly I am a size 6 and I have issues with my body. Talking to guy friends sometimes we will start talking about my girl friends and it's cool to hear because even tho they (the girls) are all so different and maybe none have the body these guys would "like best", there's something about each one of them that the guys will say they find incredibly sexy. ex. a nice ass, legs, tits or waist
i am always comparing myself to other girls. I look to see if they are thinner than me in the legs, waist, arms, and even their face structure. Its a really bad habit, and i feel awful when i do this because these are also my friends who i am criticizing.
I've dated skinny girls, chubby girls, short girls, tall girls, etc etc. I really have no particular preference. There was a certain perfection in every one of them. No, I don't mean the "beauty is on the inside" cliche. I mean each of them was sexy in their own way. Maybe it was because they were all just healthy and fit, and only differed in their body type. I find guys that criticize an have a very specific "type" to be extremely annoying and insecure, and are usually either gay or pussies.
honestly this thing goes both ways, men arent seen as attractive if they dont have a full head of hair or washboard abs. or are too skinny. the problem is that most people just cannot put their priorities in order, they are so fixed on the way they look instead of who they are. and the media is largely to blame for that atleast nowadays.
There's no way that anyone is going to convince me that appearance isn't at the top of a guy's list of qualities that they're looking for in a woman. Fat men have a greater chance of getting married or having a long term relationship than women, and even aging isn't viewed as a 'crisis' for men - but women start to get obsessed as they get closer to their wile E. coyote moment. Weight should be healthy (whatever that is for each individual) and age...that happens to ALL of us eventually.
At the end of the day company who is wanting the pictures Photoshopped is selling a product so they want perfection when they advertise. Ferrari doesn't advertise their cars with scratches down the side and the bumper falling off. Its the people that read the magazines that are the problem.
@thomgreene1 I completely disagree with you. People don't look at that Ferrari and think, "Oh, my car isn't good enough. I need to do everything I can to buy a ferrari as nice as that one." Us girls... we feel bad about ourselves and look at our bellies in the mirrors and say hurtful things to ourselves. My personal favorites are, "fat pig, tub of lard, stuffed sausage, ect." If advertisements promoted people with natural beauty and achievable standards, we would all feel better about ourselves.
@sooperdoopershortpea I understand your point but in my eyes all women are beautiful the way they are. Yes maybe some in the eyes of society are more appealing but women shouldn't be so hard on themselves because they are not a size 6 a majority of men don't even like that... as someone who uses Photoshop I understand what it can do and how it can drastically change the way someone looks this I don't think is right.
@sooperdoopershortpea A few touches here and there is ok in my eyes. I am probably contradicting my last comment but I just think that women shouldn't be too hard on themselves because they are beautiful in their own way... I had a quick look on your profile by accident whilst I was opening the message and I don't agree with what you say about yourself I quite the opposite actually and I'm not trying to be creepy or whatever I'm just saying what I see :)
i hate how every time the question of weight comes up someone always tries to say that you can't be healthy without being skinny. BMI exists for a reason, and someone can have a little fat on their stomach or a little jiggle to their thighs without being unhealthy or overweight. i think that someone that focuses all their energy on being thin and fit will probably be more unhealthy mentally than someone that lives with the fact that they don't look perfect and that focuses instead on being happy

I started dating my girlfriend when she was close to 250 lbs, and I honestly didn't really even pay attention to that part. She's now down to about 190, but because she wanted to be healthy, not because she wanted to look better to me. Girls, most guys don't care about "perfection," and the ones who do are jerks you shouldn't want to be with anyway.

Some days I'll see one of my friends and think she's fine and the next I'll think "fat bitch" and I feel horrible about it because she's a sweet person and beautiful in her own way. Sometimes I'll stand in front of my mirror and hate my slight tummy and the next day I'll see it and think "aww I still got some baby fat".

29/F slightly overweight, very attractive face (hey, i'm learning to be honest with myself) OF COURSE i compare myself to every single other woman! For as long as I can remember..even pre-puberty..my entire day centers around how my clothes fit and what i put into my mouth. I just recently increased my calorie intake and stopped weighing myself every morning bc i acknowledge this is an unhealthy way to think. I am trying to focus on being healthy and accepting that i will never look like a model

i think weight is not the point.... for sure... be honest people... how a girl look is important... but i think the whole package has to be harmony... you know... the girl / woman is attractiv or not... periot.... look at here and finish.. she dont has to be thin like a stick or fit like a sneeker.... just beatiful.. look at the girl in the video... shes beatiful and i think will be also beatiful, if she has 5 kg more.... the package is important...

Being stick skinny, is not healthy. You can argue to the death of me and I will never ever agree with you. Being HEALTHY (I hate the words toned & thin, too specific) HEALTHY is attractive. Feeling good about yourself, eating HEALTHY is important and a exercising is good for your health. If you think about this logically, woman with curves were originally thought to be sexy because in caveman days it meant a woman was capable of bearing children. It's comes down to you, and your body type.

This is not meant as a trolling comment: If the peer pressure to be thin is so overwhelmingly powerful for women, why is obesity among women of all ages growing at increasingly high rates? The two do not seem compatible at all. Either women are feeling pressured to "belong" by being thin, or they are not caring what they look like and are becoming obese. It seems that the obese tendencies are winning out over the "thin at any cost" trends-whether or not that is better.

@dunehog because the number of normal and healthy women is decreasing. We re moving towards extermes: on the one hand the food we re having gets more unhealthy as "dining out" becomes available for the masses. on the other hand, you have these women who wanna loose "a bit" of weight, so they stop eating for some time, but when they start again they will put on even more weight - the JoJo effect. In extremes, this can also cause a new eating disorder- binge eating - which has become huge
virgipirgi 1 month ago
@virgipirgi : I understand what you're saying, but that doesn't seem to mesh at all with what is being said here: That Photoshop causes unhealthy pressure to make women want to appear healthy. The only way to be healthy is to eat well and exercise, and live a healthy lifestyle in other ways. If women are increasingly obese (as are men, too), then the alleged "Photoshop effect" cannot be forcing them to strive toward thin, lean physiques. They are mutually exclusive.

@Mawiely Or perhaps they're finally being vocal? I know I've always preferred a person to look healthy, & that generally means "meat on the bones." I've never enjoyed the overly-thin, curveless form that so many adopt these days. Butt, hips & even breasts are all gone in today's "woman". It's like we're back in the '20's with the flapjacks where they tried to look more like boys, only now girls think it's girly & sexy to have bones visible through the skin & lack any sort of curve.

I think putting a Photoshop (or whatever programmed used) logo on the photo is a fair warning. Or putting a warning inside of the magazine cover. Or both!

I am a dude, and I don't find women attractive. I think as long as you are healthy AND like how you look, you are perfect. The only qualm I have with this video is the fact that everyone thinks that Men are not at all effected by the strive for perfection, and demonize us for "forcing women to meet these standards." I know these are photoshops. I would never expect anyone to try and look like that. I have an eating disorder due to"perfect men" in the media and trying to match that standard.

Funny thing is most people are looking only at the actual weight and lose the important stuff like muscle or water. And muscles take less space, tighten the skin, look better and to have then you need to eat properly anyways. Its way better to be 60 KG and muscular than 50 KG and fat( as in high fat percentage,20% and up)

When I chose to start living as a girl I was highly conscious about each and every body feature, which might give me away. I felt I had to excuse my body for being in transition. At some point during the changes people started to tell me they would never have known and I stopped excusing myself. I went from a point where my work didn't allow me to tell anyone I was a girl to a point, where some places don't let me say I wasn't always. Social acceptance and physique go together. Sad but true.

I hate the 'stick super model' look that is in the fashion magazines. Not attractive. I think a healthy lifestyle of eating healthy (fresh fruits, veggies, and good proteins and fats) and exercise will result in what you should look like (not a blimp, not a stick, a nice halfway in between).

Us guys are FAR more attracted to a girl with a healthy weight than a girl who is underweight. Trust me, the vast majority of us find a malnourished body to be unattractive. Not to mention having an unhealthy mental image leads to a stressful relationship which is the last thing us guys want to deal with.

MrStupidhacker 2 months ago
I believe that there are two causes to this problem. One of which is the pressure to look good in order to attract. This of course is linked to the expectations of men and social pressure that suggests that the value of women is derived partially from their outward appearance. The other however, is a result of insecurities of the girl's part. This innate desire to be superior(in terms of appearance) to other girls results in girls wanting to look perfect.

I'm that kind of skinny girl without an eating disorder. People who don't know me can make the decision quickly that I have. I can eat all day long and still weigh as much as the day before. Some girls & boys would think that the problem I have, is their biggest dream. But do you know what? It's not. I have low self-esteem and would love a few extra pounds on my ass and legs.
When people say to me I'm so skinny, is like calling a plump person fat. It hurts even if you don't think so.

Girls with eating disorders are not only fooled by photoshop, but even if they know it, they become obsessed with self-destruction and narcissism.
Those celebs still look amazing without retouching and so do most women. But retouching is a service an industry demands. It's about the perception of impressionable minds and their education that needs to change, not photoshop or magazines. Don't make YOUR problems a federal case.

Every human and animal wants the best possible partners for reproduction.
For men it's money for women it's beaty.
But giving advice how girls get more beatiful by media is only a sign that men rule the society, because they make money out of it.
So the only way to stop this business of technical madness is to let women become more powerful:
They have to learn the absolute force, that is between their legs. Because attraction has only one goal: reproduction.

As long as a woman is healthy and physically fit (this does not mean stick thin - plenty of fit girls have unwanted fat somewhere) and more importantly, comfortable with her healthy and fit body, there is nothing wrong. If someone is overweight and unfit, male or female, they need to get into better shape for the sake of their physical and psychological health.
I would like to say girls put too much emphasis on looks (I think they often do), but sadly a lot of guys care too much about looks.

We all have beauty in us, but ultimately we are all based in the same genome. There's going to be some commonality in that which instinctively attracts the opposite gender--and it's possible to create "hypothetical" looks which trigger that biological attraction. But biological attraction is fleeting. You don't want a guy to love you because you have a great ass, you want a guy to love you for who you are. Mags are trying to sell something--it's business. Is that what you're looking for? No?

Its not surprising that in tests where men are asked to pick between a size 0-6, 8-12 or 14+ woman, the majority far prefer the 8-12 or the 14+ range rather than what is portrayed in media. 0-6 should be reserved as a medical conditional state, much like obesity and should not be tolerated.
Perhaps a symbol of some sort is in order, perhaps a small icon of a camera to indicate that that image has been altered. maybe even a counter for intensity of distortion but that might be a little too much.

i don't think men ask for perfection. They just appreciate girls who work out regularly and have a healthy lifestyle. That's enough to add fitness and beauty to anyone's body.

I want to have a toned stomach and perkier breasts, but in terms of the men and women I date, I just want them to be comfortable in their own skin. Personality matters a lot more to me than looks.

I like what I like. No preference. It mainly comes down to how sexy a woman is. This doesn't mean simply looks. It means personality, intelligence, how they carry themselves, and how comfortable they are with themselves. Looks may be a part of the attraction, but it's just a part. No matter how beautiful a woman is, I can't handle it if her personality is similar to a brick wall...

"Beautiful young people are accidents of nature. Beautiful old people are works of art."

It's sad when someone thinks they're beautiful, powerful, and fabulous when in fact they aren't AS beautiful, nor powerful (if they keep thinking instead of DOING what is healthy).
Your "size" has nothing to do with anything, that is genetically predetermined. It's body fat, muscle density, overall health that counts. If you are not trying to survive in a hostile cold environment, there's no sane reason to lug around extra body fat as insulation. It's very simple, stop eating so much.

Despite being "normal" size at 5'6", I wanted SO badly to be a 6. Everyone was on my back about not eating enough. When I went into a grocery store I saw in the security video a woman of my dream size walking through and thought "Why is everyone coming down on me? That woman is my height and body type, and she looks great! All I want is to look like HER!" Then I realized the woman in the video was me. At that millisecond of recognition, the first thought I had was "Damn, my ass is huge."

@ClucknNeigh Oh my gosh. I did almost the exact same thing a few years ago. I had been desperately trying to loose weight for months and it really was bogging me down. I was walking into the grocery store and I was watching the reflections in the glass sliding doors when I saw this girl walking behind me. I was wishing my legs were that thin when suddenly I realized she was wearing my shirt. Then I caught it - it was just me. I wish we could all see ourselves that objectively more often.

@aC1dxN1gHtM4rEs I was at a day trip a few years ago and at the end of it a slide show of all the pictures taken that day is shown. As we were watching we came to a picture where a girl stood with her back to the camera watching people play a game. I thought,'damn that girl has a nice back profile' and then I realised it was me. Don't change what you have you are beautiful! And the person in the mirror always looks fatter to you.

i think that, other than morbidly obese, weight doesn't matter. just look at adele! beauty is in confidence. even if you are heavier than you'd like to be, carry your weight well and i will think you beautiful.

I'm not sure if size 10, 11 and 12 are 'okay' and healthy. Isn't that considered bit obese?
misaki27 5 months ago
@misaki27 some women are that size even when they eat correctly and work out. Hell i work from sun up to sun down in a heavy lifting job and i aint even a size 2!! ontop of that i take hour long riding lessons working my core, legs and arms. I try my best to not eat cruddy food. And fyi riding horses.... for an hour plus lugging around hay feed and a horse who wants to stop and eat every other step... that is a LOT of work plus muckikng the 40 pounds of digested hay and grain. Size dont matter.

You all do realize that saying "Fit = turn on, skinny = turn off" or "Skinny is ugly, curvy is sexy" You're still hurting people. There are naturally skinny people in this world. You can just say everyone is beautiful because that's the truth.

Doesn't matter what a guy "prefers", most guys don't care at all. Even if there are ones that will reject a certain body type, there is NO type that we ALL reject.

@TheOJDrinker :) that made me smile. haha honestly I am a size 6 and I have issues with my body. Talking to guy friends sometimes we will start talking about my girl friends and it's cool to hear because even tho they (the girls) are all so different and maybe none have the body these guys would "like best", there's something about each one of them that the guys will say they find incredibly sexy. ex. a nice ass, legs, tits or waist

i am always comparing myself to other girls. I look to see if they are thinner than me in the legs, waist, arms, and even their face structure. Its a really bad habit, and i feel awful when i do this because these are also my friends who i am criticizing.
letsbesnazzy 5 months ago
I've dated skinny girls, chubby girls, short girls, tall girls, etc etc. I really have no particular preference. There was a certain perfection in every one of them. No, I don't mean the "beauty is on the inside" cliche. I mean each of them was sexy in their own way. Maybe it was because they were all just healthy and fit, and only differed in their body type. I find guys that criticize an have a very specific "type" to be extremely annoying and insecure, and are usually either gay or pussies.

Missannaiscoollike 5 months ago
honestly this thing goes both ways, men arent seen as attractive if they dont have a full head of hair or washboard abs. or are too skinny. the problem is that most people just cannot put their priorities in order, they are so fixed on the way they look instead of who they are. and the media is largely to blame for that atleast nowadays.
matrox999 5 months ago
There's no way that anyone is going to convince me that appearance isn't at the top of a guy's list of qualities that they're looking for in a woman. Fat men have a greater chance of getting married or having a long term relationship than women, and even aging isn't viewed as a 'crisis' for men - but women start to get obsessed as they get closer to their wile E. coyote moment. Weight should be healthy (whatever that is for each individual) and age...that happens to ALL of us eventually.

At the end of the day company who is wanting the pictures Photoshopped is selling a product so they want perfection when they advertise. Ferrari doesn't advertise their cars with scratches down the side and the bumper falling off. Its the people that read the magazines that are the problem.
thomgreene1 5 months ago
@thomgreene1 I completely disagree with you. People don't look at that Ferrari and think, "Oh, my car isn't good enough. I need to do everything I can to buy a ferrari as nice as that one." Us girls... we feel bad about ourselves and look at our bellies in the mirrors and say hurtful things to ourselves. My personal favorites are, "fat pig, tub of lard, stuffed sausage, ect." If advertisements promoted people with natural beauty and achievable standards, we would all feel better about ourselves.
sooperdoopershortpea 5 months ago
@sooperdoopershortpea I understand your point but in my eyes all women are beautiful the way they are. Yes maybe some in the eyes of society are more appealing but women shouldn't be so hard on themselves because they are not a size 6 a majority of men don't even like that... as someone who uses Photoshop I understand what it can do and how it can drastically change the way someone looks this I don't think is right.
thomgreene1 5 months ago
@sooperdoopershortpea A few touches here and there is ok in my eyes. I am probably contradicting my last comment but I just think that women shouldn't be too hard on themselves because they are beautiful in their own way... I had a quick look on your profile by accident whilst I was opening the message and I don't agree with what you say about yourself I quite the opposite actually and I'm not trying to be creepy or whatever I'm just saying what I see :)
