  • @labonneruerouge Yeah, not buying it. If they did say c, it's probably because they can't tell what size they are. Men like big breasts. Not flee bites. Yes I criticize it. Because it's simply wrong. And I know exactly what I'm talking about. Trying to put yourself in a false sense of security won't do any good.

  • @liImasyakong I'm also a slim but a healthy girl my entire life. There's a difference between looking slim and looking like a starving Somalian kid. If this video was made to only criticize us women trying to perfect ourselves, then how come you boys also try to emulate Men's Health, XXL, and Muscle Fitness magazine cover models?

  • @CointossingkiIler Actually, we're supposed to be curvy and thin at the same time: thin with big round melons--- a natural impossibility. Like Heidi Montag and Barbie in one. Plastic surgery will then come to the rescue. Why do you think plastic surgery, botox, diets, lap-band procedures, and healthy food ads seem to only target women? I've never ever seen that many men in any of this ads, even though men also suffer from image issues as equally as women. Please don't tell me you're a feminist.

  • @liImasyakong Well, because the ideal body type for us women is an impossible one, curvy and thin at the same time: thin with big melons. that's it!

  • @DionLaurent1 Because that's what research says, go ahead and look it up- C is the preferred cup size. And your information comes from the exact thing you (wrongly) criticized my info for. If you want to pretend that you're right just to be right, that's fine, just don't try and argue about it when you have no idea what you're talking about and in NO WAY can speak for all men.

  • @labonneruerouge Well, I have met many who say it. But they don't act on what they say. And men like women with big perky breast. How are you going to tell a man what men like. Now that is Bullshit!

  • @DionLaurent1 Bullshit, I have never met anyone who said money doesn't matter cause no one wants to have to support a lazy partner. And that was from a study, conducted by researchers; not some girl asking guys on the street. Most men like average-sized breasts.

  • @CointossingkiIler haha, you're an idiot.

  • @labonneruerouge When asked women say money doesn't matter. But we all know that's a load of shit. Men aren't going to tell what they really like if the person asking it doesn't fit the description of their ideal woman.

  • They've conducted studies showing that looking at thin and attractive women makes women feel BETTER. It serves as motivation. Plus, no one wants a lazy partner.

  • @liImasyakong haha, sounds like someone is just chubby and doesn't understand fashion!

  • @DionLaurent1 When asked, most men liked C cups which is NOT big.

  • The verse at the end, just made this video a thousand times better <3

  • It's not just women. Men suffer through this as well.

  • @akawhippy The media does put pressure on women. To look like prepubescent boys. And it's women who buy into that and follow it and get depressed, that's their fault

  • @LiAvalanche looks ike someone is upset they have the body of a 12 year old boy

  • @LiAvalanche WOW! how fucking stupid can you get?You realize fast metabolism isn't the reason why skinny girls are skinny right? You realize that people who are fatter have a higher metabolic rate, since the body has to move around such so much weight.

    Also women can change their body type. I've seen skinny men bulk up to get huge. It starts with eating right and exercise. Thin women have no excuse.

  • 2:23 she looked better bfore

  • This video was put together beautifully. I find it it horrible (shocker, I know) that this is how women and men are portrayed. Self-esteem issues start at age five or so, when we are very factual about our appearance. They increase as we go through puberty and are suppose to decrease as we age; however, after being trained to feel bad about ourselves in those fragile years how can we gain self-esteem? It hard, for some nearly impossible. And that depresses me.

  • This is true...but for me its my hair.

  • @LiAvalanche I actually have that problem. I used to work out with my dad a lot, but I never gained much of a physically noticable build, and so I don't appear as the "mighty protector" many girls crave. And at the same time, I'm often pushed into guilt for simply having a preference for my own body type, simply because it isn't the majority, or because I get uncomfortable around big gals, and have to check that everything I say is PC.

  • 90% dislike their bodies? That's shocking.

    The thing I like to cite is how the media places much more strict standards than the actual preferences of men. The stats match up as long as people intake the same amount of calories. If 10% of girls are overweight, 10% of guys prefer overweight girls. The problem is in how the obesity epidemic changed all that. and so only 10% prefer overweight, but 70% are overweight. Suddenly, those 20% in normal range are getting a lot of attention.

  • As a naturally slender person I find it insulting when people say the only way to have curves is to a size 14. Bitch Please! Kim Kardashian is one of the most curvy women alive, and she's a dress size 2! My point is you don't need to be 140 in order to be womanly! Slender is just as beautiful as being larger and vice versa.

  • Way to go Twiggy -_- lol

  • Fat chicks should just stop trying so hard. Let natural selection do it's work.
