So Many Girls Today, Yes Especially Girls, Have Trouble With How They Look. The Female Body Is Portrayed Today As If You're Supposed To Look Literally, Like A Walking Stick. I Myself Am Not Embarrassed To Say I Am Tall, And Curvy, Not A Stick. I Love How I Look And I Have Never Had A Complaint From A Person I've Dated. In Reality The Very Thin Body Type Is Impossible To Achieve Depending On Your Bone Structure And Height. I See Beautiful Women Everyday, And You Can Tell That They Feel Badly Of Their Bodies, They Look Down When They Walk, Or Try To Wear Baggy Clothing To Cover Themselves Up [Heh I Wear T Shirts About 3 Sizes To Big For Me, But Thats Because I Hate Shopping And I Grab Whatever Is The First Thing I Come Too : P]. I Have Had Friends Crying To Me About How Much They Hate How They Look, And I Can't Believe It Because These Are Beautiful Girls, AND Boys. Because It Does Effect Boys Sometimes As Well.

What Do You Think?

I'm skinny as hell. I was a distance runner for 5+ years of middle school and High school...but I don't immediately assume that everyone else should have my build. The only thing I dislike is excessive fat for your body type. Hell I've met 300lb+ people who look like they were meant to be that weight...but if someone has a small body type and they are obese or morbidly obese...they need to do something about it.

Oh, and clothing size is bullshit, wear whatever fits you and you think looks good. I hate it when people are so obsessive about clothing sizes that they buy multiple sizes too small...and it makes them look fat no matter if they are or not.

See Girls Obsess Over That Stuff. I Hear Them Saying "I'm To Big For This Shirt" And I'm All "Nuh Uh That Shirt Was Just Made To Small". I Guess It's All How You Think About It. And I Know What You Mean About Clothing Size...I've Seen People Wear Things That They Think Looks Good But Actually Looks Bad Because It May Be A Tad Too Tight...But I Mean If They Like It, They Should Go For It. And The Sad Part Is, Most Of These People Are Really Pretty, They Just Try To Hard. Yeah Once I Dated This Guy Who Was About Haha Like 120 Pounds And About 6 Foot Something. God He Was So Skinny. I Laugh About It Now. But I Mean As You Get Older, Your Views Change. I Think It's More When You're Hitting The Ripe Age Of 13 That You Obsess Over Body Image. But Then It Fluctuates. I Never Really Thought Much About It. I Think More Like "Hmm...Wonder When I'll Hit Level 70 In WoW" : P

Why Thank Ya, I Try ;] It Seems To Me Jail Would Toughen You Up Though. I Mean You Probably Don't Get To Eat Much, Then You Have Nothing Much To Do Other Than Perhaps Play Sports Or Work Out. So Body Muscle Would Be Gained.

very true, but you forgot the one thing they dont tell u on A&E and all those shows, they put yeast in your food, pretty much anything they can, they will stuff with yeast... not only does it fill you up faster, but its pretty damn cheap to buy... the only thing they didnt feel with yeast was store bought products you could buy with your commencary (jail credit or money), commencary is the reason i started playing the card game swiss almost religiously rofl

That is indeed skinny. I'm 6' and about 137lb and I'd look like a damn skeleton if I lost 17lb or so.

Yeast Really? Isn't That Basically Bread? Well Fiber Is Good For You. So I Can Understand Why It Would Fill You Up. Which Reminds Me Off Just Two Days Ago I Ate A Moldy Bagel Without Knowing It Was Moldy. I Could Sort Of Smell It, It Smells Like Earth Or Soil. But Isn't Mold Good IN Some Cases? I Dunno Haha.

I Know Huh? Haha. Most Of The People Around Where I Live Are Short Short, About 5'3 Or Shorter. That's When They Are Grown Up Too. But See My Whole Family Comes From The Western Portions Of Scandinavia, And Everyone Is Tall Over There. I Mean My Best friend, Comes To My Chest, If That. She's Funny Though. And A Huge Pervert. God I Love Her.

I'll tell you what the damn problem is. It often amazes me at how many people don't see it.

Society.

It is the fault of humanity for giving such strict definitions and expectations. I never wear skimpy clothes. To me it's just plain slutty.

One of the types of clothing I hate most is the skirt. Why? Because it gets the guys looking and the girls yelling. First of all, the guys should have enough respect to NOT look, and secondly, if the ladies don't want people staring, they shouldn't wear the s**t. That's how I look at it. Again, I may be coming off as a b***h, but it is rare that it doesn't take two sides to tango, and in this case, believe me, it takes two sides.

I have watched something on a website. They placed a girl in a seat and then they started to put on all this make-up and stuff. Then they used the perfect lighting and took the picture.

But here's the kicker. It showed them going into the computer and actually altering the image. So you see, society's "perfect" image is completely flawed and grotesque. I had to write an essay about this kind of stuff. GAH! It just gets me so irritated. And it's so amazing. But...I must stop now before I get onto a rant that I really don't want to...for all of our sakes.

I Don't Own A Dress Or A Skirt. I'm A T-Shirt And Jeans Kinda Girl. But Of Course My T-Shirts Always Have To Have Quirky Sayings On Them, Because Even If No One Else Does, I Laugh When I See Them x]
But I See Young Girls Wearing Skimpy Clothing All The Time, But The Thing Is They LIKE The Attention, They Lavish In It. I Couldn't Stand That Many Eyes Being On Me, I Hate People Who Stare That Could Be Why x] But I Do Agree, It Takes Two To Tango
