And anyway, to be totally honest I would prefer a woman who's bright enough to be more knowledgeable than MTV concerning what size she should wear.

I'm just saying that that is what we are spoon fed constantly. to the point we don't even realize how tiny these women are. we just think that is normal. not until the tide of public opinion is strong enough to stop it. supposedly some high end fashion designers are "banning" starving models, it's hard to tell. I was watching some talk show with victoria beckham who announced that she is a size zero "but healthy". she is also supposedly discouraging size zero models. hard to tell as far as I am concerned

You might say, from other women, but then I would ask where these other women get that from, and well, there's the media... (don't get me started... I see KK beat me to it.) and, I should just stop here and not go there. Leave it at one's personal experiences.
I, personally, care more about how a man treats me, than what he looks like.
If he treats me right, I see him as the most handsome man I know! Which reminds me of an old movie, I saw as a young girl, which left a huge impression on me. I don't know if anyone remembers the 1945 movie "The Enchanted Cottage" with Robert Young & Dorothy McGuire. I would like to see that again. I'll have to look into it.  |
I have been watching "Mad Men" since it began and am fully enjoying the attention the female stars are getting with their "real" curves and that the show's director (?) has forbidden the stars dieting.
until young girls can understand the difference between being 10 pounds over weight and being morbidly obesce, there will be eating disorders and body dismorphia
