Thread: Who set the standard?

Who set the standard? Why are we so obsessed to have no butts? There is nothing more attractive than our beautiful natural curves ladies! A small, flat, or pancake butt is not all that attractive!!! Genders, races, age groups come in different shapes and sizes. Conforming to what one group generally looks like as a standard of beauty is _______-well you fill in the blank. Junk in the trunk is a GREAT thing. As long as one is fit and healthy, love what you got and stop trying to be built like an 8 year old boy !!!! We're women not drag queens.

Well I probably can't say too much about women and their body image and the obsession the world has with the way women look without coming off sounding like a rampant lesbian feminist! (Not that there's anything wrong with that! ) However I completely agree with you inquisitive.
Considering we all get old and wrinkly eventually, it's such a shame that people can't just appreciate women for who they are and not how they look.

Although, I've always been supremely jealous of drag queens!! I mean all that glitter and over the top glamour!! Wish I could be a drag queen for a day! It's always looked like soooo much fun.

Turquoise thank for your reply. For the record you are WAY TO FUNNY!!! I'm still laughing. I didn't think you meant it this way but just for the record I wasn't dragging on drag queens. The DQ's I've known are fun people! Thanks again.

...Some men like stick figures.

Used to be a stick figure, boys called me Olive Oyl and Bones. Now I'm curvy. Men like 'em both. Men like it all. They're never as picky as they claim to be.

I guess the problem is that most - not all - women think the grass is greener on the other side. I wish I had the thighs I did when I was a stick figure - or anyway - appreciated the thighs I had, but I'll happily give them up for the D-twins and the tushie.

Well the new trend seems to be big curvy butts and big chest so that's good for a lot of women.

I looooove my big boobs and fat butt. That's right, my butt isn't "big" or "round," it's just "fat" and I like it that way.
The way I figure, if I can jog a mile without stopping to walk at all, I'm in decent shape and I shouldn't worry about my body if my man doesn't. I'm 5'8", I'll never fit into a size 0 (my hipbones aren't that small!) and I shouldn't try for something that will just make me miserable when white chocolate macadamia nut cookies from WalMart make me soooo happy ...
But I feel bad for girls whose hip bones do and should fit into a size 0, since people make fun of them a lot. We just are ... who we are.

Curvy behinds and thick thighs that is all right with me. I know what I like and a flat olive oil figure is just not as attractive.Why should any man still think that with a burger gut and man boobs he has to critique any woman. My wife is constantly saying her butts getting big and I constantly tell her it is just fine. I just want to see it more.

This has always been the way I feel. I've always had a "bad taste in my mouth" about this. I've wondered why it seems that a girlfriend/wife couldn't gain 5 lbs. but her husband/boyfriend could get bald and fat and it was ok. I'll stop there .... I get really riled up when I talk about this subject with my boyfriend .... he kids me and tells me I'm a man hater.

I hate the way the media and Hollywood tries to set the standard as to how women look - anorexic.
