There is a new girl in our office today. I don't remember her name, or even what her position is, or where she came from. Already though, she is the bane of my existence

if it helps, I personally feel that the only people who are really atracted to/concerned with the "perfect" size ) women and figure are
A) other women and
b) guys who are supeficially concerned with how they apear to the rest of the world (i.e. latest phone, newest car, etc)

The rest of us prefer our women curvy, soft and above all REAL!!!

like you babe, take heart...you're just fine how you are..

"Instead of being tiny and frail and ever so feminine, I turned out curvy and voluptuous, with sex appeal that is difficult to express without coming across as sleazy or trashy, and impossible to express as innocent."

All hail North America's worship of the madonna/whore dichotomy. Wewts...

[cantstoptharock]

Yeah. Exactly. And it's not like there aren't alternatives or happy mediums, but they are incredibly hard and actualize when there are pretty much no examples to follow, nothing to look towards, nothing that seems acceptable either than one or the other of those.

I hate it. Meh.

We should totally team up to double-punch north america right in the babymaker.

Hey, I have to be measured up against her every fucking day, because she's a vancouver drum n bass dj and a girl and therefore we MUST BE CONSTANTLY COMPARED and of course being about 1/4 of my size and blonde and adorable in that prepubescent way that guys love.. I know how you feel. I just read 36 pages of a dnb message board thread salivating about how she was the "hottest woman in dnb". Never mind that while drugged up my boyfriend once told me that I'm not his usual type, and his usual type is "105-pound blonde girls".

And she's a totally sweet girl! But, yeah.

[cantstoptharock]

WHAT? She's not hotter than you (IMHO)! WTF. SRSLY. She's so generic looking.... People's taste sometimes makes no sense to me.

[ill_esha]

you'd be surprised... out of about 100 girls whose pics were posted including the incredibly GORGEOUS DJ Empress, all the guys were reposting her pic and going "WINNER!"

She's just one of those incredibly tiny people that will never look bad in a picture, has airbrush-flawless skin, a skinny body and great hair. The perfect composite image of what every shampoo commercial, makeup counter and magazine ad wants to sell you.

well, if it makes you feel any better, when i saw your picture and i found you intimidatingly gorgeous.

Oh, skinny asian girls are the bane of my existence too, even moreso because my parents have never hesitated to point to a skinny asian girl and say "Why can't you eat less and look more like her???" Through years and years and years of trying to build up my self confidence and be comfortable with the way I look, I totally understand that deep ingrained insecurity that even though this other person didn't do anything wrong, there's just something inside clawing away wishing this other person wasn't so "perfect". I think a lot of women feel this way, although many are not brave enough to actually admit it.

"Why can't you eat less and look more like her???"
This I've heard from the parents of skinny Asian girls. And also, my aunties. And dad. Well, technically, my dad said something more along the lines of "you're fat". heh. (sob)

But yeah, I admit my insecurity and spite all the time because I figure that everyone must be insecure about something. And I believe that the more insecurities become public, the less of an insecurity it will be. :)
