I'm so tired of hearing: "Real women have curves! Size 0 is too skinny! Skinny girls all have anorexia! A real woman should be a size 10! Only girls who want to look like young boys are sizes 4 and 2

I hear that, five by five.

Also, can we please stop hearing about how men like women with curves? I'm tired of being told that I'm unattractive, and then have people try to duck out of it when I call them on calling me so.

amen! I'm so tired of: "I like me a woman with some on 'er bones!" It's especially bad in the South. There are hardly any skinny girls in the South, mostly because there are a lot of low income areas and (ironically) healthy food is expensive. But there is this whole culture that thinks that a woman should be curvy or (God help me) "meaty." That's a horrible way to think of a woman anyway.

You know something wierd? Back home, I never get hit on. I have always been passed over. That may be partly due to the fact I tried to keep to myself in high school, but I was also easily one of the thinnest girls in the school. Now that I'm in college, it's completely different. I don't have men around me like flies, but I do get compliments on my looks. It's a complete culture shock for me and I don't really know how to handle it.

Oh! Oh! Oh! You know what else I hate? When boys who like skinny girls are compared to pedophiles.

women look there best at the weight their bone structure and natural muscle and fat distribution dictate. Anorexics are grotesque, but a woman with that degree of natural slimness is often extremely attractive. Some of us like that so-called "boyish look"...^_^

as far as i'm concerned, natural is best. Anorexia and obesity aren't natural, but to expect all women to fit one body type is ridiculous.
