The best part is that almost every guy I know prefers a curvy woman to a skinny woman any day of the week. It just seems more natural to me for a woman to have some substance than to look like a little boy with makeup.
You are absolutely correct. The "heroin look" is absolutely goulish. Compare the "before" and "after" Lindasy Lohan:
Before the diet
After the diet

The King!Marylin Monroe wore a size 14. Nowadays she'd be considered "plus size" by Hollywood standards and would never get a job by the casting agents who think "sexy" is a 12 year-old boy and this is the look that female actresses need to aspire to.

Re #48
Media polarize people. Those who could have some shot of living up to media hype do it obsessively, even risking their lives.
Others simply cannot do it. One day, their body takes off like a rocket and gain huge weight. All in a span of couple of months in some cases. If you are hopelessly out of range, you quit. I noticed that this happens to many women after 30's. After that, they become real obese.
If you don't care about getting ahead or your body physiology puts you hopelessly out of range, you tend to become truly fat.
As a result, we have polarization as you observed.
It is the same with exercise. Those within range do workouts day and night, more than they actually need. It is really panic-driven and obsessive. If you are out of range, you become a permanent couch potato, and develop a real health problem.

OMG...that's
awful!
Reminds me of the girl who looked so good (the brunette) on Twin Peaks who later became a scarecrow.

Oops! Something was messed up on the "after the diet" pic. Here it is:

Good for you! I like your attitude.
Personally, I like big guys. I am not one of those women who likes the 160 pounders . I like 200-250 pound guys myself. I like them to be about 6'3" because I am a shortie at 5'4 1/2". LOL! But anyone taller than I am is ok. My normal weight is between 142 and 150.

I've seen Marilyn's supposed "size 14" dress at the Smithsonian. By today's clothing standards, she'd be a size 6 or 8.

I think the 'diet' you speak of is actually cocaine.

To impress other women or to impress yourself? Certainly your man loves you the way you are.

I just think its totally neurotic for a healthy woman with womanly features that are pleasing to man's eyes to try to diet away all "the good stuff." To what end? Total evaporation?
