Concerns about Hollywood skinniness seem misplaced

We seem to be watching a horror show of too thin Hollywood actresses. Or at least that would be the observation of anyone who even skims the tabloids, talk shows or People Magazine...

Opposite attraction..lol?

You'd be surprised! A membership to LA Fitness (and yes I actually go) and careful monitoring of my caloric intake has produced some pretty incredible results.

Okay, I'm a long way from skinny, but I'm down about 55 from my lifetime peak weight, and I plan on shedding another 15-25.

Then I should be BUFF, baby.... :o)

I just think fat makes women masculine which is a turn off.

???

Curvy hips, round posteriors and full breasts make women look masculine?

Most people associate wiriness and muscles with men and softness and curves with women, not the other way around.

I really don't understand this comment.

[najida]

OK, on second thought,

For me the kicker is when you see a guy comment on a woman's body and it's SO off....

I've seen beautiful, healthy women called 'cows', 'lard asses'etc...by guys who could keep Crisco in business!

It's worse than pot calling kettle black...it's pot calling Royal Doulton rusty.

Go, Laz! :o)

I would like to drop maybe 10-12 pounds. I'm 6'2" and about 225 right now.

Has been since the beginning of time.

Or at least men have liked to believe this since the beginning of time. ;-)

[sarasota]

OMG! How is that "woman" still breathing? From what I've seen in various documentaries, these girls/women see themselves as much heavier than the mirror shows them. The horror.

[Clemenza]

Men like WOMEN WITH BODIES! We LOVE T-TS and A-S! WE DON'T WANT WOMEN WHO ARE BUILT LIKE BOYS!

There is a reason why Hollywood promotes the boyish body: F-A-G-S.

Don't Freepers have to excerpt their workouts?

[Clemenza]

Ray Ray is the second sexiest woman on television. Did your husband see her Maxim spread a few years back?

[hispanarepublicana]

Mr. HR doesn't read Maxim. Doesn't need to.

Another rule of English flouted (and then flaunted).

Well met, sir. Obviously they have better things to do than "pour" over the dictionary (.... another pet peeve of mine).

[I'm ALL Right!]

ICK! Looks like a Holocaust victim. Who is that?

[najida]

Trust me,
Talking to one will make you bang your head against the wall. They see themselves as obese, they're so afraid off food they nearly freak when it's brought in the room....and talk about manipulative and sneaky!

[Clemenza]

Ann Coulter is BUILT LIKE A BOY!

To each his own I guess.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

In real life, I often see attractive, fit women with overweight (not morbidly so, but noticeably) out-of-shape men.

I see that often, but I also see the converse often, as well.

[TheBigB]

I would post a pic of Vida Guerra, but it'd get yanked quickly.

The PICTURE, I mean.

[Lazamataz]

I would like to drop maybe 10-12 pounds. I'm 6'2" and about 225 right now.

According to the chick at LA Fitness, I presently have 180 lbs of muscle mass.

Without removing my brain, it would be physically impossible for me to get down to 215.

Of course, some people would suggest I do just that. :o)

[Glenmerle]

but I'm down about 55 from my lifetime peak weight

Congratulations!

[Clemenza]

MMMMMM...Vida Guerra!

Another rule of English flouted (and then flaunted).

Just last night I heard a misuse of "flaunt the rules" on a TV series. Made my skin crawl.
