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...

[Mr. Jeeves]

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

No, it's the fat stomachs, thick arms, and double chins that come from American junk food diets that make women look masculine. Something about high fructose corn syrup and trans-fats that makes women gain weight in the same areas men usually gain weight - that's what's unattractive.

Heh. :o) I've been going to my local Y for the past month and a half. I've dropped a few, I think. It's never easy to keep oneself on a rigid schedule. But I'm trying.

[sarasota]

I've never talked to one. They've gone beyond mental with an attitude like that.

I am SO PROUD of you! That's wonderful, Laz. Good work!

You'll be BUFF baby, and soon. Be sure you're mentally ready to fight off the chicks...lol... at least the fat ones. :)

Lindsay,

Have you been taking stooopid pills or something??? You were THE SEXIEST, Most Voluptuous, Most Beautiful young face in hollywood in twenty years, a True redhead to boot!!! And what do you do… you intentionally turned yourself into just another skinny dumb blond!!! Hello… anybody home??? Skinny blonde’s are a penny a dozen… true redheads as beautiful as you are one in a MILLION!!!

You had the ability to turn men, REAL GROWN MEN, weak in the knees when they looked at you because they were embarrassed to lust after one so young… though they had no choice and couldn’t help themselves. I know, because I was one of them, and I was much relieved when you turned 18.

Whoever talked you into the blond with fish lips look should be fired and or sued… BIG TIME!!! If it was one of your dumb blond contemporaries, you should realize they are jealous of you, and they did it to make you LESS BEAUTIFUL than they will ever be. They are not your friends let alone trying to help you. And if it was your idea… either up the voltage or lower the dosage because your raging hormones have turned your brain to mush.

The smartest thing I ever heard you say was you didn’t want to talk about politics because you didn’t want to alienate ANY of your audience… that was shear genius, but now you are giving away money to socialist politicians. Has the bleach gone to your head??? If you must contribute to these types at least do it anonymously. It’s better to be thought a fool in anonymity than to sign you name and remove all doubt.
Again… don’t let the people around you sucker you into political donations or statements lest you wind up like the DitzyChicks did!!!

You have some real issues to work out like all young people do but don’t mess with perfection cause you’ll only screw it up!!! I pray that God will return you to your former beauty and then PLEASE Keep your mouth shut when not acting or singing.

God bless…
Chode

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

I've seen it countless times.

Among my friends, the few really handsome guys who coast on their looks and dabble in acting, bartending, etc. have no problem generating one-night stands with attractive women. They have less luck in pursuing long-term relationships with women, who come to realize that they are unserious, irresponsible slackers.

The average-looking guys who have good jobs and real careers are generally married to or dating attractive women as well - and the better they are doing the more attractive the woman.

[TheBigB]

Don't hold it in, Chode. Tell us how you really feel! </spaceship Bob>

[Skooz]

So, who's your number one?

Mine is Robin Meade.

[The Toll]

That is why I said it is just a matter of taste. I don't think Coulter looks boyish at all. Some of the things I find attractive in women are different than what other guys like. I like small wrists and long thin legs and I'm even attracted to collar bones. Don't know why exactly, that is just the way it is. When a small women curls up next to me she feels vulnerable and in need of me protection or something. I never get that feeling from girls that are to large for my parameters.

I do think there's some truth to what you say, but I think the point that guys often miss (I'm not trying to be offensive here) is that "willing to put up with" (because one is not a shallow twit) does not equal "being attracted to."

[Clemenza]

The number one most beautiful woman on television is the Persian Princess, Rudi Bakhtiar.

[fortunecookie]

Add Hillary Duff and Kelly Clarkson to that list. It's like the race is on to be George Hamilton tan with ribs sticking out (like a rotisserie chicken) and uber blond hair or highlights. Ugh. Remember 'Malibu Barbie'? They all want to be her. Not a good look, at least for most.

[Chode]

naaa, that'd just get me in trouble... 8^)

[Skooz]

Have you ever watched Robin Meade in the wee hours of the morning?

Most beautiful woman on television. By far.

[TheBigB]

This from someone who does it with an android with an 8-inch waist. ;o)

[najida]

Every guy alive needs to read a few bodice rippers (especially the new ones) to get an idea of what a woman wants or at least sees as her impossible dream ;)

And what she's willing to 'put up with'.

[Skooz]

Dude, have you SEEN that android? :0)

[wideawake]

I think "willing to put up with" is right.

Obviously women would prefer a guy with a good career who also happens to look like George Clooney - but they are willing to sacrifice looks for dependability.

Guys usually make the opposite sacrifice.

[TheBigB]

Yep. My point exactly. :o)

[Clemenza]

Robin's nice, but not my type.
