Help me here.
People want to emmulate "Desperate" lives? Those gals have miserable lives on that show. Who wants that for themselves?
"programme showing older women who are attractive and have rampant love lives "
:o)
It's the same old story -- we're told by the media and a lot of men that men only value women under 25 who are 6 feet tall and weigh 100 lbs. and have 38DD enhancements. They used to call that "Barbie Syndrome." Women with bums and thighs who can't find a thing at the Gap that will go up above their knees tend to panic and the rest is anorexia.
Sad, really. I'm aging naturally and I'd guess I'm one of the few in my office who is.
At some point, someone has to take a step back and just call a spade a spade: Some women are stupid. They have chosen to take no control over their lives and they've been this way from the start.
Every disorder has to have a cause attributed to modern day life. Why don't they just say these anorexics and bulemics are screwed in the head?
They just want to "have rampant love lives"....
I just read somewhere where the women on that show all wear sizes "in the single digits". One of the women (don't know their names 'cause I don't watch the show) they know for sure wears a "0" because they provided her clothes for a photo shoot.
I wish to God women still looked as good as they did from the 30's through the 60's. Renee Zellwigger & Hillary Skank -put them next to Barbara Stanwyck , Loretta Young,Shelly Winters, & Sophia Loren in their prime. I rest my case. And, other than the luscious Sandra Bullock & a bleak handful of others, all women in Hollywood look alike today.
"No Fat Chicks"
Four times *what*? From 2 patients to 8 patients is a "fourfold increase."
Doesn't it seem the media speeds a lot of time discussing the subject of weight. Either people are dieing from obesity or kicking off from anorexia or barfing too much with bulimia. Do you think that just maybe the media is a major participate in all these problems? They are always going on about the newest diet of the day then put out a million ads for fattening food and afterwords wring their hands over people who refuse to eat. The whole thing is insane.
Typical liberal. It is always someone else's fault. No one is ever responsible for themselves.
Could it simply be that the former anorexic and bulimic teens of a few years ago has simply gotten older?
This is a really odd statement, following several paragraphs defining precisely that...
They cut back on the meds for the kids, clean the house like a bat out of hell, and talk non stop. All while losing weight.
DH taught many women how to do this :(
What this article doesn't say, is that some of these "desperate housewife" types are taking the Ritalin (amphetamines) prescribed for their children.
Then Ritalin will soon be banned.
It's true.
I like the skinny chicks.
That's quite good. For most women the mortality rate is 100%
