Culture does have a lot to do with it. And back when I was in school and had a lot of friends from different backgrounds, the American girls who were white would always be talking about weight,etc. and the black girls would talk about nails and hair. Back in my parents' countries, I'd not be fat at all. I live in a predominantly black area and how a certain shape is looked at is different but that's another thread entirely *LOL* Going out into the dating scene I can see why girls OBSESS over weight and the way they look.
I think people should dress and look like the person that they are..Your true personality.....
I am constantly changing my look like "The Jackal" My hair is about mid length maybe right in the middle of my back I streak it called the Blond Brown Chunky look..I wear it a ton of different ways, up down braided under a hat or sometimes I wear a flirty Red hairpeace...
Different hats....My fetish is shoes I have over 100 pair of shoes everyone that knows me...Knows that my shoes reflect my personality...
In fact I think you can judge all women by the shoes they wear....
