They don't give a Toss what we think about the catwalk models.
Unless, of course, we start comparing our Partners to the said Models.

Husband's tribute to his 'curvy' wife sparks backlash - BBC News
Husband's tribute to his 'curvy' wife sparks backlash
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2017/08/362.jpg
A husband's Instagram post about loving his wife's "curvy" size has sparked a backlash online about body image and feminism.
American entrepreneur Robbie Tripp, who describes himself as "husband to a curvy goddess", posted a photograph of him and his wife, explaining in a popular post that becoming a feminist taught him that "curvy" women could be sexy.
"I love this woman and her curvy body. As a teenager, I was often teased by my friends for my attraction to girls on the thicker side," he wrote.
"As I became a man and started to educate myself on issues such as feminism and how the media marginalizes women by portraying a very narrow and very specific standard of beauty (thin, tall, lean), I realised how many men have bought into that lie."
"For me, there is nothing sexier than this woman here: thick thighs, big booty, cute little side roll etc."

There's nothing wrong with saying that there's something wrong with being fat, it's not a criticism of someone's personality, but it is a criticism of their habits and choices.
Its a tricky situation because I believe in promoting self confidence and being proud about one's self, but parading a very fat person promotes unhealthy eating habits, so does parading stick-like figures.
I suppose acceptance, tolerance and discretion must come into play.
yep, that's the annoying part for many...Quote:

That may be true for some, but not for all. My firsr reaction to that statwment was - that's BS. Sure, some women dress or put on make up for the males of the species, but others want to look good and be confident, for THEMSELVES, for their own confidence and self esteem. I certainly don't dress for men or other women in my everyday worklife. I dress properly, because it's expected of me, in the workplace, to look presentable and professional. In most offices in SEA, there are dress codes and how you dress is related to how people treat you. (The concept of "face")
However, on a date I would dress differently, depending on how much I like the guy or what impression I wanted to give. Then the lacy bra and more feminine clothes would be out of the closet. 55
Tomcat, I think it's because some of the ppl here still haven't left the stone age. :)Quote:

I've learned that people who judge other people and the way they look aren't happy themselves.

I dress to impress myself first and also to fit into the dress codes at work. When I'm not at work i'm mostly dressed down into comfortable clothes. I noticed in different cultures people dress differently to impress.. for example, in Korea many women and men dress smartly all the time. You see them on the subway dressed to kill. In that society, people are very surface and face is important as you say. Cosmetic surgery is also huge in Korea.
I don't find the people dressed as smartly in China, but you see them wearing a lot of knock off brand name clothes.
In Canada, people don't dress overly smart unless they work in a place that requires them to do so. I find it is also very individual and people all dress differently from dollar store clothing to the brand names.
where do you fit on that continuum?Quote:

The thing is that by promoting stick figure models on the runway and in the media, this is also more of an issue imo. Refer to the articles I've already linked on this thread.
There needs to be more healthy models, and I'm not talking about obese, but people that have curves and are healthy (size 10 12, 14).
Remember when Marilyn Monroe was hot? Well she was a size 12. :)
