Weird how nobody mentions overweight blokes modelling. I've not seen any on catwalks

because short-dick fatties don't sell clothes...

^Don't you have a clothes shop?

Obese models: it will be the new normal soon, innit.

^In western countries, and possibly not because of PC, because it may well be normal the way it's going now

Husband's tribute to his 'curvy' wife sparks backlash - BBC News

Husband's tribute to his 'curvy' wife sparks backlash






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."

Healthwise, there absolutely is. Anyone who denies that may be in denial of many other things.
Conflating judgements about personality with a health problem, that's at least partly due to bad habits, is a bad habit...
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.

I agree.

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...

@david48 & vocal neal - that women dress to impress other women:

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.

Btw, whenever I see your posts, I always think of your words being said in a "Varys" tone. (Varys in Game of Thrones - I like his character, he's smart & crafty.) So in a roundabout way, that's a compliment.

little red dress ???

^I don't have a plain red dress - too bold. I have a patterned red-black dress, though, and a LBD too. Sexy without being slutty - that's my mantra.

Compliments are accepted any way you choose to send them...

Awesome quality ... Sexy without being slutty . .

What's that a euphamism for? Is it like a "magic egg" masturbatory toy?

Crowbar - Its a wonderful tool guaranteed to make the user scream and sweat ptofusely as she digs deep...... or pry something

Hey, if they are happy then I'm happy for them. If the girl is happy with who she is then kudos to her. Women can still be curvy and healthy.

People can choose who they want to be with, keep the judgements to yourself imo.
I've learned that people who judge other people and the way they look aren't happy themselves.
