I recently saw on CNN that a new American survey finds that Americans are not finding people overweight unattractive anymore.
I just found this intresting cuz us as women are always trying to be stick skinny.
I myself may feel thin until I turn the television on and then I feel like a blimp.
Anyways,this isnt a free ticket to pig out...but next time you feel fat you can relax a little by knowing maybe it's not quite so unattractive after all.

i think it is unatractive... i mean obesity... it is a clear sign that person does not respect self (i mean real obesity, not 10 or 20 pounds overweight) to pay enough attention to look healthy. and vice versa- too skinny people - also very unatractive, although it is easier to hide bones than fat ;) ------------- http://www.topbeautycare.com - BEST BEAUTY AND FASHION FORUMS |

| The survey didnt say Americans thought Obesity was attractive. It said people who were slightly overweight. The average American woman is a size 12,so clearly that is slightly overweight (depending on height). I myself do not find a man that is somewhat heavy to be unattractive. No one wants a man who is skinnier then you,LOL. |

INTERSTING SURVERY!!!
except i wonder if americans views are becoming that way because as a whole society we have gotten bigger so no choice but to like heavier set people. But i dunno aneroxics and bulima is still pretty prodominent in america so i have to say i think skinny still rules the roast in the eyes of most . ------------- Babycheeks |

| You may be right,babycheeks. That americans like it because they are on a whole larger...or,maybe we just dont even notice slightly overweight anymore because we see it so much. I would venture to say most people dont think anorexic is attractive though. (except celebs,who dont count because the camera adds 15 pounds) In real life it just looks sickly. I only know one person who is really really skinny.The rest are mostly slightly overweight. I think I'am just average for my height (125,and I'm 5'4) |

Well,when I diet and kill myself I can get down about 115..but I figure it's gonna be winter now,so why bother? I would like to just tone up too though...but I cant stand any exersice that's too vigorious. And weight lifting makes me looks like a guy (I have kinda manly arms already) |

My boyfriend is 5'6 1/2" and about 125lbs...
I HATE IT.
I ALWAYS eat more than him....throughout the day and at every meal.
I feel like he should be with a girl who is like 90lbs instead of a BLIMP like myself.
I HATE getting naked...It's like "Look babe my ass is wider, my hands are bigger, our fingers are the same ring size and my shoulders are wider...not to mention my gut hangs out farther..."
f**king sick.

Well,ThisisNiccy,sure doesnt sound like it's your fault though! I'm only 5'3 and 120 pounds and almost as big as your boyfriend too! LOL... Maybe you should fatten him up some.Tempt him with some good cooking or something. I know how you feel.I would not like it if my husband was smaller then me! (but he is about 6ft and about 185 pounds) |
