In the modern world, most young women greatly try to reduce their weight, as they believe a skinny figure will create a magical life. This is not an exact truth. While observing super models, film actresses and celebrities, almost all appear thin, gaunt and underweight. While women strive to achieve this thin look, men on the other hand find women with curves far sexier. If women think that achieving a thin look will bring waves of love and affection from men. Think again! It's not the truth that men want a women who is skin and bones. Most men adore curves and women with voluptuous figures. If it was so easy for extremely thin women to find love, then why are celebrities such as Jennifer Aniston, Renee Zelwegger, Camron Diaz unable to find love?
Skinny women look hungry and malnurished. In the real world, and i mean real world and not just the small network of skinny celebrities on television, women generally have fuller figures. Why is it that billions of women strive to look like a couple hundred starving women on tv? Maybe the starving celebrities should strive to look more like the average woman. Average women are far healthier, real and sexier. I mean who wants to date a woman that can't enjoy a good meal. Or runs to the bathroom after eating to purge. What man wants to hug a woman who's bones could crush while making love. Let's face it, most men prefer voluptuous women with real womenly figures.
It sometimes makes me wonder who is in charge of creating our fashion size scale. If most of american women are size 12 and over then why is most of america considered "plus size". Shouldn't the majority rule over the minority. Shouldn't plus size then be the new skinny? I mean who decides that anorexic should be a normal size. Billions of women's self esteem are determined by a handful of designers? Who determine what sizes american women should wear. Can't we overturn this rule and take back our power?
All in all, men do prefer women with meat on their bones. How many plus size women have starved themselves down to a size 6 only to find that life is no different. Being a smaller size doesn't bring new happiness into your life. It doesn't make love magically happen. What brings happiness into your life is being confident and spending time with good friends, laughing and giving back to others less fortunate. Somehow women in America are hung up on the small stuff trying to emulate celebrities and people we see in the magazines. I think if these magazines are making women feel bad about themselves then we should all boycott them. If celebrities on tv are malnurished and sickly looking then lets turn off our tvs. It's time for plus size women to take back their power and do something. It's time that America knows that plus size is the new skinny.
