As a guy, I’m surprised that anyone is surprised by this. As the article says, this is not news for guys. We can’t understand why women put themselves through so much agony to get rid of their most womanly body parts. I think part of the problem is magazines such as Cosmo and Glamour, which thrive on women’s insecurity about their weight (as well as other “flaws”). Being fairly slim myself, I’m not a fan of knocking thin people, but the extent to which those magazines are skewed is ridiculous. Keep in mind that those models are not just thin, but also taller than average, which makes them seem even thinner than they are. And on top of that, they are Photoshopped into oblivion! (For the record, though, the picture in this article is also Photoshopped. If you don’t know how ubiquitous this has become, do a search on YouTube.) Want to be attractive? Be proud of however you happen to look right now, and carry yourself in a manner that shows it. Don’t just focus on how thin you plan to be in six months. Stop dieting (unless your current weight is dangerous!) and start eating a healthy diet. Your “healthy glow” comes from your health. Don’t believe the lie that happiness and attractiveness are mutually exclusive.

The girl on the left is too skinny, the girl on the middle is perfect, the one on the right is a little overweight.

I think they are all very healthy looking girls.
The one on the left looks slightly underweight, but it may just be her figure, she is a good looking girl despite that. The one in the middle looks great, and the girl on the right has lovely curves, and she looks very healthy..not overweight at all.
It is very true that curvy girls get a hard time, because thin is definitely in, which is lucky for naturally thin girls, but unlucky for young girls that think everyone should look like that. I personally would like to see a much wider variety of models, encompassing many different beautiful figures.

i’m a girl, and i think the girl on the right looks amazing. think about it. girls like the left are physiologically like guys. there’s no difference in figure that differentiates her from them.

I’m a girl and in my opinion the girl in the middle looks the best.

This issue is so complex.

The frustrating thing is that many women feel presurised to look like the women on the left or in the middle and fashion models and publishers are at the forefront of the ones leading this campaign. Young teenagers look at the fashion magazines or modles on the cat walks and see the latest fashions are being worn by models who are starving themselves to conform.

The crazy thing is that the woman on the right is so incredibly sexy and attractive and very healthy looking and speaking as a man, she is the only one that I would look twice at from the selection available and you will find that the majority of men would share that feeling. I have known so many women who have put themselves down because they have believed they are too big because they can’t fit into size 10 (UK) clothes, when in truth they look great as they are and they lose much of their sex appeal when they drop these sizes!

Of course it can also go to much in the opposite direction when to much weight becomes a serious health issue and I tend to find that women who are a size 12/14 (UK sizes) tend to have the right balance.
