PegNosePete Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Men, how many of you are attracted to this type rather tha a fictious doll? The first (well OK the second) thing I saw was her layers of make-up, and I thought how much she looks like a fictitious doll. 6
Emilia Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 All model photos are photoshopped, regardless of size. You don't see the real person. 3
TheArtist Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 (edited) As a designer the first thing I noticed was the terrible typography, then... some other stuff. Isn't the statement basically saying, 'be happy about your body because you can look good if you wear a dress that's too small, especially if you have a nice rack?' Gah, that typography. Edited March 17, 2016 by TheArtist 8
Author Phoenician Posted March 17, 2016 Author Posted March 17, 2016 Make up is not really very fictious , because you know it is not real , yet as a male It attracts that my lady would put make up , even if exagerated The idea is that : " you can look gorgeous even if not perfect" it is the inspiration behind the seen , the meaning . When I look deeper in it , any lady can be beautiful ; if she wants to be . I am not sure if I was able to express what I mean properly . 1

Gah, that typography. forget about the terrible typography , the superficial matters , etc ... it says be happy about your body because you can look good if you want to feel good ...

Emilia Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 right , it is not the photo that is important ; ,,... excuse me if I may ask : are you slim or chumby ? None of your business If it wasn't the photo that was important, you wouldn't be posting it 10
xxoo Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 I wish majority of ladies agree , because all around me here are so obssessed about their weight . look , etc ... If you want women to be less obsessed with their weight and look, change the subject. Talk about something else. 11
TheArtist Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 I think that what we're saying is that beauty is subjective. Sure, it's good to be happy with your body, that's always going to be beneficial, especially when it comes to confidence, which is essentially what you're looking at in this photo - confidence. As someone who exercises regularly, I don't find her particuarly physically attractive, but attraction is more than just looks in the end, right? 3
Author Phoenician Posted March 17, 2016 Author Posted March 17, 2016 None of your business If it wasn't the photo that was important, you wouldn't be posting it my apologies , if you answered you would have won the lottery . Some ppl enjoy the rain , others just get wet ... yes , what's behind The picture is very imp to me ; some people can't see it ,

Author Phoenician Posted March 17, 2016 Author Posted March 17, 2016 just to clarify : She is so attractive !

Emilia Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 I think the point of this thread is that you find larger or curvier ladies attractive. Your prerogative, everyone has their thing. Dressing that up as somehow you don't judge others for their looks is fake though. 6

Dressing that up as somehow you don't judge others for their looks is fake though. No dear , i am not , I am disturbed from people who does it . I am looking deeper and I say beauty is subjective , and every woman has a beautiful part . it could be her look , but what is more important to many men like me is her confidence , her empathy , and many other things that have nothing to do with look .
Emilia Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 So why post a photo at all? Especially one that has sexual connotations?
HopeForTomorrow Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 just to clarify : She is so attractive !

Men, how many of you are attracted to this type rather tha a fictious doll? by "all around me here" i meant in my place / my workplace .... What do you define as a "fictitious doll"? So a woman who works to keep herself within normal weight is a "fictitious doll"? I don't really see that she is "confident". She's looking away from the camera, and she's wearing an outfit way too small for her. Does that define confidence? If I were her I would wear more clothes, so if that's the definition of confidence, then I don't get it. And yeah, the typography is.... gah. And I'm not even an artist. 1

MightyPen Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 I find all these fake "empowerment" messages annoying. First of all, your body size DOES matter, at least to some extent. Just from a health perspective, it is better to be lean/muscular. So the message is just plain wrong. That doesn't mean everyone has the genetics to be a fitness model, but everyone can work for a "best" body for them that I can assure you is MILES better than most people actually accomplish. Second, where are all the "you're handsome no matter what your waist size or hair line are!" messages for men? Yes, I know women are judged more harshly on looks, but mean are also judged...and nobody is sending men false messages that beer bellies, man boobs, thinning hair, etc are "handsome." 6
Emilia Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 a picture worth thousand words. Do you read what you write before you hit the submit button? Because it doesn't make sense.
Author Phoenician Posted March 17, 2016 Author Posted March 17, 2016 Do you read what you write before you hit the submit button? Because it doesn't make sense. no , why should i ?
Emilia Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 no , why should i ? Because perhaps you care to learn how to express yourself in a manner that people can actually understand. That usually significantly improves one's quality of life.
Gloria25 Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Yes, I think the woman in the picture is attractive. Quite frankly she is sexy as all heck... Why? Because, unlike some women (regardless of size) she dolled up herself and is wearing a sexy outfit that isn't cheap, skanky and/or shows flaws (ie rolls of fat). My issue with the picture is that it appears to advocate that an unhealthy weight is not an issue as long as you're attractive and/or groom/dress well. Thankfully we live in a time where clothe makers no longer want bigger women to walk around in oversized t-shirts, Torrid is expensive but gosh darn, they sell some cool clothing. I work with a bigger woman and she is sooo well put together. She puts a lot of effort into make-up and dress and not only is she lovely, I respect that. But still, ideally it's better to have a healthy weight and lifestyle. And no, I'm not talking about bone-skinny women who are so flat and lack curves that they look like boys before puberty. Actually on SNL over the weekend Arianna Grande was on and she is a gorgeous girl, but geesh her body is a stick figure...a push up bra can't even give her some curves. And, Jenney McCarthy had been losing weight lately - when you just thought that she'd be the last person to do so....that says something. 1

Big boobs are fine but her's look like someones butt.
PegNosePete Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 My issue with the picture is that it appears to advocate that an unhealthy weight is not an issue as long as you're attractive and/or groom/dress well. My issue with it is that it's saying you can be whatever size you like, as long as you're attractive. For a "message" that is pretty terrible. It's saying physical attractiveness is the most important thing, no matter your size. Is that really the message we want to spread to help raise body confidence and self esteem? And OP goes on to criticize people who judge by weight/looks. That's pretty ironic IMO. 4
