Great post Luciana.

Your message is clear and understandable and more than impressed that you could write such good English! You write better than most English “Yoofs”.

I also agree that the hyped-up role models that are present in the various media are not really that representative of true beauty. It’s what is inside the person and not the package it is in that is the most important part. Yes, the glamour model (size zero) may meet (western) man’s ideal of beauty, but some have the same IQ as a bran flake.

I worry about my two daughters who are growing up in this image conscious world - I hope that they never experience some of the horrors of anorexia or bulimia nor get ‘hung up’ over their appearance or (worse) what people think of them. I suspect, however, that they probably will get some of the latter and just hope that they don’t experience any of the former.

Good news for robust (ok, larger) ladies came this week as those who are curvy have better brains, can do maths and live longer than the skinny ones. Something at last to brag about - I’m only this large because I am brighter! and anyway, some men prefer something to hug…

Well said, Luciana

Nice! It was a nice post! Those skinny women have problems, i mean don’t you think curvy women looks hotter! and when you loos at those pictures they were scary. Models in magazines and media usually have gone through computer technology to make them look better.

people like that put pressure on themselves to look like they are celebs but not all celebs are slim and everything

so many girls want to be skinny, but whats the deal with guys? do they care about weighing 50 kilos? no way. for all the guys on this post: would you rather have a depressed, stick for a girlfriend or a girl who is happy and has some real curves? and besides who cares if some girls have some extra weight?
