That's your opinion. What is voluptuous to some isn't to others. You like to throw the word fat around, don't you? It's not a kind word according to societal standard.Those women aren't voluptuous, they're fat
I don't like all of the women on the list, but most of them, in my eyes - are awesome!Those women aren't voluptuous, they're fat
Appreciated, yes; encouraged, no.I'd like to see women of all sizes, appreciated for who they are, not how much they weigh.
I believe it has less to do with presenting obesity as an ideal, and more to do with hopefully preventing crippling issues of low self esteem, frequently leading to substance abuse, and all tooAppreciated, yes; encouraged, no.
I'd like to see women (and others) be healthy and alive.. which is a heck of a lot more important than this 'self-esteem' malarky.
Worse, in my opinion, is the message young kids are getting from all of this.. like ads and websites that say 'This is what REAL women look like!'
Anorexia could debilitate and even kill faster, but presenting obesity as the ideal is going to result in more and more people coping with all kinds of serious problems from heart disease to diabetes on a longterm basis.
I prefer 'Rubenesque.'That's your opinion. What is voluptuous to some isn't to others. You like to throw the word fat around, don't you? It's not a kind word according to societal standard.
I remember ads like that in comic books when I was in elementary school. and then Twiggy came along and turned it in the opposite direction. With this newer approach, though, during the last year or so I've been noticing ads on t.v. for products that can help people (women AND men) gain weight.
I have to disagree, I like their looks.Those women aren't voluptuous, they're fat
Gary, I am curious? Are you a naturally slim person? I present as slender, but, ever since I was very young, I have exercised regularly. As a dancer, I am very fit, yet, if I
regularly eat more than 1 1/2 healthy meals a day, I gain weight. My mother could eat anything she wished right on into her nineties, she ate more than I, lol. My tall,
handsome father was considerably overweight. Like him, I have the fat gene. Every Xmas, I gain ten pounds, takes months for it to disappear.
This level of disrespect toward women is completely unacceptable. Regardless of size, we are all worthy of being treated as human beings, rather than mocked
This is voluptuous
I like them both, but Peggy looks a bit too skinny to me.This, not so much
Not very flattering photos, but may not be bad looking women in a better light.As with everything, there are limits
I like Lizzo!Lizzo!
Good point, and that is what it comes down to. I enjoy looking at these women, but their health is more important.It's not about whether or not they LOOK good. It isn't HEALTHY to be overweight.
The studios wanted him fat. He wasn’t allowed to lose weight.View attachment 227362
You are right. John Candy was convinced his weight was his calling card for work. He couldn't do much when it was the grim reaper who called.
I don't like myself with extra pounds either. I feel self-conscious and just do not enjoy shopping for clothes as much. I am trying to figure out who, what, where caused me to be programmed to feel this way...maybe I will start a new thread...I'm 5'6" and have been up and down and prefer downPersonally for me I do not like myself with extra pounds. I am tall 5'8" and look like The Hulk if I gain too much.
We all need to accept our bodies for what they are, and that goes for both men and women.
I totally agree and I feel most of the time I can accept others no matter what but when it comes to me I am still too critical..weight, clothes, hair , makeup, etc...I work on relaxing my views but struggle. I certainly am far from perfect but can not seem to give up some habits. I still will not go anywhere without fixing my is mostly when it comes to piercings and tattoos...I am working on accepting it is none of my business what others want on their bodies..I'd like to see women of all sizes, appreciated for who they are, not how much they weigh.
