She's not attractive to me. She says that we should judge people more on what they say than their appearance. Ok. She's saying that I should find something I think is ugly attractive because it's easier for her if I change my nature than rather than make her change her lifestyle. I find that statement to also be ugly and unattractive. It's selfish, lazy, and does nothing to further anyone involved.

How come these plus size models never have double chins? Photoshop?

Back in the news yet again:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/a...-s-Secret-s-unrealistic-beauty-standards.html

Tess Holliday, one of the most outspoken plus-size models in the industry, is once again blasting Victoria's Secret's beauty standards in a candid new interview.

The 30-year-old beauty, who was the first size-22 woman to be signed to a major agency, slammed the lingerie retailer, saying: 'They are perpetuating what’s wrong with America and with society, in general, that you have to look a certain way - like a Victoria's Secret Angel - to feel beautiful and be sexy.'

Actually, she is perpetuating what is wrong with America and with society.

That being extremely out of shape is a good thing. That living a shorter and in more poor health is a good thing. That not trying to do better is ok. She's fat, and needs to lose weight. Telling her that she is in poor health is considered "fat shaming" anymore in this overly PC world.

Yep. 20 years ago, when everybody was NOT fat, being fat was considered a bad thing.

It still IS bad, but now that fatties have multiplied exponentially, they are now riding the current PC train and trying to make people "accept their bodies".

Sorry, but "accepting your body" means accepting if you're short, tall, have big feet, a big nose....something you can't easily change, if at all.

Not accepting that you like Big Macs so much that you are 10 sizes larger than you normally would or should be.

I'm of the opinion that it's none of my business how someone chooses to live. If she's comfortable and happy with herself, who am I or you to tell her she's living life wrong? With that being said, I think a vast majority of society finds fit and slender more attractive than fat and out of shape, so she should stop whining that commercial companies use what appeals to their customers, what sells the image they want.

Those excessive overweight (not just slightly/bit curvy) folks are the ones that bring up the health care cost for everyone else.

Go to Walmart on Saturday afternoon and you will see how fat some people are. They have to use the scooters from WM to sit down and shop because they would not be able to walk and shop.

Guess what they have in their shopping carts? More fat and junky foods/drinks.

Uh, this is pretty simple for me. I find VS models highly attractive. Not all of them necessarily, but I'm a good cook and I could put a few meals down that they could benefit from.

I direct contrast, this "model" I find to be abhorrent to look at. Nothing about her is attractive in any way to me. I know there are guys like women that look like her, but I suspect they are in the minority.

Ooo that bitch pisses me off. Shes the one that whines about "healthy food being too expensive". One of those dipshits that thinks weightwatchers ready meals are the be all and end all of healthy food.

Probably never set foot in the fruit and veg aisle. Has never tried oats. Dosent know about skimmed milk. :thumbsdown:

F skim milk. But seriously, fresh vegetables are not expensive at all.

Yep.

RAGH! Someone I'll never meet is unattractive to me and they want to be happy!
+1

BS She wants everyone else to approve/accept/welcome her obesity. I hope she and everyone else is happy. Doubtful but there is always hope.
What's bizarre to me is that a thin girl who is 5'-5" has zero chance of a successful career in modeling.
"Hello, Megastar Modeling Agency."
"Hi, I'm interested in becoming a model. I have a pretty face, I'm 5'-5" -"
"Sorry, we can't possibly have a model who is only 5'-5" tall!"
"- and I weigh 250 pounds."
"Oh - I didn't know you were morbidly obese. Come on down and let's talk."

WTF?

You withhold your acceptance from someone that's never heard of you and never will then.

Pretty much. She's not going to be my neighbor unless her fam uses the funeral home next door. The odds are low that the would but the odds are good that she'll need it before me.

Meh. You're both going to die. Why worry about her life expectancy? Worry about yours if your going to worry about someones.
