Welcome to Gaia! ::

I think your very nice for what you said. I'm skinny and I've been bullied since 2nd (now in 11th) grade and it still hurts when I'm called names. But people cant see the good in others. cry

fat girls reproduce easier as in they dont have to get much bigger, their hips have better ability to spread and all that. in africa, they fatten em up! not everyone likes em skinny. and plus fat people know how to cook, so who wouldnt want a fat chick who can cook and pop out babies lol

I am skinny, but not skeleton skinny. I do have the hour glass figure. I am perfectly happy with how I look, my weight -even though I am under weight by 20 pounds. Not my fault.- I can eat a lot and not gain a pound because I have a high metabolism. I got it from my dad and my mom. I am also pretty tall. I am about 6'1" and I am only 15 going to be 16 May 5.

Beauty is only skin deep. When I look at someone, I look past their physical features and look at their personality, the way they treat others. I don't care what a person looks like. There are lots of people out there that are not the "perfect shape" and they are really nice. Some are rude because it is a defense that they have to have because of the way others treat them. Once you get to know them though, that side of them melts. At least around you.

I have been teased since Kindergarten -I am not in tenth grade- because I was always taller than the other kids in the class. So what. I can't help that. I also have always had the figure that most of the kids in my classes wanted and they hated me for it. I like my guys taller than me. Preferably with dark hair, but if they are shorter than me and have blonde hair, and have the personality that just draws me to them and makes me want to be with them forever, okay. I will go with it.

>,> Well, I turn 18 in 4 months and i weigh from around 90lbs-95lbs still. I'm only 5'2''. But I don't go out and do alot. I don't like to move around (and personally tan = gross too *high five*) I'm not anorexic. I eat when i feel i'm hungry and should eat. Althought, since I don't do alot it isnt tons, and for what I Do eat I tend to have a semi high metabolism. I can't say I eat healthy, but, meh. I personally don't think I'm pretty and have very low self-asteem. My "body" has nothing to do with that though. Yes, I think I'm gross because I'm too skinny, but I think im ugly because of my Face.

Personally, I think an average weight is good. It All Depends On Your Height and amount of muscle. If you are active you'll weigh more, but muscle is heavier than fat so generally you aren't fat. 'fat' is a loose term. Enless you're goin onto 200+ chances are you aren't 'fat'. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some people really drool over skinny chicks, other people think bigger woman are teh sex. Personally I think average. Same for guys imo~ And 'hourglass' shape? Nay, it's very easy to be average and not have boobs and/or hips bigger than your stomache. Also, I've seen alot of girls who are very skinny but still 'hourglass'. I'm no, I have a rather small tummy but although my hips and chest may be bigger its not really an hourglass.
My bf thinks i'm drop dead gorgeous, other people? Prolly think i'm ugly as a rake. It's all up to the person 3nodding

Spellcheck whore: Appearance* (I do that a lot. I did to your post for a reason, though.)

Anyways. Back to the subject at hand.

I agree with you, Kakashi lover person. But, alas, this is an age where people don't think that way anymore. Only the ones who are, generally, lonely and unhappy with it think that way. The general populous of the planet Earth (especially the U.S. of A) are more worried about the outward appearance of the opposite sex or the cash flow coming from the person in question.

To get straight to the point without making a huge post about it. People are selfish and greedy. Chivalry is dead and both men and women have killed it, though I have (in my own personal experience) found more women to blame than men.

As for my personal preference. I like boys who are extremely skinny, skinnier than me. Not to the point where you can see their ribs. Just like very skinny.

And I think that girls that aren't sticks are prettier. All of my guy friends like average sized girls, not the anorexic girls.

nah i don't think it really matters if your skinny or not..the only reason so many people strive to be skinny is because of...well in my opinion it's because of the media..
i just don't get the media...they are just a bit weird..because for example..sometimes they would write in the magazine how an actress is getting fat, of course the actress is hurt by this so starts loosing weight..but then when she does the media starts commenting on how anorexic she is!
But if fat started getting popular i bet ya people would go and start gaining weight...its all in the media..

But i think there is no better choice between skinny or fat...it's what makes you happy really..and i guess they both have their advantages and disadvantages...
