TER General Board
I don't know what the original question was, but thank you for your enlightened point of view. It was beautifully stated spychobabble. So allow me to join you....LOL.
Society has created this ideal image of beauty to which women are being held to be considered beautiful. They're supposed to look like Barbie...big boobs, long body, narrow waist, flat belly, long legs, with a J-Lo butt and somewhere between 18 (and I say that only 'cuz that's the age where she becomes a legal adult) and 23. In the modeling world even 26 is considered too old. It is an image which very few of us can attain. Is it any wonder that more and more women turn to plastic surgery to fix their "imperfections"?
As I've gotten a little older, I too, have come to appreciate the beauty of diversity. I look around me and I see so many beautiful women (and men)...and they don't necessarily conform to that ideal image of beauty. One only has to open their eyes to see it.
For awhile, Dove was running commercials for moisturizer using 'full-figured' women in bra and panties. Remember the frenzy that caused? Women loved it, while men seemed to hate it. I remember one man remarking, "If I wanted to see that, I'd look at my wife!" If you took a moment to look past the larger frame (and none of these women had fat rolls or belly's that hung to their knees...they were just larger women), you would have noticed beautiful skin, and very lovely features on their faces. Each and every one of these women were quite attractive....beautiful in my eyes. I really wish they hadn't quit running the commercials.
Thank you again for your serious moment...
You may now return to your originally scheduled programming..
