LOL! Are you afraid someone is going to give away the plot!

:D :D :D :D

You guys are too too funny. I think this ATOT circle jerk is more amusing than a fashion show, but then again, I am not male. :)



 

"bwahahahaha, did you just see that makeup artist brushing that chicks ass? 100% fake... every single one of those fake anerexic tv whores

btw, you people should be watching fastlane"


Is that your way of trying to get your esteem high because you can't look good as a man? :|

"they are all fvcking fake, and you retards get your jollies off to it... its disgusting... id rather not have ribs poking me when im on top of the chick..."

Aaaaah! Grrrrrr! If I could. . . . *Biting lips!* And what makes you think only men watch the show? You aren't worth any attention. This post about verifies the character you displayed when you attacked someone at another thread and spoke for every other member. Note to self: keep the Beast tamed, lest he goes wild in a domestic area instead of finding his wildlife dwelling.

Thanks, Lord Jezo for bringing this event to our attention. I plan on watching it. I didn't realise that it was tonight. I liked the last show they put, so I hope that this one will be as fun.

Right... so the whores are fake, but fastlane is genuine?

they are fake as most models are, and disgustingly skinny... fastlane is entertainment, nothing real about that, and never said it was...

eating disorders actually come from feelings of insecurity and low self esteem, which generally come from how they were raised as children. not from watching tv.

i didnt say that all cases were from this... and its true that its because of insecurity and low self esteem, which is being pounded into their head that they arent as good as the models they see 24/7...

jesus you've been reading too many feminazi essays... who you should be upset with is not the models, the tv stations, or any of those people. the *only* people on whom the blame rests are the parents of the children.

well nothing for those children, it's too late. they would be f*cked up with or without these models. but future parents should be good parents so that their children don't get self esteem issues.
 

"eating disorders actually come from feelings of insecurity and low self esteem, which generally come from how they were raised as children. not from watching tv."

Exactly.

If the Beast were old enough to be my dad, he would make my life miserable for being born skinny and tall. Next thing you know, he'll have me sent to some therapy program for anorexics. He'll have me fed to death, in spite of how much I eat. And then he'll have me shamed in public for having ribs that show.

Hon', just 'cuz you or other people have weight issues doesn't mean that every person does. The problem is the teens who're choosing to be unrealistic. They don't eat in moderation and don't exercise either. They resort to either excessive eating or malnutrition. Their esteems will always be low, even if society were to change to promote chubbiness/plump.

Did you defend the lanky children during the time accepted models such as Marilyn Monroe were plump? And whether you like it or not, there'll always be people who love how beautiful clothes are on tall slender women. Deal with it!

Um

It's both.

Society AND parents affect us. It is silly to think it would only be one or the other.

My parents raised me with mucho love and support but society made fun of me because I was cross eyed. I went through a long period of having no self esteem because I figured my parents were just nice to me because they loved me. So, are my parents to blame for my self-esteem issues, although they tried with all their might to convince me I was worthy? Or was it the fvckwads with no compassion who teased me mercilessly? For a while, I bought into what society had to say about girls like me. But then I realized society is full of sh!t. :D

Like I said, it really isn't that simple.

You are correct, it is both. I have a feeling some people are comparing this situation to the school shootings that many crazies think are because of the video games.
 

"Like I said, it really isn't that simple."

I disagree! It's as simple as that. Those kids whose esteems are low would be that way anyway even if society had a different view about weight. I have seen kids with deformities or something funny looking about them, but their esteem stays high. They would rather not live a life of being mocked, but they keep their chins up in spite of the challenges. You couldn't tell that they were affected by things like that.

I even went through the teases growing up. Standing out as the tallest girl and almost as tall as other guys in class and being skinny did get me the teases. It also got my siblings, who are just as tall and slender, jeers. But guess what? We learned to keep our chins up. And now those people who teased us are wanting to be like us. It's all about the individual. It isn't the models. The whole concept of modeling is that they aren't the average person's appearance, but they're tempting enough to make the average person want to go out and get things to look like them. Who makes society if not the average persons? They give the power to the models and media. If they chose not to make those purchases or watch those shows, it wouldn't matter what the media wants. But frankly, the truth is that clothes tend to look best on tall, shapely, slender women than it does on chubby or plump women. Plump and chubby women can look just as good, but it can't happen if they don't feel they should dress like it. As I've said in the past, I have seen beautiful chubby or plump women. Also, they have plenty of space for big women with plus size models. The market is growing. If you don't like the skinny look, then promote the plus size modelling business!

Hmmm.

Well, I'm not particularly worried about the fat/thin issue because I've enjoyed the benefits of being shapely and looking good in clothes for most of my life. Once my eyes were fixed, the boys got pretty hot for me. The irony wasn't lost on me. I realized that they only wanted me for my looks, and that infuriated me. If anything, I've felt bad for being treated well because of my relative desirability. It doesn't seem quite fair to me that I often get treated better than other girls because of what I look like. It's not fair. It just is.

Anyway, I'm sticking with the view that it is both nature/nurture parents/society. That's what my secondary education was all about... studying social/psychological issues. I took class after class on the subject, and now I have a bias based on the research I conducted and studied. There is a really good book out called "Reviving Ophelia" that you might disagree with, but it makes a great case for what I am talking about. When girls realize that they are valued mostly for their fvckability, it's pretty hard to bear.

BTW, I have no problems with thin, beautiful women. I'm surrounded by knockouts on a regular basis. My sisters are thin and gorgeous and my best friend is a willowy blonde who men and women drool over. I'm only slightly thicker (I'm 5'6 and wear a size 6-8, and I have had 3 children), but it's in all the right places so it really is more of a benefit than anything. LOL, my best friend has always said she wished she had my body! :D

The only people I'm upset with are my ancestors for not giving me good enough genes,those models are drop dead gorgous and make 99.9 % of the rest of Amercian women look like something that just fell off the back of a cabbage truck.
