This is not attractive in the least

What's up with her hands, especially the right? Looking at the legs, I'd guess a 13 year old girl. Looking at the hands, I'd guess 40+. I don't dig the pictures on Pinterest. I've seen tiny attractive women, but it takes a specific shape/look to pull it off well.
 
I think it's silly to obsess about a specific feature when what matters is how the whole package is put together.

Thing is, if they pull it off well they usually pull it off very well. However, women NEED to have the hourglass shape. Whether athletic or voluptuous or somewhere in between, it really needs to be there.
 
My gf has nice wide hips and hates them. I keep telling her they're the hottest things on the planet, but she doesn't believe me 🙁

Amazing that the culture has gone so extreme on this.

My gf is like this too with juicy thighs to boot. She hates her ass and thighs but I slobber all over them.
 
I guess I'm the only person who thinks that girl in the OP is overweight. When you're hips are wider than your shoulders, it just isn't attractive.

And I don't get her outrage. She posted a pic of herself in something dedicated to the complete opposite body image and people said mean things about her on the internet? Oh no! That must be something new.

Its not about her. Its about idiot girls who buy into thinspiration. Its unhealthy body image.

She isn't "outraged". She's sad for these clowns that think she's abnormal while they share secrets on their liquid diets so they can reach 80lbs or less.

In the world of thinspiration, anything over 80 is fat. 100 is obese. These girls have serious issues.

I agree the girls obsessed with that are idiots, but the model in the OP was butthurt about being called fat.
The model, who has her own swimwear line and has won numerous awards for her work, responded vehemently below the line: "You sit behind a computer screen objectifying my body, judging it and insulting it, without even knowing it."
She also went on to pen a thoughtful rallying cry for the Daily Beast last week against those who attacked her
She mad someone on the internet called her fat. She obviously doesn't love her body as much as she is claiming. If she did, I doubt she would feel the need to even bother worrying about someone calling her fat.
 
I find her very attractive. I love curves. Not cottage cheese; not overlapping fat. Just a little thick. Think it is gross? Fine. Apparently enough people like it though.

So people still want women to look like barbie dolls?

QFT.


Definitely a woman on the left above.

This image could be a 12 year old boy that shaved his legs:

All this super skinny jeans nonsense is scary.

Fortunately, Levi's 529 are great for women with small waists and hips/thighs and ass.

Basically every hot chick on television would fail your standards. Hip/thigh are typically wider than shoulders on a woman - the opposite is a defining characteristic of a masculine body.
