I'm sure plenty will find this disgusting and some might even find it interesting.
But it's true that no one is perfect and we all have body issues.
Please have a look.

Hope now the link works in here as it's the first time I done this.

Only applies to Ireland, UK and America.

And ONLY within the last half generation here.

I have a major problem though with that they're portraying. They're conflating obesity (which in most circumstance is a lifestyle choice) and women that might have had marks, or scars or things that were out of their control.

And lastly.... where's the men.

Real Men have curves.

Some of the comments in the Huff post seemed like they were posted by CS users. I'm with you betty. Almost everyone say's beauty is only skin deep but we expect to 'page three' girls only on billboards and advertising. Yet most women aren't size8/10, they are size 14/16 or more.

Even a lot of the models used in glossy mags are photo shopped before they hit the high street news stands.

And fair dues to the women in the pics for doing what they did..

I'm quite surprised this thread did not get more reaction than this. Even more so with the first response. No offense Maddog, I'm equally surprised with your input. Where are the imperfect men?

Its heartening to read the medias notion of perfection is just that...a silly made-up notion.

I can't look up what Betty posted,,,,as it won't work on this iPad,


Anyway a calendar came out that women did and it was of women of all ages and sizes and different shapes And that's what we are all about and one time a Callander came out for women that had breast cancer and they posed for it,

They looked beautiful .

Why would you be surprised? The medias notion of an attractive human sells! That's why advertising companies use them. They sell. They are also, more or less, real, notwithstanding graphical modifications. They just in small quantities. In this country. And a few others.

BTW, there's a strange hypocritical message here. Most of their photos of these imperfect women, are styled with less than pale skin. That's a superficial trick that every vain bodybuilder knows... darker bodies look nice.... so if they really were going to show us that imperfect body, they would loose the fake tan or colourenhancers, or special lightning. And show us them women in the natural pale selfs, in proper natural light or close.

They would look even more imperfect.

I'm aware of what the media uses to sell...as does everyone, lighting and all.

My surprise was with the lack of attention to this thread and your championing of the less perfect, hence my apology for causing possibly offense.

More than half the women pictured are unhealthily overweight.

While I agree that the whole size zero thing is wrong and puts ridiculous pressure on young people I think saying that fat is anything other than bad for our health is equally wrong.

What we perceive as beautiful in the western world a tribe in brazil or some African tribe would consider hilarious, or ugly.

Have you seen beautiful women in Brazil or Africa? I can assure you... beauty follows a few evolutionary rules across the races and cultures. A locally beautiful woman in africa or brazil will look just as beautiful here, notwithstanding personal preferences.

It's been tested with babies reactions anyway, long before they get to the point where media or culture informs them.

MADDOG69: It's gas when men say that while at the same time slaggin' off women of another body type. It's the same thing as lads that say the very opposite, but they get grief for it.
bbws usually have a fantastic personality ive found grin
