I'll Tell You My Opinion

There's a lot of pressure on women to from all angles to look a certain way, or achieve a certain body type.

Wether it be the fitness look with the lean abs, sculpted arms, lifted round booty. Or to have that thick look with a big ol booty, relatively small waist, and round hips. Or anything on the fringes or in between...

Often wether consciously, or sub consciously, this is geared around pleasing men or being attractive to men.

But our bodies are not for men. Our bodies belong to us. If a woman chooses to share her body with a man that is a gift and not a given. Personally I like men like I like cake 馃巶 馃槈 But in my opinion, all our attitudes need to change. It's a subtle mindset that exists in our society but no matter how subtle or insignificant it seems, it is still present. Normally I'd speak as objectively as possible and talk simply as a human, but for this post I speak as a half white, half hispanic woman who has witnessed this type of mindset first hand many times in my life.

So girlfriend, get that body that you like to wake up to everyday, and any man that is worth having in your life will appreciate whatever physique you have. But you can't expect a man (or woman) to treat you with love and respect if you don't love and respect yourself.

Love is a universal value. It belongs to all races, all genders, all religions, and all body types. That includes you babe 馃槝

Women judge each other way more than us guy's do

@Cream2Hott: that is truer than true. Most of us women do tend to judge other women more harshly than we judge men.

@Serenitree: From my experience from working with women they judge themselves even more critical than they judge the other women.. it's a vicious cycle

@Cream2Hott: definitely!!

@Cream2Hott: that's true too. We can be harder on ourselves, but while we are hard on ourselves, we are judging others, for all kinds of fashion sins, or body sins,

"She's already fat.......did you see what she brought for lunch?"

Yes, we can be mean about others too. Usually it's because of our own insecurities about our own self image. Genuinely self confident people don't seem to feel a need to criticize others. I've noticed that when I feel good about myself, I am much kinder to others.

@Serenitree: yea I noticed that too. The easiest way to spot an insecure individual is by looking for someone that's always putting others down

@ChickenWingFreak: Caking on large amounts of make up is another

@Cream2Hott: do they still do that?

I don't really pay much attention. I live in a seniors retirement apartment building. The only women I take the time to notice are either elderly or my family.

My kids and grandkids wear very little makeup. Three of my daughters wear none, and although my granddaughter's do, their makeup is subtle. It's almost a does she or doesn't she look. They are the daughters of my one daughter who wears makeup, and she has always had a very light touch.

@Serenitree: Often I think it's from being insecure.. trying to hide so to speak

@Cream2Hott: oh, yeah, I suppose.
