Besides the cultural influences there also seems to be a quite important influence of food. The feeling of hungre has a significant effect on what men find attractive. If a man feels hungry more often he begins to prefere bigger women. I don’t no exactly why this change in sexual behavior occurs, you should search the research on internet.

I was very interested in your analysis, but I can’t blame this on Twiggy. That was just how she was shaped. I resent that women aren’t allowed to be all sizes like men. You think a male 42 long dreams of being a male 34 short. Not likely. Women come in all shapes and sizes and it’s time someone recognized that. Things are getting out of hand when a size four is fat because she isn’t a size zero.

the problem now is only a very few people are naturally skinny, movie stars work out everyday for a couple of hours and are on a strict diet. The problem is today is that there is difference to be a little chubby, chunky and obes. Obes should never be promoted and skinny shouldn’t be either because both are unhealthy. I think in order to fix it is by showing different body shape in the media that way people can choose who they think is beautiful instead of choosing what they think is beautiful because the media thinks that is beautiful.

Marilyn was a vintage size 16 – equal to a modern day size UK 12.

Hi I just wanted to say thanks for posting these videos- they cheered me up on a day that isn’t exactly the best. I think your blog is very interesting and that you’re brave to share your experience. I also had problems with weight issues as I was growing up, and of course that didn’t help my self-esteem one bit. Anyway I think I’ll be checking back on your posts from time to time, hope you don’t mind!

Marie was plump as a child? I didn’t know that. More reason to love her. Cause I was plump too!

I think these body facts are very annoying. A girl is beautiful when she is curvy and so is skinny. A girl and a boy as well is beautiful no matter what the looks everyone!
The truth is, famous people are skinny (or at least hide their fat) because they do not want to show any fat and be criticized for it. In real life, women should not follow celebrities, because celebrities are meerly hiding their fat.
And yeah..

Healthy, Healthy, Healthy. That is all that matters. I am 6′ 2″ tall and I was made to be thin. Although I wear a size 10-13 people always think that I wear a size 3. I am 24 year old and a couple of year ago I had to stop listening to everyone else and what they thought that I should look like. I had to accept that I am tall, skinny, and white. I used to try to get a tan, gain weight, wear flats. But what kind of life is that? I am proud of who I am on the inside. I have found out that if you are able to be proud of who you are, then you will take care of yourself (eat healthy and exercise) and that will affect how people perceive you. If you take away any “beautiful womans” makeup and self confidence then she will not be perceived as beautiful anymore. Of course love has a way of bringing the beauty out of a girl. So even if a girl is makeup less and has low self confidence then her man will still see her beauty.
There have been several people that have tried to get me into modeling but I have always told them that I have the “ideal body”and I do not want to encourage other children or women to give in to this idea that skinny is the way to be. That just happens to be my body type. I would love to see some full figured (healthy) women on our magazine covers and movies and TV shows.
Please, girls out there stop listening to what everyone else thinks (except me). I am happier with this mentality than I have ever been.
