The current fad for lusting after skinny women is unhealthy.

The majority who fit the criterion are either anorexic or underage.

Renaissance art shows that voluptuous women were fashionable and desirable in the past.

The Victorian and Edwardian method of achieving a small waist injured internal organs.

The current use of stretchy 'body shapers' is causing restricted blood flow and nerve damage.

I reckon nowt to torturing yourself to fit the trendy shape.

The men who are attracted only by appearances are not really worth attracting, and will look to replace you if you don't keep up the appearance they expect you to maintain - how immature of them.

Trouble is you live in Sicily, and I would want to go home for my dinners, but thanks for the offer.

I totally agree with you, but who's dafter?

Men, or the women who buy into what's currently considered to be attractive?

It's a billion dollar industry, which proves a lot do.

You're right, historically artists liked their female models with a bit of meat on their bones.

Mind you, they also gave their adult males infantile genitals, and that's never really taken off with the masses, as an aesthetic bodily ideal.

Dieting to achieve what's considered an ideal body shape is a relatively new phenomenon. In the past a buxom figure generally equated with good health, in times when life expectancy wasn't very high.

Marilyn Monroe, with her ample bosom, curvy hips, and wiggling bum, was a size sixteen, and positively exuded female sex appeal.

Today she'd be considered medically overweight.

Strange old world.

It seems that most men do but clever marketing makes younger men think they have to think differently and go for surgically enhanced Barbies.

Again, true.

Though in most research done on body image, teenage girls, as well as boys, always find plastic porno bodies as being judged more attractive, than unsymmetrical, wibbly-wobbly, imperfect, real bodies.

Most of us realise the fine distinction between fairy-tales & reality, there is no "And they all lived happily ever after!" more you've made your bed now lie in it (As the idle Mare isn't going to )

Yes I agree, I'm 57 and still think that deep down although it doesn't bother me like it would a a teenager. I remember when I was a teenager girls all aspired to have a body like Twiggy, which was the exception rather than the norm.
Why does the world of fashion always try to make women aspire to what in reality is an extreme unreality of what real women are like?

Age old question, that's never been successfully answered.

Intelligent, savvy, liberated, yet women still buy into an industry where the few dictate what's currently fashionable.

If Mary Quant has said jump in the canal, most wouldn't.

When she said wear a pussy pelmet....

Well that's history now.

Even The Queen's hemlines went skyward.
