Well,........... I'm away for two minutes and people want my doobries off, sending me to the vets, and doctors.

Well I have been to the doctors and he gave me some suppositories, and for all the good they did me, I might as well have shoved them up my bum

Re: Lazy women
 

Just read all the posts (instead of doing housework!best five minutes of fun I've had for a while. How can people criticize this forum, it's a real tonic.I'm aching to have another dog, so Dave if you want to be adopted, I'm willing!!

Re: Lazy women
 

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.:rolleyes:

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

Re: Lazy women
 

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.

Give me Betty Grable anyday in preferance to stick insects, I likes a bird with plenty of meat on her and in the right places:D:D:D

Re: Lazy women
 

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

Re: Lazy women
 

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.

Re: Lazy women
 

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 :D)

Re: Lazy women
 

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?

Re: Lazy women
 

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.

Re: Lazy women
 

I completely agree with you, just shows the power of the media I suppose, and what power they really have!

Re: Lazy women
 

If (for any reason) you do not feel good about yourself, even the softest voice has a force....that is the whole nub of the problem......women are listening to the wrong voices....because there is no-one telling them that they are valid for any other reason than their looks.

Re: Lazy women
 

True, but it's more complicated than that.

Who'd have thought someone like Katie Price would have been a role model, nearly half a century after the womens' liberation movement changed so many attitudes about self-image?

It is very sad, that wanting to look like Barbie, in this post-feminist world, is seen as normal.

Rather than being encouraged to be happy, and self-confident, in your own imperfect, unique, beautiful, skin.

It's not just girls.

Young boys are getting as screwed up as girls, when it comes to self-image.

It's sad, but l don't know what the answer is.

Re: Lazy women
 

It's not all down to the media bombardment, we're all subjected to.

It begins at home, with parenting.

All children should grow up being thought of as already beautiful.

Inside, and out.

Re: Lazy women
 

I completely agree with all your comments, it seems that what the Women's Liberation Movement was all about has become skewed and now seems to target the worst in both men and women, in that women want to aspire to the worst in men's behaviour and both sexes seem to strive for unattainable perfection of a kind that can only be achieved via surgery and airbrushing. I don't know what the answer is unless there's a way to stop the media from doing what they do by providing completely unrealistic people and lifestyles as role models for our young people.

Re: Lazy women
 

Just like to point out, there's nothing wrong with Katie Price, she's a successful bussiness woman, nor is there anything wrong with celebrating traditional female sexuality, and being coyly girlish.

Female liberation gave women choices.

It's just sad that many of those choices are limited by rules imposed by a minority, about what's deemed as acceptable, when it comes to outward appearance.

Re: Lazy women
 

The media only give people what they want.

Supply and demand.

I'm no prude, but I don't think the ease of access young people have to pornography helps, when i comes to what's seen as acceptable, regarding what society supposedly finds attractive.

I don't know what the answer is either.

Re: Lazy women
 

...and even sadder than the issued diktats that decide those rules, are that people still buy into them.

For that, men really aren't to blame.

Male ideas about what they find beautifil about women, are usually set in stone.

They don't normally change their minds, on the whims of fashion.

It's women who generally buy into that.

The Media are in a rat race to become the latest fashion trend setters, they are the ones who manipulate the female species into thinking this is what they should look like, when less than 1% of the female population ever come any where near to that look, yet the daft beggars will make themselves ill trying to ape them.

Well I can give you a few years Anne and believe me I still have the same outlook on life as when I was 18, the only problem is the body won't let me:s_cry::s_cry: and I keep asking who that bloke is who looks at me every morning when I look in the mirror:rolleyes:

The last shopfitting firm I worked for in the early 80s had just started using an Italian system called Arneg, obviously all in metres, they only used 4 sizes of panels 800mm 1000mm, 1200mm 1500mm, with those 4 sizes we could virtually fit any shop out with very little wasted wall space
