Is it normal, what's so great about "super models"?

The purpose of skinny girls is to weed the jocks, jerks and douchebags out of the male population. That leaves the male talent pool cleaner, so you get a better pick of decent men.

Eh, I get shit from big women all the time about my perceived "thin-ness" and how it makes me less beautiful than them because I don't have D cups, a huge ass, or that anything bigger than a size 6 would look like a circus tent on me. Not to mention the fact that I am ruining their lives by virtue of my being average weight and height.

You'd be surprised at how many unwarranted speeches I have gotten concerning how they are "proud of their curves" and couldn't be skinny and shapeless like me. Because, you know, I walk around wearing a shirt saying "Women with curves can't be beautiful too". Seriously, the tangent is usually totally unrelated to what we are talking about.

I'd sympathise with you, but the root problem of the whole "beauty standard" is women criticising other women and that's exactly what you're doing. Women need to learn to appreciate themselves and stop trying to drag other women down. If you're happy and healthy and have good self-esteem then fuck what everyone else says, you're not doing anything wrong and criticising people for having self-esteem issues and eating disorders only perpetuates the problem.

I'm a guy and I agree entirely with you.

Totally agree and I'm a dude and I like small cute girls not freakin amazons!

I find VERY few super models attractive. I tend to go for shorter, girls with pretty eyes and big bootys. (just a personal preference)

Every women is a model. No matter how she looks she is beautiful in her own way.

I've never seen the attraction of super models. They're arrogant, catty, nowty, spoilt, attention-seeking nightmares. I see more attractive women in the supermarket.

These "super models" aren't really attractive. Maybe if they didn't starv themselves and wear so much make up they'd be somewhat attractive, but until then they are quite...Well, not appealing.

Super models don"t have their "natural look" meaning most of the time non of their actual features are showing. Besides they practically ruin their bodies doing these things,

Not a fan of super models myself. Most of the Victorias Secret girls are like 5'8" and up, and are like 110 lbs-130 lbs. yea they have pretty faces, but it doesn't do much for me to see the in their bra and panties

Its not the standard of beauty, its the standard that commercializes beauty.

Kate Moss is not attractive at all, and never was in my opinion. Brooklyn Decker and Kate Upton, and Irina Shayk are on the other hand.

Skinny, but still very curvy.

It's normal to think this way as long as you don't obsess over it, although not necessarily nice. I'm a girl too and I don't find most super models attractive. I'd say some of them are really pretty and some meh. Everyone's tastes are different.

I do think that most people don't have a developed perception of beauty that they could call their own though. So they'll just accept whatever the industry says is pretty and ignore everything else. If the same supermodels were regular people most people wouldn't look some of them twice even though they melt at the sight of them now. BUT all women, all sizes are beautiful, don't shun someone out because they have big feet, skinny, big, small etc.

I don't like the wafer-thin catwalk models, who are paid to strut around in weird items of clothing. However, I'd consider a supermodel to be someone who's on billboards, adverts and in magazines/tabloids often...Kate Moss being the obvious example.

"women who have strange, alien-esque features, that aren't necessarily "beautiful" but borderline weird but are willing to accept "different" or "unique" as a compliment''

Meoowww. Bitchy & ignorant, with a hint of jealousy.

death. taxes. haters gone hate.
