I want a body snark free website that just has women with different shapes in flattering outfits for their shape. No hate because it isn't your body type or one that you want. Just you know tips/tricks for people with similar attributes.
I can't see that happening. I would love to see it as well, but people are just...jerks.

Wow more girls prefer to be slim...i am sorry to say this but...daa ****?

I know the media makes women believe slim is beautiful, but its only pretty and cute, but nothing is more attractive and hot than a girl with above average breast and aboverage average ass, its an instict for ALMOST ALL of us guys to be attracted do.

That's not right.
A slim woman looks in proportion. She fits into clothing well. She looks nice in a bathing suit. She looks healthy and a bit athletic. She moves with grace.

Maybe we're imagining different people, but generally a woman with big breasts and a big butt looks lopsided, like an aberration of nature. They are only lumps of fat, after all, and can be removed. They look kind of cheap to me.

I don't think it's just the media. I think slim is the look of health, whereas fat is the look of gluttony and a lack of self control.

It's amazing how many people want to change their bodies!

I wish people would just embrace their bodies and stop focusing on numbers and labels. As long as you're healthy, why should it matter? You can be a bit overweight and be healthy. Beauty is only skin deep. The "beautiful" people according to society's standards who are mean or judgmental towards others are the ugly ones.

With attitudes like this, it's no wonder so many young girls grow up hating themselves and their bodies and are prone to eating disorders.

I'm short and round, but healthy. I wouldn't have it any other way. The people who don't accept me or love me aren't worth it anyway. But most of all, I accept and love myself.

Amen. We all have to work with what we have. And work to our own personal best, not society's.


I am on my phone, please forgive the typos.

I don't have any health problems. I exercise for myself, not to look a certain way. I eat a healthy diet. It's hard for me to lose weight. I just naturally have some extra pounds.

I don't stress about fitting into a certain jeans size or being "acceptable" by today's society. I'm healthy and happy, and that's all that matters.

Healthy =/= specific body type.
Healthy = consistent healthy habits, lack of health issues
