..... but we really need to be more positive in general. Have confidence in yourself. When you are working on yourself, you really don't have time to worry about what everyone else is doing.
BINGO!1 -
Ugh...I can sense this about to get real ugly. I wish that women would support each other more. The whole real women have curves thing is not helping...it is just another way to pit one group against the other. And I happen to be a "curvy" girl...not obese and working towards being healthy and more fit. There's so much damn negativity out there as is without women bashing each other. I know I may sound like a cat poster, but we really need to be more positive in general. Have confidence in yourself. When you are working on yourself, you really don't have time to worry about what everyone else is doing.

I don't like the term "real women", period. Any time such a phrase is used, you can bet the following declaration is crap.
I think, for me, the problem is defining what "curves" are. I think today's trend of pushing obesity as "curviness" is detrimental.4 -

Skinny-shaming and fat-shaming both suck and are detrimental to women in general.
The end.My first thought is that it's just exclusionary and assumes that only one look is the right look. That's just not the case.

oh I don´t like it at all.. curvy girls don´t like slim, and slim don´t like that with curvy ones.. its your body, its part of your identity and you are free to choose, what you want
I love my muscles, how I am getting stronger, how my abs are showing, but in the same time I like my chest, hips and butt whats are more on curvy side..
Peace and don´t judge people because of their body shape.
People are going to judge. I know what it takes to be fat and remain fat. I also know what it takes to be fit and to maintain muscles. I will judge someone's work ethic based upon that. I can't help it.
I understand.. but you can´t change nothing by judging it.. you are not responsible for other people.. its their choice, not yours..
I don't think he is trying to "change" anything. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and perceptions of others. It is automatic and usually based on life experience.0 -
Be happy with yourself and everything else will follow.0

I am having trouble following your line of thought. Perhaps it is getting lost in your translation. We all judge involuntarily, whether we vocalize it or simply keep it to ourselves. Yes it is natural and, like I said, I feel based on our own unique life experiences.
If someone DOES vocalize their judgement to someone it doesn't always have to be a negative experience. One or the other, and possibly both, parties may learn something from it. Isn't that the point of living, to live, love and learn?1 -
I just like a big fat curvy booty

that said, real women come in all different shapes and sizes...and people have a variety of preferences.
I love how when this question gets asked men post a picture of chicks who weigh 115lbs, when in reality alot of the women are referring to much less graceful curves that associate themselves with people weighing 200+ pounds. I could work out 3 hours a day 7 days a week and still not look like this chick without a boob job because genetics failed me

this. anyone who values a woman, who rates her 'real woman' status on whether or not she has a body you'd like to get into bed, is something i'm not allowed to type on a polite site like this.dirtyflirty30 wrote: »A "real woman" is a woman who exists.

The end.
real women, like real men, are people with integrity.

That is very true. Curves in the sense of boobs and butt are not what the people preaching the "real woman" argument are getting at. Having a butt and boobs is not the same as being overweight.
The whole fat is fabulous thing . No it isn't. Its unhealthy, and you are just making excuses.0 -
tl;dr: op has anger issues around overweight people5
