    I think she's gorgeous. She's not super toned, she's not 3% body fat...

    She's a bombshell. Opinions?

    Sadly in this day and age where the ideal female body has no curves no legs no breast this woman is seen as fat. Far be it from the truth she will for ever be an icon of grace and beauty. I'd take Marilyn over any of the models out there today.

    Maybe by the fashion industry and even Hollywood, but the average man or woman on the street wouldn't call her fat.

    Well, the ones who say Jennifer Lawrence is fat would, but those people tend toward being idiots, so ...

    While her figure is nice I'll be honest. If I saw her at the beach or out walking around my thought would be "She's got a nice shape but she really needs to lift some weights."

    My personal preference is a gal who has a few curves but also nice muscle definition showing.

    Just saying that a woman preferring me to have more muscle as she's watching me on the beach isn't exactly something I care about. I don't get pushing personal preferences for one's own body onto others. I can appreciate the beauty of a more toned body without wanting it for myself.

    Lmao.

    I also had a fat girl in my class who always kept talking about her hourglass figure, her Barbie looks and her cheerleader body type. And that men are crazy in love with her and women are crazy jealous.

    Everyone was like :huh: She had soft shapeless jellish body 200 pounds at least.

    Yeah because we all know fat = curvy. Lol.

    I'm not pushing my personal preference on anyone by saying that. It's not like I'm going to walk up to you and say "Honey, LIFT SOME WEIGHTS!" or not talk to you or say hi to you because you weren't muscular.

    How is my looking at someone and thinking that pushing something on them?

    I think you're kind of reading a bit more into this than you need to.

    Regardless of what size she was, how tragic her life was, or how unattainable her curves may be for most...I think we can all agree that she was stunningly beautiful! :smile:

    I love her outfit here as well...

    And she's got thighs! Look at that! And she's still stunning.

    In my original pic she was preggers-another amazing feat! She's still gaw-geous!

    She was a beautiful woman. Everyone is beautiful in one way or another, it's all about preference. Her shape doesn't happen to be my preference, she looks fragile or soft. I prefer strong and defined.

    I remember that GAP used to make low rise "curvy fit" jeans (I think they still make the curvy fit-just not the same as wen I used to buy them/when they first came out).

    I loved them...they didn't have a gap in the back when you bent over...hugged my hips and thighs well but weren't mom jeans...

    Totally off topic, but there it is.

    My wording is a bit off. It's the idea that what she looks like is not good enough because it isn't your personal ideal. I don't want a six-pack or super hard, toned arms (low body fat) but I've never had the thought that someone should stop lifting or eat more because she has those features.

    I find that kind of insulting, and while I'm sure you wouldn't walk up to a woman on the street and say that, you did just say that to every single woman reading this thread.

    Strange, I thought her response to you was a little "off" too. Perhaps she misunderstood? You didn't say or push any preference.

    How is my saying this any different than a man having a preference towards a woman or thinking something similar?

    You're trying to poke a stick in a hornets nest and rile it up and I'm not sure why.
