My body ideal is different than yours

But...but....what if she's muscular?! Surely she must be crucified for such a thing!

Other way around. If she's NOT muscular, she's clearly skinny fat, and according to 90% of the people here, that's "gross."

Thats also annoying

and why i won't be posting any progress pictures ever. i have the anti MFP ideal body :laugh:

Me, too. *sigh*

Someone posted a photo of Jennifer Lawrence, who basically has my body (though smaller!) and some jerk said her thighs were "disgusting." Um ... thanks.

People just don't get it, and we're so much harder on women on this site than we are on the men. Seriously, think about it, we look at the guys and say "he's not my type" and look at the women and say something nasty and degrading and derogatory. The women on here are beautiful. We sometimes forget that while we're standing there bashing a person's appearances that there's someone on the other end reading those things about themselves or about someone with which they identify. Just because someone isn't your ideal is no reason to call them names or pick them apart. Words like fluffy, butch, manly, squishy, and lumpy are not complimentary. Describing something using descriptive words like "ewe" or "gross" is also not reaffirming.

I find so much support and wonderful information on here, but I'll never understand why we have to be so ugly to each other. It's important to remember that ugly ain't just on the outside. The next time you type a comment about someone's physical appearance take an extra 30 seconds to think about how you would feel if you were reading that about yourself.

It's times like this I'm thankful that I'm a guy.


Wait, no. Scratch that.


It's times like this I'm thankful that I don't give a flying f*** what people on the internet think or say about me.

When it comes to celebrities I think as a whole we forget that they're actually...you know.. PEOPLE. They're real live human beings, just like the person on the other end of the screen behind the tubes and cat videos. The internet by it's very nature inherently dehumanizes us and when we no longer consider the other person a human, we no longer feel they're worth consideration.

also, some people are just douche biscuits.
