I like skinny people.
I use them to floss my teeth when I'm done eating.0 -

Jelly bellies, if you may.0 -

Can you imagine the uproar if those skinny girls started posting pictures with things like "You're not curvy, you're fat"...
Don't kid yourself into thinking those pictures don't exist or that bias doesn't exist.
However, I do agree with your main point, that there is no one specific ideal for what a person looks like (or how a person behaves, frankly). I'm usually annoyed by any of those, "Real women ... " or "Real men ... " type slogans. (and I'm not talking goofy sports shirts and such). I don't think that kind of mentality serves anyone. But I don't bother getting bent about it, either.0 -

Just do your thing, ignore the noises. Try to make YOU happy and work for it. Rather than trying to please who don't matter. And don't kid yourself, when you let these bashing get to you, you basically are trying to please them because somehow those noises matter enough for you to let them get to you.
If you wanna be skinny, be skinny
wanna be muscular, be muscular
wanna be a wizard, apply for Hogwarts0 -
Don't worry, I judge enough for the both of us.
Yeah, I'm jealous. All. The. Time.0 -

While it annoys me to see, and I'll usually say something if somebody on MFP posts one of those sayings...
It's just stuff people say to make themselves feel better. And I WISH they could find a more productive way to do it. A way to do it without bashing others.
Just realize, it's not about you. It's about them.
And I truly believe once they get at a better place internally they will focus less on bashing others.0 -
I didn't get the message yet about skinny bashing.. must not of went cat form yet cause all I get on my FB posts are people and cat pictures..0

People will bash people for their bodies. Heavy, thin, muscular, etc. It's just ignorance.0

But, it's also important to remember that people have preferences and it's not the same as bashing.0

People that bash/body sham ANYONE based on their weight, clothing size, whatever are ignorant and classless IMO. People come in all shapes, weight and sizes. People will do this regardless sadly and I've seen it more here on this site than anywhere.0

I see it much more on this site than anywhere else. Not sure I even see it anywhere else (other than a small random comment now and then).0 -
And to those that do bash I usually say "You don't find me attractive? Good. I'm kinda glad."But, it's also important to remember that people have preferences and it's not the same as bashing.0 -

Its because everyone has a different definition of fitness and everyone thinks they're right and everyone thinks that they need to correct others because if somebody else disagrees with them then they're just wrong (and mean) so we get clash of ideas which, due to lack of tolerance and education and abundance of anonymity, ends up being this huge 20+ pages of bickering which doesn't do ANYONE anything good0 -

Hogwarts my good friend. Thats the happening place. Just grab an owl, tie your application to its feet and tell it to give it to Dumbledore. It'll get there! Lack of response means that you're merely a muggle though
