"What do guys think of..." JUST STOP!

in Chit-Chat
I keep seeing these kinds of threads asking "what do guys think of *this*" or "what will girls think of *this*" and so on. It makes me sad how so many of you are so bothered about other peoples opinions of your own body and base your self-esteem, confidence and worth on what the opposite sex thinks of you. Whatever happened to being comfortable in your own skin and getting fit and eating well for you and you only? I totally understand wanting to look attractive but going out of your way to seek everyone's approval isn't healthy.

It's not just about weight, I get mean and judgemental comments on my music taste, interests, dress sense and tattoos all the time but I simply don't care. I like what I like and look the way I do because I personally like it, and what the majority of people think of me just doesn't affect me.

In fact I've received mean/snarky messages on this site about my weight and appearance, but these kinds of people are better known as *kitten* and I have come a long way to give a *kitten* about their pathetic lowlife opinions.

Anyways I'm not expecting people to read this, I'm simply just ranting lol. Sorry if this came across as a bit moan-y but all I'm trying to say is that MFP people should try loving themselves a bit more because you're worth so much more than another person's opinion of you :flowerforyou:

    Agreed.

    While it's a bit beside the point...even if someone IS genuinely looking for opinions, it's a bit pointless as what is totally unacceptable to one guy or girl could be very appealing to another guy/girl.

    The sound is more like someone trying to unclog a very stubborn toilet.

    Usually when I tell a guy I'm not interested I certainly do.

    She's 20 years old with more smarts and self-esteem than women twice her age.

    Quite clearly.

    I love myself so much which is why it's so easy for me to not give a damn what people think *sassy hair flip*

    Completely unrelated - I love the polar bear & bunny image. Adorable and dig the simplicity.

    This isn't going to be the popular answer. But, if you really need that kind of validation (or whatever you want to call it), there is probably a fetish site out there devoted to whatever body you have.

    :heart: this! How boring would our world be if we were all so generic? Love yourself and worry less with what all the "guys" "girls" think is the "best" for you.

    I never ask what other people think of me, because mean people make me have all the sad feels! Don't ask, don't tell, and I won't cry.

    Nope I'm actually a 40 year old dude who just pretends to be 20 and steals young girls pics :tongue:

    My favorite quote from Go Kaleo:
    Here's a novel concept: YOU get to decide what is healthy, sexy and beautiful when it comes to your own body.

    And the reality is that no matter what you decide, someone will tell you you're wrong.

    But, someone else will think you're perfect. When you do what YOU love, when you live the life YOU want, when you portray the image YOU want to portray, there will be someone (probably a lot of someones, actually) who are looking for those qualities in a friend, or partner.

    Don't live for the people telling you you're wrong. Live for yourself, and the people who love the qualities you possess will be drawn to you.
