In my very humble opinion...

Wait, so because someone took offense because you posted your opinion in a public forum stating that you wish every single woman looked like a specific image when we are all on here trying to reach a goal...and generally an image based one (Mr. Poster included), she is labelled insecure and put down? REALLY?
Yes, we are all entitled to our opinions, but if someone disagrees with your opinion they are simply expressing a difference and you should respect that (especially when you post it in a public place and insist others respect you...).
This post sucks and not because the women aren't beautiful (though the one in the oven freaks me out...talk about objectification), but because you want everyone to look a certain way and because you are not respectful of differing opinions.0 -
I happen to like brunettes, since I'm one of them.
Also if I could switch bodies with her at this moment I would but then I'd hit the weights really hard to firm it all up. I'm not into the 6 pack abs look either but I do prefer an athletic look.
This!0 -

So, to each their own ;-)
to me, THIS one is perfect.
The original post pic is "softer" than I have ever been or ever want to be. By US standards (around here at least) she would be considered "a little chubby".
So like they say, to each his own.
I like this picture too0 -
I didn't say photoshopped. Airbrushed.
Nope. I watched her whole cycle of America's Next Top Model. This is what she looked like. Gorgeous.this is probably airbrushed to the nth degree...
And I didn't say you did. I said THIS is what she looked like. The photo looks just like her on the TV show. Tan, free of cellulite, etc.0 -
All of the woman in the pictures are very beautiful. But i wanna be me

You are already pretty. If you want to improve on this, so be it.0 -

I see how my mis-punctuation might've given the idea that I was saying *she* had love handles...I was saying, I personally like love handles.i find it weird that you think she has "love handles" she looks thin to me!
Oh right, maybe i didnt read it properly Im still so shocked at the difference in views between two places! 0 -
reading other posts i realise that not everyone in the UK thinks she is "small" and not everyone in the USA thinks she is "big" ...
fair enough she isnt very muscley or toned but i think shes a perfect size. i guess thats just my opinion tho :laugh:0 -

I watched also, it was one of my favorite seasons. Her body on the show did look like this, but I agree with Q that this picture is airbrushed into perfection. Even the ones on ANTM are done this way. Tyra has mentioned multiple times that the photos that end up in judging are airbrushed, just like in the professional world.0 -
Ehh, I don't see what the other Brits here are saying really. Maybe because they're women and have a different standpoint, but I don't believe her to be thin at all. On a scale of 1-10, with 1 being anorexic and 10 being obese, I would put her around a 5.
With that said, she's undoubtedly an attractive woman.
I have to agree with you.
I wouldnt say she looks anorexic or even skinny, but she still looks thin to me. Maybe a 3 on your scale. She definatley doesnt look overweight at all in my opinion.0 -
Ive been to the UK, and I live in the US, I would think that by UK standards she would be thick and by US standards she would be thin....but I think we shouldnt strive to be "thin" just healthy, by whatever that means for your body type.0
-
Not my preference, I partial to brunettes.
Looks like she used to be one, so you're probably ok.0 -
I love Whitney Thompson. She's one hell of a sexy pitch. Her body is my dream body.0

Sorry to dissapoint you
but girl this size will have some celulitis and stomach pouch
she is defenitely photoshoped...
or she is having expensive anti celulitis treatments
Not always. I've been her size and never had an issue with cellulite or a pooch. Thick and healthy is different than thick and flabby.0 -

If I remember correctly, yes, she was brunette before Tyra Banks decided she should be blonde.0 -
I'm not a Brit myself, but I am curious about this too. I've lived abroad and been friends with a number of English and Scottish women and they were about that size and definitely trying to get smaller. To the idea that no one over there likes the thin look.... I obviously can't speak for everyone, but there is a reason that Pippa Middleton's behind garnered such attention and she is quite a bit smaller than the woman featured.Ehh, I don't see what the other Brits here are saying really. Maybe because they're women and have a different standpoint, but I don't believe her to be thin at all. On a scale of 1-10, with 1 being anorexic and 10 being obese, I would put her around a 5.

I have to agree with you.
I think the woman featured is quite beautiful and, if I had her proportions, I might be happy being that soft myself. As it is, I think my body looks better with more muscle and less fat.
I wouldnt say people here dont like the thin look. i just think that people like to be more curvy rather than muscley.
my sister is a size 6, and she isnt curvy at all, we were eating at an all you can eat restuarant earlier tonight and so many "bigger" people were staring at her, to the extent that she felt uncomfortable and had to put her cardigan on to "hide her bones" as she said!0 -
Nope, I'm into brunettes with short hair.... and dark eyes... 0

Oh, ew. I would absolutely hate to live in a world where all women were expected or desired to look the same. Variety is the best!
You're definitely entitled to your opinion, but I hate the wording of "this is what women should look like". Says who? :grumble:0 -
I'll be larger than that size at my smallest but I have quite the badonk :blushing:0
-
Awesome. Makes me feel totally inferior.
You'd look like that too if someone photoshopped you! =]0 -

I'm going to have to agree with this. I do think she's beautiful and I think curves are awesome, but I've been thinner than her and still had a stomache pouch and cottage cheese thighs.0 -
umm I think I need to get some photoshop software! 0 -
*Gasp!* her thighs are touching! lol, I have always thought this was the Ideal, even when I was a teen, not so over weight things are starting to fold in, but not so skinny you see bones, I want to be like that nice and shapely and still pudgy, and soft like a pillow lol, I want to be comfy when my hubby cuttles me at night0

THIS is the WORST pose I have ever ever seen.Prefer this.
It's just....illogical. If it implies shes a woman that likes being in the kitchen, she'd never hang on to the oven racks like that.
OH and to the OP - She's STILL extremely photoshopped0 -

Sorry I am like 100 pounds over wieght, and while yes I have a BIG tummy, my legs are rocking, no kidding no celulate, and I now really skinny girls whos legs are all jiggaly, its a matter of body type0 -
Exactly; she looks manly.
So, to each their own ;-)

So like they say, to each his own.
To me, I think she's over done it at the gym. I prefer men to have muscles. Women were made for curves The veins on her arms look grose
Kissing her would be like kissing my older brother....0 -
There's nothing on the burners!
