So is anyone else getting the chick in a g-string for their banner add about her having a stomach? Now I HAVE a stomach, I'd be tickled if I had her's, that's what's wrong with the girls today, if they aren't a size 0 then then think they are fat! Rant over :flowerforyou:

42 pounds of stomach fat in 2 months. 21 pounds a month,,, 5 pounds a week. Well ya' just know that's a good idea. Healthy too!

Ya', she's cute. I'll bet she was cuter before, without the hollow eyes and the lightheadedness and the constant headache.

I'm with you. Those ads do NOTHING to promote HEALTH which should be our main goal. Not to look like a size 0 starved-@## model.

We're not all built to look like that. Heck, most men I know don't look at girls like that- they look for WOMEN.

:grabbing soapbox with determined look in eye:

The only reason "society" thinks size 0 is attractive is because it's so RARE. Those people are FREAKS of nature.

I think you have to look at a bigger picture. I am 4'11 I always wore a 0 before babies, I was still curvy, and certainly not a freak of nature. Sizing depends on the way you carry your weight.

Edited to add: I was not a stick figure. Society has the wrong impression of what a 0 looks like.

Notice anything odd? The avergae sized woman in America cannot fit into the largest size offered by A&F. So it's no wonder we think we're all freaks. The clothing designers and stores aren't carrying sizes to fit us.

I'm 68" tall, weight 212 pounds, and have a 36" waist. How the heck do you get a 39" waist and weigh 190? When I started this I had a 46" waist and weighed 270. When my waist was 39 I weighed 240. Wierd wierd wierd,,,

Fortunately nobody cares. Guys bods are more varied than dog's bods,,, I'm going for the "Van Damme" look meself. :laugh:

Women are objects. :embarassed:

I myself was a thin object until I was 7 years old. Since then, I've been a fat lard.

What gives?

CasperO · July 2009

Wow, so much to say, so much to write. :grumble:

stormieweather · July 2009

I don't know about you all, but I don't walk around with my butt sticking out like ^^ hers ^^ either. Is that supposed to emphasise the curve of her back or something? She looks like she's one of those mermaid things on the bow of a boat, lol.

Unfortunately, the industry is accomodating the increasing size of Americans' waistlines:

http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/07/10/attitudes.overweight/index.html

Otherwise, why would I still wear a size 14 pants at 189 lbs/ 42 y.o. --- in highschool I weighed at most 160 and wore a 14. :noway:

A&F is geared towards teenie boppers anyways, isn't it?

That is so funny!!!! I thought the same thing when I seen it. What stomach? It looks like she is just pushing it out. What is the purpose of the G-String. If she had a stomach in either picture, I promise her she wouldn't attempt to put a G-String on.

kankan213 · July 2009

It's a long time fact that the hardest thing to obtain in a society is the most desired.

During times of famine/countries with a lack of food- the more full bodied women are admired and the thin ones ignored.

With all the food/drinks our society consumes, being thin is harder, therefore it is desired.

LAME! ....

Don't even get me started on shoes. All nine and tens are gone. If there was a wide width, it is long gone. If you try to order wides they are all out.
