Guys, what do you think of girls
that care too much about what men think?
Seriously, ladies. I've seen 5 or 6 posts asking for male opinions, and I guess when you are in a situation like this, where you can ask these questions, it's tempting.... But really, we don't need to shape our bodies, or our appetites based on what the majority of men on some message bored think. If we try to turn ourselves into what men want, we lose ourselves and can become very hollow and unhappy (and in fact UNattractive to men). Be yourself, look how you want to loo, then find a man who is attracted to you, loves you for that, or don't and be happy on your own.

Yes, dear. The first question was a joke / irony (but I'm still unclear on the definition of irony like most people, so I just avoid the word).0 -
Well put!0

Is it ironic that the first one to mention the irony of this thread is a guy?0

True especially to female family members particularly about weight issues :grumble:0 -

This illustrates my original point. Girls are working it to impress other women...that men show up as a result is just the icing...mmm, icing is my favorite part, buttercream...0 -
I never understand it.
1. We're not all the same. Some of us are complete opposites in fact. You can find one dude who will not date anything other than a perfect 10 blonde and one dude who is only into morbidly obese women. So there's no point in asking in the first place.
2. I'm personally only interested in a woman being herself. So if she's planning to change herself based on what a group of strangers on the internet said they liked I couldn't be less interested in her.0 -

Meh, speak for yourself.
I bust my *kitten* so I can do the things I want to in life that I couldn't do when I was obese. I really don't give two craps what other women think of me. They can either take me as I am or leave me be. I do think a lot of women try to compete with other women, so your point is taken, but certainly not all of us.0 -

So True! They ask the question and then get every opinion possible from men AND women so they're none the wiser 11 pages of opinions later0 -

Grasshopper, enlightenment is not found in the opinions of the many...only lighthearted entertainment...0 -
I would wager half the guys on MFP find insecure women to be fantastic prey... I mean, really hot!0

Thanks Rae! I needed to hear this today!! Thanks!0

That doesn't annoy me as much as the women who pretend to be something they're not because they think it will impress men....if I had lost a pound for every time a girl commented on how she only has guy friends because women are catty or how she thinks like a guy well I'd be anorexic.0

This bothers me too. It's like the ultimate attack against women. How are we ever going to get men to take us seriously and give us equal thoughts and rights if we can't get along with each other. Now some women are catty and they should stop that, but the way some women degrade women as a whole is worse.0 -

How do they think this is an attractive quality to men? Men have mothers, sisters, daughters, female friends and want us to get along with the women in their lives.0 -
This could be bad. I like a little attention because I'm working out and hey someone else notices.
A honk across a parking lot or a hoochie whistle, whatever. Its an innocent little ego boost. Would I date a guy who did this? NO. But I don't mind a little noticing at all by men. I wouldn't mind it coming from a woman either but I rarely ever roll down the window in my car and WOOHOO at women. Usually they're friends or family who yell "STOP IT you weirdo!!"
Do I do any of my diet & exercise because I want that attention? No not really. Maybe in the way that that scummy old bf newly divorced can find me on FB and say WOW I screwed up, I was an idiot / jerk. But thats just one of those things. 99% is because I want it for me. Not someone else but I wanna live longer & be stronger. I don't care what some chick dude or martian thinks.
The 1% left is just vengeful evil witch who wants to look better & be stronger & live longer just to piss off everyone who said I couldn't. (Laff)0 -
Please dont bash me for this..pretty please
BUT I think 'mos't of these threads 'what does he think/what does it mean/what do I do in this situation' are posted by younger woman..which I think is totally normal as you navigate through dating/growing up etc
Regardless of age, I guess everyone is curious about different perspectives etc
But i do think as u get older you feel more comfortable in your own skin and more confident with your own decision making0 -

Do you have any idea how much I wanted to post this a couple weeks ago???
I'm me. Take me or leave me, but if you leave me, you weren't the right guy, anyway.0 -

Oh, I was definitely a lot more concerned with what people thought when I was younger. I had this whole "tough girl" persona I put out. I only drank beer, I tried to look like I didn't try when I got dress (ultimate stupidity). Really it wasn't until meeting my husband (who is 8 year old than me) that I was able to break that. He didn't know me, and actually expected me to be girly, so I was free to be as girly, or not-girly, as I wanted to be. He also didn't care about little things like a girl's appetite, or muscle size, ect, like a lot of the younger, less-mature boys I had dated did.0 -

Great post. I think far too many people attempt to get healthy for someone else rather than for themselves. It should be about how you want to look and feel in your skin. Not how anyone else thinks you should look. And it should be about being healthy.
I am younger (only 22) and I do believe it is a lot of people my age who are trying to figure out who try are/want to be and they seek that direction from everyone around them so these boards are a perfect way to try to find it.
But in the end it comes down to having the body/clothes/appetite/whatever that you feel most comfortable with and that will allow you to be healthy at the same time.0
