    A thread analyzing, criticizing, and debating women's bodies, body fat, shape, attractiveness, dimensions, and alleged fatness has gone on for 18 pages? How sad.

    Would it be any different if it was a man?

    Or just more acceptable?

    Do you think it would happen if it were a man? Reminds me of an article a friend posted on FB a while ago called, "You never really hear about Mitt Romney's ankles." And while I get that this woman is a model, and since her body is her career, it's going to be discussed, still... women get scrutinized in ways men never do.

    I mean... so what if she doesn't have the "ideal" hourglass waist to hip ratio? Not all women have large breasts AND a defined waist AND wide hips.

    Personally? Having seen candid photos taken of me when I wasn't posing, I am NOT going to critique anyone's waist, hips, breasts or *kitten* for not looking flawless in every photo. Hell, even photos were I am posing, there's a lot that look pretty suckass, but especially if they're taken while I'm moving, walking, running, dancing.... Yikes.

    Nobody said she HAS to have perfect features/proportions. But that's the point. The title of the thread says she has the perfect bod and others have differing opinions.

    That picture makes her look WAY bigger than she actually is. I was just looking up other pictures of her (and videos of her runway) and she is not that big at all. She looks half the size of the original picture. However, I do think her body is lovely and it's sad that that is what is considered plus size in modeling, but I like my body to be more curvy personally because as someone mentioned she doesn't actually have much for a waist/hips for a "plus size".

    But I am glad to see a lingerie/bikini model that isn't skin and bones. :)

    I also don't see the VS models as "super anorexic". They are where they are for a reason.

    I think they all look toned and healthy IMO

    I agree, beautiful

    ditto.

    Just for poops and giggles, I wanted to see just how long it would take to make this photo look more like magazine shots.

    10 minutes, while eating lunch at my desk, with a 10 year old version of photoshop, very rusty 'shopping skills (not that I was ever very good to begin with) and no extra tools or filters.

    Fat? Chubby? No. Just not doctored. :laugh:

    And, hmmm.... now I know what to do with the photo from Warrior Dash when I was jumping over the fire and I had an "unsightly crease" on my stomach.





    Very good point!

    Very Pretty! Definitely not overweight. She looks healthy and there needs to be more models like her instead of the tons of anorexic, and drugged up ones that media says is what "Beauty" looks like and what we should strive for. I don't understand how anyone on this site, or anyone at all can judge this girl on the way she looks! Aren't we all striving to motivate each other and achieve healthy weights and healthy lifestyles? This girl looks great. Sunk in skin and bones are not beautiful. It's sad, in my opinion. But, that's just my opinion. I think a some curve is good :)

    People saying or even thinking she's fat need a) shooting or b) assessed for mental illnesses.

    Wow. After seeing this community bash on a girl who has a good enough body to have a successful career as a swimsuit model, I know I will never be posting before/after photos of myself in the forums!

    She is definitely a good inspiration for me. I don't want a gymnast build or body builder definition. I want to be at a healthy weight (which she is), be a little softer (which she is, not a thing wrong with that), and get my 5k time under 30 minutes.

    While she may not have your ideal body, she is definitely not fat or overweight by any means. That's ridiculous. If you honestly believe this, then you need to learn what a normal body weight looks like. Not every woman aspires to be on the lower end of the BMI range.

    Healthy model... Not the modeling industry's preferred body type - anorexic. Very attractive lady no doubt.

    It wasn't the media, it was a pro-ana site claiming she was fat. No rib bones=morbidly obese to those people...

    don't know if she's a model or not but she could be; when all is said and done she's one of my friends here on mfp and she rocks.

    Reading this thread, all I could think of was this:
    1268194661362.jpg
    The (photoshopped) version on the left was posted all over creation, and (mostly geeky) guys everywhere were going on and on about how "bigger girls can obviously be hot" and how they couldn't understand why other guys wanted practically-anorexic chicks.

    Then the original came out (the one on the right). Those same guys were saying, "Oh. Well... I mean she's still okay..."

    Alright, to be fair, a lot of them still said she looked amazing, but it was interesting to see some of them change their stance once they saw the original.

    ETA: Dangit, can't remember how to resize in BBcode, sorry.

    I've dated a few models and I prefer them skinnier. But as for the "general population", she's thinner than 90% of people out there.

    And I feel like everyone is missing the point- No matter what size you should not disparage or comment on a womans body (or man's body lol) unless it is positive ie "You look great" - I'm esp. shocked that all of this is coming from MFP people--- We all struggle with weight and body image. I don't understand the debate. She was called fat. Is she fat? Why would you call anyone fat?
    Yeah & this is really sad because we are all here for support & motivation but lately the forums are being bombarded with lots of estrogen echo chamber eating their own. So overweight people hate to be called fat but its very OK for them to call slim people anorexics??? WTF :noway:

    I'm surprised that this thread is still very much alive.

    As others have said, I wonder if it would still be alive if OP had written "OMG this model has a really nice bod!". The word "perfect" has people all riled up. There are countless women on MFP who are slimmer than Kate what's-her-name. OP just dissed them.

    This is part of the reason that people find the boards to be so rude and condescending. If we're here to support everyone and just be healthy then we shouldn't be spending how many ever posts saying that somebody is fat or overweight or not good enough or whatever. People pick apart other people's bodies SOOOO much on these forums. The OP thinks this is the perfect body...doesn't mean other people need to agree. But it also means members don't have to debate it for this many pages.

    If anyone feels "dissed" by it, they're pretty much... a wuss. As far as I know, the OP hasn't been declared Grand Master Judge of all Beauty. Her opinion of what's perfect is just that... her opinion. I'm leaner (at least from that photo) and no where near as voluptuous as Kate Upton. I'm not offended that someone thinks her body is perfect.

    I think it just shows that there's a lot of women who are fed up with the typical images in every magazine and commercial, and there's a cry of "Oh, FINALLY! Someone I can relate to!" when someone dares to show a little fold or crease or jiggle.

    Kind of like when Jamie Lee Curtis did that "this is what I really look like, vs after all the makeup and editing" magazine spread about 10 years ago. Too many women are constantly comparing themselves to an unattainable, unrealistic image where every "flaw" is deleted.

    OP was just expressing shock that people would be calling this woman fat. You'd have to be trying really hard to feel dissed by her post. She didn't say, "This woman is clearly better than all other women thinner than her." You can do it in advertising--make a ridiculous claim like "The best burgers anywhere!" because everyone knows that there's no way to measure that and you aren't supposed to take it literally.

    Fat or skinny, it doesn't matter, because the woman has no waist/hips! Other than the ginormous boobs she's like a straight board when looking at her straight on and that is not attractive nor is it curvy. Her waist/hip ratio is probably 0.8-0.9.

    I would rather focus on "fat'/"skinny" comment because body shape is not something you could change...easily. She was born with no marked waistline. :(

    That is actually not true. You can change body shape. I went from a straight/box figure to a curvy one. All it took was some work.

    Can we just agree that whether you like/don't like her body, waist, body fat level, whatever that within the range of being healthy (that is, not endangering through being too thin or risking health by being too fat) that whatever you personally prefer is fine? As Lorina pointed out, one person's opinion is not a be all, end all. Some people want to look like her, other don't. GREAT. Diversity and differences making the world go round and all that?

    And I would hope we can further agree that is healthy for people and refreshing to see a woman walking a runway and on magazine covers who is not extremely lean? Seeing as the vast majority of women aren't model lean I think its lovely to see someone who reflects that beauty.

    Cripes! That doesn't even look like the same girl... :) She looks great in both but photoshopping certainly can change things eh?

    We don't disagree with each other. I said it "not very easily", you said "some work". :)

    I dont think OP meant to "diss" skinnier ones but the way she expressed her admiration indeed invoked all these all day long arguments. :)
