Oprah is so butt-ugly :o
So who is it that constitutes beauty? Paris? Milan? or the Oscars?

*All I see in this thread are a bunch of fatasses in denial! For God's sake people, thin *is* good. Always. Really. People, That Is All.*

The point is she looked worse when she was thin cause she looked ill.

Anyway, as I said earlier, why is this discussion focussed on women only? How many girls do you see giving chubby/overweight guys a chance? Very few if any.
So Mehnaz, your point is that body weight, or overweight, is a factor in determing if you find the other person as attractive, or not. Its the whole package that counts. It doesn't matter if a woman is deciding this about a guy or a guy is deciding about a woman. Right?
To put it in another way, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. So there might be some guys who dig fat girls, or vice versa. But generally, if someone has an obese body, then they can take their pretty face to someone who appreciates it. Cz chances are some people won't ignore their obese bodies.
Fret made a good point. Obesity is a disease. Being slightly over-weight, carrying a couple pounds over the IDEAL weight, is one thing. But being terribly fat and hauling 300 lbs of bodyfat is something else altogether. So there is a distinction. A person typically won't lose their attraction by just having a few pounds over.
Faisal, you make some good points. :k:
In my opinion. it’s important for a person to look attractive for his/her OWN sake, NOT for the sake of anyone else. If a person doesn’t feel good with his/her weight regardless of what it is, then that person needs to shed it given it’s not too much above their normal body weight. If it IS way above normal body weight, then the person needs to see a doctor! It’s a given that extreme weight gain is not only very unhealthy but also unattractive.
I am a normally slim, average-weight girl for my height but I do tend to add and lose a few pounds here and there each year. I know when I’ve put on a few pounds because it tends to show first on my face if I observe closely and I begin to get a pimple or two on my face also during times of weight gain. That is my signal to start losing weight so that I can start looking good again to MYSELF. Mashallah overall though, I have nothing to complain about. I’m no model size 2 nor am I Ms. Oprah Winfrey…lol…but I am very happy with who I am as a person and I think in the greater scheme of things, that is what counts.

Yes Faisal, I agree. I don't know. I think overall people place way too much emphasis on looks. That's just me though and my personal opinion. To give another perspective of things, in the past, I've been involved with someone whose main reason for being with me was 1. he thinks I'm gorgeous; and 2. his friends also think I am good-looking. It was like being a trophy....sure it was flattering, but it certainly gets tiring cause I do have brain too. My personality, thought and opinions were being completely overlooked cause of my looks.
Beauty can be a double-edged sword I guess.

You know what annoys me the most? It’s not that men take attractive women at face value without giving them credit for their intelligence and opinions, it’s more the case that women in these situations ALLOW men to think this way. You have to almost impose your thoughts and make yourself be heard to convey that you’re not only physically attractive but mentally too as well as intelligent and “deep.”. The combination is devastatingly sexy to men, trust me.
Yes, I know.
