Thanks, apples.

And I'm not quite saying you're an ass, analbolique. I've been thinking a lot about this. In one respect, I can see the point some make that they feel people are just too nice, to a point where they doubt the sincerity. And I suppose there's a bit of that in the world, sure. And there are certainly times that it is courageous to voice an unpopular opinion. But when it comes to things like this it just goes back to the old "if you can't say something nice, don't say it at all". Why hurt feelings just to prove a point?

With this issue in particular, is it so hard to believe that someone could find any of these women attractive despite their body? I'd wager a guess they all have someone who loves them. And chances are they're having wild, passionate sex, too. Sure, looks are important, but there is so much more that is more important. I guess for me what attracts me to someone isn't their body, or their face or what have you. And since that's how it works for me, I gotta assume there are folks out there who feel the same. I'm not delusional. I know this isn't what most people are like. But there's a lot of folks who aren't too bothered about it either.

And, I have to add, I really find the middle picture quite beautiful. The softness, the curves, the contours, the model's courage in capturing something about herself that most would find, well, appalling. Defiant, even. I bet you could even appreciate that.

First of all, did I say anything bad that would hurt people?

Secondly, why be hurt by what an asshole like me has to say anyway? That's the problem with a lot of people. They care too much about what strangers think of them because they're so insecure and make their own opinion worth less than that of someone they don't know at all. If they think they're beautiful, why give a fuck about what anyone else thinks?

Thirdly, why even think I'm looking for approval from anyone here at the org? I would have never thought any of my posts suggested that.

BTW, I think it's rather funny you said the following: is it so hard to believe that someone could find any of these women attractive despite their body? Are you trying to say they're physically not attractive?

i guess i would be considered a 'big woman' by societys standards...but i don't look at myself that way. i am 6ft tall, 180lbs and sexy as fuck!!! i am comfortable in my skin...go to the gym 5 days a week and i am strong in mind and body. i love myself...are there things i would like to change?? sure. everybody has something about themselves they would like to improve upon...am i working on it?? you bet your ass!!! and if i don't reach my weight goal then thats ok too...i know what i'm worth and i would be just fine and dandy to live the rest of my life out just like i am today....healthy, happy and hot...even as a "big woman".

Now all Lillth has to do is get her ego in check. lol
