Beyonce wouldn't be sexy if she weighed the same as Jessica simpson?

Question

Why is it the Stick figure thin is the ideal look for white women while black women are expected to carry a little meat with them? Why is it the when a white woman gets a second helping she's letting herself go but if a black woman goes for second helpings she's adding to the sexy?

I am black sister with a height of 5'8", weight of 175lbs, and measurements of 36" 28" 42" and a close friend of mine (white)said that if she'd weighed the same as me she'd get no attention from the men she wants who desire her to be a size Zero. Why is this?

Answer 1

Because ethnic groups, like black and hispanics, grew up being told to eat their entire plate for many generations. Food is comfort and a huge meaning to life, at least in my entire family. People with meat on their bones are preferred and seen as healthy and able to bear children. White people, in the olden days, were taught not to eat too much to keep their figure. That part in Gone with the Wind when Scarlett was told to not be a pig at the picnic is a good example. That mind set still stays here. We must liberate the white woman!

Answer 2

different preferences and different "ideals" of beauty from eacn individual race. halle berry is about the same dimensions as jessica and she is beautiful. and it is rare for a white woman to even have the same dimensions as you do. white ladies who have big asses are also big everywhere else. white ladies are more top heavy in nature and skinny in the middle. black woman are more thicker in the hips and a*ss. I have rarely seen black women with both big hips and a*ss AND with big racks, naturally I mean without surgical enhancement. some woman get caught up in the ideal of beauty for either their race or another. different point of vewis really.

Answer 3

It's a bunch of BS you women come up with to justify your own "ideals"

who reads all those beauty and fashion mags anyway.

Plenty of white guys dig on chunky white women it's the OTHER white women that CAP on them.

Answer 4

Maybe because some black men and some white men have different ideas for their "perfect woman"? I don't know. It's not fair though.

Answer 5

Girl, I am white with a ghetto booty to die for, and I have a shapely figure. Men follow me everywhere I go. The point is, big and tone is ok, big and curvy is alright, but big and sloppy is not that attractive. I keep my big booty tone, and I look good with it, but maybe less mucsular or less shapely girls look odd with extra weight because it is all fat and is not tone, so it looks sloppy.

Answer 6

its just the perception of the men.different men have different tastes.not all men want white women in anorexic pants and not all black men was bigger women.its just a stereotype.i saw beyonce on trl and although she wasnt as ''big'' as she once was she looks alrite with her new,slimmer figure.

Answer 7

when a white woman is a little heavier her skin doesnt look as tight and young, you know? the skin sags a lot. black women (well black ppl in general) age beautifully because their skin stays tighter so being a little heavier is more attractive because the skin doesnt sag as much (lol)

Answer 8

i think that's stupid. i mean like if jessica had "second helping" and weighed like beyonce, would she be like as pretty? that's stupid i think that all women shouldn't try to be as skinny as some of the actresses out there (cough cough nichole richie) but like i think that white and black women would look fine if they had the same body type.

Answer 9

because as black woman and hispanic woman we are known for having curvy bodys and white grils there not all there known for is been really skinny w/ long lags w/ long necks and big boos

Answer 10

that's definately a guy question. me personally, i think that it has to do with the skin color - i look better with a tan. pale, white fat isn't appealing. i think a little color, whether it be natural, spray on, or whatever conceals the cottage cheese.
