I mean seriously, as a guy I don't find anything attractive about women who look like stick figures. What's wrong with women accepting themselves for who they are instead of starving themselves thin because Hollywood keeps sending them the message that they're not good enough like they are?

i totally heartily agree with u !!!
I think this occurs becoz theres a demand , there will be supply .... . new anorexic (not naturally thin ) stars/model get out ...ppl start to idolized them , buying wutever products they r trying to sell ...means big $$$$ earned ! ...so why do they want to trash such gd business into the bin ?. Slowily ppl will be brainwash ( i admit that at time when im weak i got bw too :S ) by wut they define as beautiful , guys with model type gf feel they will be envy by other guys hence feeling superior while those guys with real gals dont give out that superior air .
Moreover , do u notice that the gal clothes sizes are getting smaller n smaller ? lol ..if we dont lose some pounds we may find ourselves hard to buy "fashionable" clothes at all ! ...so wut is there for us to control but our weight ? ..
Girls dont really dress for guys in my opinon ...they dress for gals ..no i dont mean we r being lesbians or anything. But its just that eg: i mean if i buy a new piece of top i dont think guys will notice that till i mention thats its new (get it ? lol )
so u see , its hard to being a gal ! we lose (pounds) some gain (attraction) some .. dont u agree ? lol ...Its just how we handle this balance :D ...

And it's not just the girls who are affected either. The men are becoming more and more influenced by the male ideals they see in Hollywood with large muscular builds. There is a mental disorder known as Muscle Dysmorphia, and much like Anorexia there is a distorted body image, but this time the sufferer sees themselves as too 'small' or 'puny'. They may go to extremes to try and obtain their ideal, but it will never be enough to satisfy them.
Anorexia is a terrible illness and obviously can be life threatening. It's awful the messages that are being sent out to men and women about how if they don't look a certain way, then they aren't acceptable. Deep down, we all know it's not true, but when you have vulnerable young people or people predisoposed to obsessive/addictive behaviour, it can really start to cast doubts in their minds and trigger off such mental disorders.
HTH.

AngryAmer, you're absolutely right! Here's what kills me though about that. They'll post pictures in Magazines such as the Enquirer and write articles on who has gained weight and make fun of them. No one is really safe from being ridiculed, they even post weight gains of Teenagers in Hollywood. Then in the same Magazine they'll show someone being too thin or anorexic looking and comment on them needing to gain weight! Does that make any sense to you? Hollywood is encouraging this behavior
and the media is helping them. It's no wonder young people today are having so much trouble accepting themselves. Hollywood is sending a dangerous message.

Eating only fruits and salad in a day is not good, your parents aren't teaching you proper eating habits. I know what you mean about the skinny thing. I'm Japanese, German, Chinese and Russian and the Asians in my family are ALL like 5'4 85-90 lbs and eat only rice and vegetables, it's insane and bad. I encourage at least 1000 calories a day for you and then slowly build up to 1200 and stay there. If your BMI says you're thin then believe that and disregard your parents.

Because that's what popular. Heaven forbid people start thinking on their own and taking better care of themselves. It's the selfish greed of hollywood.
