why do girls want to be like super skinny?

Question

why guys like girls/ women not 10 year olds

Answer 1

girls see celebrities in magazines and see how perfect they look and think there fat when theyre fat also they see all these people with eating disorders start to think theyre fat its hard to explain u really have to go through a eating disorder to understand

Answer 2

I really think the media has a lot to do with that. I mean, you can turn on the tv at anytime.. just skim through the channels, and there's some show, or commercial that is going on and on about how being a size 2 somehow equals beautiful. It's all over the magazines as well.. The image of what "beauty" is has become so shallow and distorted, that it is really causing a lot of young girls (and women as well) to damage their health and bodies.. trying to be like the models they see. It's sad... very sad.

Now, this is just my personal opinion... but I don't at all find super-skinny people to be attractive. When I say that, I am referring to the ones who are so tiny that you can see their bones.. That's unhealthy.. not "beautiful".

Of course, different people look good at different shapes and sizes. We are all different, and there shouldn't be so much pressure from the media, to look the same. There's nothing wrong with being who you are, and being comfortable with your body.

Health is the most important issue.. not size. I think too many people get it backwards, and strive to be thinner.. assuming that it somehow equals "healthier".. when it can often be just the opposite.

We should all be more supportive of each other, strangers and friends alike. The rude stares and nasty comments need to stop, now! It does no good.. and only ends up hurting peoples self-esteem.. Just because one person enjoys being thin, and another is fine being a larger peson (as long as both are healthy).. that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with either of them.

So in answer to your question.. While I may be larger than I would like (I'm working on losing weight) I certainly do not wish to ever be a size 2.

Answer 3

I know this one well. I'm a mildy overweight college student and in my experience, it's all about the media. Look at models, yes, the majority of them may be unhealty, but they are put up on a pedastel as the way a woman should look. Because of models coupled with the appearance of most movie stars, being thin is what is shown as being beautiful. Because of this, in normal social situations, women who aren't a size two are ridiculed. Some women are built small and have fast metabolisms but most don't. Add that pressure to magazine articles with in depth decriptions of how to lose that five pounds. Also, there are alot of pro-eating disorder websites that encourage and explain the best ways to starve themselves. Although there are many people in the acting business who aren't a size two, for example, America Ferrara, Chandra Wilson, Sara Ramirez, most are very small women. Thank God for women like the three above who are a normal weight and have all the talent and beauty of those women who are a size two.

Answer 4

Because in our society we view skinny as attractive, the prettiest girls on TV, in magazines, at our workplace, in school, throughout our entire lives, the prettiest girls are never fat are they? So of course girls wil strive to be super skinny

Unfortunately its just the society we live in, we believe we look better if we are skinny, we want to fit into a size small, not large or medium. We think guys will like us better if we are skinny, it contols most womens live to certain extent.

I'm not saying we should strive to be super skinny Im just saying that seems to be the way it is

Answer 5

Well, I dunno, I'm fat and I'm loosing weight, but it's nothing about the media. I think that girls wanna be SO skinny, not just because of the media, but because of stupid ignorant *** people like a nabbie that talk down about folks. I'm loosin weight because I know that I need to, even if the dude I was with loves me for who I am. It's stupid to be super skinny, I would rather be fat and eat a real meal that be skinny and eat a freakin leaf or two. I got friends and everything and there is nothing wrong with being fat, and them little girls that are out there feelin bad because they wear a size 2 and not a 0 and will starve them self to loose 5 pounds is the next generation. Y'all, Treat other folks with respect, no matter what they look like, we don't need another Paris runnin around. This is from the heart.

Answer 6

what i find funny about all of the previous answers is that everyone said something along the lines of "because we dont want to be super fat."

JUST BECAUSE YOU DONT LOOK LIKE A 12 YEAR OLD BOY DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE FAT!!!!!!!
just because you weigh more than 100 pounds does not mean you are morbidly obese.
just because you dont wear a size 0, that doesn't meant that you are plus sized.

and yes, i see all of the models, actresses, and musicians on tv, who are very skinny, but yet i am not stupid enough to think that is the true meaning of beauty.
since when does not having curves make you attractive??
curves are one of the most beautiful things about a woman!!
men don't have the honor of having nice breast, beautiful hips, and a shapely butt.
why would you want to get rid of something that helps define you as a woman and enhances your beauty??

i myself am fairly small. i am not skinny, but i am naturally small.
and whenever i am sick, or stressed out, which causes me to lose a few pounds, i ALWAYS make sure that i gain them back.
im sorry, but as a WOMAN, i would rather look my age, not like my 14 year old neice!!
i dont care what anyone says....... Lindsay Lohan, Mischa Barton, and whoever else, if they took off all those multiple layers of makeup, and put on a t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers, they would all look like they still belong in middle school, with the rest of the girls who haven't hit puberty yet!!
no curves at all!!
what REAL MAN do you see that is NOT in hollywood who actually finds that kind of stuff attractive??
what kind of man wants to be with a woman who looks like his little sister??

it makes me sick to think that people can be so foolish, to think that hollywood sets the standard of beauty.
no matter how much tv i watch, i could NEVER be so gullible.
its actually pathetic.

*******i know that there are some people who have a naturally fast metabolism, but sticking your fingers down your throat, while leaning over the toilet is a huge difference.
skin and bones belong in the morgue!!

Answer 7

Because fat is seen as "ugly" in today's society and everyone wants to be socially accepted so if that means being skinny, then that's what they'll achieve to maintain or become. It's sad becasue i think women who have curves (in certain places) are the most feminine and sexiest looking!

Answer 8

Because of society idea of that a skinny woman looks better than a plus size woman, but the media also fuel that stereotypism as well. Magazine cover only show the thin woman rather than the plus size woman on their covers.

Answer 9

i don't know.. i think it's because maybe they look at all the other girls who really are actually self-conscious themselves and they think they are fatter than them, and also from my view, alot of my friends either eat alot and don't gain a thing or eat horrible and are still the healthiest things, or are very short and skinny, everyone says I'm skinny but when i look down at my legs i see too chicken legs from KFC :-P

Answer 10

extraordinarily isn't the superb observe; extraordinarily is extra with regard to the face. yet great skinny women at the instant are not proper and this comes from a skinny woman...I desire I had somewhat extra meat on my bones!!
