Don't you hate it when magazines say 'Im a natural woman' and shes a plus size?

Question

Not to offend any plus-size women, but im a natural 0 and i'm sick of seeing magazines with articles titled
'I'm a natural woman!' and she's a plus size!
So do we all have to be plus-size to be 'natural women' ??

I hate it because people look down on me as much as they look down on larger-people.
They look at me and think im not 'natural' - they think im anorexic, when indeed i'm not, I was just blessed with my figure.

Women should be happy with who they are but yet they always have to go around putting someone else down - I'm sick of plus-size women moaning that thin-people are 'unnatural'!

Anyone else share my views? Just wondering what you guys think because personally im sick of being looked down on and being told im not natural!

Answer 1

to the pinkwtf eva girl who is bitching about "skinny minnie anorexics" first do you even KNOW what ANOREXIA IS? anorexia is not something people choose to be, do you think they like not being able to EAT normally without feeling like the lowest of the low; or feeling horrible and ugly. Im sure the majority of "plus sized" women have the exact same feeling who arent "comfortable with their bodies". so maybe you should shut your mouth when you talk about something you don't know anything about.
second. i am a natural 0 too, i know girls who WANT to gain weight but cant and are naturally about 100lbs. so instead of ranting about how "us skinny girls" are stupid and lalala maybe im sensing a tad bit of jealousy? i am small, but i never down any plus size women, if your happy with your size thats fantastic, but stop bitching about girls being skinny
honestly, if you were really comfortable with your size, you wouldnt be complaining about skinny people would you?

If your a size 0 or a plus size, and if your not taking dietary aids or such, I'd have to say your "natural". Some people are naturally big, some are natuarally small, it's just the way people are. Luckily we're not all the same. I think if we were, we'd just find something else to complain about... hair, eyes, lenght of arms, size of feet, etc.

Your upset because people are judging you by your size, just as the larger people are judged by their size. Perhaps you can do something about it.

I was always thin, but luckily at least of average height. You can find a dress style, suit style, or causal attire that will hide your tinyness. Or you can take sheer pleasure in being that small. Many women would love to be in your shoes. If your shorter than "average", you could look great getting dressed up with high heels, thereby appearing taller, and getting the approval of everyone around you as being someone who knows how to look nice.

Attitude is a BIG part of this. You can be small and eveyone love you (and want to protect you) by projecting a great and positive attitude. If you don't want people to want to protect you (I think that's natural), then project an image of "she's a sweetie but she can certainly handle herself". Take up a martial arts class, which will only back up the image.

Enjoy who and what you are. Other people opinions are just that, opinions. You know what they say about those!

Answer 3

Being a natural woman has nothing to do with how you look. I'm not a size "0" and I"m a very natural woman. Somehow you totally missed the point. This is not about size. However, it's sad that you have issues about your own size. You might need to seek some help with that. It feels like your carrying a large chip on your shoulder regarding larger women and tiny women. I'm happily in between in my size and I'm very natural. I don't cake on the make-up, my skin is nice and I don't require foundation, I was blessed in that way. I like being natural. You need to work on getting comfortable with who you are. Don't worry over peoples size. It's what's inside that makes the person, not what's on the outside. Best wishes to you.

I agree with you, but I think these magazine articles agree with you too.

The general message that is very prevalent in the media today is that you have to be thin thin to be valuable and beautiful. The "natural woman" ads that you've mentioned are counteracting that message by saying that large women can be beautiful too. But that doesn't mean that they think thin women can't be beautiful.

Frankly, many of the models and thin women that you see around are unnatural -- many models get their figures only through smoking and doing drugs and eating disorders, for example. So it really is unusual to see people around who are your size and are healthy. I'm happy for you, but surely you realize that it is unusual. So you can't blame people for wondering, and being concerned about your health. If you did have an eating disorder, wouldn't you want people to care?

In general, I think our society is just too obsessed with body image. I wish that everyone focused more on health than appearance.

Answer 5

I don't think it's a matter of saying that thin Women are unnatural it's more of a matter of validating Women that are not a size zero by letting them know hey it's o.k. to be your size.

Sweetheart the mjority of the Women in the World are not size 0.

I think that's too skinny if you ask me and I'm a Man.

I agree with you about the verbage. Remember it's all about sales for them.

They are trying to target Women who have problems dealing with their weight.

Answer 6

I don't like it when 'plus sized' and 'regular size' women put 'naturally thin' women down, but I also don't like it when 'naturally thin' women put 'regular size' and 'plus sized women down'. It's like it's a constant battle of the sizes and everyone needs to stop criticising each other and accept the body types they have.

HTH : )

Answer 7

Plus size women are "all natural" we don't have to work out and live on Slim Fast or diet pills to feel beautiful. Just living life and being confident with who you are is the most beautiful thing in the world!

Answer 8

I'm a plus size woman but i never down thin people. just forget about all the mean stuff they say. people come in different sizes.

Answer 9

Both heavy and thin women are natural. The only women who aren't natural are the ones with implants or had a sex change.

Answer 10

and I am sick of you skinny Minnie anorexics who think that plus size women are not worth your time.

Give me a woman every time that has some meat on her bones. Plus size women out number you anorexics by far...hopefully you will be one some day and you will understand...that is unless you die from starvation trying to be skin and bones.

Note to Scorcia or what ever you call yourself: I happen to be married to a large plus size woman and we both see how you stupid anorexics are about them. It is sickening. And yes, I know what anorexic as well as bulimia is...so why don't you shut your stupid mouth....unless you wish to offer an apology for your remarks.
