Perception of beauty- is thin beautiful? [ENDS 06/06/2010]

Well it shouldnt really matter if your thin or fat really, if your beatiful it dosnt always mean your thin, Most people misjudge the fat and thin and just look at there apperence. Being fat is an advantage and a disadvantage at times. Being thin isnt saying your beatiful, some models are thin but so thin its almost ugly, you can be fat and beatiful...

Everyones different, and if your thin you COULD be beatiful but yet again you may not, im thin myself but its like if I looked in the mirror I would think im a monster appearing through some glass. Most thin people are thin on perpose thinkingi t will make them being pretty but if you see some people who do it they've made them self so thin there almost like me.

Being fat is an advantage

Thin isn't beautiful by default, I've seen a fair few butt ugly skinny people in my time but (in my opinion) you have to be thin to be 'beautiful'. Attraction to someone who is overweight confuses me. Larger people repulse me in terms of sexual attraction. I'm not saying their personality would be affected by their obesity (although their infatuation with food might get in the way of the relationship), but at the end of the day anyone who says looks don't play a massive part of their physical attraction to others may as well stop kidding themselves and admit they are never going to get someone who looks good. Fat people are ugly. Simples.

I didn't necessarily have a problem with most of your post as being skinny does seem to be the desired look these days, but I think saying "fat people are ugly. Simples." Isn't a true statement at all, because there are many different variations of obesity, and absolutely every obese person on this earth is NOT necessarily ugly!

@Garion, I think it's quite offensive to call all fat people ugly, just because they have excess weight it doesn't make them any less attractive. Yes I agree that obese people that are very VERY over weight are unattractive, but this still does not make them ugly. Everyone is beautiful in their own way, if they're not totally attractive, they may have at least one feature that is, thus no one can be called ugly not even fat people.

I think it's quite offensive that fat people put themselves in my field of vision.

just because they have excess weight it doesn't make them any less attractive

Yes it does.

Everyone is beautiful in their own way

No they're not.

if they're not totally attractive, they may have at least one feature that is

One feature would not make someone overall attractive so hardly a valid point.

thus no one can be called ugly not even fat people.

Entirely illogical and untrue.

I didn't say it make them overall attractive but it doesn't make them any less attractive ;l

And I think it's rather harsh calling anyone ugly people are beautiful in their own ways ;l

thin isn't necessarily beautiful. victoria beckham for instance, looks awful cos she's so skinny, she's just skin and bone. i'd rather go out with someone that was happy with themselves, that didn't feel the need to starve themself, as long as they're not fat haha.

It may well be harsh but that doesn't make it any less true - plenty of people are ugly. It'd be like me saying I have long legs therefore I'm not short.

You seem not to have a grasp on perspective. Someone being ugly is not a objective fact, it is a person's opinion. Just because you think someone is ugly doesn't mean I do, or anyone else does. Therefore most of your post is illogical and untrue.
