Yes, you heard me, women are crazy. Do you know why they’re crazy? Because they allow the media to influence their self perception to the point of harming themselves and I just can’t take that anymore.
Ok, Gal has gone Crazy!
Yes, maybe I’m exaggerating a bit, but I just get so frustrated sometimes. Two days ago I read the following article:
NOTE: The picture in this article might be considered by some to be slightly not safe for work. Just want you to be aware of that. I have pasted the picture itself to the bottom of this article so you can scroll down if you want a peek at it.
I was awestruck by the incredible life this woman has had. For her entire life she’s bounced from diet to diet, struggling to fit some fantasy land ideal of what the perfect woman looks like. I just don’t understand this. I look at her picture at the beginning of this article and I see a beautiful, confident woman. I see someone who loves herself and her body and yet, most women who I’ve showed this to seem to think she’s still fat. This is crazy!
If At First You Don’t Succeed…
I wrote a guest post on Back In Skinny Jeans a while back where I talked about women and their body image. I said that I didn’t understand why women emphasized “skinny” so much. I was wrong in something I said and a lot of the comments on that post pointed out that mistake. I jumped on this “size zero” fad as wrong and by doing that I mistakenly assumed that people who might be naturally slender have a bad body image. I admit my mistake.
However, I will stand by my original opinion. Too many women allow their body image to be formed for the wrong reason. And yes, there are some men who do this too but it’s primarily women. Is there something wrong with being skinny? No. Is there something wrong with being unhappy with your body because you keep seeing magazines with some insanely thin supermodel on them? Yes, absolutely.
Know Your Audience
Women, let me let you in on a little secret. You’re fine just the way you are. We men are not such complicated creatures as you think. Most of us don’t notice if your butt is slightly large or if your breasts are small. Hell, most of the time we’re just happy that you let us see you naked! 
I’d much rather be with someone who’s body is not supermodel material but who loves herself and is confident in her looks than someone who constantly worries about other people’s perceptions. To me, the core of beauty is self confidence and there is nothing sexier than a woman who is comfortable with the way she looks and isn’t afraid to show it. Most of the men I know think the same way.
Sure, there are always a few assholes who want a trophy wife 40 years younger than they are, with a small ass, long blond hair and DD breasts, but that’s the exception, not the rule. And no, I don’t understand those men but I think they suffer from a lot of self-confidence issues.
I’m Doing My Best
I’m not a major magazine, nor am I the casting director for TV Shows and movies or the editor of the latest Victoria’s Secret catalog. I have no way of stopping these people from continuing to encourage young women to strive for unrealistic bodies at the expense of their health. However, maybe I can do my little bit with this article.
That woman in the picture, she’s absolutely beautiful. She gorgeous and she’s sexy and she’s very attractive. There is absolutely nothing wrong with her and she just radiates the kind of sexy self confidence that I find amazingly beautiful.

There’s nothing wrong with wanting to be healthy. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to exercise and have a more fit body. Just make sure that you’re doing it for the right reasons. If you’re ever in doubt, check out this woman’s smile. That smile is worth a dozen Victoria’s Secret models. No amount of exercise or cabbage soup diets will produce that smile, it comes from deep inside.
