I'm still waiting for that smidgeon of proof backing up this statement that you made:

"Millions of girls suffer from eating disorders and depression because the media bombards them with these images of what they should look like."

I seriously doubt that images of thin women in the media cause eating disorders, which seem to be a very deep developmental problem (ie one that starts very early in life), and thus very difficult to treat. I would agree that thin vogue allows a degree of cover to anorexic / bulemic girls, but I don't think that it is the root cause.

I have heard statements similar to yours many times in the past, and often from the same people who claim that there is a huge increase in domestic violence on Superbowl Sunday. The latter claim was proven to be demonstrably false, even though it was oft repeated and became the common wisdom for a decade. You wouldn't take the pronouncements of other political groups at face value, why give feminists the benefit of the doubt in this case?

i dont care about their race, i dont care about their attitude.

Sorry, Dissident. Perhaps your posts were just loosely or poorly expressed and I'm being too hard on you. They seemed a little ugly to me, but harmless enough if you were just tossing ideas and observations out there.

You know better than anyone else whether your attitude is ok, so I'll stop being so critical.

Typical EIF. One cryptic comment, and then he disappears.

Anyway, this thread is completely jacked, but here's my opinion on the first post:

A girl you know and like will seem more attractive than an otherwise equally attractive girl whom you don't know. So I'm saying that if you switched the body of one of the models with the body of one of the girls you know that you think is hotter, you would still think that the girl you know (now with the model's body) was hotter than the one on the show. It's probably in our genes so that we actually go **** people we know instead of jacking off to models.

I like women. I don't mind if they are black, white, yellow, brown, red or even purple. You can find a lot of differences in women from various races. It is a matter of how attractive that particular woman is.

Dead women are purple. You like dead women

I can't say I like purple women. Although I haven't met one so I really can't tell for sure. Note: I have nothing against purple women

I really do like women of all colours.

Describing personalities can get you in trouble (as I know). Because even within 1 race ther can be many different variations of personality. Not to mention every person is unique in some way- even if it doesn't seem that way at first glance. I was wrong to use the word stereotype, because you really can't do that. People are from different countries and different regions.

Anyways that was was a serious threadjack. Well the past 3 or 4 pages have been way off subject. What was the subject again?

Beautry contest. I do find them disturbing. But they aren't the most harmful thing for girls. My best friend when I was little was a girl. She entered a beauty contest once. They said she was too fat. She wasn't fat at all! Although I must admit she is fat today. Maybe they knew how she would turn out . I can't say how much that may have affected her. I grew apart from her at this point (we were just kids and she lived on the other side of town).

But you can't deny that many if not most men are very visual. One big reason we enjoy porn so much . And we like women who are visually appealing. But of course that is not everything. There are certain women I could not spend my life with no matter how attractive.
