I was chatting with a close friend of mine over this topic and we both agreed that a lot of men have unrealistic expectations of the women they're with. It's silly though...if you're really loving someone and who they are, that is so minor.
I loved what girldetective had to say about the object becoming more important than the living person (it makes sense and I'd never thought of it that way), and what mixedmedia said about how bodies "should" develop...great thoughts there.
My last boyfriend told me the fact that he felt I was "overweight" would eventually cause us to break up because it turned him off. I am 5'4" and currently weigh 113 lbs. Back then I weighed 123lbs. Twisted huh? *shrug* He messed with my head...but then, I let him.
At the end of the day, I just want to be with someone who's happy to be with me, flaws and all.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
