Body image in this current day and age is becoming more and more strict. The youth of today would not even take a second look at a member of the opposite sex unless he/she resembled the stereotypical supermodel "image" they associate with real life. Most do not even speak to the "ugly" individual. Well, I hate to say it, but image is probably the VERY LAST thing one would have to look at to find a DECENT partner. The old saying "its what is on the inside that counts" is SO true! Young girls these days starve themselves whip-thin in an effort to remain attractive to the guys, not knowing the possible damage they could be doing to their bodies. NEWSFLASH! Bodies come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. To tell you the truth, i find most thin women unattractive, as they seem to be obsessed with body image. I am in a relationship with a woman 1 year my junior, who isnt exactly what people these days call "attractive". But i know her, we were friends before we got serious, she has a GREAT mind, she is kind and sensitive. Basically what i am saying is - why must people be so blind? Why must they subscribe to a select stereotype? Why must they judge by look only? There are SO many women out there who are lonely because a lot of guys are just plain blind, not to mention stuck up. If i have offended anyone who thinks that being unhealthily thin is beautiful, tough luck, grow up and realise that its NOT all about the image
