When size matters

Its always interesting to read articles on 'size' in women's fashion magazines.
Simply because there will be two camps making their stand on the size debate - one fighting for the 'curvy' women's rights while the other advocating the fact that skinny is attractive.
And while talk shows are trying to help increase plus sized females level of confidence, magazines are subconsciously dragging women's self-esteem downright to size zero by making thin models grace their covers.

That should explain why our confident self may at times be tempted to look at the mirror, scrutinize every inch of our body and ask ourselves (and our partners) the controversial question in every relationship 'Am I fat?' 'Do I have enough bosom?' 'Am I too skinny?'

If the mere sight of the infamous headline on size debates may cause you to flinch, try reading men's opinions on 'Skinny or Curvy?'
Always trust men to make things better or in this case, worst for us.
Notice their smug smiles when they say 'I like women in tight dresses and everything seems to fall nicely on her curves' or 'I would never want to be seen hugging a pole' or 'I like one with full bosom and tiny waist' (get a Barbie then!).

Sure, size 36-24-36 will get any normal sane guy drooling but how many of us are blessed with a figure perceived as perfect in the eyes of our society?
And while we are so bottled up thinking of our imperfect figure and throwing daggers at every slim female that breeze past us, why not turn the tables around?

Men (thanks to their naturally higher ego) are slightly spared from this size debate.
Tubby men have no qualms that they can attract women as easily as their other fit male counterparts.
How come we can excuse our men for opting to be a couch potato because we love them yet when we show potential to turn into a sack, we imagine signs of men's 'I'm-not-into-you'?

But if ask to fess up 'Abs or tubs?', I bet we women will much prefer the first.
Truth is, men and women have issues when it comes to weight but it's women who gets more affected by the size talk.

So the next time, he pinches your little flabs adoringly and yet you feel its an indication of him telling you that you are putting on weight, get an honest answer from him - because we women are at times guilty of being oversensitive when it comes to our own body.

Curvy or slim. It boils down to preferences.
It's health that we should place more concern on.

Sexy is a state of mind. I'd say the same for thin.
