I'd much rather have a girl with a toned, slightly larger build (due to muscle and a bit of healthy fat!) than some anemic looking twig! Shit, I'd be afraid to thrust too hard, you could crack some ribs!

Courtney Cox-Arquette has done the same shit to herself, you can see the damn bones in her chest (breast bone)...

So girls, don't think that "skinny" is what guys want! At least not any guys I've ever talked to!!!

Sorry about the typos, it is hard to type with huge arms.

And as for fitness competitors/bb's - steroid use is any "less healthy" for men? ALL COMPETITORS DO NOT: USE drugs (I'm NOT talking pros or national level here), have implants (non-fitness competitors get them too), have lipo (BIG FAT chicks get it done too).

What I am trying to do is raise a little awareness here.

I am NOT SAYING that all people will find a woman who has 17" arms appealing or that it is particularly healthy for that matter (I don't have the knowledge to make a statement either pro or con). A woman with arms that big is the extreme.....as is a woman who is so gaunt that you can see her ENITRE pelvic girdle from behind! I don't need a degree to know that when ANYONE so obviously deprives their body of nourishment that they will end of DEAD sooner or later. How ANYONE can find this physical result of such obviously unhealthy behaviour appealing is beyond me.

Tell me, if you knew the woman you loved was living on less than 1000 calories p/day, exercising obsessively, and/or throwing up WHATEVER she ate to achieve this look, would you still find it so appealing? Please be honest in your response.

I did see Austin Powers, and I do vaguely recall the woman who played "Felicity Shagwell" (I believe) was slender, but I don't remember EXACTLY what she looked like. Could someone post a pic, please? I don't remember thinking, "Feed that girl" so I can't voice my opinion either way.

As for how do I KNOW these women are anorexic? YOU KNOW IT TOO, "eat like a bird?" Are we talking -1,000 calories/day? Hello! Maintainence for a woman 5'3" (my height) is about 2,200. So you tell me! Yes, "eats like a bird" = starvation. PUHLEASE! You know it, I know it....WE ALL KNOW IT. It seems that I am one of the few people who has the balls to say it!

I realize that not all men will find chicks with a six pack appealing and that is fine. Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. But I do find it nearly APPAULING that a man would find a woman who STARVES herself attractive, whether we are talking cocaine, cigarettes, diet pills, binge/purge - whatever - it is ALL harmful and I find it difficult to believe that ANY man would want the woman that he loves to engage in such behaviour just to attain and/or maintain a negative clothing size.

I shudder to think what you guys think about competitive bb's (I'm not talking pro level here...I'm talking local level, well within the realm of natural) when they are bulking!

You know what, nevermind. It doesn't matter to me either way. I am comfortable in my own skin whether I am 10%, 16%, or 20% 'cause either way I have NO TROUBLE turning the young boys heads at the pool so it is all good.

I just want you guys who might not understand what a woman has to do in order to get that skinny and stay that skinny. Yes, there is a very small percentage of women who have superfast metabolisms, can eat whatever they want and NEVER gain a pound......until they get a little older or have a baby or two, then they have lowered their metabolisms so much because they have robbed their bodies of so much lean mass because of having starved their bodies for sooooooo long that the end result is usually a looooooooooooong way from the clothing size they had when they were seventeen. Something for you guys to ponder.

I'm just hoping that if I reach a few people who don't realize HOW this look is achieved (just as many young kids who pick up an issue of Flex or Muscle Mag or any other muscle publication don't realize HOW MUCH juice the big boys take to achieve their "natutral look") perhaps social trends may change and this behavior will stop being perpetuated.

Perhaps if you guys truly understood the reality and the ugliness that is a vital part of this "beauty myth" you would begin to look at it from another perspective.

either way, that ally mcbeal chick IS skinny, its too bad she dropped but she brought it on herself. a low self image will drive her to perpetuate this too. look to see her either dead or secretly getting some "help" with her eating disorder. its a shame that a show thats so sexually oriented as that show has to have a twig as the centerpiece.

no thanks....ill stick to real women and not 30 something year old prepubescent kid shaped women.
peace.

1. Get Meatloaf to hold her down (not sit on her, we'd lose her)
2. Force feed her rump steak
3. Make her admit Lucy Liu is tastier than her
