I for one would much rather have a real woman with flaws and individuality than the carbon copy cutout that the media are trying to push as "beautiful". P.S. don't worry lot's of us girls out here in the big bad world are into ladies with a bit of meat on the bone.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('3429','Ravenrois'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('3429','Ravenrois','It\'s totally true that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and often it\'s the things that we ourselves think are our flaws that others are attracted to.

Tall, short, big, small, a the end of the day it is irrelevant. If you're happy and are being yourself, living the life you want to live, people will feed off that and connect with you on different levels. I'm always amazed at the couples I see together...most couples I know, I'd never have paired up in a million years! This is because what's turns me on might be shit on a stick to you! You seem like a confident woman and there's nothing hotter than that! I've often been attracted to people who aren't classically pretty but there's just something about them...the way they talk, the way they carry themselves...just something. Everybody has that special oomph designed to draw in the right person so keep on working, writing and spreading your oomph!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('3428','Julie'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('3428','Julie','Beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder.

But, the phenomenon of thin women being perceived as particularly beautiful is a distinctly western cultural thing. In some of my travels, I certainly have found that it's women of size who are perceived as far more beautiful - they have shape, breasts, and are seen as fertile and sexy. In America, we're too ignorant to see that diversity can be beautiful, and we've been carefully crafted in our notions of beauty since youth. I grew up in the country...and I think that not having that exposure to media or pop culture really helped me feel good about my skinny-ass self. To be honest, though, I think that lesbians are far more accepting of women who don't fit the "mold," because they know what it's like to not be traditional....to not "fit" exactly. I'd choose you over my current mechanic anyday....it takes breasts to be yourself in a world where you can get crap for it...and in my opinion, that makes you one cool chick.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('3426','Jul'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('3426','Jul','I think all women have a place at the table.
