twiggy was way skinny, seems to me that we hit a block. the “now” models have much more meat than she did. Don’t worry, i don’t think women will be able to get any skinnier, nor should they want to

I always like women with a figure and that means a healthy body and meat on their bones, but I value their intellect too. You can not have one without the other.

Women and men alike need to stop kidding themselves. Women, you do not look like Kim Kardashian. You are not “curvy” you are fat. Men, they do not like fat women, naturally. It is not “healthy”. What is not explained in this post is why women who were fat were seen as attractive years ago; because it was a status symbol, it showed you could afford to eat in excess. Being thin = being poor.
You’ll generally find the real reason men like “curvy” women is because they themselves have low self-esteem due to poor body image issues. People are attracted to others that look like themselves. Women support other women who are fat because they want to feel accepted. Men support fat women because they themselves are fat or feel they are not worthy of having a better looking woman for a variety of reasons.
The only reason you think someone like Twiggy never eats is because you gorge yourself constantly and now you’re body thinks it’s normal. I can guarantee that at a low, but healthy weight, you will still be eating as much as you want, just eating less before you are full.

“Some Guy”, so you’re generalizing the population by saying that all women are fat and all men have low self-esteem?
Maybe you should take a look at the statistics of anorexia and bulimia on the rise before you say anything else.
