Yes you are. You're being an donkey-cave by effectively insinuating that everyone who criticizes them is fat.

The women on the bottom are painful to look at, just as much as the one on the top image.

Fair enough on the first point, I can concede that might piss people off and Ill wind my neck in.

As for the second one... I'm going to have to whip this out.

People in good shape generally look after themselves because they want to look good. Call it shallow if you like, but it takes work and determination to get your ass to the gym 6 days a week and lay off the cakes.

I don't know, I actually like working out. Though running is, at this point, only pleasant because I can enjoy the Mag Mile at night, which is a pretty cool view.

Though it is pretty awesome to see that occasional cute girl give you the once over, even if you're not interested.

People trying to play the xylophone with your ribs like in old cartoons?

Exposed ribs are easy to push in when you play contact sports, and pushing them in means constricted breathing or a torn diaphragm.

That's not nearly as funny, so I'm going to stick with mine.

I think we need to come up with a MInecraft Number. Which is the minimum number of clicks it takes to get from any given video to a minecraft video.

That skeleton video is a One.

Hell I've had ribs showing the majority of my life and it wasn't because I wasn't eating properly, just that I'm ectomorph. I lose muscle mass while sleeping, damnit.

At 5'9 195 I have ribs showing. I've had them since 5'9 230, and it has actually been problematic.

I'm taller and lighter than you yet my ribs don't show, how is that even possible?

Now now, I think we've all watched Meet The Medic, we really don't need to answer that question and we just need to ask, is it the megababoon heart, or something else?

Both groups are painful to look at and while the bottom group is overweight, they aren't excessively fat in proportion to the top group's skinniness.

For whatever reason though it's trendy to proclaim overweight women are "real women" and everyone else is an anorexic freak. I guess lacking the discipline to eat somewhat healthy and exercise is commendable.

I'm just of the opinion that, as many of us here fall in to the category of being obese, massively obese, ridiculously skinny and weedy, fantasists (and borderline fantasists), social misfits/rejects, chronic virgins, conspiracy theorists, nazi viking fixaters, black/tech/symphonic metal fans, plastic paddies, emotionally and/or physically underdeveloped teens, being severely acne'd, having delusions of grandeur or an atrociously hairy back (not looking at anyone in particular, Matty ), not to mention having a hobby that is only slightly more socially acceptable than collecting child pornography, we should probably not be so quick to point fingers at people and go 'ugh, fatties!' or 'ugh, anorexic!'.

Just my 2p.

Having been to a gaming convention or two, I'd have to agree that pointing out that some of the people in here talking smack about VS models might be overweight is simply playing the odds.

Personally, I fall in to the category of advanced biological AI, myself.

The I is debatable

Symphonic metal fan, delusions of grandeur, possible atrocious hairy back.

I gotta say, if I was forced to choose between living with ONLY the VS models or ONLY the Dove chicks, I'd go with the Dove ones. Sure, some of them are a little too chubby (not fat), but they look friendly, whereas the VS models looks cold and cavalier.

However, the above statement is based on looks alone, which is not a good way of judging someone. Some of the most friendly, fun, and just plain cool women I know are, or used to be, equally or more skinny than the VS models. The same goes for the Dove models. And I have known plenty of women who are beautiful but idiotic/rude/vicious. And the VS/Dove pictures don't represent the middle-ground or athletic women.

In the end, and given enough time, it is possible to find anyone attractive based solely on their personality and not their physical appeal.

I'd go along with that. I genuinely believe personality is more important - I've been out with (well, slept with) very physically attractive girls who were dull as dishwater, or else totally psychotic. Of course, they're not all like that, in fact most of them aren't, but I find a good personality sexier than the physical side, definitely.

My lower ribs are "pointy", to borrow a phrase from an ex.

I've said that its a matter of "thresholds" or "degrees."

You need to be cute enough, and be interesting enough (in combination), but not necessarily superfluous in either sense.

See, I can only deal with a deficit in looks. I can't deal with boring people at all, ugly or beautiful, to an almost pathological degree. I've literally started banging my head on the table in frustration when trapped in conversation with a boring person before now. I guess it's my condition. It probably goes some way towards explaining my behaviour on these boards sometimes.

Wow. I think I just had a breakthrough.

I liked the weightlifter... just sayin'

I think there are two types of men.


Those that liked the Weightlifter and liars.

Hell I'm gay and I think the weightlifter is sexy

I prefer the first one, simply because they are photomodels and have plastic surgery for over 15 times. So they deserve kudos for that.

People's sexual preferences do vary, you know. There isn't something wrong with you if you fap to different women than I do. I'm sure there are some guys with fetishes for morbidly obese women, some guys with fetishes for dead women, some guys with fetishes for dangerously underweight women and some guys with fetishes for one legged women, and there's nothing wrong with that (even if it sounds kinda weird). As long as whatever they're doing is consensual, I don't flip out at them for having different tastes than I do.

Asian girlfriend? Check.

Nerd glasses? Check

Hours of free time to sit outside of cafe and look "artsy" and disinterested with life? Check.

etc.

A mixture, the top looks rather thin and some on the bottom are rather fat.
If you find someone in that middle section there's the best group of women, which are the average in this society.
