Here, go ahead and read. Let both sides be fairly represented.
"A guy wrote this in his myspace and it should make u think..
I know way too many really beautiful girls who think they don't look good... It hurts... because it's our fault, guys I mean. We make girls feel like they have to be perfect. You know what I mean, flat stomach, big boobs, round booty, long legs, sexy lips, and on top of all that, they have to dress like a whore, and be one as well... nobody can measure up to that... and its not fair... because nobody should have to. The little imperfections are what make people special. If everyone was perfect the world would be so boring, variety is what makes life interesting. So guys, stop making girls have to live up to your, I'm sorry, our... deluded fantasy visions of perfection. Stop acting like boys and start being men... realize that women don't exist to fufill our sexual desires. Stop talking to them solely to get with them, be nice to them because you want to be their friend, not because you want to hook up with them. Say nice things about them not to flatter them in hopes that you'll get some, but because you know they like to hear them. In short... we need to grow up and stop acting like freakin retarded little boys
girls who agree repost.
and to the few guys who have balls and agree also repost"
First of all who are you, dude? I mean, RELAX. The pressure to be attractive is not solely a woman's plight. On the contrary, I believe that MALES, not FEMALES, have bigger demands made of them. Hear out my argument.
Yes, there is a certainly an image made of "the perfect woman" and how she should look and behave. Any one with a little bit of sense can see that this is not the way things really are or should be. The magazines may have size 0s spread through out their pages, but really, speaking from experience; most men don't like stick figures (with the exception of you, Armando. "Oh... I can't help it... she is so... SKINNY. *Bites lip*). Personally, it's just not my thing, no offense to those of you who are super slim. I'm just too big a fan of the booty, the hips, the thighs, and what not. This seems to be the new trend any way, the full figured female body. Really, it isn't like this is a new development. The ancient Greeks appreciated a finely sculpted and toned body. The ideal of the human body has constantly been changing from time to time and culture to culture. There has never been a universal standard of beauty and never has there been a society in which every single person fit that standard. As I said, THIS IS NOTHING NEW, SO STOP YOUR CRYING AND BE YOURSELF. No matter what you look like, some dude will love you, ladies. I'm being serious. Just don't expect Brad Pitt.
Back to what I was stating about men having the bigger shoes to fill... literally and figuratively speaking. I mean, if we don't "measure up", we can be made to feel worthless for the rest of our lives. If we are not successful in business, we are dead beats and failures. If we do not have a lot of money in the bank, we are scrubs. If we really like a girl, we are whipped and desperate. No wonder there are so many jerks. We have to be sensitive, but not sissys. We have to be masculine, but not meat heads. If we aren't hard bodied Greek gods, we are fat and disgusting. I mean, yes this is a bit extreme but I know many females who believe this very thing. I would be hard pressed to find anything more critical than a woman. We have to be handsome, smart, sensitive but masculine, funny, witty, strong, big in the pants and in the bank, and a god in bed.
Studies have been done which illustrate this fact so well. An average guy trying to pick up on a woman has a HUGE failure rate. I mean most of the time they can not get a woman to have an engaging conversation with them, let alone go home with them. On average, an outstanding number of males are far more accepting of the flaws a woman may possess than females are of any imperfection a male may possess.
The stereotype of the "perfect" guy is shoved in mankind’s collective face all the time, just as the “perfect” woman stereotype is pushed at women every where. Big whoop.
How about you relax and laugh at it?
We must realize that no matter how much one may appear so, no one is perfect. Yes, some people are blessed with great genes, or they worked hard for what they have and deserve the praise they earn, but that’s it. Life isn’t fair. So suck it up and stop demonizing genders.
Both males and females are pretty screwed up, in my opinion.
I’m not asking you to agree with me, but before you go ahead and rant about how the pressures of society are so unfair, just remember that EVERY ONE is a victim and your bitching does not help.
Cry baby.
Most sincerely,
Richard or Uno The Sexy Man Beast.
