Thanks Swank!

It's true, we do forget that we are beautiful no matter what shape or size. I think that if someone was truly interested in me, then my size shouldn't matter. I also believe it's important to look you're best no matter what and to be confident.

As for online dating, it is more of a comfort zone. You can have a conversation with a perfect stranger with out ever looking them in the eye.

I have *no* idea why we buy those magazines. I guess from a sense of "somebody" knows what's cool, and we want to know, too. So you take an insecure woman, who buys the magazine, that makes her even more insecure.

Great marketing strategy, sucky life strategy. I'm cool, regardless what the magazines say. If you disagree, don't hang out with me.

I do sometimes wonder what the "30 ways to drive him wild in bed" might have, but not enough to look.

It's not that the magazine overtly tells us we're ugly- it's a subtext. They show models, and if the models are beautiful, and we don't look like that, by logic we must be ugly. It just works on a subconscious level which makes it all the more dangerous, and hard to see.
