This thread is inspired by "The Beautiful People...Huh?" thread.
There have been a lot of threads, like that one, posted about body image issues. Most of the people that respond seem to be the "un-6's" as Mrs. NIC said. Where are the 6's? I know you're out there.
I am a size 6 myself, but a soft, curvy 6, not a toned, hard-bodied 6 that I'd like to be. I have the same body image issues as many of the un-6's. I worry too that people that are in better shape than me won't be interested. I dress well and get a lot of looks in vanilla places, such an ego boost!
Not to brag but I got checked out no less than 10 times at the local Walmart the other day.
I love it when men look when they are with the wife/GF. I was with hubby at the time. He thinks its funny when he catches a guy looking and the guy quickly looks away. If he only knew!
Anyway, I'm rambling. The point is this.....we all have body image issues. Some people think they are too short, too tall, too fat, too skinny, too tan, too pale, too many stretchmarks, cellulite, boobs are too big, too small, etc. There are an equal number of people that find those things sexy, ok maybe not the stretchmarks and cellulite but those can be overlooked.
No one is going to be everyone's fantasy. I, personally, don't find body builder, Arnold-type guys sexy. They are many women's fantasies but I like my men a little thinner, fit but not overly-so. Its just a preference not a judgement. I would not shun such a man, I just probably wouldn't be turned-on by him, although a great personality might change my mind. Can't really say what I like in a woman since I haven't gone there yet, anyone willing to help me with that?
Anyway, we 6's are people too! We are like all of you un-6's, real with insecurities. Give us a chance.
