Well I have to say that Cheryl and Lacey look incredible!!!! They look like real women, you don’t have to be too skinny to be hot, real women have curves!!!! Latin women are famous because of the way we look, we have curves, is normal for us to see somebody that looks like Sofia Vergara or Salma Hayek, and Cheryl and Lacey look like REAL women….GOOO CHERYL AND LACEY!!!!!

I know that other people have said it, but seriously Mo, if you wanted to have handbags or tee-shirts or anything with that penis line, you would make a fortune. Someone should seriously make a design and talk to Glark or someone about it.

That is absolutely unacceptable. There is no such thing as an “ideal” and anyone who thinks there is wrong. I personally feel like anyone who finds the urge to pick on someone else has many of his/her own insecurities.

“Men and women do share a lot of the same scrutiny from society, but it’s not hard to see that a lot more of the focus and bias is placed on women than on men.”-Dips

In that industry I bet you are right. The audience is watching and they are using what they see to reach a conclusion but this is a microcosm compared to real life. Men are held up to scrutiny in different ways such as how much he makes, they type of work he does, ambition, does he like kids, etc. Women have needs and they have their wish lists just like men do. The main difference is despite both sides making demands; men are now the ones being judged as being bad or selfish for having theirs. The question of how much a person makes versus what their dress size is are hardly any different when it comes to personal needs. In case the original thought was lost, I still think these guys are whining hypocrites. Sort of like a carpenter blaming his hammer for a bad job.

April, on a second note, I agree that men do get a slightly upper hand with metabolisms but it’s not that high. This is why I personally feel men should be held to a higher standard for being lean since its unnatural biologically for men to be doughy soft bodies. For men, being fat is unhealthier per pound than it is for women.
However, look at many women that have kids and still manage to keep it off. They simply made healthy choices and exerted a little self discipline. They walk among you in short quantity (in the U.S) and larger quantity outside the states.

April, you don’t have to kill to look like them, you just have to do what they do and you will get most of those results. The problem with this is it is not for everyone. Those results require self discipline that is often too high a price for most to pay. This is why most people don’t look like them and thats understandable. Most people don’t want to exercise hardcore 3-4 hours a day while counting their calories. Be healthy and find what works for you and makes you comfortable in your own skin.

Alexandra Beller is one of many examples of a plus-sized dancer who is fantastic at what she does.

And she is gorgeous and curvy as well.

Man, where is a guy like Lacey’s brother Benji when you need him? He danced with the bgi and fabulous Donyelle in the show So You Think You Can Dance? and didn’t say a freakn’ word about her body…except for how beautiful she is and how amazingly she danced. Why can’t we have more guys like him than idiots like Maxim and Louis?

id kill to look like them, not to mention that if any of those men were women they’d luck to look like them too.

Men have no problem dictating what our bodies should look like but they don’t have to face a body with slower metabolism that automatically stores fat for child birth regardless of whether or not you are planning to conceive. Nature is a against women being thin, it makes a whole lot more work for us and it disgusts me when men (especially larger men because nature wants them to be thin thats htye get faster metabolism) comment on women’s bodies.

Dips, this site uses HTML rather than BBS code, so use pointy brackets instead of square ones and your code should come out fine.

Funnily enough, I read the article, got mad, and wrote a letter to TV Guide before I even checked my other websites. I don’t care if these guys claim to have been quoted out of context – their remarks were pretty hurtful regardless of context, and the article in and of itself was awful.
