Why are women so conscious of their figure?

to the point that they take offense when they are told they're fat.Why are women so conscious of their figure?
I don't know. Personally, I think big women are hot. And trust me, I'm not the only one who feels this way. I'm bi and I have a way bigger problem with fat guys. Curves and chubbiness is feminine. Also, I don't see women getting too aroused by fat guys.... Being fat isn't worse for women than men.





Women are the ones who find thinness attractive. Men take what they can get - no matter how much they claim to ';prefer'; slender women. BTW, gay guys are ';usually'; way more attractive than the average straight man. I can't imagine being a woman and wanting to lose weight - just so some less attractive straight guy would find me pretty....





Kris W - That's a really BAD analogy.Why are women so conscious of their figure?
Because the media and society in general make women (and all people, as well... But especially women) feel the need to look ';beautiful'; (whatever that means). Now the size zero fad is in, but it will fade like most fads do. I think that all people are beautiful regardless of size, race, gender,ect. People shouldn't change themselves to fit into what society thinks is beautiful at the moment.
because everywhere you look in the media, the fad is to be a size zero. and quite frankly a size zero woman doesn't happen very often. even the manikins you see when you go to the stores are tiny. its kind of like monkey see monkey do. they see everyone in the media and the magazines and the tv shows skinny then them and they want to be that way as well. when really a little curvature is usually more attractive then none.
Because women are judged by their looks much more than men are, and this makes them more sensitive about their appearance. And while slimness for women has been the ideal for most periods of history, today's somewhat obsessive interest in thinness means that women are likely to worry about their size.
That isn't being conscious. That is feeling insulted. It would happen in most circumstances where you are not complimenting someone really.


Your hair is bad, you can't draw, you have bad clothes. None of this is taken well by men or women. I hope you are good at dodging punches and/or heavy handbags

because of the media and pressures of society etc.


and regardless of what actual size the woman is, do you really think being called fat is complimentary?!
Because they're frustrated and bitter about it and because they know you're telling the truth.And the truth isn't pretty all the time.
I think it's the same kind of thing as when women tell you that you have a small penis. And you know how that feels, right?
Women are conscious of their figures because men are conscious of women's figures.
Because figure conscious women hate being told they are fat? This is not hard to figure out.
they aren't.Women eat too much when they're pregnant and starve to death the rest of the time.
That is only SOME woman.
Because men judge women on the basis of there personality and looks.





Women tend to judge men on the basis of our financial capabilities and personalities to some degree.





Think about it. Unemployed men are often just as touchy over the fact that there unemployed as obese women are over being fat.
