Why gals want to get Slim?????

as we know that slim and tall girls look quite good and their personality seems attractive so all(mostly) gals want to be slim.But i don't think that it is true.

simple to get attention of boys. And it is not only with the girls boys too want to look attractive the only difference is that they don't have to be size 0 to look good.

That is a very good question. I think being healthy is important and being a size zero, just like being vastly overweight, is not healthy. I think the media and the fashion industry must take a large part of the blame. Girls read magazines full of photos of skinny models, actresses WAGs or reality "stars", and the weight and size of these women is always being commented upon. Young girls look up to these women and want to be like them - have lots of money, be famous, have a footballer boyfriend etc and they think that the easiest way to do this is to loose weight. The media never talk about how intelligent these woman are, what they think, what qualifications they have. It is all about what they are wearing, how they look and how much weight they have lost/put on. Interestingly, if you ask the average man what they think, most of them will say that they prefer curvier women. I think you are right about health being more important than being glamorous, and I hope that young girls begin to realise this sooner rather than later.

Hello Neha, I do agree with your view. Girls want to get ultra slim.May be they think that the slimmer they become, the more desirable they would be. Hailing from Delhi, I have seen many girls, barely in their teens, starting off with a diet program. They need not become obese but then, I am totally against this "size zero" concept. I think this term came into existence after that movie "Tashan", in which Kareena Kapoor sported that two piece bikini that made waves everywhere here in India. Girls should eat healthy and should concentrate their efforts on something more productive.

I prefer health size, it's not really thin actually but it means your weight is enough at the health standard. The main factors why woman want to get slim is because of the image. Most of people in this world associate beauty and sexy girl with slim body. It is true that our outer look is important but not the most important. I want to ask some mens here, do you interested in ill woman with thin body? or healthy woman with standard body?

I too fail to comprehend as to for what reasons girls want to shed fat. One study has found that those people who are always on diet and do not eat as much as is necessary they develop a bone disease. Yes, I too like a girl with a little bit fat. It betters her looks too.

Blame it on the media for showing off bone-girls as sexy. Remember the time when they praised fat women instead? If you don't, look at the older paintings, they never painted slim women, they're into bulk! hehehe.. Being healthy is important rather than the waistline. Waistline is important for girls (or people) who have nothing left to be interesting about. hahahhaa..

to look sexy but some fat looks good because of the way the dress.not all sim looks sexy it depends the way they carry themself

girls like to loose wait because they want present them in a sexy way.

This is the funny trend that has sent all girls skinny. Butt that is a contradiction to the reality. Noe there is verdict from the UNESCO that no woman could violate the normal way of life.

yeah,as a girl,i do concerned about my body though i vaule healthy the most.Nowdays ,when one comments on another person ,especially a girl ,one barely fail to mention figure.It even seems that being slim equals being beautiful.There are always someone around you complaining about the figure and trying hard to lose weight.It's really not easy to feel comfortable or confident having a bit fat.i just hope more people will have the same idea with you

how are you neha ... i mean are you fat or slim.maybe girls are a bit on the fat side can answer this question better but the main thing could be to get attention from the guys because guys generally dont go for fat girls.secondly,girls with more fat have low self esteem and those who are not actually fat want to be skinny because of all the slim girls that are modelling in fashion shows..of course these are some reasons then there are eating disorders too but i am not too aware of them so cant comment about it

Hello neha, you are right. Fat is not bad for health, but about this question : why gals want t get slim? I think the most improtant reason is not health but beautiful, gals should like pretty much more health.

fat do harm to one's healthy.but too slim have the same influence on healthy. fat women must take proper exercise to lose weight,not only stay health but also keep a good figure.

girls want to be slim because fat girls don't attract guys. honestly, based on first looks, guys would normally prefer the slimmer girl. Yes, being healthy is important, but healthy is also based on each individual's perception.

Yes, I agree with you... Girls prefer being slim because it is a fashion. They feel guys prefer slim girls. I was attending a conference on " violence against women" The resource person mentioned that this is also a part of violence against women. Girls are going to beauty parlours and slim centers to look good and slim and while doing so they are hurting themselves by not eating well and other things. beauty lies in your confidence and attitude. so feel good and keep rocking...

They are crazy.They may think slim is beauty,so they see their body dont wish look a little fat .Between healthy and beauty ,they would rather choose beauty,I think.

for me, that's what their view of being sexy..for them to be attractive or to be noticed they tend to try being slim and sometimes doing so they do not notice that they are over doing things which cause them not just slim but too slim..which then becomes unhealthy

Just as you said, the most important thing is being healthy and feeling happy and content with yourself and your body. Of course, some people find skinny girls attractive, but if I were a guy I think I'd prefer girls with some meat on them. In my eyes, the most beautiful body is a bit chubby, but not fat. It should be soft and have curves. I understand that people value beauty, though. It's a part of human nature to like beautiful things (although the concept of beauty is different for everyone). Even though I can understand that looks matter for most people, one should never forget that a person with a nice personality but a plump (or skinny - not everyone like skinny people) body often is prefered over a "perfect" looking person who is downright mean or stupid. Feeling good about oneself shows through. The more you feel comfortable with and love your body, the more other people will respect and like it as well. And a healthy body is truly a beauty, because it shows that a person care about her/himself.
