Women are really conscious about how they look. I came from a exclusive girls high school and I noticed that everyone (well, most) thinks that they are fat or they need to lose weight. But when you look at them, they are perfect. You can call it vanity but women wants to be perfect in all angles. I know some people who wants to lose some fats in their arms, some in their tummy, some in their thighs. Do you agree with this?

That's what really puzzled me about women. And that include married women. They seem to worry a lot about their bodies. I can understand single women to worry because they might be anxious at attracting good suitors. But for married women, who are they supposed to please when their husband tells them that "you're perfectly okay with me"!

sometimes, failed marriages start because women don't mind how they look. they take for granted their looks and in turn their husbands will feel that way too. that is when they might start looking at other girls who are prettier and sexier. being perfectly ok is not enough. You have to be the best and the ONLY one in your husband's eyes. Let's face it, men are mostly visual. If wives don't feed the visual hunger of their husbands, some other woman might.

I actually agree with that. I've heard people saying that even though a woman is married, she should still look her best so her husband would still choose her over anything else. It may sound sad but it happens.

hey pierrella..that's true..ask me, my colleague at office is perfect and she thinks she's fat and needs to lose weight..why? all because her boyfrined tells her she's fat. i'm sure he's just teasing her because he really can't be serious when she's not at all fat! and she actually diets to lose weight! why even bother about others and wat they say! i'm fat too but its a genuine thing..put in a few extra pounds in the last few years and these stubborn fat deposits in the wrong place just don't seem to go away. off course i'm to be blamed because i eat whatever i want to , when ever i want to. went to the gym to lose weight for a coupla months but discontinued as the gym fees were burning a hole in my pocket and also i couldn't wake up each morning to go to the gym!

Aww, maybe her boyfriend is just teasing her. Well, they gotta understand that women are vain and they gotta stop doing that. Lol! Instead of gym, walking is also a good exercise :) Just eat whatever you want. That way, you get to enjoy life!

i know..her boyfriend was probably just joking but she took what he said seriously. she's probably trying for a size zero figure. that's sad. people look so pathetic when they are that thin. i wouldn'tmind going for walks but the problem is waking up early each morning.and now that its summer, its just way too hot and gets bright and hot earlier than usual. nothing can come between me and food and it shows. i eat to my heart's content. after all, life's too short. so enjoy it while it lasts eh..

yes, I guess all of us look ourselves fat. Like we do know the required weight of waist line, chest line and even some parts of the body. I believe we do not think the importance of inner beauty. When we see someone thin, we checked ourselves already and we judge it according to what we see. It is not wrong to feel conscious about our physical appearance. If we see that we gain weight it is our decision if we want to get thin.But there are required weight, we do not have to be anorexic so that we will feel be are thin. some do look fat but they are healthy, they look fat because their muscles or bones are big. I don't know how to describe them. Most of us feel that we are fat and we do not look like models, there are nothing bad there. But if by looking fat makes us feel bad with ourselves then that is wrong. People will judge you at your back, but only you will tell who are you as a real person.

Many of friend feel like this, and complain about it all the time. If you see the truth they not fat at all, they slim and I am much bigger than them. I think television playing a big role in making people feel fat, TV in my country put star and co star who really skinny women, who from my point of view that really not healthy to be that skinny. Most teen take them as a row model and starve them self to loose weight. I am not slim but I feel that ok because women from my race tend to have body like mind, I will luck ugly if too slim.

Yes, media plays a very important role especially in our perception of looking good. That's why many people think they are not good looking because of the standards that media has set. It is just sad that this is happening. There are a lot of beautiful people out there but they feel insecure because they don't look like the people they see on tv.

hi there, for me, most women think they are fat becasue it is highly influenced by the fad and media. the models for clothes, drinks and a lot more are usually slender. so there's no way a woman cannot feel envy towards it..and sometimes get even insecure...whether fat or not, what's important is we are healthy , on our normal body mass index.

Women are more beauty cautious. So they will try out many ways inorder to keep them fit and trim. They dress in such a way that they are not seams to be obesed. It not only make them look good but also keep them away from any diseases as the base for any disease is gaining weight.

society is the main culprit here, wherein what they say is in it will be the standard of all fashion, beauty magazines also make you feel more uglier and fatter, it is nice to make yourself look good at times but it is what you make to feel good is so much better.looking so vain, filled with insecurity is not good at all.

Hi. That's quite natural. All women want themselves to be as perfect as possible. Just take a look at those popular models, you'll understand a slim figure is the vogue now. A slim figure stands for sexy, hot and attracting. No one wants to marry a fat women however beautiful she may be. That's why all women make great effort to perfect themselves. They go on a diet, go to the gym and stop eating everything high in calorie. But we shouldn't put blame on them, as i can quite understand them as a girl myself. They pursue beauty not for themselves but for men. They want to look perfect in their men's eyes.

Well, none of us are perfect. We all have our areas that need working on. I am almost 5 ft 7 and weigh 125 lbs. I am not a fat person but I do have flub that I exersise hoping to get rid of. I'm small but my flub complaints are legit. Still others comlain and they do have the most perfect little bodies. I don't understand. And then you see a woman weighing well over 200 pounds on the beach in a bikini. She just doesn't care and that is a good thing. I admire her self-confidence. I think it is good to want to be fit but women also need to accept themselves for who they are and realize that they don't need to fit into that cookie cutter image to be beautiful.

Sometimes, i also got paranoid because when i look in the mirror, it seems that i gained weight most of the time. But the reality I am so thin maybe i was just so vain in my self and i am afraid to get fat because my boyfriend will probably leave me.

I agree. Maybe women are just really conscious on how they look..

Yes, i think media plays a big role and peer pressure as well. We all want to look perfect or we simply want to look our best. Another factor might be being health conscious, health awareness is a big thing nowadays and people are becoming choosy of what they eat and are living a more active lifestyle.

I guess we just perceive ourselves differently. I know that I need to loose some weight because my doctor said that I am overweight. I don't feel comfortable in my own body and I guess that's why most women want to change their appearances but I won't go the lengths of having plastica surgery and changing everything by surgery. But yeah it seems that society has brainwashed women so that we want to look like perfect plastic barbie dolls.

Hi pierrella, For me, this is for me only, women is the only God creature that never satisfied especially when it is come to their look. They always want to be perfect and even when they are already perfect, they want it more and more. And I do not think a little bit fat here and there would make then less prettier then what they has now. As for me, I would be thankful if my future girlfriend and/or wife was a little fat here and there then the skinny bone one. It is okey if they want to loss some weight but just make sure I can feel something else if I hug her other then skin and bone. Girls .... you always pretty as what you are now even if other people say something else. They just jealous because you are prettier then them.

Very much, I agree all of this even its vanity. But I prefer to trim this in a natural way, not on artificial one.

Yeah,there are many these girls around me. Maybe girls are easier to get fat and hard to loose weight. So they tell themselves several times to let them on the alert of getting fat.LOL...

Yeah I believe in this. Women get conscious because the crowd dictates that a woman should have this shape and should measure like that and all. Women get easily conscious because they are more likely to desire approval. And women are more likely to believe that beauty will help her succeed.
