So, a friend of mine added this picture to her facebook, it caused a bit of uproar and got me to thinking, does this picture produce a good image? Or does it give overweight and underweight people an excuse to be overweight and underweight?
How many times have you gone into your town centre and seen a very slim man with a curvacious woman? Well i have, plenty of times. This is because it's down to preference! This isn't an excuse to be unhealthy, but at the end of the day, if we all walked around as size 8's then when do you get to pick what you like? Some men like big bums (well i keep telling myself this, i need reassurance as mine is far from the small side!!!!!!) and some men like small boobs. Some women like thin men, and others like men that have lots of muscles. Its just something we like.
We always grow up to be taught how to like and dislike things, this is a big part of a childs life, learning likes and dislikes. Its huge in the developmental charts. (i should know, i work with children!) so why are people judged for their preferences? I know, we all do it. I've done it a million times before. But why, if anyone knows this please feel free to explain to me!
So for me, this picture isn't a bad thing, a man may look at this picture and see his wife or girlfriends body. Who cares as long as we're happy, as they say we only live once. Who wants to live doing something they dont want to do.
Stay safe, Be Happy, Take a risk
