Who says you need to look like a stick to be pretty?

The other day, we were watching some celebrity news program and they cut to a clip a of Angelina Jolie. While I commented on her great figure, Jon told me that he didn't find her attractive. 'She's all bones. That does not look good on anyone'. Pardon me while I swoon! I don't know if he said it for my benefit, but it made me feel ok about the extra padding on my derriere, for a while at least.

The truth is, we get so caught up in ultra-skinny that we forget that you don't have to be a size 0 to be stunningly gorgeous. With the right wardrobe and make-up, you can look like a super model, even if your a plus size. For tips on dressing up your beautiful curves, check out this article and let me know of any tips you want to add.

Attraction isn't a choice. It's biologically inside your mind. but they have sweet spirits.

There's a difference between being skinny and fat. Just because being too skinny isn't attractive doesn't mean being a fat ass is attractive. There's a reason being fat doesn't feel good. Fat is ugly, unattractive, and unhealthy.

There is a difference between full-figured or curvaceous and being obese. Being overweight (according to insurance tables) by 10 to 20 pounds makes a woman more attractive to me, but being 40, 50, 60, or more pounds overweight is a real turn off!

I understand both sides of this arguement as I am thin and muscular and prefer myself that way but my daughter, mother and many of my friends are "Plus size women." What some people fail to realize is that some bigger women AND MEN try to diet, and exercise and don't "slim down" much at all. When my daughter dieted, eating salads 2 meals a day 5 days a week, she gained 5 pounds in a week. She has never been a big eater and has never been what someone might call petite. That doesn't mean she isn't beautiful. Some people say that I am "too skinny" not knowing that I weigh 145 and I am 5' 3" tall but alot of people comment on my weight as much as they do my daughters. I think we need to remember that everyone has something about them they wish was different, and people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
