The pressure on women, and little girls for that matter, is extremely relentless. Just watch tv or listen to the radio. There is bound to be a commercial for weight loss. It's a billion dollar business, because society dictates what a woman should look like. And as a result women are suffering more and more from eating disorders.

I hear ya Bill! I've seen the ads on tv that guarantee men "flat abs" and "tight butts". In my personal opinion, I could care less about abs or butts, or physical beauty.

That's true Bill. I have heard of some women needing it done because of severe back problems too. In my case, I have no problems at all with my back. Trying to find bras in a special size can be a problem. Hope your daughter is doing great. Helen >>> It is so. For better or worse, we're all hard wired to respond to >>> physical beauty, whether we like it or [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > with a desire for tall skinny women with black eyelids and blood red lips, > and pierced navels....... We are born to respond to physical beauty, and this has been proven time and time again. Last time I saw proof was on one of those Discovery shows where babies were shown pictures of different people, and did respond very differently. Sorry, but societal pressures do play a part, but we're hard-wired for the most part. > We are born to respond to physical beauty, The discussion is on sexual attractiveness, which may or may not have anything to do with 'physical beauty'. 'Physical beauty' is another word for vanity -- admittedly we are decidedly responsive to our own vanity. The observation that cultures have differing ideals of attractiveness and differing fetishes seems to indicate the object of attraction is learned. I doubt there is a gene that causes sexual engorgement at the sight of high-heeled pumps or the "Fabulous, simply fabulous, darling, EOS 20D". > babies were shown pictures of different people, and did respond very > differently. I didn't know that babies had a libidinous attraction to much of anything. But that and Freud aside: Wasn't the infant really responding to "Does it or does it not look like Mum"? How does a baby who's mother keeps a set of Corelle dishes in her lips react to the model on the cover of Cosmo? And vice-versa?

Sorry, but societal pressures do play a part, but we're > hard-wired for the most part. Well, sure.....But the question is, "What's physically beautiful?" And this is conditioned by the current societal norms, as dictated (today) by the TV and Madison Avenue.......Obviously, what was physically beautiful to the Ubangi in 1920 is a far cry from what is considered beautiful by a US 16 year old in 2006........ > I think the popular culture....(i.e.: the cosmetics and fashion > industry) has a lot to do with that, "hard wiring".......I don't > believe we are born with a desire for tall skinny women with black > eyelids and blood red lips, and pierced navels....... Life provided a good lession in this. Back when, the desirable wife in central regions of Africa was Rubinesque shall we say. Western media changed this, and in the 70s and early 80s men looked for slimmer, well, skinny brides. Then a new factor, called colloquialy `slims' emerged and fat was very desirable again. The fat women probably did not have `slims', aka AIDS. SignaturePaul Repacholi 1 Crescent Rd., +61 (08) 9257-1001 Kalamunda.

You're right, but when she gets in her 30s, and people of both sexes start to figure exactly how shallow that really is, the tables begin to turn. At least enough to make it more of an even playing field. > When she's in her twenties her competition to breed will be the gal to > her right. Females don't compete to _breed_, they hang out and reject the males that don't come up to snuff. As we all know, it isn't hard to attract a male if he doesn't have to hang around 'till morning.

If a woman has only the goal of "getting laid", she can walk into pretty much any bar, and find somebody willing to oblige her.

Overeating is often an emotional crutch, so many people who are fat have low self esteem, so they eat more... Suburbia is a lot to blame. People rarely walk to the stores, work or play. But there's lot's of time to eat a lot of carbs... Europeans don't have as much suburban sprawl as we do; people walk more and eat less and esp. less carbs. Cheap energy = cheap food. Guess which of the above will be disappearing soon? Both. Cheers, Alan.
