A friend of mine brought up a interesting discussion last night. I am black or african american and she is white or caucasian. In my community there are mostly all blacks and hispanics. These men/women usually prefer "thick" or "curvy" women vs "skinny" or "thin" women. She says in her community mostly white, asian and indian prefer their women to be "thin" or "skinny". They look at "curvy" women as too heavy or not as attractive. Since I don't have many friends other than blacks, hispanics and a few white friends I thought I would bring this topic to Eden to get you opinions.
Do you feel these assumptions tend to be accurate or are they just special cases? Do you experience they same things in your community?
Me personnally I'm annoyed that because I'm not "thick" amd that I'm 5'3" 105 lbs I'm not most guys type here in Atlanta where I live. I don't desire to be either but I can see how some women may want to be "thick" or "curvy" in order to appeal to more people.
My friend thinks she has to be "thin" or "skinny" to be accepted and found attractive by guys in her area. She is also in Atlanta so I thought it was odd how different our areas are although we are in the same city. She tries to remain slender and sometimes resents women who are thin by nature but I don't resent women whom are curvy by nature. To me as long as you are healthy whether thin or curvy there is nothing negative about it. Everyone is made a certain way so how come society reacts so differently to weight and body types?
I would love to hear from other races as well.
