I've often sa...Here's my male perspective.<br /><br />I've often said to MY WIFE that women are their own worst enemies. Some men can be tremendously callous and insensitive when it comes to commenting on physical things, but women rip each other new ones in ways most men wouldn't even imagine. It's not men (at least, not STRAIGHT men) who host all the shows voting on whose way of dressing was the most hideous at any given awards show or whatever.<br /><br />Most women should keep in mind that most men like most women. And also that real men like real women. We like curves, for the most part. A little bit more, here or there, isn't a big deterrent for us. And we much more appreciate a woman who is confident than a woman who is always begging for acceptance.<br /><br />We also feel somehow cheated if we find out that what's been advertised is not what is actually there. For instance, a padded bra may be good bait, but whatever you hook with that bait will likely not be thrilled to find out that it WAS just bait. The same goes for most add-ons.<br /><br />Just my two cents (probably worth a bit less when inflation is taken into account.)Suldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778845367184916684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080647999171945249.post-81065682794281378052014-06-01T09:58:09.905-07:002014-06-01T09:58:09.905-07:00Jann you're so right about getting older and n...Jann you're so right about getting older and not caring what others think - and it's the only reason I <i>do</i> workout. It isn't about proving anything to anyone, it's about getting myself healthy again. I used to be an athlete, thin framed, comfortable sprinting up the stairs. All that's gone now and it doesn't make me happy. I like feeling stronger and exercise also elevates my mood. I work on my body for no one but me.<br /><br />So...I'm a bad bloggy friend Chris, I checked your blog a long, long time ago & it was either private or taken down or something and I've been MIA ever since. But anyway...yeah I just don't get why women try to tear each other down. And let me say right now that's not my intention of this post because the original blogger has every right to her opinion. I just think it sucks that her opinion has to be motivated by hate. My friend, summer is an understatement (already into the 100+ degree days & no signs of slowing down! Hooray for central air!) It's really, really awesome to hear from you, I miss chatting :-)<br /><br />Yes Launna that's it exactly! Loving ourselves will help us to love each other more. I'm out of shape and not thrilled with that but that can't justify being mean to someone who <i>is</i> in shape, right?<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and saying hi everyone! I miss you all!Jenn Flynn-Shonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441834864191292424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080647999171945249.post-7569699063144105292014-05-31T15:46:09.036-07:002014-05-31T15:46:09.036-07:00I agree Jenn, I really think women need to stop pi...I agree Jenn, I really think women need to stop pitting ourselves against each other... we need to unite and love ourselves.. great post girl. <br /><br />Good to see you back today :) Launna https://www.blogger.com/profile/09447311902825477772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080647999171945249.post-52721532057660338442014-05-31T08:07:54.050-07:002014-05-31T08:07:54.050-07:00Jenn! Hey there stranger! Wow you've been supe...Jenn! Hey there stranger! Wow you've been super busy haven't you? Hope your writing ventures have been successful.<br /><br />You bring up some great points, about body image and the difficulty of being a model, and a whole bunch of other things. <br /><br />I used to know two Tumblr girls that were really into fitness/working out and one was petite and adorable and had a firm/toned body but was not what you'd call a 'ten'. The other was stunningly beautiful - tall, tan, curvy and had a physique any woman would die for. Guess which one got more hate? <br /><br />I think that women are often too clouded by jealousy to look in the mirror. Men get jealous too, but women seem to be unapologetically vocal about it. Whatever happened to 'sisters' supporting each other? <br /><br />Loved this rant. Glad to see your back posting here. Hope you're having a great summer. (what am I saying, it's always summer in Arizona!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080647999171945249.post-5719809226410517822014-05-30T22:26:08.287-07:002014-05-30T22:26:08.287-07:00Stationary bike?

I only have to please myself.#1Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04214011945298439939noreply@blogger.com
