Body image

chubby womanAre you realistic about what to expect your date’s body to look like? If you’re 20 years old, maybe you’ll find someone with a perfect body, but if you’re older, you need to be aware that life impacts almost everyone’s body.

Consider these facts:

The average American woman is 5’4” tall and weighs 140 pounds.

The average American model is 5’11” tall and weighs 117 pounds.

Most fashion models are thinner than 98% of American women.

If you’re considering dating a 36 year old woman who’s had 2 or 3 children, her body is not going to be perfect. She might have stretch marks on her abdomen or breasts, her tummy might not (probably won’t be) taut and by this year she’ll start having a few crow’s feet around her eyes. Does that diminish her attractiveness? Not one bit, I say. It means that she’s lived. She’s had experiences to talk about and rejoice about. Her life up to this point creates character in her body.

So if you’re seriously looking for someone kind, sexy and loving in your life, disregard perfection on the outside and look for it inside. It’s the inside person that’s going to make you happy in and out of the bedroom.

    Great points, but what makes you think this is a one-way problem?

    Hi A guy,

    You are absolutely right and I should have considered men as well when I wrote that. However, men don’t have the same pressures as women I don’t think. When men age, they get distinguished and women get old and wrinkly. Male models in print and on the runway are not wafer thin.

    Looking at this point from a perspective of height, there is a corresponding issue for men. Short men experience the same discrimination that fat women do.

    Thanks for taking me to task!

    I must admit, my mirror in the bathroom is actually stained with toothpaste smears. I only clean the mirror if I have time, mostly I don’t have :(
