but uhm, love handles are cute. they give people something to hold onto.
plus they keep your pants up if you're a guy or a girl with narrow hips (i
came damn close once during one of my thin periods where i almost lost my
pants at the circle k. not fun. started wearing belts after that...)

the expanse of media has skewed people's perceptions of beauty. when there
was only art, a bigger woman was considered more feminine and desireable.
now it's calista-fuck-like-a-stick-flockhart and her ilk that are ruining
things for people who like a good steak for dinner and a padded woman for
dessert.

agreed, and that goes on the man side of things too. skinny guys (anything
below 200lbs, approximately) just kick my feeding urge into high gear. i
somehow have it in my head that they're malnourished and not taken care of
properly.
