Oh my lordy lord.

Some of you guys are the WHOLE reason why us women have such complexes over our bodies.

Ok, the girls not a stick nor your standard size 0 model but CHRIST. Some of the things being said is exactly the kind of thing I would expect to hear from a bunch of pubescent, thick skulled, idiotic school children.

What is wrong with you people?!!?!

Some of them are probably schoolchildren to be fair ;)

Yes, fine, we all have our own definition of attractive but does that grant us the right to go slagging off this girl, who I a) think is damn brave to do what she's doing when she has to contend with such dweebs as yourselves and b) you know NOTHING about. How on EARTH did someone come to the conclusion she's not a role model? Just because she's not a stick she's a bad influence?! I'm not being funny but if we are going to look at it like that - what about Dawn French? What a bloody fantastic woman we have there. You saying she's a poor role model too because she's obese? Rubbish.

Well she isn't a good role model to be fair, she is overweight and is carrying a large amount of body fat. This is promoting that it is acceptable to be fat and the already overweight, weak willed women will see this as vindication of their size and carry on eating more than they are burning off.

And before you start ranting at me that this is a beauty competition and thus not a good role model as it will make girls run out and stuff their faces with "Pasties" and things... you're mad. Never ever in this world will we see this happen - please do prove me wrong and by all means point me in the direction of any case studies of women eating themselves silly so they can get larger and therefore "more attractive". I imagine you will find yourselves a realm of anorexia studies on your quest.

We probably will find ourselves in a realm of anorexia as it is the same, just opposite ends of the spectrum. there are people who do eat to get larger, they're called feeders I think.

Oh yes, and coming back to comments like "pasty" muncher and thus... they are just not needed. For all you know she could be a bloody good healthy eater but nooooo. Just throw in the presumptions and insults and rip her apart like a pack of animals. Go on. No harm done in stuff like that is there?

By pasty muncher people probably mean she eats too much or unhealthy, which to be fair,(unless she has a medical condition) she probably does. To gain weight you have to have more calories going in than being used, and with her being fat that is exactly looks like what is happening, if she were exercising enough and eating a balanced diet she probably wouldn't look like she does.

Agreed on the insults they're a bit childish
 
I did see the second picture in the paper last week and I didn't think she was too bad.

But the first shot's going to give me nightmares. :(

I find skinny women unattractive, and I'd be afraid of breaking them. Size 14 seems to be my limit from experience with 12 being the basis of a perfect figure. All IMO ofcourse.

Too much effort reading the whole thread, she's fat, too fat, she's not pretty. Having little self control to keep body weight in check, or leading an overly sedentary lifestyle are both unhealthy and neither are characteristics a role model should have.

Yup. There are two things I don't like about people who are fat - 1] the fact that they look attractive to me and 2] - the lack of care and attention to get themselves in that state. Lethargy is an extremely unappealing thing and it's this that really turns me off.

Frankly I don't find many "super" models that hot, some sure, some not. The hottest woman i find are the dancer types who all tend to be a perfect size 8, athletic, the right curves and extremely healthy.

I dated a dancer once. She was very.. pliable.

Anyone that TRULY thinks a Miss World is a role model for their child, whatever size that Miss World is, is a crap parent and probably stupid. But also, anyone that thinks being overweight is healthy and fine is also, wrong. Get over it, men will always lust after the hottest women on the planet at least they admit it. Women pretend they don't do the same and constantly whinge that men do it.

Indeed. Miss World is not about being a role model. It's a beauty pagent, it's not a template for how every woman should be.

And yes, overweight is unhealthy - the terms has been coined for a reason. People who think otherwise are just duping themselves.

Ah but she's so brave. Surely she should win because she has so much courage.

pheebs, have you ever dated an obese, ugly man?

Not obese no.

Ugly yes. But probably not in the sense you would imagine - he was a model see, but he was also an alcoholic and thought it was fun to use me as a punch bag.

Why the question? I R confuddled :confused:
