To start I have an Internet buddy Tahoehunter which I quoted in the original version, if you wish to read his beautiful word towards woman please review hub 02/08/09 same title as this one. It will be worth it. Repeating, my friend has received much criticism by men and for his views on how woman should be treatedand I applaud him. He is a very big muscular man and it would be easy for him to act as many men do yet he is MAN enough not to.

Now I would like to add by saying it is not all the fault of men but the media too, which happens to be run mostly by men. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!! Puts us right back at men. Guess I must recant the previous and stick with it is the men's fault after all. Ladies of size, meaning all but the perfect forms, are the majority.

Bearing children really takes its toll and raising them too. Few are so fortunate as to have private personal trainer's and chef's. As my friend so eloquently puts it, "Those imperfections are what make people special."  It crawls right under my skin whe I hear woman saying they HAVE to lose 5 pounds.  When did you hear a man go crazy and starve himself for 5 pounds.  Stop it!!!!

Men are accepted in any shape and or form. They can be huge and they are called teddy bears, so cuddly. They can be major stars big, small and all in between. Do commercials, have the cute sexy girl and there is no problem. Let a woman have the least fault and she cannot be an anchor woman, movie star or have the gorgeous guy and if she does there are stares and comments. Please look at many of the male anchor men: heavy, balding, receding hairlines, moles, ugly, etc. Do you see any woman in spotlight positions permitted to be humans that are good at what they do? We must always be so much more. Great at the job and an eye catcher but according to their standards and not reality. We are eye catchers as we are for real, if you the media men would stop trying to turn the world against us.

Woman stop giving in to this. be proud of the baby stretch mark, or the pot belly or big thighs. These are what make you you and what make you beautiful if you realize it. Take a non-negative not the media's eye look at yourself and see the beauty you possess and flaunt it and carry your head high like you know your pretty or beautiful or sexy. Do not act it but project it.

When I go out I get followed around in stores, asked for my number, invited to lunch or dinner all the time. Not just by men of my age either and always by good looking and many quite muscular tall men. The real men in the world not the media are as varied in taste as we ladies and there is an abundance that love the true beauty of a natural and well kept woman. That is it, not your size or shape but how you keep and carry yourself. So look out world because we are not falling for it any more.
