I agree it would be really nice if we could all feel self confident, and happy with our bodies. To love each other for who we are as people. Its just not the way it is.
I remember leaving work one day, feeling rather up beat that day, I had been on a diet (well most of my life) and had dropped some weight so all was well with my world until I pulled up to a stop light to have one of the guys in the next car look over at me and say "What a freakin fat ugly beeatch". Needless to say I went from feeling good to totally sad in just a second. That was about 25 years ago and its still as clear today as when it happened. I'm sure that person was very ugly inside, I feel sorry for him now, but inner beauty is just not what people see first. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Wouldnt it be nice if people would just try to find that one exceptional quality on a person and point that out?

WHAT'S THAT???

HEY, SUZANNE WHY NOT YOU SEND WRITE AT ME THAT MY AUTOGRAPH FOR SUZANNE THAT ME MY PICTURE

I'm a father of two, I find that video very
offensive, as a matter of fact my oldest daughter looks like the girl in that ad. I think that Dove have nerdy ad men who are not
capable of speaking to women, so you are seeing
the fantasy they have through ads. I believe a message should be sent to Dove about the subliminal message that they want the little girl to see, it's bad enough rap shows everything, it's tough being a parent today.

When I was in High School (before you heard of all the plastic surgery) The guys would say,"I met a girl when we got together she would take off her bra, girdle, hair piece and put it on the dresser and jump into bed, I would jump on the dresser".
Now a days you dont even really know what color a persons eyes are for sure. How do these people afford all this plastic surgery?
I mean its all so costly yet you hear of so many people getting it done.

good comeback!
i know thornyone, keeping up one's appearance is expensive & hard work! from back in the 50's... til now. women suffer no matter how you look at it.
corsets... girdles... spanx... high heels... tight jeans... sucking in... it's all so exhausting!

Suzanne, when I was in high school I used to get up at 6 a.m. so I could make my bed and hit the bathroom to do my hair and makeup which took about an hour. I didnt know about blowdrying for my long hair, so I used to sleep on those huge curlers the size of juice cans because the style was more for straight hair. At one point I wore eyeliner and false eyelashes. After I realized I didnt even go swimming with my friends because my makeup would come off I stopped wearing the eyelashes, but it took a while to coat on enough mascara. To go to the beach I even set my hair the night before just so I looked good when I walked on the beach. Anyone with curly hair knows what the sea breeze does to naturally curly hair.
To keep my weight down I didnt eat until sometime after school. Never breakfast, brunch,or lunch. Thank goodness high heels wernt really in because my feet just never wanted to do that. We work "squa boots"(those are a type of moccasin) and sandles..
I worked after school for a few hours each day and babysat when I could from the time I was 15 and could get a work permit just so I could buy my hip hugger bellbottom jeans that were popular in the early 70's, and my cosmetics.
In fact I wore cosmetics every single day until my kids graduated high school and I no longer had to leave the house every morning to drive them to school. Now its not as often, who is going to see me? I rarely want to look in the mirror anymore because I dont know who that person is that is starring back at me any more. I mean when your inner age is 20 to 30 years different that your ext

Hi thornyone; I know the feeling Im62 feel 36 look 96, when i look in the miorror it talks to me ,like remember when they made the Model T OR YOUR LAST B-DAY 1900 OMG yes i too see some strainge old lady looking back at me,then i laugh at my self and thank GOD for letting me stay around for my family .i have ggrand kids im 62yrs old,what can i expect??? A-PYT?

Hey, as long as my hubby still grabs me in the morning with no make up on with morning breath, I'm cool.

nosy4, I think I look bad, but my kids and their friends tell me I look good and I dont look my age, I think they are being kind. My husband says he doesnt see the stuff I dont like about myself I guess he see my inner beauty, at least that is what he tells me and some just say those that love you know the beauty inside. So I guess its all good. Like you say as long as my husband loves me and has always been faithful and true to me I shouldnt complain.
Latinawoman, I always thought the answer is to be skinny, one of my sons is a bit fuller like me the other is thin. I always thought it would be easier for him but I was wrong. He was teased and picked on too. I think both my sons are good looking. One worse a size 10 shoe in the 4th grade, he had to deal with ridicule from kids wanting to know why he wore such big shoes. I said maybe because he has big feet. Really I wanted to wring their neck.
I will agree if I had the money, I mean enough to have already been able to do for my boys like I would like to and take care of important everyday things first and had some extra I wouldlook into plastic surgery, and maybe a bit of liposuction and a trainer to help with proper exercises.
