The first woman appears to be suffering from anorexia, bulimia or dying of cancer.
She's actually fine. Young and at the end of a growth spurt, so this body shape is not atypical. I don't think it's particularly helpful to demonise girls that manage to be both lithe and healthy.

I am hopeful that you don't think it's particularly helpful to demonize girls/women who may or may not manage to be lithe and healthy as I believe all girls/women have something about them that one may find appealing. It is after all a personal matter of preference for each individual.

Good afternoon. My comment has nothing at all to do with personal preference, given that it reduces to the simple proposition: "Demonisation of healthily lithe girls is unhelpful." Nothing more.
In other words, it applies regardless of whether or not one is exercising personal choice in maintaining a slender physique. I hope that clears up any misunderstanding. My regards.

No, she appears sickly. Sure, end of a growth spurt...OK. I'm not demonizing anyone (correct spelling of demonize) I'm simply commenting on a photo of someone who physically appears ill.
And...She is not slender she's dangerously thin.

Hi. Just a few points:
1. "Demonise" is the correct spelling in UK english. I already appreciate it differs from the americanised version of the word.
2. You can actually get a reasonable health impression from what you see in the image: For example, her facial biometry and facial fat distribution is not consistent with someone who is dangerously underweight. There is no peripheral wasting and the skin has a healthy turgor. She is skinny, certainly. Unhealthy? No. I must simply disagree with you on this point.
If you've seen cancer cachexia or end-stage anorexia nervosa for real, you'll understand how what you see here is simply inconsistent with the recognisable features of someone dying of malnutrition or wasting.

First off my apologies on the spelling correction, you are indeed correct.
I think she is grossly underweight and as a result has absolutely no female body shape and actually exhibits a physique more indicative of a 10 year old pre pubescent boy including her chest.
I'm just not attracted to this body type due to what I've just stated.
I'll take my women curvy and shapely the way women should appear.
Too bad this thread was hijacked by two posters arguing like children.
