The ironic thing is that it's women's magazines putting the pressure on other women, at least as far as the weight issue goes. Models in men's magazines tend to have curves and a healthy weight. It's generally the models in magazines that women read, and in the media shows that women watch, that are extremely skinny. For some reason, you ladies like to put unnecessary pressure on each other to be stick thin. Most men find women with healthy curves to be extremely attractive.

So yes men will still desire you no matter your age just not as much as they did when you were younger.
There is a big difference between a guy wanting to have sex with you (let's face it....most men will have sex with any woman regardless) and a man actually wanting to be with you.

A man desiring me for sex and sex only is not a compliment for me because of that. That just means I'm alive and I own a vagina...nothing else really matters.

Now, a man desiring me for a relationship or desiring me beyond my genitals is much, much different.

If a man doesnt want you sexually there is no desire for a relationship sans family and just friends and lets face it men with female friends are probably women hes attracted to sexually. If he doesnt desire you sexually you will be treated like any other stranger or male friend. Its life. Women are judged based on looks ( youth and fertility are preffered ). Men are judged based on utility ( whatever they can actually do ). Everything else is secondary.

Very true. That being said, if a woman is mediocre-looking but she is a kind person and she gives her man a lot of sex, that can go a long way to make her more desirable.

lpfan921, u are totally right/ lots of womens magazines are put alot of self conscious-ness and insecurities in women by the content of the articles. stuff like:

*how to lose weight and get him to notice u.
* why botox is ok
*you plastic surgery questions answered
*3 day slimdown-recipe on page 50
etc.
lol

of course it doesnt help that some of the women in these magazines look like a mop with earrings on.

so its kinda suggesting this type of unhealthy body figure is stylish trendy and desired. it doesnt help that designers only make clothing up to a size 6..(sometimes in the pictures it will show the sizes and price) im sure its like some couture brands or something but still.

its a shame these women magazines dont have articles like:

* not eating is dangerous to your health
* the advantges of having a more fuller curvier body
* gain 10 pounds and look better in your bikini this summer
* how to fill out your jeans with these exercises
etc lol

Marilyn Monroe was a sex symbol in her time and she was never a size 0. i read somewhere that she was a size 10. she had a womans body with curves and all ...there was no way u could ever fit all of marilyn in a size 0.

i really wish magazines and fashion shows would show more women with healthier body types. itwould make alot of women feel more confident with their body and eating disorders would probably be on the decline.

Don't expect this to ever be taken in and understood on here or IRL by men. In case you haven't noticed, they hold the monopoly where these things are concerned & it's only valid if it's their situation.

I agree completely. Of course, I prefer to be treated as an actual human being and not just a walking vagina.

I know that no matter what I do, how good of a person I am, how well I treat others...that I will NEVER be seen as anything more than what I look like.

It's a bummer, but that's just the way it is.

You are so totally wrong about this. You are now lumping men together.

Us decent guys understand 100% what she meant.

I've always found it interesting that on this forum so many of the men think there is no difference between wanting a relationship with someone and wanting to just bang them and leave.

To so many men here, they are the exact same thing.
