Body type acceptance within different races?

I am a black woman and I have to say, we accept our bodies more than any other race it seems. We love our curvy bodies with the extra thickness, and so do the men. If you DO have wide hips, a big booty, and a small waistline, it's a GOOD thing, not a bad one as it is in the white race. Also, the hispanic and italian races are more accepting. What do you guys think? I feel sorry for the young white girls who strive to be thin.

twinkee, these are excellent points you make. Personally, I admire the bodies of black women for their curviness. I am white, and I have these (what I like to call) "child-bearing hips"...lol) and a round derrierre, and sometimes this bothers me, until I see an exotic woman like J LO and how people seem to readily accept her curviness...and then I feel better about my shape. I do think that white women are more self critical and gossipy about body shape than the other races. It's weird, I have no idea why white women are like that. I have fallen victim to it myself. Good post, brings up relevant points for sure.

LOL!!! pheonix i just mentioned j lo in my other post, ohhh well, its all about j lo anyway LOL anyway for an asian, i dont have a small ass..lol its not huge tho ^^; anyway and my boobs are small but i just wanna get toned because my hips arent small either, they're perfect in my eyes, i just wanna get toned damnit -_-

dude thank GOD i have a fast motabolism tho LOL otherwise, id be screwed ^^

Thanks phoenix for your compliment. I don't know why white women feel this way. Maybe it has something to do with barbie or hitler when blonde, blue-eyed was the way to be. Barbie just made things worst with the thin part.

LOL barbies..oh the baby days... my barbies and ken dolls were all stripped nakie and yeah... and no dont get any dirty thoughts now ^^

LOL...twinkee, leave it to a gem to make me think in a completely different way...(Hitler thing)! I'm not laughing at Hitler, I'm laughing that it's amazing how you geminis think so differently from me...I like that.

Luz, omg, I used to invent the wildest orgies within my little collection of barbies ever, hahahaha. I mean, truly, if there was such a thing as Barbie Porn movies, I would get an award for best director. lol 😛

(I guess you can leave it to a scorpio to totally get wicked with childhood toys...hehe)

HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!

LOL...just to further your shock, I will tell you that I also invented some mad sexual deviance between Teddy Ruxpin and Strawberry Shortcake. lol. Not to mention a select few of my more slutty cabbage patch dolls. *evil laugh

Hi Ladies!!!!


I am as you know an older, but I still got it goin on! I have and always have been somewhere voluptous. I was a late bloomer as are my girls and we really became full figure in our late 20's! I have always been proportioned and when I was younger I was also athletic and competitve, mostly horse shows and stadium jumping! Couldnt do it with now. My girls are built just like me. Big on the top and booty but just the right amount, they can carry a little extra weight because they are taller 5'7-5'8. We have small feet though and this makes it not so good.

Phoenix, I would tell you NOT to put in breast implants. I think that is dangerous, and they dont look very good, IMO. I can tell you to try herbal mixtures that the Indians use to use to enlarge the breasts. It works. It is a mixture of saw palemetto, dong quai, fennel greek, red clover, some kind of omega oil. It takes longer, but I think it is effective.

Hey, I'm up for anything...I'll try it, but I would need a precise recipe and advice on how long to take it, as well as dosage amounts and whether there are any drug interactions that are bad. Mars in Virgo, not my fault, Mars in Virgo, not my fault (lol)

Phoenix,

You made me laugh about the toys. I had a doll house and I positioned the little people in very sexually suggetive positons! HAH

I remember my mother cracking up laughing about it

I was doing the same thing.LOL

Oooh, I could tell you some stories!

.

LOL Phoenix! I knew about Barbie and Ken and Midge and Allen. But, I had no idea about Teddy Ruxpin and Strawberry Shortcake or slutty cabbage patch dolls!! LOL! Hilarious!

I am white. I am happy with my body. But, it took years. I wanted to be thin as a rail instead of curvy. I suppose the media played a part and clothing style s. My top and bottom are equal and I have a small waist. I used to have a hard time finding jeans that fit just right, but, the cuts are different than they used to be...better! My guy loves my body and of course, that makes me feel sexy...even at my age!
There was a time when me and my sisters over-dieted....years ago... Until one of my sisters was diagnosed and hospitalized for anorexia. Now we all look healthy! That is the main thing....being healthy!!
Weight lifting will get you toned faster than anything, Luz! But, follow a good program. If you are going to do it at home, buy a good book about it first. Many people think you should walk with ankle weights and wrist weights...this is bad for you. You could hurt rather than help your muscles, tendons, and ligaments. So, be healthy, my friends!
