i have a first house venus, so that just natally sucks for me, cause i know what that means. lol

anyway, alot of society places alot of pressure in women to look a certain way, and gives them a kind of inferiority complex if they are very hourly glass figure.



i really like this blog from this woman, who titles:

https://emmatheemo.wordpress.com/2013/09/05/men-will-love-you-because-of-your-looks-even-if-youre-ugly/
quote:
"When such women do get a man to fall in love with them, perhaps they think they’ve found someone who loves them “for them”… Yes, for them, their delusional beliefs about human nature, competitive personality and “confidence”.

My dad once told me something funny. When I was a teenager, I was a bit crazy and told my dad “Hey, if I become fat, will all the creepy shallow men ignore me? Will the guy who falls for me then, love me for me?”


And I drew a picture of a fat girl, how I wanted to look like. It looked kind of like this girl at her fattest, or slightly less fat."

from link""Dad said “No, if you look like that, men will still be attracted to you. This is a very cute chubby girl you’ve drawn”.
“Damn!” – I thought. I guess there is no escaping the male gaze.

And then later I found out it’s true. If you’re that fat, you’ll be loved by cute chubby-chaser betas.


So even if you messed with your looks, there will be a guy liking that look despite all the flaws you inflicted on it. So don’t try that method to eliminate physical love. You’ll just narrow the pool of men who are capable of falling in love with you, but fail to achieve the “pure” ideal romantic love. "




do you want to be loved for who you are, whether you gain weight or not??

or is it really important to be at a certain weight due to your image? or an image of yourself?

I'm reminded of Gwen Stefani and her need to wear alot of make-up even going to bed, to keep the "attraction" going for her man.

although that's make-up, what about weight? Do you feel that if you gain alot you feel that your man will leave?

well supermodels i have heard try to lose alot of weight by throwing up and being bulimic and aneroxic, or they take lots of diet pills and sometimes illegal drugs.

there is a huge price for beauty.

and i'm not talking about getting surgery. These women have natural beauty but they have difficulty maintaining the weight needed for their height.

if they are happy and find someone that loves them the way they are, that is the best.

Interesting subject. I was skinny for about 30 years and went through a rough break up, gained weight and now I'm a bigger woman and have been for 11 years. So all in all, I was a grown skinny woman for about 11 years and now a grown "fat" woman for 11 years. I will take the person I've evolved into now over any other "me" and no matter if I'm fat or skinny over the next 11 years, I'll still love the skin I'm in. In regards to attraction, I've had guys who don't even prefer fat women want to do anything from bone me to be my man. I think it's truly about who you are on the inside. For the record, I've not had many problems with men. In fact, for the most part, my dating experiences for the past 5 years have been amazing. It's just been perspective as far as whether or not I'm getting what I want personally.

Do I care about my "image". Yes, I care that I'm representing my truest self according to my values. End of story.

hmm...I think I will answer because my answer is a little weird.

I am very self-aware sometimes, but it depends. I go to work or school looking like I just rose from the dead and I could care less. My hair will be awry and I'm like "yea ok who am I trying to impress". But when I am going to the city or going out with friends and going out in public for a good time THEN I will be like "oh god what do I wear? I need makeup, wow, I look like a train wreck right now. This needs to be fixed."

I also have Venus in the first house...though I have no idea what that means. I'm going to look it up now out of curiosity. Thanks.

As for self-image....I would add on to my self-aware statement earlier by saying being so thin has always made me notice that most people are not. As in...most people have shape etc. It did add more self-conscious vibes and I always wanted more shape because of it. Now there is that "movement" where women with more curves are desired and skinny ones are not. Well...there are some people who can't help being so small, so why do people have to make big statements like that at all? Who CARES what someone's size is? It has been increasingly difficult I suppose in that aspect because I know I will never be of "average" size or curvy. I take after my mother who has the same wrist size as me currently....so in other words...it's permanent for me lol.

The last guy I was seeing always called me skinny and would comment on it, and I would laugh it off at first, but he said it one too many times (who constantly brings that up- come on now) and I went on a tirade about how I'm fine the way I am and I like myself being this size and it's not gonna change LOL.

Overall I obviously accept myself because I enjoy how I am and who I am, but it is very annoying how men and society place these standards out there for women because we should be able to live our lives without having other factors haunt us. I think it makes me and most likely others very self-aware. (Plus my moon is in Virgo so I'm self-aware to the max). There is no such thing as being undesirable, because there will always be someone who desires you for being you, me for being me, and I think that this should be the mentality of everyone. I know eventually someone will accept me for being scrawny ol me.

Yes I do, partially the reason I used to be anorexic and I am now EDNOS.
😢 are you in a relationship now? and if so, does your man love you for who you are? Do you feel that if you gained weight you would not be loved?

i feel that alot of the problems stem from this.

http://theodysseyonline.com/clemson/dad-bod/97484

quote: "In case you haven't noticed lately, girls are all about that dad bod. I hadn't heard about this body type until my roommate mentioned it. She used to be crazy over guys she claimed had the dad bod. After observing the guys she found attractive, I came to understand this body type well and was able to identify it. The dad bod is a nice balance between a beer gut and working out. The dad bod says, "I go to the gym occasionally, but I also drink heavily on the weekends and enjoy eating eight slices of pizza at a time." It's not an overweight guy, but it isn't one with washboard abs, either.

The dad bod is a new trend and fraternity boys everywhere seem to be rejoicing. Turns out skipping the gym for a few brews last Thursday after class turned out to be in their favor. While we all love a sculpted guy, there is just something about the dad bod that makes boys seem more human, natural, and attractive. Here are a few reasons that girls are crazy about the dad bod:"

well you would have no problem getting a man in real life, for sure. Infact you would have ALOT of admirers, and NEVER lack.

do you feel you never lack in that department??

like if you just go anywhere, men everywhere no matter what age, status, like you?? How are you like in real life and your experiences. That should tell you how you are.

I have saturn in the 8th house and moon in my 6th.

This is notorious for 'body issues'......even if there might not be any of real substance. I have felt it since puberty.

My answer is no to image, I don't really pay attention to what other people think of me....especially physically.

....and yes to body image issues. Nothing is ever good enough for me. I don't necessarily care what others think about my body shape or size, but *I* care and it often holds me back....or I *feel* it holds me back from enjoying things that I should be able to enjoy comfortably.

I always am working towards that day when I can be as free as I see other people being. It's unlikely I'll ever get there. Because like I said earlier, nothing is ever good enough for me.

I KNOW I'm not so weirdly shaped that people look at me and think things (there are days that I think I look very nice).....but I STILL am weird about it.

I mostly keep it to myself....and I thank the heavens that I didn't have daughters because I would surely screwed them up, in that respect. lol
i think we are (women) mostly self conscious about what we look like to the opposite sex. Alot of that comes from what the opposite sex thinks of us growing up.

the thing that is so weird is I am proportioned well.....and that screws with my head....."If I just do this" or "If I just do that"....is ALWAYS present in my mind.

it's not like I don't have anything to work with.

I feel bad for people who have those weird kind of shapes that no matter what they do.....well, they can't really do anything.

...but then I see them doing things that I wish I could do.....and it just frustrates me.
i'm also well proportioned. lol

but, i do feel sad about women having to throw up and do drugs to keep beautiful.

just like the libra below said she was aneroxic for awhile.

and associating it with men.

It is the first thing i notice when i turned a teenager. The feelings of being desirable. it is a very uncomfortable feeling as well. I feel like i want to be repulsive but then there's a part of me that feels narcissitic. (this might be 1st house issues.) lol

but i've accepted it as i got past my teens. I won't throw up though, to keep skinny. in the winter, just exercise and eat right.
and i love food way too much to diet hard. i need food.

my father was a scorpio with an aqua moon....and I can tell you honestly, he never really did anything to damage my self image or to give me a bad body image.

my mother, on the other hand (gemini).....we fought all the time because I was much more conservative in my appearance then she wanted me to be. She geared towards more provocative, attention getting attire and behaviour than I was comfortable with. Even if I had the body of a stripper or a ballet dancer....I still wouldn't wear that kind of stuff or allow myself to come off as too provocative, especially in public.

that's not really where I was going when I said "things I should be able to enjoy comfortably".....something as simple as wearing shorts or capris....I won't do it because I don't feel comfortable in it.

Team sports.....not gonna do that either.
oh that's not good imo. My mother and grandmothers come from a very conservative family line, both sides actually.

They're more like the Jackie Onassis, very classy and conservative, catholic upbringing.

Maybe it's just your mother and her upbringing. But to get that kind of attention is going to find certain "types" of men is what my grandmothers /mother, aunts told us.

Yes. As a Leo rising and leo moon I am very much aware of my image and my surrounding image. And my image is extremely important to me and could even be classed as borderline vanity but I cannot help that as people naturally notice me without me even trying. My S/o has got to be attractive too.

I used to be a UK 6 in my early 20s and at 49 I am a UK 14. People still think I am 35 when they see me. I have always tried to exercise and eat a healthy diet. I have a constant beauty regime and would not be seen dead without a bit of blush and lip gloss even going down to the local paper shop which is only 5 mins from where I live. All my clothes are colour coordinated with matching Lulu Guinness designer handbags and matching shoes to match the handbag and lip gloss to also match. My nicknames are "glamour puss" and "Betty Boop"!

Unfortunately I would like to be less image based, but ever since a youngster people draw towards me, they will even approach me out of nowhere and talk to me. So even if I want to go "unseen" I am always seen so I have no choice but to be impeccably maintained all the time!!

It does make me feel good though. But I have to confess that it is hard for a woman in this society. We are always under pressure to be perfect all the time regardless of age. When I was growing up there was an advert on British TV which sums it up:

"keep young and beautiful
It's your duty to be beautiful
Keep young and beautiful if you want to be loved"
lol my husband has leo. He has HONESTLY told me, some things about even how he chooses women 😆

I'll be generous and tell you how he told me that when he was in early high school, maybe he was 15, there was this gorgeous 16 year old girl from Eastern Europe, or Russia (i forget where) but she was the classic beauty, and he asked her out!! she said no. Turns out she was dating a 26 year old man who drove her around and wealthy. lol I said to him, damn, you got balls!! 😄 😄

He just shrugged. lol

well, my mother had nine siblings, all raised together....and her leo sister is just the opposite. Fortunately, the leo sister raised me the latter part of my teens.

I prefer someone like Grace Kelly over Anna Nicole Smith (my mother's favourite).....lol

My mother always thought that was 'boring'.
Grace Kelly is very very beautiful, and a classic beauty. My grandmothers, aunts, and my mother love her too!!! her and classic beauties.

they really really love women who show class. And they all said, you exude class, you can't go wrong in life.

I'm a little less classy but ok with that. I mean i dont dress classy like that though. But i wont dress like a slut.

Oh yes this is interesting. Very true in fact. In fact, people will admit their admiration occasionally and I will be taken aback and even shy away. It is daunting sometimes. I like the admiration, but I also find it exhausting if it is someone I just want to be friends with. I don't want to hurt their feelings. In regards to age this is very relevant. At work, I have quite a few admirers, though most of them are just my friends. Their ages range from 21-29, ethnicities vary, personalities vary. Each person is unique. I draw no specific type. ALTHOUGH, upon taking an astro class regarding natal charts, mine shows that I attract/get involved with cruel men, which is also true. Why? I don't know. Maybe my Mars in Sag has influence here. I like the dark, strange man who has a lot to say and interesting ideas with a twist, but I want him to have a good heart...a rare find. Normally my finds are dark and hold really interesting conversations but missing a good heart.

I'm going off on a tangent that has nothing to do with the original topic lol. I'll stop myself now before I get too crazy. I found this link too!

Maybe I can explain better with a personal story......

During my first divorce, I couldn't afford an attorney, so I had to represent myself. For our final court hearing, I had purchased the nicest (that I could afford) navy pencil skirt, matching fitted blazer and pumps If I couldn't hire attorney, the game plan was to at least look like one 😛

I had to go into work that day because the hearing was in the middle of the day (and I couldn't afford to take off the entire day).

My coworker, who was morbidly obese and had just gone through gastro bypass surgery, commented to me when I walked in the office that morning...."Wow, you are my goal. If I can only look like that someday, I will be happy for the rest of my life."

I literally looked at her like she had three heads.

She immediately got quiet and said..."No, that will never happen. I'm sorry for even thinking it."

OMG...I FELT SO HORRIBLE!

I was NOT looking at her like that because she was overweight and could never have a nice body!!!!!!!!!!!

....and now it was all awkward and weird and there wasn't anything I could say to make the situation any better 😢

I was looking at her because I was thinking....

Why the hell would you want to look like me?

Do you realise I just went through an hour long anxiety attack before leaving the house in this skirt?

lol

Then I was pissed at myself for upsetting her AND thinking that way about myself.
i can kind of relate. This is very Aries. It's internal. And you don't mean to be hurtful, but it comes out that way because you are only thinking of "you" and not the "other"

I've also come to the conclusion a long time ago...that no matter what you look like, people are going to find flaws because everyone has their own definition of 'beauty'.

Personally, I think Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Aniston, Kate Winslet and Amanda Seyfried are absolutely gorgeous....but I have friends that have picked each of them apart and concluded they were ugly. lol
that's true.

i forget to add that in the link. i notice how she/he said that what house your venus is in is stronger.

I dont know where that class said you are attracted or find cruel men? 😕 Is that more the effect of first house venus??

here is also a good site for venus in other houses...

this is 5th house venus: (has a good image)

http://www.theastrologyplace.uk/2011/01/venus-in-5th-house.html


The 5th house is concerned with self-expression and creativity, and it is here where we express what is special and unique about us. Romantic love is one avenue where we express these qualities, but the fifth house also rules children and our ability to express joy, happiness and uninhibited pleasure. Those with Venus here like to be appreciated and loved for their talents. The 5th house is symbolic of the search for security in our identity as an individual. In the 5th house there is the need to re-create part of one’s individuality, and often this house precipitates the need to be loved by others.

People with this palcement need an activity or hobby that fulfils their desire for creative expression. The 5th house symbolises the result of procreative effort – whether it is writing, art, a child, or blossoming romance. These creative accomplishments boost self-worth and feelings of happiness and contentment. It can be beneficial for the individual to be involved with children and creating something of value. Financial gain is possible through all creative endeavours such as music, art, literature and drama.

Unless they create something worthwhile, their creative expression is projected onto children and/or lovers. The 5th house also relates to the love we give others and so children and romantic interests can be viewed as beautiful and loving, and sometimes they have creative, talented and charming children. Those with Venus in this position usually possess a strong appreciation of aesthetics, and this person will not feel completely fulfilled without an outlet of some kind."

Oh yes this is interesting. Very true in fact. In fact, people will admit their admiration occasionally and I will be taken aback and even shy away. It is daunting sometimes. I like the admiration, but I also find it exhausting if it is someone I just want to be friends with. I don't want to hurt their feelings. In regards to age this is very relevant. At work, I have quite a few admirers, though most of them are just my friends. Their ages range from 21-29, ethnicities vary, personalities vary. Each person is unique. I draw no specific type. ALTHOUGH, upon taking an astro class regarding natal charts, mine shows that I attract/get involved with cruel men, which is also true. Why? I don't know. Maybe my Mars in Sag has influence here. I like the dark, strange man who has a lot to say and interesting ideas with a twist, but I want him to have a good heart...a rare find. Normally my finds are dark and hold really interesting conversations but missing a good heart.

I'm going off on a tangent that has nothing to do with the original topic lol. I'll stop myself now before I get too crazy. I found this link too!

i forget to add that in the link. i notice how she/he said that what house your venus is in is stronger.

I dont know where that class said you are attracted or find cruel men? 😕 Is that more the effect of first house venus??

Hmm I definitely thought it was, but I guess it is actually my Mars squaring my Saturn. I thought Venus had an effect but I guess not. Luckily my Venus has no hard aspects with most of my placements e

I think no matter what shape or size u are, there will be men who'll like you.

Liking a person goes beyond the lines of her body.

Personally, I do care. I don't follow latest trends but my sole concern is to look decent and neat(I'm more conservative in my dressing). Regarding body...i wont go into details but I do go for jogging, for helping my poor health!

Regarding hair...i always wear a ponytail. Somehow I hate to be seen with my hair down unless I have to leave immediately after I wash my hair, I pull it back and hold it in a tiny butterfly clip. Sometimes a french plait.

Make-up --- I only put lipstick occasionally. Usually use a chapstick or sometimes the classic Vaseline does it for me! Butter oil too makes our lips soft. Anyway, for face or skin, I do use homemade remedies(packs, scrubs etc).

Somewhere I have always been concerned with wearing well-tailored clothes(not figure hugging but neatly tailored.. Yanno, that perfect fit that wont hug your body and show your lines?) . And looking NEAT. I also go for lotsa pastel colors, mild floral work, lacey designs, flowing look.

My Venus is in 10 house..so yeah. The need to look "neat"...TBH even I cannot explain it myself.

I get told I'm too conservative than required by some people including my mother...but I cant seem to get myself to change my style.
Venus in 10th...like a dream. What you have in tenth is who you really are...

I have capricorn in 10th. I care about my image bc I am constantly trying to be better than I was. I wasn't born in a barn either so yes, I want to put my best food forward. I also have a dgaf side as well though. I like to look nice, I want to be smarter about something than I was yesterday, constantly evolving in one way or another even if it's in a small way.
you are so happy go Lucky though.

it must be your dominant fire chart. with leo mars, Sagittarius ect.

^^^really? 😄 ...in 10 house, ie midheaven, I have Pisces :/

Can you elaborate bricklemark, please?? What house is your Venus placed in btw? 🙂
Venus in pisces? Thats a good placement, pisces love to party, venus do too, the association of the two is very positive. And its your public image too. How people really perceive you.

You notice your 10th house after 30 usually. You realize more and more " hey im like my 10th house..." So people will think of you : sociable, beautiful, fun, party animal, enjoying the good things in life.

My venus is in 6th. I dont really know how to interpret it.
