There's No End To Being Slim

I came across an article with the header "Australian Model Posts Untouched Bikini Photo" a few days ago. Just from reading the header, I was awed by the model's courage. We all know that most photos of models are tempered with, so this header caught my attention and I went in to read the article.

The Australian model is Robyn Lawley, and according to the article, she switched from straight-size to plus-size modeling. In other words, she now has a fat body, or in this case, supposed to have a fat body. Why do I say so? You will understand what I meant after you see her modeling photo.

So, this is what the modeling industry regard as plus-size. Mind blown. From a man's point of view, her body looks perfectly fine, and is nothing near fat. In fact, she may even be thinner than majority of the females I know. That's the thing - the modeling industry had set the acceptance level for fatness so low that even the model in this picture is considered fat. The worse part is that majority of the females are buying into this standard. For the purpose of comparison, here are some photos of some other models:

I recognise that this special range of models are what the industry call as too-skinny models, and these are some extreme examples. However, it is the standards and values that the industry is introducing to the world that is acidic. 

Many females look up to models and yearn to have bodies like them. And in order to achieve such bodies, they find all ways to shed off the fats in their body, either by cutting down on food consumption, doing intensive exercises, consuming slimming pills, or doing surgeries. These methods are harmful to their bodies, but they feel that the trade-offs are worthy.

To quote a Chinese comedian Dayo Wong, he once said “ 瘦的官方标准就是 - 瘦，减十磅，为之瘦。” In English, it means "The official standard of slim - when you are slim, reduce 10 pounds, then you are slim." In other words, there's no end to being slim, at least to the females. 

A lot of females are constantly trying to cut down their weight, even when they are already slim and light. They just feel that they can be slimmer and lighter, and that to them, equates to more attractiveness. Truth be told - the ultimate goal of females constantly making themselves look attractive is to attract males. This is the instinct of living things; to attract opposite sex. There's no denying that.

For the female readers out there, I am now going to spill it to you what kind of body attracts male. I believe that I am representing majority of the males when I say this - we do not find skinny girls attractive. Robyn Lawley as shown in the first picture, or even slightly chubbier than her, attracts us instinctively. The 4 subsequent models will turn off most males.

Ladies, be natural, and not be too bothered by your weight. The battle against fats will never end. As long as you are alive and kicking, fats will come back to you. No one can permanently put an end to weight-gain. Don't get me wrong, I am not promoting obesity. I am just encouraging you to not be too extreme when it comes to weight loss. Just do enough to keep your body healthy; that's all that matters.
