The Minger's Manifesto

    "Negative Body Image" is a common "Women's Issue."

    This appears to be a syndrome whereby women believe that they are unattractive.

    My understanding is that the women afflicted with this believe that they would feel more attractive if they weren't confronted with images of really attractive women in the magazines that they read, the TV shows and movies that they watch, and the billboards that, for some reason, they are unable to tear their eyes from while going about their daily lives.
    In short, the celebration of really beautiful women causes ordinary women to feel inadequate.

    The solution being requested is for "the media" to stop celebrating really beautiful women and start celebrating ordinary, everyday women. Effectively, putting this on a scale of one to ten, the fours, fives and sixes want the eights, nines, and tens to be hidden away, so that they can take their place.

    This strikes me as the same as a mediocre 100m sprinter who wants to be the Olympic champion. Rather than doing all the work required to get to the requisite standard, they want all the faster runners in the world to be excluded from the competition.

    The satisfaction they would get from standing on the podium and receiving fake praise and forced applause is something that I can't understand

    It's like school sports in the UK where there's no losers...everyone's a winner for taking part.
    Of course now the Gov seem to realize that this was a disaster and have created a lazy bunch of cvnts who won't make an effort.

    But then again I'd class Kate Moss as a minger...without the photoshop upgrades she's an ugly bitch.
    I see a huge amount of naturally beautiful women each day and all would beat her hands down.
    Christ..even I'd look good with photoshop..might take a few hours though :D

    Beauty, or the perception of beauty as put out by magazines is there to be exploited just like anything else.One mans vision of beauty is anothers ugliness.Naomi cambell gets paid loads of £ and $ for strutting her stuff and is considered beautiful but her personality sucks big time .

    It was shut down by one of the mods in the ladies lounge. The other mod had offered to move it and requested it to be kept open.

    Coolers. Should have waited for that to happen though, also, nice one on getting the quotes down.

    Also, this is AH so not all replies ( and especially not mine ) will be serious.:)

    If this turns into another thread about fat chicks again I fear for the world. It's becoming like the Godwins Law.

    We should called it the Dudess Law. Any threads about looks will inevitably end with Dudess posting about hugz for fatties.

    The seemingly clever analogy of the OP was put under my microscope and it was found to fail on the following grounds:

    Beauty is relative. Speed is absolute.

    To illustrate, much of the 'beauty' standard established by today's media focuses on blonde hair, orange skin, slender figure. None of these really appeal much to me as a male. I've become awfully bored with the narrowness of it all (no pun intended).

    In fact, blonde hair and orange skin seem like some kind strange positioning of Saxon looks as the 'correct' way to be physically attractive and makes me feel as comformtable as I do watching German youths raising their hands in the air to some moustacheiod man screaming on a stage.

    Girls that don't look so great or have clear weight issues should think about an improvement yes. But being bombarded with a narrow image of female beauty does nobody any good.

    It's gotta be the boss, because most of them are ugly, especially when you ask them for a rise.

    Quite, and I suppose in the same, er, vein, we could expect a wave of porn featuring stars with small or average mickeys trying to diddywank with flat-chested, hairy wimmins... etc etc.

    Actually, come to think of it that could be quite interesting, phwoar... :pac:

    Is "hippy" defined as "any bad person" in Sligo?

    Supporters of Aryan supremacy advocate pale skin, not tanned skin. And they would not want members of inferior races to disguise themselves as "Nordics". But again "Nazis = bad", therefore you win the argument.

    All this moaning about "the meedja" - you have a choice. No-one compels you to watch mindless trashy TV & films or read gutter magazines/newspapers. If you don't like their message, stop paying to receive it then.
