If I’d only had the same forethought she did, I could’ve saved myself SO MUCH time and effort…

While I’d like to agree with eric, having seen the number of disgustingly overweight teenaged girls who prance around in clothes that are skin tight with rolls of fat hanging out between their crop tops (which read “Sexy” or “I like bad boys” or something ridiculous like that) and their size 6 low rider jeans hard pressed to try to cover their size 14 asses… I’m wondering if that would really be the case.

Back in my day… we worked really hard to be thin and sexy. We went to Jazzercise, barely ate, spent half our paychecks from the Gap on Dexatrim, sometimes even puked after lunch… all so that we could stand in the mirror, look at our size 2 figures and complain that we weren’t a size 0. Granted, we might not have been healthy, but we looked good.

These girls today are opposite. They think they have hot, sexy bodies when in reality, they should spending their summers at fat camp. So I think those girls would probably alternate the five minutes they spent on the main stage with sessions of pigging out on cheese fries at the bar as their big ole butts consume the bar stool underneath… and huffing and puffing their way through a lap dance, only to decide after one or two that they’re hungry again. At least that’s my prediction.

I agree with Eric that there was definitely a reaction to the girls in my generation starving themselves and a campaign was launched to teach young girls it’s ok not to be model skinny. Very true. And I don’t think that was such a bad thing because what I was doing (as were my friends) wasn’t healthy — it was obsessive. However, I do think some girls have taken that to a whole new level and feel they should be sexy fat. That’s only a small part of it though. I also think that at that age particularly (teens), girls will basically do anything to get the attention of men. And at that age, they haven’t really learned how to discriminate between the kind of attention, the different types of guys giving it, and what it means. They dress like sluts because men give them attention for dressing that way that the girls who aren’t dressing slutty aren’t getting. What the girls don’t understand is… the attention doesn’t mean the guys think they’re sexy. The attention means the guys think they’re easy. Big difference. And while it seems pretty obvious now, it really is a difficult thing for young girls to understand. I see these girls squeezed into their clothes, looking unhealthy, fat, and skanky, and wonder if there is anyone– a mom, dad, teacher, some other adult explaining to them how they are perceived and that going and getting a gym body is what will achieve what they want. Because girls with great bodies look good in anything they wear. They don’t need to dress like sluts for guys to realize they’re sexy.

Although, in response to christopher… I do see guys that look pregnant jogging without shirts on, and guys with 4″ biceps or less walking around in shirts with their sleeves cut off. The same goes for them. You’re welcome to jog around naked for all I care if you have a nice body, but no one wants to see your pot belly bouncing around as you jog in place, waiting for a walk sign at an intersection.

LOL! I HAVE seen that– I just never really understood what they were trying to do. I sort of thought they were just cold or something…
