opposed to that, i feel bad when i weigh significantly more than 70 kg (154 lbs) at 1.86m (6 feet 1) - especially without training. i then feel clumsy and disproportionate. i also tend to find skinny girls more attractive...

so, its not written in stone that this or that is desirable in girls/women or what weight one is supposed to feel well at. its not wrong wanting to be skinny and feeling well being skinny... its about how much and whether it is used as an outlet for other issues that makes it unhealthy. just as unhealthy as eating against stress habitually and exploding into obesity on the other end of the scale.

Do you have a picture so that more people in this thread can give you an honest response?

This is a preposterous and paranoid topic, but as no one has yet said anything about a photograph of myself at the age of fifteen, I have to wonder if you think I used to be ugly and fat.

I should probably delete this topic...

Now you know how truly insecure I am, though I keep my insecurities secret in real life.


I'm 48 years old, so if I told you what I really thought, I would get into trouble.

Is your mom hot, too? - lol

Birch trees are rubish the way they sit there and act all birchy.

Baobab FTW!

Perhaps the reason for this is that I tried modeling as a young girl, but some of the other girls jumped up from behind a corner to frighten me and yell out "YOU'RE FAT!"

That's why you should be careful who you disclose your insecurities to because bullies will know how to get a rise out of you. It has little to do with your weight. Modelling is hyper competitive. Blackmail, sabotage, grievous bodily harm is not off limits to some people.

Now you can insult birch trees. It could make you feel better and you don't have to worry about hurting their feelings.

in general, 14 years is the age of consent, with a few gray zones however. when presents of high value or similar means by a person above 18 years are used, intercourse with anyone under 16 is punishable.
i like this legislation because it is paying attention to the physical development as the minimum requirement for the physical act, but keeps in mind that older people could use their experience to coerce younger people easily, hence the gap between 14 and 16. it leaves the decision to the mental maturity to the individual as soon as it is "physically equipped", so to say. it is not imposing a random moral standard of rightness or an assumption when one is mentally mature enough upon people (what else drives people to the idea that minors shouldnt have sex?).
