^^ I agree and I've been there. It just seems like a narrow view of attractiveness and women in bikinis are often promoted on WP, and it's not helpful for the people who are legitimately overweight and feel unattractive because of it. Most women do not look like Britney Spears in a bikini. 
It's nuts how 'Hollywood ugly' and 'Hollywood fat' are 'average' and 'a nice figure' in normal circles.

Yeah, it's even crazier how Hollywood's views seem to also be some of WP's views.
Don't worry ladies. Just because you look like Britney Spears doesn't mean that you're fat. Guys will still find you attractive.
What a relief.
(I have nothing against Britney Spears. I've never been a fan, but I respect what she's been through and admire how she's dealt with it. She's very attractive, not at all average-looking.)

Among things, we've all seen people of all figures in relationships. Somehow that rarely becomes internalized. Most people are close enough to average that their appearance isn't the issue, but yet most people fixate on how they look as the deal-breaker.
I'm not blaming people for internalizing the idea that they must look a certain way, I blame other people for aggravating those insecurities instead of reminding each other that we're good enough.

I think that people who are considered average or even below average when it comes to appearance can seem very attractive if they have positive character traits. A very attractive person could seem ugly to me if they often behave in ways that hurt or harm others.

That may be why I don't find the pic of Britney attractive. I found her attractive till she had her mental breakdown which sounds hypocritical for me to say but what I heard at the time all over the media gave me the impression that she was a major threat to her kid & tried to kidnap. I can still enjoy her music but when I look at her I imagine her with a shaved head bragging about flipping out & acting psycho. It does majorly s#ck how her dad got guardianship of her so he could exploit her to make a sh!t ton of money thou.
