Why do women always think of themselves in lbs and not the way their body is bui!


Question: Why do women always think of themselves in lbs and not the way their body is built!?
Women are more then just weight!. They have boobs, and a butt!. They maybe small medium or big bone!. So why is it they always worried that they aren't 110lbs when they might carry 20lbs in their boobs alne much less the fact that women are mostly fat and look better when they have some fat on their body!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Thank the media and celebrities!.

It's hard to not subconsciously feel subjected to media messaging about body type, even if you are a confident person!. There is always this invisible standard it feels like women have to make!.

Also, not ALL guys (not even close), but some guys encourage this horrible standard!. If I was ever picked on by my peers as a teenager, it was usually from guys and not catty girls!. Coming from guys, especially for a heterosexual female, the teasing can really be detrimental to how a woman feels the opposite sex may view her!.

All women aren't self-conscious with low confidence though!. It's just a very difficult journey for us females to accept our bodies because of outside factors!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Because, unfortunately, our especial society places far too much emphasis on being thin!. That's also why you see anorexia now, when as little as 40 years ago the term didn't exist!.

Yet there are other societies that do in fact value women with a good amount of padding, so to speak: It means that her family is prosperous, and she would be a good mother!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's not just women who are obsessed with the scale weight!. Men do the same thing and don't consider how much muscle they are carrying!. It is a problem that has been around for quite some time and is carried on by shows like the biggest loser and fat march who count pounds instead of body composition!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

well, i feel like women always compare themselves to other women, and what with the so called 'role models' ie female celebs that we're over-exposed to, hey'e all so skinny and successful that many women feel like thats all that counts, rather than brains and personality!.

and re!. your bit about 20lbs in their boobs!.!.!.that's about the only bit about my body i actually like hahaha!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, don't know if any woman could carry 20lb in her boobs lol, but I do get what you are saying!. Lots of women obsessed with the number on the scale and not how they are shaped!. For instance to much waist fat can be unhealthy, but boob and butt fat isn't going to kill you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

the media!.!. most def!. and you guys honestly want that!. ok here is an example!. you have a choice between and beautiful thin woman not too skinny but just right for her height!. wearing a pretty two peice swim suit and then you have a beautiful big woman who is 30 pounds overweight!. wearing the same swim suit!.!.!. picture the two women in your head !.!.!. what turns you on more!. who would you pick!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

That's why we men have to assure women how much we love them when they look so natural!. On the other hand they don't want us to prefer someone else for them(who could be slimmer, etc) and really media is greatly contributing to it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I really do blame the media!. lol How many times do you open a magazine and see a girl who is a size 12!? Or watch a movie where the leading woman has "meat on her bones!?"Www@Answer-Health@Com

Because this world only see women as skinny people!.

It is a shame that we are like this!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
