In the nude! what do you think?

As a 40 something wife and mother and woman I will try and enter this conversation.

I despise general media and their portrayal of women in general. According to them, only skinny blonde, blue eyed women with giant fake breasts and pouty lips that have nasty attitudes and chase after old rich men are acceptable. It's disgusting. All day long you are bombarded with so-called reality shows filled with fake women who scream obscenities and throw things at one another. With women who lie, cheat, steal and sleep with anything that has boy parts. And people watch this garbage. They must or there wouldn't be so many of them on. Young girls are taught that you must be mean, selfish, rude and dress like a slut to be acceptable. I fight it with my own daughter every day.

I find most men, most real-life men anyway, are not attracted to this type of girl at all. Now I am not attractive, not by a long shot. I've never thought of myself as pretty. I've been rather heavy most of my life, and now I am fat. I don't deny it. I never understood what my husband saw in me when we met. But, I must have something going for me because I still get a flirt now and then. Makes me feel good. And I will tell you a secret. On the day of my wedding, I was getting ready to leave. I had my dress on, my hair fixed, a little bit of makeup, and when I looked in the mirror I saw something incredible. I was beautiful. I don't mean pretty, I mean beautiful. I couldn't believe it, but on that one day the ugly duckling became a swan.

I find it sad that so many pretty girls don't think they are worthwhile because they don't live up to the unrealistic things they see on TV and in magazines, billboards and in movies. It's a sad comment on the state of our lives when our children feel worthless if they are polite, respectful and dress tactfully.
