So I was looking for some plus sized skinny jeans, because yes, I am curvey, and I am not shaped like a prepubescent boy, but I still have the proportions to wear skinny jeans.

I found a yahoo question asking the same question, so I look at the answers, and more than 4/5th of the answers where something like "go on a diet and get ao a size 2" or "fat people dont look good in skinny jeans" or "yuck, PLEASE don’t do it!"

SERIOUSLY?! What the hell? The media is SO horrible. Skinny jeans were actually MADE for curvey people I will have you guys know, back in the 40′s.

Skinny jeans sometimes look bad on bigger girls, and they sometimes look bad on skinny girls. Its about proportions. If your hips are smaller but you are a bigger girl, you can look great! But if you are a twig with small legs and huge hips, you can look horrid!

Well I got into a huge rant [trust me, much longer than this one] and I was just rambling comming up with different reasons for these people’s gross ignorance.. and I realize.

The reason, I believe, people are so messed up, is because of the Media. I realize everyone blames the media.. but hear me out.

Lets take a random celebrity. Brittany Spears…

Ok, so lets say she gains some weight. What will the tabloids say? I think something like "Brittany’s put on a couple pounds, and then a couple more""Is Brittany pregnant?""Is Brittany getting ready for a role of a whale?"

She she does a bunch of drugs and starts binge drinking and loses ALL of her weight just because the media told her to… and now what will they say?
"brittany is unhealthy" "Why is brittany so skinny" "is brittany’s terrible weight loss due to some unknown stress"?

WHAT DOES THE MEDIA WANT? They put impossible standards on already stressed girls [and boys] and then when we finally meet them, the standard has lowered again!

While the standards keep dropping, so will the dead bodies of all the young girls trying to keep up with what our society finds is "good-looking".

so the basis of this is, before you answer a question of a girl looking for a "plus size" item, please think. Telling them they will look stupid and ugly ISN’T going to help them, that is for them to deciede. If they feel that they look good, and it makes them feel pretty, then what does it matter what other people think?

Please, just, remember all the lives that were lost, remember all the families that have suffered because young girls were being bullied and made fun of. remember the sobs and screams and heart-wrenching sobs mothers give out every time their child dies because they were trying to fit in.

Give critisisms, but … give them wisely and give them well, don’t deliberatly try to hurt someone.

Ok, you are asking a question on Internet and you are surprised you are getting rude answers? They want your reaction. You walked right into the trap. Please, I’m annoyed beyond belief people blame everything on media. I have yet to meet a person who’s outlook on life is determined by the media. I don’t read trash like tabloids, I can care less. Media doesn’t put standards on anybody, people do it to themselves. If somebody is insecure, it’s not media’s fault. I know people of different sizes and shapes who don’t even give second thought to so-called ‘standards’. You can’t please everybody, so be yourself, be happy with yourself. You seem too sensitive, when you get upset like that you give your attackers exactly what they want.
