STS: using standards of beauty to manipulate others

[Plenum]

It has it's uses here I think. Just another path to trod and learn from. No doubt we have all been born both as physically perfect humans as well as ugly fat ones.

See - you are doing it also - automatically linking "fat" with "ugly". Apparently the media manipulation worked well
I think people who are more on the superficial side tend to think that way. I know guys whose beauty standards for a girl is darkhaired, size 36 / 38 (imagine that! they actually know the clothes size that their perfect mate must have. It is hilarious, in a way)

and the images presented to us in the media aren't even real! see this:



lines under the eyes removed, cheek lines softened, skin tone lightened, her arm is made thinner??
