Thick Ain’t It

I understand that I’m the last person that should knock a woman’s quest for thickness and curves but I’m going to do it ANYWAY. I’m not here to preach the common '”love yourself” and “black beauty” and all that good stuff. Who needs to say what has been said, I’m just here to say that you cannot have it all. Period.
We all know that as black women, the media (movies, rap music, magazines, etc.) teaches us that black men want women who look like

And if you’re dark skinned well damn you better look like

Now that we’ve stated the obvious, lets get down to what’s real; women come in a variety of shapes and sizes, hair textures, eye colors, and whatever it is that you don’t like about yourselves. Because body types was the easiest thing to search for, that’s what I’ll focus on.

There used to be a time when men did not place very much importance on a woman's beauty when it came time to choose a wife. It was enough that the village women were kind, loyal and hard working. Fast forward to the days of the E! Network…

A study of over 6,000 women carried out by researchers at the NC State around 2005 found that 46% were banana (rectangular), just over 20% pear, just under 14% apple, and 8% hourglass.

Now me I’m a pear, 20+ percent of the study, but let’s look at the numbers: 60% of women have the  body shape (banana and apple) that is less likely to bee seen in King Magazine. That’s more than half which means it’s the norm!! The two women [above] are the “better half” of the pear group and Halle Berry, at 36-23.5-36, holds the coveted title of the hourglass .With that being said, why would anyone try to morph their bodies into something that rarely exist in nature? To be part of the physically elite?? No matter how much you pay for it, you will never be that. Period.

Where is this going to get you besides in someone’s bed?

(and yes he’ll still sleep with you once he realizes you actually have no ass; he’s just going to laugh about your insecurities with his friends)

It really makes no sense. The men that preach to the people of this country who have eyes to see and ears to ear, are somewhat unattractive and may not have had the attention of the ladies before they bought their first iron platinum chain. Who are they to dictate what the standard of beauty in our communities? There is so much more to being attractive that asses and boobs. There are eyes, lips, hands, legs, intelligence (yes. intelligence), etc. that you may have over the next chick to where you never needed to make yourself look like something your NOT.

I’m not preaching self love and I don’t want everyone to give their neighbor a hug, I’m just saying be smart and weigh ALL of your options before you take that flight to Philadelphia and let a transvestite inject silicone straight into your blood stream.

And if that doesn’t make you feel better, how do you think light skinned and dark skinned are going to look after three kids and a slow metabolism?

I’m just saying…

*UPDATE*

I had to add this picture to show how STOOPID ladies will make themselves look just because this is what they think the rappers and ballers like



Idiots...
