Does this look plus-size or normal to you

@redheaded_woman: "body image issues!!!!! It's always one step forward two steps back with me."

Here's a secret most FOs already know, but the general population of women do not: 

A woman giving you a blow job is ten times more attractive than the hottest runway model on the planet. Possibly a hundred times more attractive.

That's my fashion tip. Try it on your husband or significant other, and just see if I'm right.

@joskin_nodd It's not really about my husband finding me attractive or not.....

It's more "internal" if that makes sense. It's a fight with my own brain.

But thanks for the thought!

I agree with plus size AND normal. Also not all women can carry that much body fat well. When I have that much body fat my belly sticks out and sags, so yay high waisted panties I guess. ) I prefer to be smaller than that myself. As far as what men like I love this picture.




FWIW, I'm not small but I hate the whole curves/bones thing.

I found this webpage helpful, its a photographic summary of what body fat looks like by percentage.

@SMan ; @DanG Apparently I am too t dumb to insert an image.

What do you guys generally think of Christina Hendricks looks ( the busty redhead in Mad Men)?

My H says it feels like a sin just looking at her.

My best friend says she is fat.

opinions please , curious to know where you stand.

Fat? no. Reasonable? yes. "plus-sized"? probably. She's, what, a 16 or 18 in UK sizing? Still, she has an hourglass. A rather nice one... Balanced body proportions. I can't find an ass pic?!

She's "TV Fat" - large compared to most of the waifs that take up screen time, but probably is well within the normal BMI/bodyfat range.

And I agree with your husband.

@Want2bFO your husband is a man.  Your best friend is presumably a woman.  'nuff said.

I didn't know who she was so I googled and daaaaang boobs. She's got the type of figure that can be flattering or not depending on what part you're looking at. Some pics looked fat, some looked curvy, some looked like higher end average.

redheaded_woman

Well, thank y'all very much!!!

Hadn't ever heard of her and I love her!!

Curvacious redheads FTW!!

Do you really mean to say average?

I am jumping off a bridge right now.

Mmm Christina Hendricks...

Wait, what were we talking about?

Some poster categorized her as higher than average. Average and Christina Hendricks dont belong in the same sentence.  OMG that made me nearly suicidal. I will read only your posts to save my self esteem.

I mean as far as her weight goes. In some pics she looked overweight, and in some she looked more average weight, though upper end of average weight. Are you still suicidal or do you prefer her as 100% fat?

I've seen her look slimmer or heavier depending on the outfit, just like a lot of celebrities. I remember one early ep of Mad Men where she was in a very unflattering fitted suit dress that highlighted her stomach in a not good way but generally she looks fantastic in the fashions of that time period. I loved the line from one scene where a minor character is nervous to even talk to her:  "She's so much woman!"

Pure sex on legs would be my assessment. Christina Hendricks is hot.

How times change... thing is men don't - this is H.O.T.

Time magazines definition of a perfect body, in 1955

Really reminds me of my JellyBean!  As in, she looks like this.  Oh yeah!

Thank you. This picture made my day. I can relate to / compete with this sort of beauty. :x

IDK, I worry they're not looking any lower than the boobs and then I can't. :-/

ETA- That's just my own insecurity. I feel the same way when people talk about Christina Hendricks, "It's just the boobs." Kicks rocks. lol  L-)

ETA2- IOW pictures like this don't make me feel any better, even thought I have a great HWR. A thinner more athletic body is something I can at least work toward attaining. (Not that I feel that bad really, I mean they're models and actresses which means they should be above average IMO. ~shrug~)
