Alright. I can’t take it. So much pressure! The media, hollywood, men and heck, other women create so much pressure. Maybe we put it on ourselves…I tend to stress myself out. What do men want? What do we expect out of other women?
To name a few things
we expect women to be… or should I rephrase that–
women, we expect to be…
-maternal but sexy
-feminine and girly but if a woman likes sports, she’s a needle in a haystack
-independent but not so much that she seems aloof, standoffish or like she’s a snob
-thin but not anorexic (what is this fine line? …excuse me while I just grab my BMI chart will you..thanks.)
-we’re supposed to have sex drives but don’t want to show that too soon or we’ll be labeled as “easy”
-as squeaky clean as plastic (sometimes literally…)–think Barbie, ladies- but al natural and boho
-tall with legs a mile long but then again, petite is “in”…like it’s a trend and something that people can decide like lip gloss
-to strategically take care of herself by perhaps “marrying up” but not be a golddigger…
Maybe it just goes to show that all types of men like all types of women …but jeez it can be a challenge to figure out what works. Beauty is everywhere–but it breaks my heart to see women who just can’t seem to see it in themselves and instead compare themselves incessantly to ridiculous ideals and arbitrary standards.
