stereotypes
OK, I've been guilty of this myself, so don't anyone
think I'm preaching or something please.
Recently I've been seeing/hearing comments along
the lines of "skinny, in-shape women are narcissic,
stupid and stuck-up." Why is a woman who takes care
of her body automatically assumed to be lacking in all other
areas? Does it make people feel better to assume that a woman
who looks good must be stupid? Or doing unhealthy things
to stay that way?
I don't believe all heavy people are jolly and kind,
anymore than I believe they are healthier than skinny folks.
Carrying too many extra pounds just isn't healthy,
just like having anorexia isn't. Nor are bigger people
necessarily lazy or dirty. Different types of personalities
come in different bodies.
Guess what I'm trying to say is don't judge a book
by it's cover. A beautiful woman may be a nurse, a cop
or a college professor....or she may not be. Until you talk
to them you really don't know.
