So, Sexy Is In? (Updated from 6/12/2014)

“What’s with you girls and feeling like you have to be perfect to go out in public?” he asked. “It’s not like it’s a sale barn and they weigh you before you can go in! Just because the rest of the school acts like there’s a weight limit on hotness doesn’t mean they’re right. Or that you need to buy into it.”

You betchya by golly wow!  Sexy is in. But let's really consider what we're looking at.  We have an image of a woman in a red dress, low-cut down to the top of her breasts.  Okay, so what lies below?  In my vast experience, there are quite a few attractive "full-figured" women.  So, let's consider what we can see.  

I see a woman who has taken the time to have her hair styled.  A woman that has spent a few bucks on a stylish outfit.  I see a woman who really knows how to accent the lips God gave her.  And, I see a woman who has practiced the art of the "come hither" pose.  So, I won't try to be delicate concerning my next comment.  

Her ass might be using the bar stool as a suppository, but, being a real man, all I see is a woman that gives shit how she looks.  She looks good.  

We pay too much attention to whether a woman measures up to the current "body type."  How about having a bit of self-respect and using the most of what God gave you?  I went through elementary, junior high, high school, and a couple of years of college, all with plus-sized women. It isn't always about looks.  Sometimes, it is about presentation.  Have you seen the "makeover" shows?  The transformations with the right makeup, hairstyle, and clothing are incredible!

God gave women a gift.  If a woman chooses to ignore her gift, she shouldn't cry foul when she can't find a man.  Stop hanging around bars with the rest of the trailer trash.  If you're looking for the ideal man, start dressing up.  Put on a little makeup, have your mop of hair styled, and learn how to walk, talk, and act.  We can address the seductive beads of perspiration on your chest and cleavage after we get approval for a follow-on date.  And just as a side note, the ideal man doesn't hang around bars looking for a life partner.  He's there to get laid... if he's got the right line.

Okay, I was just getting started.  Are you ready for the real rant?  (Big breath...)

Men, if you think you're immune from this, think again.  

Most of you slovenly miscreants couldn't find a quality woman because you rarely have the sober ability to part your ass cheeks long enough to pull your head out and take a breath of fresh air, much less bathe, shave, put on some clean threads, and, yes, learn to walk, talk, and act so a woman of any worth would give you a first, much less a second, look.  

Try getting a haircut and combing what's left.  Try wearing pants that don't droop half past your butt crack, and, by the way, boxer shorts worn in plain sight are not a fashion statement to anyone except the person wearing them.  It certainly isn't a sign of good breeding.   Let me say that all of this is aimed at the teenagers that do it.  You guys over thirty that do it, well, really?  GROW THE HELL UP!  The fact that you think you can act like you're eighteen is just, well, sad. Any woman that thinks a man acting like a teenager is "cute" needs a serious reality check.  

God was kind enough to give a man two heads. I think men should use the head with a brain in it occasionally.  Here's another thought. If you want to be really different, try acting like an adult, or at least like a person that gives one shit about who they are and where they are going in life.  Do this after you wake up from your drug or alcohol-induced coma... tomorrow morning.

The point here is simple.  Sexy has always been in.  It doesn't matter what your shape is.  It matters who you are and how you present yourself.  If your goal in life is to act like trailer trash, I respect that.  Go for it!  Don't bathe, don't brush your hair, don't get your teeth fixed, and don't shave your armpits. But please don't bitch to the rest of us about how miserable your life is.  

Or, you can try raising the bar.  After all, it is your life.

Okay, I think I'm done.

"It's not just about being healthy; it's also about loving who you are. If you don't love who you are, you are never going to feel 100 percent satisfied in life. It all starts with you. If you don't love you, nobody else is going to be able to."

Editor's Note

(Re: disclaimer cum "get out of jail free" card)

Before you go getting your panties in a bunch - it is essential to understand that this is just an opinion site and, as such, can be subjected to scrutiny by anyone with a differing opinion. It doesn't make either view any more right or wrong than the other. Opinion, presented in this context, is a way of inciting others to think and, hopefully, to form their own opinions if they haven't already done so. This is also why, occasionally, I will present an "opinion" just to stir an emotional pot. Where it may sound like I agree with the statements made, I'm more interested in getting others to consider an alternate viewpoint.

I fervently hope that we keep open and active minds when reading opinions and while engaging in peaceful and constructive discussion, in an arena of mutual respect, concerning those opinions offered. After over twenty years of military intelligence, I believe that engaging each other in this manner, and in this arena, is the way we will learn tolerance and respect for differing beliefs, cultures, and viewpoints.

We all fall from grace, some more often than others; it is part of being human. God's test for us is what we learn from the experience... and what we do afterward.
