Why being skinny isn't so much fun (or why it sometimes isn't so good)

Mostly everyone tries to be skinny. A lot of my friends would give everything to be as skinny as the girls from Germany's / America's / or whatever country next Topmodel. Some of them even are. But - let's be honest - trying to be / being skinny isn't always fun.

Sure, when you are taking pictures and trying on clothes or ... well actually I can't think of another situation in which being skinny is really nice. Sure, you enjoy yourself and others compliment you because of your current body-condition. But what about all the other situations you get through during your day? Like eating, drinking, sleeping on your side, enjoying the stuff that you are currently doing, watching TV, flirting with an amazing looking guy? You don't need to be skinny for that.

You are now probably thinking: "What, why isn't 'flirting with an amazing looking guy' on the list of the positive sides of being skinny???" Well, I asked a lot of my male friends and all of them told me that the body of a girl isn't really important. Okay, if you are extremely fat, it probably isn't very attaching. But I am trying to tell you that if you are normal and healthy you don't need to be skinny. And all the boys that I asked told me that they first check if they are liking the attitude of a girl and her smile. And then they look at her face, to see if her eyes are attractive for him. And after all of this - and they probably started talking to you by then and realized what an amazing character you have - they are looking at your body. And if you are having some pounds too much, it wouldn't ruin your attitude.

And just to mention it: Skinny girls are often seen as unhealthy, ill or/and unattractive. A lot of people think that these girls just think about how they look and their weight. Which leads to less interest. 

9 out of the 10 boys I asked are more up for a normal, slightly overweight girl than for a skinny one. Just because they connect skinny with not funny and humorous.

So: To everyone (boy or girl) who thinks while being skinny you would be better "ranked" at the ranking scale of the opposite: Bullshit! Just be yourself and try to be positive. Your future husband should be loving you for your personality - not for your skinniness.
