Facts and Figures:
There are 3 billion women who don’t look like supermodels and only eight who do. (Love this one!)
Marilyn Monroe wore a size 14. (Go, Marilyn!)
If Barbie was a real woman, she’d have to walk on all fours due to her proportions.
The average woman weighs 144 lbs. and wears between a size 12-14.
One out of every four college-aged women has an eating disorder.
The models in the magazines are airbrushed - NOT perfect!
A psychological study in 1995 found that three minutes spent looking at a fashion magazine caused 70% of women to feel depressed, guilty, and shameful.
Models twenty years ago weighed 8% less than the average woman. Today they weigh 23% less.
The standard for an ideal female body in the media today is one that is more like an adolescent boy's body than like a real woman is supposed to look like. (Hmmm.....what does that say about the men who are attracted to them?)
BEAUTY OF A WOMAN
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,
The figure she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen from her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart,
The place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,
But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives,
The passion that she shows.
The beauty of a woman
With passing years - only grows.
An English professor wrote the words, “Woman without her man is nothing,” on the blackboard and directed the students to punctuate it correctly. The men wrote: “Woman, without her man, is nothing." The women wrote: “Woman! Without her, man is nothing.”
The Images of Mother
4 YEARS OF AGE ~ My Mommy can do anything!
8 YEARS OF AGE ~ My Mom knows a lot! A whole lot!
12 YEARS OF AGE ~ My Mother doesn’t really know quite everything.
14 YEARS OF AGE ~ Naturally, Mother doesn’t know that, either.
16 YEARS OF AGE ~ Mother? She’s hopelessly old-fashioned.
18 YEARS OF AGE ~ That old woman? She’s way out of date!
25 YEARS OF AGE ~ Well, she might know a little bit about it.
35 YEARS OF AGE ~ Before we decide, let’s get Mom’s opinion.
45 YEARS OF AGE ~ Wonder what Mom would have thought about it?
65 YEARS OF AGE ~ Wish I could talk it over with Mom.

| Posted 3/4/2004 9:45 PM (GMT -6) | | Those were great posts Tigress and Jeffrywith1e! Now for "the lighter side of the news", and since this thread seems to be devoted to women, I thought I might add these one liners.
Q: Who was the greatest female financier in the Bible?
A: Pharaoh's daughter: She went down to the bank of the Nile and drew out a little prophet. 
Q: What excuse did Adam give to his children as to why he no longer lived
in Eden?
A: Your mother ate us out of house and home.

I don't think men are so attracted to super models as women are; it's the clothes and all that they (women) wish they could wear and all that. Many men are attracted to that fuller Maryl ... Marylan ... that Monroe look! But you won't see super-model clothes on someone with that build, now, will you!
Oh, and I LOVED "The Images of Mother." I'm going to save that one!
