Last night, on MySpace, I wrote about the way society expects women to look. This morning, I was listening to the radio, and they had the "guy panel," and they were answering questions from women who called the show. There were a few questions that were a little stupid, but one question was very interesting. She asked, "Would you rather an overweight woman who is confident in herself or a woman with an amazing body that has no confidence?" Guess what the guys said, "How overweight?" I suppose that question make sense to ask, but at the same time, it seems like they were asking to avoid sounding like complete jackasses. What really made them sound like jackasses was when one of the women on the show asked, "Let's say that you've found the perfect girl, but she's a little overweight...like 5 pounds. What's the deal breaker for you? How much weight would she have to put on before you break up with her?" Okay, first of all, you don't notice 5 pounds. Second, one of the guys said, "20 pounds." Goodness...he would throw away the perfect girl because of a little weight. I mean, of course, no guy is going to want a fat girlfriend, but aren't they always saying how confidence is what makes a woman sexy? In fact, later in the show, they were asked what makes one woman better in bed than another? And they said, "Confidence." Oy...I can't decide if I appreciate them for their honesty or if they're just the type of guys that women should avoid.
