Spanx - the modern day torture device

This thread was a heck of a lot more fun when it was about Peanut Butter, Miracle Whip and dirty laundry

For the record it took me 20 years to convert DH from Skippy (yuck) to Laura Scudders Natural or Trader Joes natural - crunchy is preferred but I buy smooth for DD who refuses to eat crunchy because she is a pain in the neck that way, just like her father

Spanx-love em. No women over 40 should leave home without them.

I have many hidden talents. Parodying random songs is one of my better ones.

I see beauty in almost everyone. I think most people do. The obese and underweight can look just as beautiful as someone of the ideal weight. I find inner beauty way way way more important than outer beauty and it irks me when I hear someone act like outer beauty (especially if it needs to conform to a certain type of beauty) is more important. But, maybe someone who thinks outer beauty is more important, is annoyed by my extolling inner beauty. They're free to tell me why they don't agree, of course.

Now whether being significantly over and under weight is usually healthy is another matter. I would never split up with someone because of their health, but if you would, feel free to blast me.

I don't think anyone finds it MORE important than inner beauty. It's just what we happen to be discussing. I wouldn't date a narcissist just because he looked like a Greek god.

The light hearted part of this thread is hysterical.

The other part - I thought this was interesting given the back and forth - you have to listen to the end:

Wow, that was so heartfelt. Thank you.

I could see a collaboration in the future...As long as she doesn't steal my shine.

Spanx-love em. No women over 40 should leave home without them.

My mom grew up in the days of girdles. She told me that most of the girls from her HS wore them. They also had zero muscle tone in their bellies because of them. They never used their stomach muscles. I wonder if the same applies to those who use Spanx every day?


To bring it back to Peanut Butter. My DH prefers Chunky. Do you think he gets it? Nope. Or least not often. The three other people in our house prefer creamy. And we prefer Peter Pan. It was a real hardship for us when they stopped producing it for about a year. We never did find another brand that we liked as much.

I'm sorry if you felt I flamed you. You and I seem to be very, very different. If I went too far, I apologize.

Nah its no biggie, I use flame in a light hearted sense of the word. I realize I get flamed a lot on here being one of the few guys to crash the lady party, so its OK I can take my punishment like a big boy.

So Im not trying to stick up for anyone. People are attracted to what people are attracted to. However, I think we have developed a tolerance because we have love for that person. There were ALL kinds of "deal breakers" I had in mind when I was single. Now I just roll my eyes and buy him his own jar of juice and peanut butter and never share the bathroom with him, lol.

I think we are also a point hardwired to be attracted like I love a man with big shoulders but also glasses(I like them a little nerdy) and my husband likes a woman that fills out the top of her tshirt. Those are just preferences and with that along with love comes tolerance for other things. I mean real love and not the last 5 minutes because you are hot love. His tune could change later with a real love, should he find it.

Im not sure why all is harping on him now. He has been discussing his preferences for a couple of years now.

That begs the question though, is that really him?

For all we know, he could be an 84 year old woman trolling the boards. Heck, he might even be an overweight, short haired old woman in flat heels!

Except he's being serious. He's coming off as a chauvinistic pig and men like that really bother me because they alone are responsible for the completely backwards standards of beauty and all the girls with low self esteem because they can't reach it.

And I didn't have to stalk him. His picture is right there as his avatar for everyone to see. It saddens me how many wonderful girls he may have misses out on simply because they weren't skinny enough or had too short hair or weren't wearing heels. Good for them for dodging such a bullet but sad and lonely for him. Which any shallow person deserves.

Exactly. Inner beauty goes a long way. I have met MANY beautiful people that were so ugly and hideous on the inside. I feel sorry for those people.

So true! Never know. LOL!

I actually think that women are way more critical of themselves and other women than men are. Girls are so much meaner to each other than men are to them. Been to a middle or high school lately?

Men may have some general physical attributes they prefer, but inside of their guidelines, I find them to be pretty flexible.

I'd have to agree with this. I think most heterosexual men (the only kind I have ever had intimate dealings with) are far less fussy about what their women look like than their women are. They may fantasize about having a Barbie doll-type at their beck and call, but they will snuggle down with pretty much any woman who meets their physical and emotional needs. I see plenty of obese women getting married and having children, so SOMEONE must think they are worthwhile.

Women, in general, don't dress for men, they dress for women. I bet most men would have a hard time guessing a woman's weight and dress size at first glance, but a woman is usually pretty spot on. We are our own worst enemies.

FWIW, I am a very heavy woman...now...It wasn't always this way. I didn't start gaining weight until my 40s, after Christian was born, my DH became disabled, my older son had a psychotic break and peri-menopause set in *lucky me!* Unfortunately, I completely let go spiritually, physically and emotionally for a while and here I am. Thankfully, I have a great DH who looks beyond the physical outsides. He still loves the girl he married and does everything he can to build me up(expect when it comes to the TV remote ) I am trying to get a handle on my health now and it's a bit like turning the Titanic around. But I'll get there eventually. And it's nice to know that my DH didn't give up on my when I wasn't at my size 4 best! I think maybe he deserves a vacation cruise for that!

I recently cut thirteen inches of my almost waist long hair. It's now barely brushing my shoulders. Guess what? I hate how I look with short hair but its so easy and cool. Long hair is heavy and gives constant headaches. I also donated my cut hair to locks of love. But women that do things like that for ease, comfort, and charity are just not for you because a woman should be hungry, have a headache from ten pounds of hair and corns on her feet from the heels. THEn she's marriage material. Got it.

ETA: you can do something about that baldness. Get some Rogain or hair plugs. How dare you not take care of your hair!!! Throw a rug on it cueball!

Well I'm not bald so I don't have that issue. I don't consider touching the shoulders to be short. I meant a short guys haircut. Shoulder length is just fine. But again, these are just my opinions. You don't necessarily have to take them as the gold standard.
