I'm tall, 5 10', and i was rejected once for it. he's like 'well you're just too tall for me'.
I'm chill with how I look, I feel good about myself inside and out, and I think people see a happy person and are more attracted to that.No one is perfect, I could name a hundred imperfections with myself, but I don't let it bother me, i'm just trying to be a human being, ya know?

tall chicks are hot. i don't even look at girls that are shorter than 5'7" and if they try to talk to me, i kill them.

anyways my only problem with female body images is when the chicks have clothes on in the picture. what's that about?

that was the question right

Yeah! Women shouldn't be ashamed of their bodies. There's no need to wear clothes, I say we ban women's clothing.


Now men on the other hand.....no one wants to see mens clothing banned, not even women

:lol:
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.


And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

Oh so you're definition is the same. You're just not very good at it.

The "for the purposes of entertainment" is the part you are often missing.

read the pm, champ. if i weren't so afraid of your trigger happy ban finger, i'd let you know how i really feel right now. but unfortunately

ok, so you guys didn't think it was funny. strange, i wonder if any of you laughed at the family guy episode when peter wore that shirt? or at the simpsons one etc...

didn't mean to hurt any feelings. as far as i know, the "no fat chicks" has been around for lik 25 years and was kind of a kitschy bit of pop culture. but if i'm wrong, somebody let me know.

axe...to...grind?
