"All Bodies Are Beautiful." True or False?

[MCheetah]

True

False

[talover]

Although beauty is subjective in nature and changes with the norms of society, think Renaissance period, today many would consider an obese body unappealing and unattractive. Although there are men who prefer their women with meat on their bones, and vise versa, the majority will have a preference for a fit, slim or toned body. Such body features communicate that one takes care of themselves and are mindful of their health or vanity (maybe both). While an obese body may communicate that they don't take care of themselves or have unhealthy living habits.

On the flip side of the topic, there are those who might find both extremes unappealing. There are those that may prefer body types that are in the middle of the spectrum, think mom bods and dad bods; not thin and slim, not big and obese but just thick enough to hold body form and sex appeal but with a bit of extra padding around the edges.

By the way, a fun fact, there is such a thing as a category called BBW (Big, Beautiful, Women) in porn and apparently there is a huge market for this type of content. Do what you will with that information 😁

Flase, I garuntee if I post naked pictures of my ugly ass I will scar people for life 😆

Look, I think this depends on your perspective. All bodies are miraculous, because they are an expression of life. So there is a kind of 'meta-beauty' in all bodies in that way.

However, bodies which are unhealthy and have not been cared for typically aren't as attractive as healthy bodies.

Some of this has to do with relativity and the 'eye of the beholder'. A super fit woman might judge an obese man's body as unattractive, however an obese woman might find the same man's body beautiful, since she resonates with that body shape.

The body positivity movement is a good thing to the extent that it allows people to stop hating their bodies and care for themselves better. That said, the message can be twisted to become an excuse for remaining unhealthy. That is obviously problematic.

[Sonorous]

Very well said! 🥂

[NicoletteXO]

@Sonorous thank you :)

[Sonorous]

no prob

[Heytherelyla]

Generally speaking yes. Every body is beautiful but not ever body is attractive to everybody. So it really depends. I know some guys are into curvy women, others into very skinny women and even others into "thick" girls...
The most important thing is eating healthy, being happy and loving to your self and your body <3<3

[Sonorous]

I don't like that statement. It takes a linear approach/over-simplifies a complex situation at the expense of the truth. The truth is that not all bodies are beautiful & not all bodies are ugly. It's a relative & subjectively based thing where the effects of it can be observed & defined in the objective world.

Something can't be beautiful or ugly outside subjective perception, so it will always be a thing of preference or bias. But based on what we have observed, there are collectively agreed-upon preferences that define the most aesthetic/beautiful bodies. And since that's possible, it naturally &/or inadvertently highlights the other end of the spectrum. The most unappealing/ugly bodies.

If this wasn't a thing, then there wouldn't be such strong recurring patterns. For instance, everyone familiar with the entertainment industry would know how to easily describe what a top-paid model would look like. And that alone confirms everything I've just said. Because we as a species define it through our actions. Not a minority in denial.

[Sonorous]

I do want to add that if someone has the opinion for themselves that all bodies are beautiful, then assuming we can rely on their self-report to be accurate to how they act in the world (which isn't common), then that would just be true for them. But as I referenced, they're the minority. And the denial bit was in response to if a person says the statement as if it's an objective thing.

TRUE, ALL BODIES ARE BEAUTIFUL
1. Beauty only exist AND when there is no beauty perceived then there is a lack of perceived beauty. Since beauty is subjective there must be beauty there but it must be perceived or recognized, meaning ugliness does not exist only lack of perceived beauty. To say, everyone is beautiful is objective and true under this new higher awareness. Furthermore, everyone is endlessly beautiful according to the truth of abundance which affects all things.
And it is that very truth that rids of any minute argument against this train of thought. Unfortunately, our inability to perceive beauty is what makes beauty subjective. In other words, our flaw as humans is that we fail to develop sufficient perception ( one of our mental faculties) to allow us to see the beauty in all things that is already there.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Well objectively no, because some bodies are ridden with diseases, and death isn't beautiful.

Aside from diseases, objectively yes, because beauty from an arbitrary visual stance is subjective, and it stands to reason every form has admirers.

Subjectively no, because my genetics are picky about what I find visually apealing, sexually or not.

Objectively speaking though, subjective beauty is the only opinion others can give thats going to impact anyone. So no is the logical final answer.

[CuriousJC]

My opinion yes. Women come in all shapes and sizes, only gentlemen like me prefers to understand a woman's inner beauty instead of men focusing on women's outer beauty. Here's an example: Remember what Shorty did to the woman in Scary Movie 2? He was terrified of the woman's inner beauty and put a paper bag over her head and just focus on her outer beauty. That's what some men do, they focus on a woman's outer beauty and body only then move to the next woman. In my relationships, with women I tell them not to hold back both body and mind to the point where my family asked me what happened to me and I tell them that I had an accident with some stairs.

[BlueWalker]

Of course. No matter what body type, there is always someone out there who loves and/or prefers that body type. Some body types may be preferred or "accepted" more than others, but they are all loved by someone. Myself, I have a VERY wide range of body types I find attractive, so I see beauty everywhere. Ultimately, beauty is an incredibly wide and complex spectrum, and beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder. It's as subjective as a person's favourite colour or favourite food.

[RavenBlade]

Women can change their hair length, hair color, or boob size, but I think they're appealing to a different audience. There really is no net gain. I think a BBW is much more attractive than an anorexic, but other's would see it differently.

I did see where a guy mentioned the health aspect on your thread, but that's not what you asked about.

[224466881010]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You could argue that society on average comes up with a set of beauty standards, but I don't think it's helpful to try to establish an objective standard of beauty.

Are all bodies healthy? That's a question you can sink your teeth into. There's a fuzzy but objective answer for that.

[ODC2112]

You can say, every Bodies could be beautiful for someone, but not all Bodies are beatifull, because you implicitly negate that beautifulness is subjective.

[MCheetah]

Good point.

[t-8900]

I'll never shame someone for their body. I can have my opinions and still keep them to myself and be respectful. I dont expect people to accept me and I dont want you bsing me saying i'm beautiful when you dont mean it.

[Lliam]

I definitely think NOT. The sight of some bodies is traumatizing. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

[OlderAndWiser]

If all bodies are beautiful, then calling someone beautiful loses its meaning. This is just another stupid PC idea from the same crowd that developed participation ribbons in lieu of first, second, and third place trophies.

[RavenBlade]

I know people who think that pineapples on pizza is disgusting. Are they wrong? I think anchovies on pizza is disgusting, am I wrong? I know a guy who has a pet tarantula. What the fuck? Why?

I think it really is in the "eye of the beholder."

[Frank_Woods]

We shouldn't be promoting unhealthy bodies. Obesity is a real thing. So is excessive underweightness. I just wouldn't make fun of people without giving them real advice like, "hey stop eating 20 hamburgers a week."

[getdatbooty]

It really depends. Technically they all are because there will always be someone put there who will find you attractive.

But some people have bodies that will be deemed as unattactive by most of the population, so you could say that they are not beautiful by most people at least

For others, half they people they meet may find them beautiful, while the other half will not

It is kind subjective

[ARWINGx1]

I'm voting on true because... well, although I prefer slimmer (or at least towards the general "hot" term) bodies, my brother's girlfriend is a Chubby.

[Anonymous]

If my wife turned into the thumbnail, I wouldn't be grossed out. That being said, too much past her would be a disappointment. She is definitely an extreme, but a manageable extreme. That is the absolute max for me, but yeah obesity is not appealing and 40lbs less is better.

[ChiPaPa]

Nope. Guaranteed, if I post my picture, I'd be rated 4/10 at best.

[litty]

Whether people agree or not, the fact is that everyone is stuck in their own body and it's their right to love it. There's no one who won't grow old or gain weight, so don't dare take that away.

[BlackManIsGod]

not true, but that's no reason to be a dick to other people.

also she has some big ass tiddies yes sirrrr

[DWornock]

Of course not. Even 4s, like the big girl in the photo, are attractive to some people. However, 1s and 2s are not attractive to anyone, not even other 1s and 2s.

[ashkyl]

I love how all the men say false when most of them haven't looked at themselves in the mirror or whine about how girls always reject them.

All healthy working bodies are beautiful. Men shouldn't judge, other women shouldn't judge. And also, beauty is subjective so what one might find attractive, the next person might not.

[MCheetah]

@ashkyl
All the men say false BECAUSE they have looked in the mirror and know this wouldn't apply towards themselves.
