Why's there always a pressure for females to stay slim?

Is it our obsession & drive for perfection? As a way to prove it? Why is being overweight looked down upon

Because society has shoved down our throats from porn, modeling, and fashion that skinny is best. Even look at the pictures of women posted in the topic How Do I Look. All perfectly skinny with small perky boobs, long legs, lush lips, and almond shaped eyes. It has even brainwashed men into thinking skinny means perfection and healthy due to what I said in my first sentence. The women that are perfectly skinny have the most followers.

If you don't have a flat stomach like myself, you're immediately labeled as lazy and unhealthy. Everyone in this world thinks they're a certified Doctor or Dietician.

I said this millions of times.

Skinny doesn't necessarily mean fit and healthy (as some have high metabolism), and being chubby doesn't necessarily mean lazy and unhealthy.

I said this too: You look like shit, you get treated like shit. You look beautiful, you get treated beautifully.

Conventional beauty standards are fueled by hollywood models and actresses. They don’t like fatter girls unless they’re funny, I could go into a long feminist spiel about why the patriarchy needs more pretty women than they do handsome men but I’m sure that would bore you. The obsession comes from the societal pressure that women must be inherently better-looking than any man at all times.

I think the pressure on the joints, heart and bones from obesity is higher...

You also failed to mention the pressure on people to accept obesity through the fat acceptance movement.

It's about being healthy. Being overweight is unhealthy. That's why it's looked down upon. And most people would never date an obese person which is okay (I wouldn't either, I am thin).

Just like drugs are looked down upon...

Çünkü toplumda bir güzellik algısı vardır. Unfortunately :(

[skyla_is_learning]

because there is a perception of beauty in society
