Search Results: acne on back

Basically, like how plus size models are becoming more normalized and whatnot.
Ashley Graham made headlines when she was featured in that Sports Illustrated magazine.
Tess Holliday also made a name for herself in the plus and modeling community.

Then there are these models posting break downs about how much scars they have and how it's damaging to think they're perfect etc.

Do you like the "normal/average" models or do you prefer them to be the best of the best?

Personally, I feel like a lot of the "diverse" models are just being shoehorned in for "diversity sake". It's kinda like AA, where the minority/women quota just means they get mediocre people as opposed to the more qualified. I'm not saying that minorities can't be qualified, however. Just that many mediocre make the cut because of a quota.

But I feel that's what's happening with these models too. Sure, don't feel bad that you have scars or stretchmarks. But I don't see why it's so necessary to keep emphasizing it. It's starting to become cliche. Don't get me wrong, a lot of them are beautiful and talented. But not all yet they still make it because of their "diversity novelty".

And call me shallow, because I am, but I don't want to see someone like me modeling. Acne is not attractive lol
I want to see someone attractive modeling so I can imagine it's best potential. Those sexy panties or dress or whatever, I want to see it on a hot chick so I can *feel* like a hot chick too when I buy it lol
I am glad that they are cutting back on photoshop though. And I am glad they're including "diverse" beauties like Ashley Graham, yes I think she's extremely attractive. I just don't care much for when it's "forced".

Keep in mind that all this diversity and body positivity gave us this goddess lol:

Okay, so I recently started a new job (about two months ago). And there is this dude who has said hi to me pretty much every day. He learned my name quickly. That said we've never really had like an actual conversation because we work in a big store, but also in different departments. Though we're often on the same schedule so we pass each other by a lot, and basically say "Hey, how are you doing?" and move on.
I only recently started wearing make up, and it's pretty light, just some stuff to cover up my acne, and lip gloss, and light eye liner. Today he stopped me and asked if I was wearing lip gloss, I said yes. He said that he liked it and to keep it up. And then on my way back up to the front to get to my register (I'm a cashier), he passed me, smiled and was like "I'll be thinking of you!"
And then on my lunch break is when he came into work to begin with, he came over and asked to borrow a dollar for the vending machine. He promised to repay it before I left, and he just doesn't seem like that guy who stiffs people out of dollars, so I was like "whatever" and just gave it to him. And if he did, it wouldn't have been a big deal to ME, like I'd be kinda mad, but yeah, it's not like it's a $20.
Anyway, he DID repay me. While I was at my register, he came right up behind me, and rather than just handing me the dollar, he slid it into the pocket of my work vest, said "Have a good one" and left.
Is it possible he likes me?
