Why is a girl more respected if she's thin/fit?

What's wrong being a bit chubby?

Nothing is wrong with being chubby! But I will admit you are right that our social media and society places a lot of burden on those who may be fluffier than the fit model they show us.

Even Yahoo has too many articles showing the girls, young ladies, and veteran actresses in as little clothing as possible. Young girls and ladies are always being forced to live up to that stand. The rest of society then gets caught up in the same vision of beauty.

Most of us (yes including men) could lose a few pounds. We just need to realize our size has nothing to do with what kind of person we are.

It implies that she works for what she wants. If she is overweight then she works less than she needs to. Less trustworthy

She fits the beauty standards & what media has portrayed as the norm. People disguise it with healthy vs unhealthy, while completely ignoring the fact that weight isn't the only factor in health.

I guess when your thin or fit your looked at like you have discipline. there's nothing wrong with a little fat as long as its not hurting your health too much.

Nothing wrong with being a little chubby. Most guys actually prefer a little meat on the bones rather than a skeleton.

A bit chubby is different than fat/obese which are usually not respected as much because most people don't like them. Most people like the standard of your fit/thin/thick. Because it appeals as effort to some

It's not wrong, it's just better for most people when other people are fit and thin.
Same for guys.
Actually, fit takes the crown with guys.

Why are you so bothered by other people having standards when you have the same standards?

It shows self control, discipline, and value in one's self.

Thin is one thing, but being fit shows willpower and healthiness.
