If a company used larger models to promote their products (say, lingerie), would that make women feel better or worse about themselves?

What they have found out may be true, but I think a nice mixture of thin (not skinny bones type) models and thicker modes show that all woman are beautiful and deserve a chance in the spot light. We should just have "models". Why do they have to be put into stereotypes like skinny, thin, fat, or thick.

I think the biggest problem is when they let women model clothes that are so thin that you can almost see through them and see their every bone. That is just disgusting and can't be pretty to anyone.

Before I watched the video my thought was that the larger models make people more aware that they are larger. They look and think wow, she's sort of big.. and then look back at themselves and say oh.. wow.. i'm bigger than her.. I can only imagine what people think when they look at me. Seems that's close to what the study revealed.

That being said seeing pretty thin women never made me feel unattractive.. I think as long as we teach our children there is more than one way to be beautiful.. there's no problem.

I know what they say is true, because I used to be really skinny, and am now 30 lbs. Overweight. I look at skinny models, and wish I could be skinny again, and look at thick women and think they are fat and out of control, like me.

When I was skinny, I thought it was nice that they were having plus size models, and only noticed skinny models if they were totally anorexic like Kate Moss. No one likes to see themselves as they are, so when we see thicker models, it's too much like looking in a mirror, and let's face it ... no matter how you dress them or make them up, they're still overweight.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
