Unhealthy self-image isn’t helped by unhealthy standards.

Wanna know what guys like? Ask a guy.

Too many women have a messed-up idea of what men find attractive.

Much of this, I pointed out to the women at my table, would be cleared up if they simply asked one of us.

So S asked. I answered. They didn’t believe me. The other guys at the table agreed with me; but the women simply refused to accept it because they had never heard such things before.

How messed up have the fashion magazines made this generation of women?

Recently N pointed out that it’s not just the fashion magazines; it’s the porn. The fashion magazines take their cues from popular pornography as to what men like. Therefore if you follow the magazines’ tips, you’re unconsciously contributing to the warped view of sexuality that porn encourages.

That certainly does explain a lot. Disturbing, huh?

Ben couldn’t resist the opportunity to rip on Bethany students:

I agree with you completely on this women thing. I do sit back and laugh just for a minute because it’s kind of funny—people going through a lot of crap for a lie. Wait, that sounds like the spiritual lives of most Bethany students. Sorry, random correlation.
