Faye is curvy
SayWhat:
Not just you, trust me. Physical attractiveness is important, I'm not going to deny that. I have this 'thing' about body hair, I just cannot stand it. At all.
At least I couldn't, until I found the guy I'm with now. He's so sweet and funny, and he kind of just 'gets me', that even though he has chest hair, I find myself able to ignore it because his personality and the way he cares for me trumps something that grosses me out immensely.
There's this guy at my school however, who I absolutely cannot stand. He's a homophobic, racist asshole. He, however, has the body of a male model. Utterly gorgeous. But his attitude and behavior make him so unattractive to me because I just cannot stand him. I nearly beat him upside the head with a textbook because he was mouthing off and I just wanted to smash him.
There's also nothing wrong with saying that you prefer curvier chicks. I personally do as well. When that crosses over into rudeness, though, is instead of saying "I like hourglass women" you say "Skinny women are just so disgusting. Those anorexic whores! Only women with curves are real women!" and etc.
That's when it pisses people off. Nothing wrong with saying one type of body is beautiful, I believe we, as a society, need to reinforce that curvier women are beautiful too.
The way to do that, however, is not to tear down skinny women. Phrases like "Real women have curves" are insulting and rude. I don't understand why we can't just promote both body types, or hell, all healthy body types as being beautiful. This may sound too after school special, but I don't think we need to tear down others to make ourselves feel better. Y'know?

somebody needs to make a thread "Marten is a twig," if it doesn't already exist. i know maybe two boys built like him. but I digress.
Faye is in fact curvy. There aren't any girls in the comic right now who are above maybe a size 6 and that's ok with me. I draw people a lot, comics and notcomics, and very thin people are just much easier to draw. There's less squash/stretch to worry about, and there's less advanced anatomy to worry about in order to go from stick figure planning to realistic-ish drawing. The same goes for very muscular characters. Probably why (with plenty of good exceptions out there) most comic characters are very thin or drawn in a style which depicts everyone as twiggy.

--- Quote from: tuna ketchup x on 22 Nov 2008, 13:12 ---I agree, but I could do without the fat jokes. In real life, Faye would be a petite girl with big knockers and hips, the rest of the women would be in an eating disorder ward. Yeah, I know, it's just a comic and not drawn to scale, but it still sorta irks me as a big knocker girl.

hey, don't sweat it - if you've got a faye-esque figure, be happy. speaking for myself and, i think, most guys, yours is the most attractive kinda figure.

No, it isn't. People will always say it is, because they don't like to feel shallow, but we're all just kidding ourselves.

Yeah, no. Looks are important. This is true. But as has been stated, personality trumps all. I wouldn't go out with a lady who thought the Holocaust was a TOTALLY COOL EVENT and who burns crosses on Sunday or whatever, because that's some fucked up stuff.
kabukiman:
Well, the looks is the must important thing until the other person hopen his/her mouth. After that, if he/she is a total creep, no good look will save the bad impression, if the person is a normal, several factors will influence the opinion about the person (the mood of both people, having similar tastes or having too much diferent opinions, etc).

Yes to this thread topic.
