[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love a hairy guy.  I know that I am probably in the minority, but I find it sexy and manly.  Guys with little to no body hair kind of creep me out.

Anyway, I have cellulite on my legs and I still go to the pool.  I like to consider it a community service.  Other women can look at me and feel better about themselves, if they so choose.  Sure I'd love to have a perfect body, but that isn't going to happen.  Life is about embracing what we are given and rolling with it.

I hope he can find a way (maybe therapy) to get over this and not let life and fun experiences pass him by because of low self esteem.[/quote]
Thanks PP, I guess you're my role model. Cellulite is one of those things, like a hairy back, that people snark on. How did you make peace with your self and get so confident? I am OP and I am innately, or was raised to be very confident. DH, on the other hand has a passive aggressive, appearances conscious mom who shamed him quite a bit. He was also, like 11 when it grew in, and a foot taller than the other kids, and just does not seem to have been able to make peace with it! [/quote]

PP here -- I had great parents who focused more on encouraging us to be well-rounded, kind people than how we looked.  Admittedly, I was a skinny kid and teen, so I didn't have to deal with those issues as an adolescent.  In my limited experience, people who grow up heavy  or ashamed of their appearance for some other reason (usually being shamed by a parent or classmate), have a much harder time shedding those self-esteem issues.  When we are young, we don't have the capacity to accept or process mean comments.  Ultimately, if people shun someone for being heavy, having a hairy back, or being unattractive -- the problem is theirs and not the problem of the person they are deriding.  I'm also pretty sure that most people are far more worried about who is looking at them than they are about looking at me.[/quote]
