This just isn't true. And I say this as someone who recently went from a normal, not-overweight, tall size 8 to a skinny tall size 2. I'm able to pull off a more fashionable look and clothes generally look better on me now. But men appreciated my fuller body before the weight loss, I think, and I don't look any more elegant. In some cases I look less elegant- what's more feminine and evocative than a curvy figure in a black dress?

Christina Hendricks, Scarlett Johansson- these women define modern feminine elegance, and they are definitely not thin. [/quote]

men couldn’t care less about ‘elegant’. they want sexy, pretty, cute, fun - none of which has much to do with elegance and is often kind of opposed to it.

if elegant doesn’t play to your natural strengths then be what you are meant to be and dress accordingly. I sometimes wish I was more ‘elegant’ but I am
Short and way too animated for that. and that’s ok.[/quote]

Why are you bringing the male gaze and male attention into this? Who cares? I don't dress for men. I dress to please myself and to make the impression on the world that I want to make. [/quote]
