So is this supposed to be the epitome of feminine beauty?

We should all be white, with long blonde hair and approximately 135 lbs?

Yes. All paintings are orders that everyone in the world must look like the person depicted in it. It's also shaming people who cant fly or blow hurricanes out of their mouths

I didn't post that picture but if you can't tell the person is showing that "maybe 23% body fat, with a bit of a tummy, hips, thighs, and just more meat on me overall" is a feminine beauty ideal that goes way, way back, I don't know how to help you.

All these PPs trying to convince OP her boyfriend is a chubby chaser or she must be obese because he isn't looking for someone with a six pack to match his are the crazies on the thread.

No one is doing that. That is you projecting.

It’s because I really don’t know how it’s relevant to this conversation.

People are talking about how their partners like them overweight. That person in the painting isn’t overweight.

OP literally and explicitly said her partner prefers her in the normal weight range, and you're trying to pathologize that. Either you have an agenda or you simply cannot read.

Several posters responded, saying their partners like them to be overweight. I’m not only responding to what OP said.

Have you been following this thread at all?

Well the OP talked about being normal weight, so just like the woman personified as the ideal of feminine beauty in the painting.

Man, has this thread triggered some people or brought out the crazies or what?!

^that was directed to the person above the last PP, obviously. Not that PP, but the one before it.

That way you never have to worry about turning down a good cheese plate and a nice glass of wine! Love it!

Yes, my dh likes me just a bit overweight. I like it better too!

Umm ... no it hasn’t been.

Yes, it has. Are you the same poster who's been going on nonstop about how 115 and 5'5 is not underweight? Because... maybe it's time to push back from the computer and take a walk. That will burn calories and keep you from gaining weight, which I'm sure you're thrilled about.

No, I’m the PP who said 5’5’’ 115 is nearly underweight (it’s 3 lbs away from being clinically underweight).

But take one look at any TV show or movie. How many chubby girls do you see?

Right, but I said "long".. as in for a very long time. Aka I'm not talking about a TV show filmed within the past 5 years.

And I actually see a fair amount of "normal weight" girls on TV more and more.

Show me a TV show filmed in the last 50 years that has a chubby girl on it as a main character. The only one I can think of is Roseanne.

I never said "chubby", I said normal weight. I would say a few of the girls on Riverdale, just off the top of my head, would fall into that category. I dont watch much TV, tbh, so my list of references is fairly short. But I know that's a big one.
