Wed, 01/11/2012 - 09:32 Visitor Using adult actresses and nude models to infer what heterosexual men prefer in women’s looks

"I admire your patience in dealing with the attacks and poor arguments"

Same here also!

Wed, 01/11/2012 - 09:16 Visitor Eva Gaëlle Green

Eric is not attacking anyone or saying anything of what yr saying, Randy, and you should read and understand the site before attacking the author. It's NOT about homosexuality or befriending curvier women, sorry to disappoint yr limited understandind. ALL HE'S SAYING IS THAT GAY DESIGNERS PREFER WOMEN THAT LOOK LIKE TALL THIN BOYS, WHICH HE THEN BACKS UP WITH RESEARCH, WHICH IS ALSO BACKED UP BY SOME MODELS IN THE INDUSTRY ONLINE- WHO HAVE NO REASON TO LIE. That's ALL he's saying, nothing more and nothing less. He then suggests alternatives and solutions to the problem for women and men who want a more normal and healthy AND realistic image for women and prefer HEALTHY THIN WITH OR WITHOUT CURVES DEPENDING ON BODY SHAPE RATHER THAN SICKY EMACIATED WOMEN DYING COZ THEY ARE WAY TOO THIN!!

You need to understand things and just coming here to attack because you don't like what he's saying or don't agree with it makes you look foolish and ill informed, and does NOTHING to prove that what YOU'RE saying is true either!!

Attacking others does nothing to prove what you say is true; if you disagree with the argument then refute the argument with a convincing counter argument than attacking the person. You just sound foolish with a personal agenda. Wake up and grow up.

Actress Karen Gillian does look great , feminine and healthy slim! But of course she'd be too "fat" and "feminine" for the nutty designers so they'd never use her!! They'd definitely use a girl looking like the guy Smith her co star as you said, if he lost more weight, he'd be thin and masculine enough- provided he's then not too "old" for them! Hah! Great point nice girl! You're SO right sadly and ironically! You made me laugh.. Great post! And great site Eric! Keep up the good work and ignore the rants- some ppl just can't acknowledge that some things might be true just because they're not PC so they resort to attacking yr character, I'd just ignore them if I were you but it's yr call. Good luck.

Wed, 01/11/2012 - 08:47 Visitor ACNielsen report: Majority of global consumers find female fashion models "too thin"

Regardless of ppl having different standards though, the point is MOST people of the general public and straight community - men or women- find most fashion models TOO SKINNY as there is a BIG DIFFERENCE between SICKLY SCARY DYING THIN as embodied by FASHION MODELS many of whom HAVE DIED for their jobs as seen in the news recently and tragically- and between HEALTHY FIT NORMAL SLIM by normal women in society. This stands true even taking other factors into account. And the reason is obvious. But I doubt it will change soon unless the writer of this site can get through to more ppl.

Wed, 01/11/2012 - 08:41 Visitor 5 resolutions to transform the fashion and beauty industries

To Martha your comments are biased and uncalled for, you need to address the arguments in a rational detached way and come up with counter arguments, refute facts with facts, not attack the writer just because you don't agree with his findings. He is NOT homophobic, just because not everything he says is PC doesn't make him so- nor does it make what he says untrue. Coming here and calling him names just reflects poorly on you and doesn't prove anything YOU are saying is true.

He is NOT attacking people who happen to be gay; he IS saying that gay DESIGNERS who domnate the FASHION INDUSTRY are RESPONSIBLE for choosing moelds who are unhealthiy skinny and sometimes anorexic because they find the adolescent boy look appealing. What he says makes sense and is logical -even if it's not PC- because not only does he back it up with research, but also online there are models and insiders from the industry who back up what he's saying. And they have no reason to lie.

You should either read things from a scientific standpoint without attacking just because it's not politically correct or not bother commenting. Coming here attacking the writer and/ or ppl whose viewpoint you don't like rather than discussing the matter rationally without getting 'het up' just makes you look lame.

Wed, 01/11/2012 - 08:29 Visitor Phillippa Diedrichs: very thin fashion models do not help advertising

You are 100% right Paul, they are not attractive or perfect, just sad, too thin, sickly and undernourished as far as both most straigt men and women are concernced. And since many of us are buying these products and we are from the "general public" why should we have to cater to the demands of gay designers and their unrealistic death-causing demands?? When we the women are the ones to wear the clothes they design?? They are presuambly desinging it for us to wear and not for gay men!! So they shouldn't be allowed to enforce their views on us- any more than a straight designer should be allowed to enforce his opinions on what the gay population would like to wear!!

But we're not allowed to express the truth becuase it's not PC!! Would even straight men accept a woman with breasts to come as a model for their clothes if that was at the whim of some straight male designer!? Of Course not.

Why then should women have to accept men or women who look a lot like men and look as if they're dying (sometimes they have died) to come model our clothes?! What also proves Eric's point is GPG recently using a male model to model womens' clothes!! As written about by the Daily Mirror and featured on 1st page of this site.

You're 100% right Paul and you too Eric. Good luck with getting through to ppl who are brainwashed by PC though, at the expense of reality.

Wed, 01/11/2012 - 08:17 Visitor Beth Ditto: male homosexual fashion designers to blame for size zero trend

What Eric says is true, Debra, and you need to read the research offered before you jump to hasty conclusions. The healthy thin feminine look- as opposed to sickly thin and dying thin unhealty puking look- IS the hardest to achieve and most unattainable for many women. But designers don't want that look because it's not to their liking for obvious reasons! Just because something's not politically correct doesn't make it untrue. Wake up and smell the coffee! There are also models and insiders out there from the industry who agree with Eric's theories and I have read this online. They can't all be lying, what would be the point?? Wake up.

Wed, 01/11/2012 - 07:44 Visitor Stephanie Naumoska: thinness not enough for high-fashion modeling

I totally agree with you Emily and the other readers. She DOES look too thin, emaciated, anorexic- call it what you will. It does look unhealthy and IS unhealthy- most likely she has some kind of eating disorder. Her arms are scrawny. There is a difference between someone healthy and naturally thin - with all due respect to Eric- and someone who looks scary and unhealthy sickly thin. She could be in denial as most anorexics are. She certainly would NOT be a good role model for other women- though I get Eric's point that she wouldn't be taken as a model because her face is feminine and has some sort of hips, so even she would be considered not masculine enough for the designers- which is ironic!

I also agree with you Emily that just educating ppl about thinnes and eating disorders is NOT enough- and it makes sense to have healthy rules set in motion or standards for a reasonable minimum size of model or IBM to walk the runway like they did in Milan. And then it would not be a big catasrophe if because of that a few "naturally thin" ppl had to put on some weight to be accepted. That would be reasonable and a whole hell of a lot better and healthy example than the situation we have now!

Wed, 01/11/2012 - 07:21 Visitor Two anecdotes on fashion models and their diets

Fruits and veggies are important and healthy but they are NOT enough on their own and they don't satisfy a person who takes no or very little protein and carbs less than what is medically recommended and healthy for the body BMI- so they will starve which is wrong. No one should have to starve to keep a job.

Hi Eric

Check out this webiste it's interesting and bears out what you say; it's about a model taking a stand against emaciated models losing their health to please some mad designers' unrealistic view of beauty

www.dietsinreview.com

It's entitled: Ultra thin teen model takes a stand

And how she woke up to the industry's bullshit when she started losing hair and was told at 102 pounds that her legs are too fat!!

And here's another link to another site: all about models and insiders talking about what you discuss on the site and their stand against it

There are models who admit what you say is true about the designers being behind this and why, and they have no reason to lie

Heres's another link:

Tue, 01/10/2012 - 14:32 Visitor Facial masculinization in beauty pageant contestants: an example from the Miss Germany 2002 pageant

to visitor 25 no it's not harsh, it's just not PC, but it's true though. Since the women featured by the webmaster fall into the normal weight and height range scientificully proven- then most people who are mentally normal will not find them fat as they are by no means fat; they may not be what all men like nor does Eric claim they should be -but they are not overweight or fat. Only someone who is obsessed with anorexic thinness like the fashion models portray would call them thunder thighs and fat. And no that's not code for fat woman as I am slim,toned, healthy , and happy; just healthy slim not anorexic and dying slim. There is a happy medium believe it or not):

But the point is while many ppl might not like how some or many of the women featured in the attractive section here look- and I don't for the most part or they wouldn't be the ideal in every way for all ppl- that doens't make them "fat." Only someone with issues would consider them fat, regardless of sexual orientation.

We have to study everything for an impartial viewpoint even if it's not PC and counter argument with another- not attack the webmaster's character which has nothing to do with the argument at hand.

Ruth is right. Eric is respectful of others , sometimes even when they unduly attack him because they have no valid argument and speak to him disrespectfully about matters which have little bearing on the research provided: namely his personal life which is his business alone. Those who stoop so low as to attack another's character it only says something about the character of the one doing that -and NOT Eric.

Those who don't like or agree with on the site need to come up with convincing counter arguments from a scientific backed up argument or leave the site alone. Coming here to fight and insult the webmaster is just childish and reflects poorly on those who do it. We can respect ppl regardless of whether we agree with them or not.

Also coming here and branding Eric insulting names doesn't help those who stoop to that to convince anyone believe the opposite of his theory; it just confirms his theory really. Otherwise why would ppl get so het up and worked up about something if it's not true?? And could easily be disproven?? Fair question.

Finally thanks Eric for this interesting and fascinating website which sheds light on lots of stuff for lots of ppl who are more interested in learning about stuff that can be backed up by research- rather than just joining the cattle or herd mentality in looking for what's politcally correct, and then putting down those who are more concerned with "reality" as seen by many now rather than what's "PC" . Bless you and thank you and I admire yr patience in putting up with ppl who just come to attack and fight for personal agendas): Or don't even bother to read through the whole site first before leaping to attack mode):

Good luck, I only came across this site 2 days ago by chance but plan to return): Thanks and keep up the good work!

Tue, 01/10/2012 - 14:06 Visitor Masculinization in the 2005 Miss World beauty pageant contestants

Meg 82 you need to address people with respect and focus on the issue or argument at hand in a rational and scientic manner or come up with a reasonable counterargument rather than attackt the webmaster who you know nothing about; the point is to address the argument not attack others' characters and how much time you preceive them to have on their hands. Your comment just speaks negatively about yr character.

Thanks Eric great and informative site. And Ruth you're totally right and both you and Emily have rational and realistic arguments. Good work Eric.

Tue, 01/10/2012 - 12:38 Visitor The transsexual parade otherwise known as the Victoria’s Secret lingerie show: part 1

And Cody you are 100% right I am a woman and I agree what you say is realistic and fair. Reality is reality.

Tue, 01/10/2012 - 10:29 Visitor The transsexual parade otherwise known as the Victoria’s Secret lingerie show: part 1

to Anna 22: What you say makes NO sense at all. You talk as if there is only 2 types of women, one slim and toned and the other fat and lumpy!! That is nuts! As a healthy slim fit woman - as opposed to scary thin and anorexic sometimes literally dying model thin- I can tell you that Eric is promoting "healthy thin" as opposed to "skeleton sickly thin" models. He is NOT trying to promote a particular look or beauty. He's just pointing out the obvious and true fact: Most models are TOO thin and masculine looking rather than healthy looking slim. The fact that you don't like Eric's theory behind this about what gay designers prefer and their imposing this on ppl to please their own sense of what beauty is at the expense of people dying, and the fact that you think what he says isn't "PC" doesn't make his thoery untrue. Some things are not PC but they make sense from a practical viewpiont and are usually true.

If you had anything valid to say you would couter his arguments with data and in a rational and scientific manner rather than attacking his character which has nothing to do with the issue. But ppl who attack others' character DON'T have a valid arguments. And if you take the time to review his site you will find a number of both straight and gay ppl who agree with what Eric says, also there are some models who are insiders who have admitted what Eric says is true . I will try to find a qoute like that I saw from a female skinny model in NY who talks about how she's sick of gay designers pushing forth their idea of beauty at the expense of models dying which wouldn't be tolerated in any other business - and she and some other models have taken a stand against this.

Eric is not against anything or anybody. He's not saying there's only one standard of beauty. He's just pointing out WHY we are being subjected to overly sickly thin emaciated models which is NOT HEALTHY OR ACCEPTABLE.

AGAIN JUST BECAUSE HIS THEORY IS NOT PC DOESN'T MAKE IT UNTRUE. WE'D HAVE TO RESEARCH MORE TO KNOW- BUT IT'S BELIEVABLE BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN BACKED UP BY SOME MODELS WHO HAVE NO REASON TO LIE.

Someone honest like Eric who is truthful about TOO skinny and anorexic and starving yrself when he shows it's not healthy or normal or even necessary to sell products that way by literally starving yrself to death is doing all us women a bigger favour than ppl who claim that being sickly thin and dying is great and normal and in and it's ok if ppl have unrealistic expectations and end up dying and that that's their choice!!

Most models are NOT naturally that thin to the point of dying but do it to keep their jobs by using laxetives and painful diets. If this were not true we wouldn't have had some models dying after fashion shows and then Milan changing its laws so that desingers can't subject ppl to illness and death just to present what ONLY they find asthetically pleasing.

There is a BIG difference between "healthy toned thin" and between "sickly anorexic I'm puking and dieting thin"

Most not all but many if not most models portray the latter sadly.

Yes many hetro men prefer slim women but they PREFER HEALTHY THIN NOT SCARY THIN

If we can't find a reasonable counter argument based on science and facts it doesn't mean we need to resort to bashing pple's characters.

And for the record I don't know Eric and prior to yesterday knew nothing about this site which is real, honest, informative, and helpful to women, and interesting frankly.

Just because what he says isn't PC doesn't make it any less true. Either way MOST ppl of the general public would agree they don't like the "sicky anorexic thin" and prefer "toned healthy thin" We don't have to be sticks or fat as women there is a healthy toned slim medium.

Sickly thin is NOT healthy or normal or attractive or acceptable. Period. That's the truth. It's not an insult to models - only to designers who want beauty the way they want it even if it literally means death for models. Many models agree with this site and have taken a stand against this - as they have suffered anorexia and seen others die from it.

Real women are best served by having a normal healthy slim weight.

As for the industry caring only about money they don't have to worry; as Eric said they will always ALWAYS make money even if they choose the worst looking or ugliest models on earth BECAUSE THEY ARE SELLING CLOTHES! MOST WOMEN WILL NOT GIVE UP BUYING CLOTHES REGARDLESS OF WHOSE SELLING THEM.

Very little ppl give a damn sadly about the health risks taken by models as this site shows.

And thanks for the site Eric; it's very informative. I don't envy you having to deal with ppl attacking character rather than discussing the argument rationally

Luckily some of yr readers - male and female, straight and gay, are rational and have got the point behind yr site.

But until you deal with ppl more concered with reality than PC you won't sadly be able to reach many with yr important message.

Tue, 01/10/2012 - 09:39 Visitor What are the requirements for becoming a top-ranked fashion model or supermodel?

to destiny- he's not "hating" on models, pls use yr brains and THINK. He's actually doing something good FOR MODELS AND WOMEN by being real and brave enough to suggest the need for a normal healthy slim model as one who is SCARY SICK THIN and has to starve herself to death -just to please some bitchy gay designers and sell overpriced clothes to clueless women!! Wake up !

And FYI MOST WOMEN OR GIRLS ARE NOT NATURALLY SKINNY OR EMACIATED UNLESS THEY HAVE TO STARVE THEMSEVLES TO DEATH AS PROVED BY THE DEATH OF SOME MODELS DYING FROM LACK OF FOOD AND MILAN'S CHAGING FASHION LAWS RECENTLY

Don't judge people before you understand what they're actually talking about and use your brains instead of getting caught up in emotions that have NOTHING do do with the issue

And thanks Eric for this interesting and informative site which I believe to be true as one of yr female readers- and I admire yr ability to put up with insults from ppl who don't know what the hell they are talking about- and who are actually dumb enough to think something's not true just because it's not PC

Mon, 01/09/2012 - 14:27 l Aletta and Anna JV from Domai

To visitor 22 you are TOTALLY RIGHT and they need to have certain laws so that people under a certain weight don't risk their health by modelling or nothing will change, GREAT comment, totally agree with you. One of the few objective comments on this site.

Mon, 01/09/2012 - 13:54 We need to thin... Aletta and Anna JV from Domai

to number 19 comment this is a dumb question: if you're sexually attracted to both sexes then you are obviously bisexual - regardless of restricting relations to same sex partners.

And to those against Eric:

You may not agree with Eric's opinions; but he has a right to have an opinion on any subject in life and to try to defend it- as we all do and regardless of the topic matter. It's freedom of speech regardless of whether it's PC, he's "allowed" to study the matter in a scientific matter& put forward theories which we can accept or reject.

Whether he's right or not is up to him to prove. But just because a topic is not PC and annonys people doesn't mean it's not truthful. And I have no agenda one way or the other. Just stating my opinion):

Nor do I know who on earth Eric is and this is honestly the first time I stumble upon this site, and it happened because I was wondering why the hell are those models all so damn anorexic and dying; googling the words brought me to this interesting and informative site. It's worth thinking about what he says as a POSSIBILITY regardless of whether we like or believe it.

The truth is if Eric were talking about straight fashion designers pushing for a certain look that went against women's health even pushing some to die literally, then everyone would be on his side. But because he has an opionion regarding gay men which is seen as not "politically correct" he is being attacked without making an attempt to proper read and study and think about the point he is trying to make in the first place!! Even though he is not attacking any sexual orientation: All he's saying that is that fashion designers are using models who they find attractive due to their sexual preferences- even if that means they would -and are- pushing young women to their deaths by forcing them to be too thin to the point of anorexia& sometimes death to just to keep& maintain their jobs.

Even if modelling is a cut throat business and models "choose" to put up with risking illness& death we as a society should not put up with it- regardless of the reason. It's neither ethical nor humane nor acceptable. And Emily's 100% right that the industry - regardless of their reasons- have proven their inability to choose models who are "healthy thin" and not "anorexic looking as if they're dying" thin.

In no other profession would we or have we tolerated this. Even in other professions where people may face discrimination such as prostitutes and sex workers ,you will find their are places and people who will defend their rights as humans by forcing them to use condoms to minimize the risks to their health for instance.

So why are models not entitled -like any other profession- to have their health protected and not destroyed by virtue of their career??! It's like saying to someone "It's your choice to be a model and if you die that's too bad- you took the risk by choosing this career!" It's utterly ridiculous and not a valid argument. It's the industry's duty to protect the models not put them at risk of literally dying and eating disorders!

And the truth is that there is no valid reason for their being thin- other than the desingers' preference: Because if you think about it logically the whole "coat hanger" theory thing doesn't hold up! Why? Becuase if it were true then it would have held true to models of the forties and fifties! And it didn't! They were NOWHERE NEAR AS THIN as the poor anorexic models of nowadays who puke and eat lettuce and fall down dead just to sell overpriced products to people! No one's job should cost them their lives.

And Emily's right if women like Marilyn Monroe and Sophia Loren were young in this day and age and came to model they'd be considered too fat by today's crazy designers and booed off! Which is wrong and unrealistic! They're not fat; they're beautiful and slim with curves! But today's standards are totally off- they are promoting women who look like skinny teen boys not women who look like women! OK not all women have curves but all the models they use look the same! There's no diversity- they all have to look as if they're dying! The sad truth is some of them DID die due to this unhealthy lifestyle and some models themselves have started taking a stand. It's about time we did too.

Also it may be that the industry is desparate to save money on clothes with their ludicrous sample 00 sizes -which did NOT hold true for the 1940s and fifties for some reason?!. However, it's hard to imagine that's the only reason. Especially after all the furore lately with poor models passing out and one or two dying after the show. Just so they could reflect the idea of beauty of inhumane fashion designer out of touch with real beauty standards liked by real men and women- but the designers are TOTALLY DISCONNECTED from society in their own little bubble which needs to burst. And their behavious is wrong by any standards (putting women's lives in danger to sell products) regardless of the reason. And regardless of their sexual orientation.

Also we should focus on the subject matter on the site and NOT on some book Eric wrote many years ago which nobody cares about and which has little bearing on the matter at hand.

It's up to Eric to try and prove his point from a scientific viewpoint even thought it's not "PC" Again, just because something's not PC DOESN'T MEAN IT MAY NOT BE TRUE. I SAID MAY BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE. BUT EVERYONE HAS A RIGHT TO THEIR VIEWPOINT AND TO TRY TO BACK IT UP.

Having said that I too don't agree with the choice of many of the women Eric chooses as attractive; I agree they're feminine but don't find them all attractive. But that's his choice.

I think both things are and hold true: 1 there is a general standard of beauty most people find attractive, but 2 also beauty is in the eye of the beholder as we can't all always agree on who's beautiful nor should we have to.

We can all agree however on 2 things:

- Most if not all models in the industry are TOO thin and are putting their lives at risk which is neither acceptable nor even necessary in order to sell a product,! the fact is as Eric said we all need and want to buy clothes, so whatever the models are like we WILL be buying the clothes if the clothes look good! Nor does looking emaciated look good to most people who are NOT fashion designers!

- Clothes may hang better on slimmer people but only to an extent! And that extent doesn't need to reach the point of emaciation or anorexia!

Also there is obviously IS some hidden motive for all this regardless- whether Eric's theories are right but they make sense otherwise why would the industry keep forcing death on these women or illnesses if it wasn't to promote the look they want? Because like I said if the coat hanger theory was true it would have been applied in the forties and fifties or the early part of the 20th century when they had models. And wasn't applied.

Also, I don't agree with Emily that caucasions or Europeans or a certain category are the best looking, but that is HER OPINION- AND AGAIN SHE IS ENTITLED TO HER OPINION. SHE THINKS IT'S A FACT AND I DON'T- BUT AGAIN THE FACT SHE THINKS IT'S A FACT IS JUST HER OPINION! AND SHE'S ENTITLED TO HER OPINION!

Plus I respect her for taking a stand against the industry's using too thin models and only "anorexic looking" models and their unrealistic death provoking standards. She is right that nobody should be allowed to use people and expliot their need for work and drugs and self-destruction at any price.

As for Eric, if he wants to drive home his point about beauty better he would be better advised to use photos of women that many of us -if not most- find attractive and feminine such as well known hollywood actresses or celebreties who don't act- who most ppl would consider feminine such as Catherine Zeta Jones, Kim Kardashian, Rene Zellweger, and old fashioned actresses from the past such as Sophia Loren and Ava Gardner and Kim Novac. Most would agree they're feminine, attractive, healthy, not too fat and not too thin. They are HEALTHY SLIM AND NOT ANOREXIC SLIM. MOST OF THEM WOULD LOOK DAMN BETTER ON THE RUNWAY THAN THOSE POOR STARVED EMACIATED SCARECROWS THEY USE!

The industry needs to wake up to the fact that women don't have to be too thin or too fat! There IS a happy medium! AND there IS 'HEALTHY THIN' AS OPPOSED TO 'SCARY SICK THIN'!

But again it's Eric's choice whose photos he uses, we're meant to study the femininity angle more than the attraction factor as attraction can vary in some issues from one person to another.

I for one respect Eric and Emily for being honest even if everything they say isnt' "PC" Things can be true even if they're NOT PC. As long as you don't attack anybody or promote hate you should be able to state your views and try to back them up with a scientific basis- especially if you really believe or have a basis for believing them to be correct.

Also Eric's personal life has nothing to do with this. It's disrespectful of some people to keep accusing him of having too much time on his hands or attacking his personal life. He may have a wonderful personal life but have a desire to write about this topic. Again it's his choice and we need to respect others' choices regarless of whether " they are PC or not "

At the end of the day if he were talking about any other topic on the planet such as global warming or he was just defending the need to NOT kill models for their work (without promoting the theory he believes) then nobody would dream of attacking him or his personal life- and who cares anyway? Only people with NO OBJECTIV valid argument would attack someone's personal life instead of responding to their theory in an objective manner- regardless of whether we agree with the theory or not.

We need to address each other with respect.

And for the record, I am a woman who is NOT caucasion or European but a mix of cultures- so have no reason or "agenda" to defend Emily's finding only certain people beautiful and I don't happen to agree with her- it's just her right to have an opinion whether we like it or not. And I'm not against anybody being the weight or sexual orientation or anything they want to be or are.

I'm just against people having to DIE to keep their job or put their health at risk. Which is something all of us should feel and WOULD believe if it were happening to people we personally knew and cared about. And NO I DON'T PERSONALLY KNOW ANY MODELS. IT'S JUST WHAT'S RIGHT AND HUMANE AND ETHICAL.

And again I'm more concerned with the industry's being held accountable for the lives of people they employ rather than Eric's theory regarding fashion designers' motives; is it's true he will eventually prove it- and if it's not it will just die out in time.

But we need to accept the POSSIBLITY of people's theories being true and think about them OBJECTIVELY before we dismiss them- and that would mean research- not coming here and fighting with everyone we happen to disagree with. Or defending about our own agendas; if we care only about the truth of the matter and finding it- regardless of that truth- then we WON'T HAVE an agenda.

And that's my two cents):

This comment is just idiotic and meant to hurt, I don't know Eric but he is entitled to his opinion- and there is no basis for this comment. What has his mother got to do with anything? Presumably most men inherit their masculinity or lack of from the father- and there are genetic traits that affect ther person in the womb. But other than that his mother has nothing to do with this and you should be more respectful

If you think that Haifa Wehbi is bordering on overweight then you really have been brainwashed by society that the only look that's right is anorexic thin! Sorry I think you have issues; she has a nice curvy body that's just right and no way is she bordering on overweight!! Get a life!! Not everyone wants to be a stick; nor do they have to be fat- there's a happy medium which is average and being about right size for your height and I think she embodies it!
