Skinny
I hate the way the media automatically portrays thin as good. I mean, when was the last time you saw a curvy person on an advert? (talking mainly about women here, there are a few chubby guys on beer adverts etc)

Every single woman on the adverts is painfully thin. This, along with celebrity magazines and model culture, contributes to the rise in eating disorders.

I myself prefer girls who carry a bit of weight (or more than a bit, I don't really mind). I like to curl up to them at night and in the morning, I love the way their skin cushions me when I hug them, I love feeling their weight on top of me, I love the outline of their body.

I haven't liked thin girls since I was about 12, and let's face it, most girls are thin when they're 12, having not quite gone through puberty and all.

Women, embrace your curves! Love your love-handles and cellulite! Next time you see Kate Moss, just imagine all her bones breaking and grinding away during sex, until she becomes nothing but a pile of dust. Why would you want to be like that?

It's time everyone took a stand and stopped the shameless one-sided promotion of body-image. That said, the Dove Real Beauty Campaign is a step in the right direction.

And also, how everytime anyone gets successful, like they go from soap opera minor celeb to A-list Hollywood,
they always seem to go super thin and pinched looking and compete with Ali McBeal for 'Stick of the Year' awards.

They must feel like a bag of coathangers...

hrmm
I think people look great when they are their natural weight.
Like say someone eats healthy food and excersizes a fair amount then they look healthy, even if they are curvy. That way they don't look fat.
What doesn't look good is when a person eats too much crap then become overweight when they are not meant to be that way.
Similarily, if someone starves themselves to be thin, they do look too thin.

My friend and I eat about the same amount and exercise the same amount and she is naturally curvy, which suits her, and I am naturally thin, which suits me. We'd look silly swapped about.

I totally agree
Being able to cuddle someone without a rib digging in you is the best thing.

Sigh - and now I want to go home and cuddle the SO...
