Girls and Weight

If you're talking to a girl about weight, you're walking into a seriously touchy-zone. Girls are generally extremely self-conscious of their own body image and always strive to get their own personal 'perfect body', which is strongly influenced by the media. 

Some girls dream about having a body similar or exactly the same as the models on the runway :

Which is seriously unhealthy because most of them that do want that kind of body image, take 'shortcuts' to get there. Such as dieting, or not eating at all, and some over-exercise. Starve themselves, etc. That's where most health issues arise from.

There's an extremely famous picture of a girl looking at the mirror of herself 'thinking she's fat' but she's actually really skinny : 

I personally think we need the media to raise the awareness that girls are beautiful no matter what size they are and they should concentrate on living their life, then trying to achieve the 'perfect body', because truly, there is no such thing as a perfect body.

In the 'olden times', girls who were slightly plump, were considered as 'beautiful and healthy'. Nowadays, when the media has shown models painstakingly thin, but somehow 'trendy' at the same time, and somehow get's all the guys. Truly, I don't think that's true. If you glow within yourself and have a great personality, you'll attract enough people's attention for them to know you are beautiful. 

Love yourself before you can expect anyone else to love you. If you are insecure about your body image, and is constantly trying to achieve impossible lengths to get it for the sake of guys, work on your personality instead. 

If you have think you have the 'ideal body' and do get a guy, and you're personality isn't great, he's not going to stay. (: 

Just remember you're beautiful no matter what

Life Advice: Deciphering Girls' Actions

Girls are confusing, I can understand. I guess our brains think more differently to a males' and are more emotionally structured. We are usually blinded by emotions which make our actions seem really confusing. This is just advice for guys who want to know what's going on behind the scenes of those tantrums and actions of girls that just don't make sense to them.

1. What is she thinking?

When a girl says : 'What?' after you've said something completely off topic or biased, it usually means she is giving you a second chance to change what you said, or she really didn't hear what you said. But in the latter case, girls tend to say, 'What did you say?' or 'Could you please repeat that?'. Hence, 'What?' could almost definitely be her asking you to rephrase what you said.

But then again, what she is thinking will also depend on her facial expression and her body language. Not everyone is an expert in body language and facial expressions but we all know the basics. Reacting correctly to a girls' reaction is really important as well.

2. Her Facial Expressions

A girl's facial expressions are the same as everyone elses, just what they are thinking is different. For example, a girl might have a really depressed facial expression, but really she's thinking about little things about her day. It would depend on the situation.

3. Body Language

It's pretty simple with body language but making sure you know what she's feeling is usually in her words.

So not only interpreting their body language and facial expressions important, most importantly is listening to what the girl is talking about is important as well.

4. Listen to what she's talking about

This would earn extra points to a girl if you can actually ask her questions on the topic she's talking about. Or elaborating it. It shows you're listening and she'll definitely be more trusting towards you.

It's rather hard to give advice, but if anyone wants a girl's opinion, leave a comment of a scenario you're in, and I'll definitely answer it with the best opinion I can. (:

Hope this helped,
