How often do you look at another girl and think that she is terrible because she looks better than you, or if you are a guy you think she is a goddess? Both are stereotypical things to think, and we have all thought this at some point. Fortunately, this is becoming less and less common. That thin, perfect little girl can be your best friend, and guys are starting to be interested in all types of girl. But the model curse of the want for a model body is increasing every day. Every woman gets a new chance every day to wake up, look in the mirror and say how wonderful they look, whether they are ninety pounds or three hundred. Every woman is truly beautiful in some way.

Personally, I think anyone who baths regularly is just as wonderful as the next. .
In medieval times, which are usually consider to be the years between the 1400's to the 1600 or 1700's, People were indeed very particular about their bodies. Indeed, it was a sign of one's wealth. No man would want his wife to be thin. Every blessed man in this time era had to have a nice, fat, little wife. A man couldn't let his wife lose weight because it showed that he didn't even have enough money to feed her. In addition to being a plus sized woman, she also needed that perfect, hourglass figure. A man himself also had to have fat on him. Big men were powerful, and held the wealth providing jobs. Obviously, thin people in this era were poor. They were the ones who couldn't afford foods, and it showed on them as well. Now, a rich man's daughter might be thin mind you, but once she was married she gained. It seems to me that the thought, the beefier then the better, is something we could use now. Maybe we shouldn't use it to show any status, but I like that idea.
