what kind of break?

if you are asking if mainstream euro culture is less embracing of curves on a woman,, it seems like it, yes


it does seem the standard for beauty is slim and almost adolescent like figures,,,,


I do think other cultures SEEM to celebrate things like thick thighs, and hips more often

Some guys like "big" girls. Some guys don't. Some guys just don't care. It's as simple as that.

Yes i do think so.

I think msharmony's reply demonstrates it perfectly, you specifically said "overweight" and she equated that to "curves on a woman". To me, these are two different things. Much the same way that I don't necessarily see "slim" as being "adolescent like".

Nor do I see this post fitting in with the recent rash of dating outside of race threads.

A woman being fat was a sign of status in primitive cultures. In modern western societies it isn't and it's more likely to be asociated with morbid obesity than just not being starving. I don't think that there's a lot more to it than that.

Its true he said overweight, but for me, weight is based in so many things that I don't think the everyday person understands , so in common speech, it tends to be that when people think someone is too big, they call them 'overweight'

nice catch though,,,,

I think doctors and medical professionals who truly are educated in proper weights and all the factors for an individual, probably don't give non white women any more of a break than white ones,,,

true, I Think the common speech we use now really uses these terms interchangeably moreso than they do in context of their actual definitions.

Well sir, I believe according to medical standards most of us are overweight, but for myself there is a difference between being overweight and curvy like Msharmony described. Growing up in Detroit there where plenty of women of African decent that I could describe as curvy that where drop dead knockouts so I guess my answer to your question would be yes.

Well...as some of you are aware or might have guessed...I have very little interest in a non white, non Caucasian women. However I'm a huge fan of white women in general. laugh I've been all around this country some, and I've been around the world, and it is my personal opinion that there is not a lady more beautiful than that of Caucasian ethnicity. Caucasians have to offer several different varieties as far as genetic ancestral background, they mainly originate from within the European continent all the way throughout Russia and today can be found in almost every part of the world. Hair and eye colors can be much more variable to include many different shades of black, brown, blond, and red hair. Eyes- blue, brown, hazel, green, and occasionally other colors. Given their reputation for being so variable in style, they are also very unpredictable, and often times can be very cunning, so sleek in their appearance, many can, quite frankly, be more dangerous than a cocked gun!! Lol, but don't let that fool you...most of them are very compassionate, caring people, whom just like us men, want to find their place in this world. Some can be high maintenance, but taking time and understanding any one of these magnificent creatures can be very rewarding. I myself am in search of the one I would like to devote a lifetime to understanding. Now the question for this forum is...do I think that non white women catch a break as far as being overweight? Yes and no. I do believe that some women in general, white or not, suffer from genetically inherited weight issues, which is not really their fault, on the other hand, some women, like some men, just refuse to take care of their selves, thus they suffer obesity, and I suppose if that's their will then that's their right. Everyone's perfect for somebody biggrin
