The Need to Look Perfect

April 30, 2009

perfectlookEvery woman wants to feel beautiful in her own skin. Some feel beautiful just the way they are, while others have an almost overwhelming desire to look perfect.  Some resort to extreme measure to achieve that perfect body shape.

The biggest influence on this “Thin Cult” is probably the media. Magazines are filled with pictures of extremely thin girls. TV stars often have perfect looks, and the average woman who sees all these idealized bodies may start to believe she must look perfect too. However, this driving need to be perfect can even arise in the female stars we idolize. They may even fear they may lose their careers because the competition is thinner.

The need to look perfect can have an enormous effect on women. They might starve themselves for days, weakening their bodies to the point of illness simply because the media tells them they must be thin. The media does not acknowledge the fact that most men prefer a healthy-looking woman over a bony one.

Women may feel judged by other dieting women if they wear skinny clothing or walk around a beach in a bikini.  That’s where trouble arises: Women judge women, even if they know what kind of danger this behavior risks.

Even models aren’t perfect, though. Their pictures are taken with professional makeup and perfect lighting. Hundreds of pictures are taken before the perfect one is produced.

Under such circumstances, any woman could achieve the perfect look. Even under these conditions, there’s still more work to be done. Computers can be used to remove even the slightest imperfection.

Thin doesn’t equal beautiful. Real beauty is found in a healthy body. Looking ill or tired while thin won’t really impress anyone. You’ll probably feel tired and constantly irritable. Remaining healthy and building some muscle instead of just dieting to lose fat will leave you feeling more joyful and full of energy. Is it really worthwhile to starve yourself to skin and bones?
