Beauty of a woman

Hey guys and gals,
I have been reading some of the other posts people have done, and I have seen a number of posts on prejudices and peoples imagery of themselves, and I just thought that some of you might like this email I received. I thought some of the stuff it said was kind of cool.

Facts On Figures: There are 3 billion women who don't look like super models and only eight who do.
Did you know Marilyn Monroe wore a size 14?

If Barbie was a real woman, she'd have to walk on all FOURS due to her proportions!

The average woman weighs 144 pounds, and wears between a size 12-14.

One out of every 4 college-aged women has an eating disorder.

The Models in the magazines are AIRBRUSHED!!! - NOT Perfect!!

A psychological study in 1995 found that 3 minutes spent looking at a Fashion Magazine caused 70% of women to feel depressed, guilty and SHAMEFUL!

Models 20 years ago weighed 8% Less than the average Woman. Today they weigh 23% less.

An English professor wrote the words: "WOMAN WITHOUT HER MAN IS NOTHING" on the blackboard, and directed the students to punctuate it correctly.
The men wrote: "Woman, WITHOUT HER MAN, is nothing."
The women wrote: "WOMAN!! WITHOUT HER, man is nothing!"

~~ Beauty of a Woman ~~The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,The figure she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from her eyes,Because that is the doorway to her heart,The place where love resides. The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives,The passion that she shows. The beauty of a woman With time, only grows..

The Images of Mother
4 YEARS OF AGE - My Mommy can do anything!
8 YEARS OF AGE - My Mom knows a lot! A whole lot!
12 YEARS OF AGE - My Mother doesn't really know quite everything.
14 YEARS OF AGE - Naturally, Mother doesn't know that, either!
16 YEARS OF AGE - Mother? She's hopelessly old-fashioned.
18 YEARS OF AGE - That old woman? She's way out of date!
25 YEARS OF AGE - Well, she might know a little bit about it.
35 YEARS OF AGE - Before we decide, let's get Mom's opinion.
45 YEARS OF AGE - Wonder what Mom would have thought about it?
65 YEARS OF AGE - Wish I could talk it over with Mom. . .

I have always thought that what society says is beautiful is stupid, we set standards for people that no one is going to be able to achieve. If a person is making their decisions about people based on looks, then they themselves are not worth having. I think my girlfriend is a beautiful woman, but that is not why I am with her. I am with her because she is a wonderful woman, who loves the lord, has a wonderful personality, and a loving spirit, and I thank God every day for putting her in my life. And it is a good thing that woman don't base all their desicions on the attractiveness of a man, because if that were the case then tracy certainly would not be with me.
