I have been on SG for a couple of weeks now and I am FINALLY getting an idea of how this site works.
But I am pleased to say that I think I made the right decision in getting involved with the site. I think it is amazing the confidence all the women on here have about their bodies, appearance and personalities. It is such a contrast to all the bullshit in main-stream culture, where rules of beauty are often really strictly defined and anyone who is outside of this image, is often made to feel negative about their appearance.
I mean, I saw a programme on TV a few days ago about a lady getting breast implants and it made me feel sad. I dont really have a problem with cosmetic surgery, if the person having it, is only doing it as a minor life choice, so they can wear clothes that suit their personality a bit better, or something. However the lady I saw on TV, REALLY HATED her small boobs, and felt the only way she could be beautiful and sexy was to have a couple of lumps of silicone shoved in her chest, at great financial expense and a considerable ammount of physical pain.
I mean, this cant be right. I hate the idea that someone should feel so bad about the body that nature gave them. It is so ignorant and narrow minded to think that one body type is better than another. I think all the women on here are very brave and strong minded to not be influenced by these fascistic attitudes towards beauty. I have a big nose and small boobs and I think it would be sodding ridiculous if I wanted to change the way I looked through surgery. I really think that SG is challanging a lot of ideas that people have had forced down their throats about how people "should" look, and as a result it is making people feel happier and more confident in themselves. And this has to be a good thing!

I remember some of the kids at school who used to like only one band and say that everything else is crap. My mentality was always to like diversity; it just seems stupid to limit oneself. Anyway, nature works through creating diversity and if it were not for that, we would still be single cell creatures in the primeval soup.
Have a great day, but watch out for the hangover.
