Why is it always the wife that has to look like a model, be thin and look like she is forever 18?  Here is the old double standard again.  How many times do we see guys that have let themselves go and don't do anything about it, but expect the wife to lose weight and look perfect? So hypocritical!!
Men do have so many double standards. I for one am totally fed up. I have been single every since my overweight husband left me in 96. God knows how in the same year he was married to me he found another attractive woman and decided to go for it. I am now friends with him as we do have children together. But anyway on to this topic. Plastic women are taking us back into the era of women are to be seen and not heard. By God, it may not be in my day and age but someday women will be heard. I wish I could get a group started. This revolution has to start somewhere. Men are sick. They roam about the earth doing not much of anything But boy do they expect alot. Women have got to stop trying so hard to be looked at by men. These plastics are only attracting the sickest of all. Do they think they are achieving true love. Blah, what a joke. What are they going to do when all the plastic slides south with their skin. Bottom line is that there is always someone cuter lerking around the next corner and given the chance any man will pounce. Like it or not Dems da brakes. Gotta love it.

I've seen it both ways, but I will admit that your observation seems to be more the norm. 

  

My cousin and her husband are an example of the woman that let herself go to somewhat of an extreme and a man that has a below-average build.  However, I've never heard of any real complaints from either end of that couple (although I've heard them fight over damn near everything else!)

A victim is often self-created

Women are not victims, as you describe. They make a choice to let their body image rule their self image. They make a choice to go under a knife. They make a choice to listen to men who obviously don't know what real love is.  

  

Women need to be accountable for their choices and actions. I'm tired of being told I'm a victim because I'm a woman. I removed that label (along with my NOW membership) years ago and am MUCH happier today!!! 

  

Why not ask why so many women are so darned stupid when it comes to these matters????
