Public Perception Of Ugliness

[Sharingan]

Why is poor Kim Kardashian getting such a hard time in the press because she's put on weight while she's pregnant? Is it just jealousy or do people really think she looks ugly? I dont like her dress sense but I think as a woman she looks beautiful.

I don't know what she looked like before she was pregnant, not a name I have hear of. Looking at the picture, she's hardly a head turner. Not ugly, by all means, just not pretty

[Sharingan]

she is but I'm more concerned about the way its accepted into public consciousness. We had a 14 year old on here asking how to beocme anorexic the other day when her weight was over for her height in the first place.
I dont think Kim Kardashian will lose any sleep over annything they print about her but it will affect lots of other people's perceptions of what is attractive and what is not maybe.

[Sharingan]

sorry 'weight was NOT over for her height'.

I don't think she's ugly at all. And who doesn't put on weight when they're pregnant? She'll no doubt have an army of personal trainers, beauticians and such like to help her shed the baby weight quickly anyway. It's all a bit of a non-story as far as I'm concerned. What does intrigue me, however, is why the Daily Mail is so obsessed with the Kardashians

I do agree sharingan, what doesnt help is when there is a picture of a normal sized celebrity and mostly males in the comment box are calling her fat, its potentially damaging for impressionable teens to read especially as being a teen can be quite a insecure time in life.

The media can never seem to make up their minds on what 'perfection' is. One minute they're slating Kim Kardashian for being "overweight", and the next they're bitching about how thin someone looks.

No wonder so many young girls have "issues" with food.

Apart from the childish comments on the bottom of the story, the article hasn't called her ugly.

The articles about her weight gain, which given she's pregnant, is unavoidable. Her dress sense however, especially that pink "thing" leaves alot to be desired, it does nowt for her.

There are mean and cruel people everywhere.

Meh... I actually can't think of anyone at the moment who I would say is 'ugly'. It's a pretty harsh word.

Looking at the first pic in the article, she looks very normal................unlike kermit in the middle who looks unfeasible small.

[Mick-Talbot]

unfeasibly

People always have and always will judge other peoples appearances. It just happens to be easier to tell everyone what you think these days.

Young people may be easily influenced but they are not idiots. Most will look at that pic, decide what they think and then carry on with life as normal.

If kids are going to use the internet they need to be taught to toughen up.

I really don't like calling anyone ugly, everyone must have someone that finds them attractive, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so to speak. I don't get what people find attractive about Brad Pitt and David Beckham (from the neck down maybe), but then I'd bet my last penny on the fact that they wouldn't find me remotely attractive either ;o).

Kim Kard is undoubtedly an attractive girl, her dress sense stinks at times though.

I think she has a beautiful face, but her arse should have it's own zip code.
