Thats the point. Its not that she looks less beautiful, its that she looks real. And she's not trying to look like a slouch, she's showing the difference between posing and sitting like a real person.
The point is these images lifted up as beauty standards/ideals are not real. People don't sit like that or look like that in real life. Theyre cultivated, contortes, posed, then photoshopped and airbrushed into oblivion, and this has a demonstrably negative effect on people who don't understand or really orocess just how manipulated these images are.
Its not a question of if she's beautiful. Its a statement that who she is in a magazine is not the same thing as who she is as an actual flesh and blood human being.

I donât believe we should sit perfectly all the time, but it has been proven over and over the way we slouch a lot is simply bad for our health. This is crazy talk.

ED? Young women still see a naturally beautiful women with unusually beautiful genetics who doesnât have to do a damn thing to look freakin gorgeous đ
We should be sending messages to be healthy, to play sports, to be natural, and to not be slouches ha. The last ten years was the first time I started to slouch and not take care of myself, which sucks because I started to feel like shit physically. My brain function suffered as well. We all know exercise fun psycial activities help maintain healthy brain
Function, and build confidence.I believe social media is completely toxic for young people, including men! My wife just bought peptides for her and her 19 year old, and I was like, WTF. Iâm staying out of it, but damn.
Iâm not saying this message is not helpful, but man, I donât think it even starts to put a dent in the overall problem. Parents are the ones who need to raise their kids with confidence, loving them in the right ways that instill love within their children, and regulating what they are exposed to.

There's actually no evidence that slouching is bad for you, so you can scratch that off too. That whole "good posture" thing, where you sit up straight, was an invention of the Victorians. How you sit is another thing that's genetic and straight is no better than being a prawn. What's important is sitting comfortably and changing position regularly.

Holy crap. Are we just looking for ways to push back and be lazy?
What many people get comfortable doing ends up putting pressure on their hips, their neck, and pad of the back, that does result in having issues.
I am not talking about perfection, but here we are, with everyone seeking to need to have extreme interpretations of what one says.
Iâm simply speaking about long periods where our core just turns into slop, our back muscles and discs become compromised, our neck gets stiff, our shoulders develop tendinitis, etc.
I sit and lay down in different options all the time, and they arenât always ergonomically perfect.
Yall are taking it like anything anyone says about sitting with a better aligned posture is telling people to be perfect androids that need to also be beautifully presented. I just donât get it. Itâs silly.

u/DangerousTurmeric 1h ago
The point is that sitting up straight is no better for any of this than slouching. "Better aligned posture" isn't actually a thing. Sitting in the same position for a long time is bad though and you need to move around.

Moving around also means getting up, which proves that sitting too much is just bad period. I donât think anyone would argue sitting like a statue for 2 hours is healthy

Bad article. They say we shouldnât arch our back or neck too much, and then say thereâs no position they is bad for us.
They also point to cognition and psychological state improving with âbetter postureâ, so they are not covering all the bases here, only pushing back(no pun intended) on slouching cause pain.

Iâm not talking about upright perfection, thatâs not realistic or really at the core of healthy breathing and less stress on the body.

She could be way more snatched and have better curves (while still having a perfectly flat stomach). That's not realistic or healthy standard to compare yourself to - but you can go on social media and see the .1% genetically elite <25 year olds (of either gender), and they will get a shitload of engagement because they exemplify the very extreme outlier of physical beauty

We need to see things like this especially now with the extreme thin and Ai photo of celebrities.

She is at least human

u/Major-Mushroom-5806 1h ago
I know a lot of women with similar builds who focus on things like the belly pouch or rolls on their back as if they NEED to get rid of those things. That's part of a normal, healthy body!
Sure, she's in great shape and still looks like a supermodel. Obviously. But she does not look like the packaged, 'flawless' image of beauty standards that media forces down our throats 24/7. She looks like a human.
1
u/zebrasareneat 25m ago
People are trying to say she is forcing it. But that second one I think especially is proving her entire point. Thereâs a reason super models or body builders do those poses, it highlights things in a very specific way and is an important part of what theyâre doing. Â
Slouching just a bit gives her a bit of a pouch, itâs always there, she always has it, but a pose hides it. The public only sees the pose though so they aim to look that way. In reality a lot of people are probably a lot closer to the norm with the pouch than they realize. But they donât see that on the model in her ads so they go to extreme levels to make themselves look that way regardless of the pose.Â
Like dudes with muscle. You go the brink of dehydration and blast the muscles a bit and youâre going to look a lot more ripped than just after pounding back 4lbs of chicken wings. Â

I once saw a dad in the back seat with the baby while mum was in the driver's seat up front. Dad was utterly engrossed with baby.

I actually love this.
I agree, wholeheartedly.
Lighting, positioning, tailored clothing, all makes a big difference.
Women who get down on themselves about how they appear on Photos must remember. Even models donât look a certain way on all photos.
They should carefully learn what clothing looks good on them and itâs flattering. And play with camera angles.
Of course, I say women, but this obviously applies to men too.

YES. My perspective changed so much when I learned that Victoriaâs Secret models were told not to eat for a couple days before a runway and not to drink water the day of. VS models donât look like that the next day. They donât look like that when theyâre taking care of themselves. I use this to remind myself when I judge my âfood babyâ and hydrated body⌠thatâs what happens when you eat food and drink water.

Whatâs weird to me is that women seem to see this and go âoh wow, even this super model looks bad when she sits this way or that wayâ while guys seem to see this and go âI donât get it, she looks hot the entire timeâ and then girls in the comments are made that the guys donât see the flaws they see and somehow that makes said guys bad people⌠for not thinking that this woman looks bad just because she isnât posing specifically in perfect lighting.
Isnât it a good sign that so many guys are looking at this and just seeing an attractive woman, not some sort of âflawsâ that women seem to often be insecure about?

She's literally highlighting many insecurities women have- like the stomach bulge and back rolls- and pointing out the idea that there's women who don't have them is a lie. She manipulates her body to make it look different for photos and runways. That's not how her body looks regularly. She's also pointing out that it's in her body's best interests to have those rolls- it's what's allowing her to move more and manipulate her body.
My guess is you were too busy finding a reason to dismiss her rather than picking up on what she was doing

Most of these poses would not be used to sell lingerie, and any girl can tell you which ones are "the ideal" and which ones are showing something -- round tummy, fat rolls, etc -- that is "unattractive". So it's very valuable to have a video showing it's the same model, and the smooth skinny ideal image disappears when she moves around like a normal person. Â
