"The Top 7 Butterbodies" - Nick Coles
The true definition of a butterbody is a woman who has a beautiful face but a body that’s gone to butter. It’s like the butterface, but in reverse. If you are rich and famous, there is no excuse for being a butterbody. It’s your job to look fit and hot. Celebrities are not like normal people. They have the means to pay for a full time trainer and for someone to prepare their meals.

7. Sara Ramirez"...when plus-sized women gain fame, they slim down and lose the pounds. Not Sara. She has remained true to her pudgy self..."

6. Drew Barrymore

"...She says she basically lives on carbs and eats whatever she wants...every hot woman in Hollywood will adopt a similar mentality and the world will be void of super thin, super hot women..."

5. Salma Hayek (are you kidding me)

"...This lady is fat. It’s like she’s carrying a spare car tire around her mid-section.."

4. America Ferrera

"...It’s crazy that she has become a poster child for “curvy” women. She basically gives women an excuse to be fat..."

3. Mandy Moore

"...Recently she re-emerged looking chunky, pudgy and out of shape. It’s like she spent the last few years on a couch watching television and eating tubs of Neapolitan ice cream..."

2. Liv Tyler"...The angelic film star used to be one of the world’s most beautiful women. Now she looks like a dowdy housewife who indulges in too many home-baked cookies..."

1. Tyra Banks

"...If Tyra Banks really wants to be the next Oprah, she should take a leaf out of Oprah’s book and drop 40 pounds..."

I really don't want a(nother) reason to question my faith in the average male's stereotypical standards of beauty, but congrats Nick Coles, you have done it for me. The truly sad thing is that there are men - no wait, asshats - out there like you who believe in this bullshit. Get your head out of those Victoria's Secret catalogs, put down the beer and grow some balls, which probably won't be much help for you, since you don't seem like you plan to get laid. Ever. Mother must be so proud.

Fellas, Answer Me This

So I was talking to one of my girl friends about guys that aren't afraid to use a little dinero to catch a girl's attention. Even though my friend consistently turns down his advances and makes it fully obvious that she's not into him, the offers keep coming - and I'm talking not just talking about the occasional dinner here and there, I mean gym memberships, theme park tickets, no joke.

But let's take the most simple and common example - you're at the bar and a guy offers to buy you a drink. If accepted, does the guy automatically think that the female is interested? It's hard for me to tell, since this is a pretty common occurrence in any given bar or club anyways. Since the very first time I've been offered, not once have I accepted, usually saying something just like "No thank you" or "It's cool, I've got it covered already" - I just don't want to lead the guy on at all even just a little bit and I've always thought that taking that drink would seem like I owe him something, even if it's just a 5 minute obligatory conversation. If I do sense that situation coming up, I'll usually go out of my way to escape it somehow just to avoid the awkward exchange.

Then at other times, I just feel like "Eh fuck it, it's just a drink and nothing more...right?". Cuz I mean damn, if it's a free drink and just a way for a guy to tell you he thinks you're cute, why not? I've even worn my ring on the wrong finger (hence been asked if I'm married) but that doesn't function as much of a deterrent. I guess the dilemma here is whether or not accepting the offer when you already know there's no way this guy is getting with you is either a shady move or not a big deal at all. The point of this post for me is more for trying to understand a guy's POV for these situations rather than trying to justify scoring free drinks from random dudes, even if it will work in my favor haha. But really, I'm not trying to get Raf mad or anything, shit.

So boys - thoughts? I feel like I overthink things too much...
