Well... makeup you can learn by experience, buy some magazine to get some idea, look in the mirror and practise a few times. TIPS: natural is the best, put natural color eye shadows and lipsticks and fondation that match your skin tone.

Chubby? Does it bother you? do you think this is the reason why you are not confidence with yourself? (coz it always mine) if it does, no one can help you with that, you can only help yourself to lost weight.



Chubby? yup bothers me a lot...since childhood i have been chubby...so i experienced being called up with different names...ugly names...and have cried out myself with that...
BUt how can you loose weight here in Dubai...
you go home tired...and eat ...
now I think i need another topic...
HOw to loose 10 lbs in 2 weeks or a month? and how to keep it...

i think that u sould follow choco's advice and forget about silly diets...like she saied the key is to be balanced and yet not to deprive urself from taking a bite of what u like. and exercise is good( there r also some pretty good anticelulite body lotions)----if u got time---who knows what a babe u can meet when u go jogging or simply for a walk :wink:
good luck!

Don't stress about your weight to much. Not being a twig or a twig with balloons can also be a blessing, as long as you're a healthy weight for your height.

Besides, curves are so much sexier than no curves. It's how women were built to carry their offspring. Boobs and bums are sexy. Ask any guy! :)

There are so many 'chubby' people i know who dont let their chubbiness get in their way. Just look at Queen Latifah (the singer and actress). If u are not going to believe in urself, who will?


Queen Latifah is cool...i've watched some of her films as well...i like Oprah too..i get some inspirations from her shows...

The thing is, I also need those around me to believe in me..give me some support or something and not push me....but now, since I live on my own now...though my mother checks on me every week...i think I should start ...to do what I want ...don;t care about other people if they dont; like me...

Its just rejection is hard...your advices...help me a lot ...thanks...

the only thing? breasts r among the 1st things men look at.
lemme ask u smthing. u like eating? cos if u do, go on and eat. im not saying u should stuff urself all the time, but forget about starving urself. besides, men like much more those women who eat with joy and not just pretend to be eating or when checking the menu they count the calories.
and one more thing, ive seen many "ugly" women who had amazing success with men.
u show what uve got and dont give a damn. cos as long as u dont want and like urself, nobody else will.

Actually that's a great comment to make. I have some great male friends that I like to go to dinner with and they actually made the comment, that it's great to see a girl who actually likes to eat when they go out with her. They can't stand girls who're picky and calorie counting. Also yes curves are much more s.e.x.y than being a stick from the armpits down.

Also as you've said support from friends is great, but sometimes friends can say things just to be nice - it's a truth. Sometimes you need honest friends who will tell you when you're looking a bit dodgy - it helps - honest.

Very true. I personally often ask my close friends to "criticize" me. It can help a lot but of course in my case, it's something I only do with my closest friends as I know they will be honest with me.

...for me it really is the way someone carries/portrays themselves. Take for example, these 2 guys in my office. One is handsome, strong and fit, but he has such a patronising manner that just looking at him makes me want to slap him upside his head, ...nothing attractive there at all.
Now, the other guy, ...chubby, not so 'handsome', but he has such a sweet nature, so much confidence and the way he looks at me! ... its all in the 'attitude', nuff said 8)

Interesting topic. Whether we like it or not, looks do matter folks. I am amazed by some of the comments on here... like "boobs are the first things a man looks at!" While it is a funny comment, it is a tremendous generalization that is not fair to guys. I for one am attracted to girls that are pretty and have class; it doesn't matter much which bra size they wear. Then again, I suppose I'm more of a "face" guy rather than a "body" guy.

Don't get me wrong here... I do appreciate nice titties and a nice booty, but for me other things matter more... like symetrical facial features, inviting eyes, nice hair, full lips etc. A great personality is always a bonus!

To a certain extent yes, physical beauty is important.The girl i would be dating needs to have a thinking head on her shoulders, she should be able to carry out an intellectual conversation & be confident.

When it comes to the looks department i wouldnt mind if she has curves in the right places.:), but whats important is striking eyes :) and an enchanting smile.

Cheers,

It is a challenging world out there, including looks, and it does matter, for both sides,,, some ppl might oversee this fact and don’t really pay attention to looks.

However, when we say that looks shouldn’t matter, we should be referring to things that we cant change, like the things that God created us with, but if ppl are making fun of them selves by dressing funny, or anything of a such… then hell looks do matter…. Lol
