Thinness Obsession

Is this what you want?

Have you ever noticed these facts?
  • Women’s magazines have extra ads and articles encouraging weight loss than men’s magazines.
  • Over three-quarters of women’s magazines covers mention at least one message about how to transform a woman’s physical performance—by diet, exercise or cosmetic surgery.
  • Television and movies emphasize the significance of a thin body as a measure of a woman’s value.
  • Over three-quarters of the female characters in TV situation comedies are skinny. Only one in twenty is higher than average in size. Heavier actresses tend to accept negative comments from male characters about their bodies.
But there’s also good news. Here are some movements to kick the trend.

  • Spain has held lately a project with the purpose to make clothing sizes standardization using a special process (a laser beam) that is used to measure real life women’s bodies.
On the other hand, unfortunately, advertising set of laws in market place. In advertising, thin is potential and there’s still the conviction that only thin models can encourage the sales of beauty products.

Money Etiquette Issues for You (4)



7. Pulling out of a Financial Commitment

Trouble:You have already committed to join a weekend trip with friends, but the cost is over your budget.

Solution:Remember this. Anytime you're going to divide the cost of something with friends, be obvious about expectations from the beginning: "I can afford economy airline seats but not first class." Or "Can we agree to keep the room under $100 per person per night?"

If a friend makes luxurious reservations before you've discussed it, be honest. Say, "I misunderstood how much you were planning to spend. I can't afford a trip like that right now." If you agreed in the beginning and are backing out, you could offer to pay a portion of the cost, such as the room-cancellation fee.

That's cheaper than paying for a whole trip that you can't pay for. But what if she says she'll lend you the money and you can pay her later? It’s better to refuse it. That can be a way to end up with confronting each other. You don’t want this to happen, right?

8. Dealing with Friends Who Nag about Money
Trouble:
A friend complains that she has no money, and then spends excessively. How do you face this situation?

Solution:
Is your friend really a cash-strapped shopaholic or just someone who habitually complains about money? It's time to force her into the open. Say something like: “Last week you said you didn't have any money, but then you bought those fancy designer shoes. I'm worried about you. Are you really having financial trouble?'"

If she is in trouble, help her find a financial counselor or look for a good advice book on budgets. But don't get too complicated in her problems, and don't loan her money.

If you anticipate your friend's bluff and tell her you're worried about her, she may become more aware of the money whining and stop doing it.
