Women get your WHR on and men will fall all over you!

Sexy waist to hip ratio (WHR)

Man's waist to hip ratio 

The Good and the BAD/Ugly of WHR's

Men seek fertile women, it's how they're biologically programmed.  One of the biggest markers of fertility is the waist to hip ratio.  If a woman's ratio is similar to a man's it send men's brains a signal suggesting that she may have difficulty child bearing.  If a woman is obese or carries a large amount of belly fat it sends the message she's past the age of fertility.  These signals will turn off a man's attraction.  Men want to breed, even if they don't, their bodies do.  Waist/hips (WHR) is supposed to be more of an indicator of estrogen production, i.e. fertile women,  than Waist/bust and the reason why men are more attracted to that standard than simply big busted women alone.

Women can improve their attractiveness by keeping a weight that maximizes the ratio.  I have a natural hour glass figure and although I work at maintaining my weight, it doesn't matter how large or small I get the numbers are still there.  That said I could choose clothes that deemphasize my waist and make me look frumpy and unattractive.  Sofia has mentioned we have similar body types, curvy but in the wrong clothes can look less than ideal. The best body size for clothes are women who are slender, reed like creatures with no hip to waist ratio and are the ultimate hangers for designers.  Magazines purport these figures as ideal and sexy for women, but they are not what gets a man's eye.   I suggest watching a lot of What Not to Wear and learn to make the most of your assets and begin showing off as much of the WHR as you can.

Shallow Hal, aoefe style.

I've been accused in real life of being shallow.  I don't believe that'll be a stretch for most of you to believe, look at how I've set this blog up.  Pictures of me abound.  Some believe I seek validation and others think I mustn't have anything between my ears.  Firstly we are visual creatures.  We like knowing what people look like.  Think of your favourite anonymous bloggers, don't you have a picture of them in your head?  Don't you hope they don't have faces made for radio?  We fall in love with persona's on the web, we create fantasies built by their responses and posts and we picture them in our heads.  When I first started commenting at Roissy I decided to back up my claims as a datable female by posting pictures.  I wanted to be taken seriously, which is kind of ironic since I post half naked pictures of myself, but truthfully I wanted to be 'seen' as authentic.   I think I earned some respect and heck if nothing else I earned some interest.

But that's the internet, what about real life.  I have been called shallow in real life, rarely to my face, but I know that people have thought it and said it to others.  Why?  Because I dress nice and take care of myself.  I am not afraid to use gentle intervention if the situation calls for it in order to remain datable therefore I look a lot younger than I am which creates jealousy.  It's gender specific this belief of my shallowness, no surprise that it's women,  most of whom stopped taking care of themselves at the age of 30 or marriage whichever came first.  I think it also rubs some women the wrong way that I'm feminine about my approach, I wear mostly pretty dresses and heels, I don't wear slutty, tight fitting clothing which makes me harder to dismiss.

Some people have shallow attitudes, they are much more focused on the external than what takes place underneath.  Personally I believe the outer should reflect the inner.  I think beauty is important both in character and in appearance and beauty of character should be the stronger emphasis.  I know it's not my character that's being questioned and I don't say that blindly.  I am authentic about what I write here and that shows in my real life persona too.  The accusation for me simply comes from appearance.

I don't pay attention to the haters having already worked through my motivations in my own head.  I admit I like attention both here and elsewhere and if looking good helps me get it, all the better.  Looking good has many payoffs beyond the obvious, I have never been turned down for a job, I have no problem dating, I'm trusted more at first glance, I am seen as intelligent, and for the time being while my attractiveness lasts I am seen as sexually viable.  Is it worth it to work it?  Hell yea.

Embarrassing and Mortifying

My guy and I were doing a car deal with a 76 year old Italian Canadian.  A character to say the least.  The first day when we came to look at the vehicle he ordered me to sit in his garage while they talked mechanical stuff.  I said I was fine, that I'd been driving but he said and I quote, "oh for Christ sake sit down!".  Of course I did, being me.

The second time we saw him was to give him cash and apply the new license plate to it and drive away.  While my incredibly hot, sexy and gorgeous boyfriend screwed the license plate on this 'lovely' gentleman said, "We like our women large eh", then he looks at me and continues, "my wife is husky like you too."

HUSKY!!!!  Husky?!  HUSKY!!!

My man who was attaching the license plate turned around to see my reaction and I was smiling and taking it all in stride, while inside dying a million deaths.

We'd had to take my vehicle because my guy was driving the new one and it seemed like forever before I could get in and let the tears spill.  I was mortified, not only to be called husky, but to be called it in front of my man!  What man wants to be with a girl described as husky??

We were driving to meet at a coffee shop and when I saw him the tears were still in my voice and I told him I had hurt feelings.  My guy thought I was joking because to him it was an obvious joke that I'd been called husky.  He saw right away I was genuinely upset and hugged me told me the guy was an idiot.

Still...it makes me realize I have some work to do in regards to my body.  I've not 'let' myself go, but have been more lackadaisical than I've been in the past.  No way Jose' do I want to become the comfortable 'fat' girlfriend.

Today is the first day of the rest of my life - or something like that.

Age of Beauty

Today  my best friend and I were talking about what men need.  She's happily married and has little chicklets but is pretty darn hot for a housewife, heck she's hot no matter what.  We have passed the age of 'hit the wall hard', yet have remained attractive because we work at it.

Women have an expire date for sexual beauty but it can be extended and I maintain it should be if you're aiming to keep your husband or significant others attention.  I know I wouldn't have attracted my man if I had decided I'd reached my end date and 'gave up' early.  

I do want to mention that beauty changes as women age.  Women lose their sexual heat, but they don't have to lose their attractiveness.  I've seen many women over a certain age catch my eye.  The ones that catch it are typically described as classy.  As much as it saddens me that I'll stop turning heads because I'm semi-hot now, I do hope to turn them down the road because I'll remain striking.

A man's stature increases if he has a pretty woman on his arm.  A good woman should be willing to take care of herself to make her man feel proud.  A good woman doesn't flaunt herself for other men.


A good woman will ensure her mate gets variety in the bedroom.  Wait...that's another post.  Next time.

Shoot me now if I turn into the image on the right!  OMG.

The possibility of an L word

In a conversation with a friend of mine today I realized my crazy life hadn't interfered with my blogging rather my new PVR had!  I have replaced one outlet with another.  I'm not pleased with the replacement.  I would much rather connect with you than than turn off my brain cells while watching reality TV, so tonight I'm refusing to turn it on.

The picture to the left is a pencil app. that I applied to a picture I took today.  My biggest celebrity crush is on Steven Tyler and his feathers rock!  I had a few applied today in my homage to him.  Well not exactly true, I got them because I haven't yet seen any Western Canadian women rocking them and I wanted to be the first!

As I mentioned in my last post I'm very close to doing the biggie with my boyfriend.  Ya that's right peeps...doin' the move in.  We have to talk about it some more but both of us are anxious to spend more time together and this would obviously allow for it.

I really like him and damn it I think I could say the Big L word in a quiet moment.  First person I've come close to feeling that with since my big ole' long term, which ended a looooong time ago.

When I met this dude I couldn't really keep my hands to myself.  That's not the norm for me.  I don't usually feel that level of attraction at first go.  He's very hot whatever that means to you.  I'd say a mix of alpha and beta qualities.  He could get anyone he wants, yet he wants not only a sexual equal but a woman with qualities and values he admires.  He says we are a match.  I believe he's right.  He's a bit enigmatic at times, which for me works.  I can't have him all in my back pocket or I'll get bored.

Time will tell they say.  We shall see...

Balance

My friends who are aware I artificially plumped up my lips ask me why when I already had a full set.  I say balance.  I have large features and one feature which is overly large is my nose.  I wanted to see if making my lips fuller would balance my face.  It has.  Now that the swelling has died done I can see that my nose is less obtrusive than it was.  My profile is also improved because my lips have more protrusion, making my nose less so.  I'm happy for the moment.  No more enhancements...for at least six months.

Sandra Bullock Bangs

I liked Sandra Bullock's bangs at the Golden Globes.  So I cut mine.  I'm not Sandra Bullock it turns out.

Day 3 biggest they'll get

Day three and apparently the worst day for swelling.  People are noticing...kind of making me self-conscious.

The obsession continues

I'm staring at my mouth all the time!  They really are quite noticable.  This is day 2 and the swelling is still there as are the bruises.  I assure you that's not toothpaste on my mouth it's a spotty mirror.  Ya, ya I could do better cleaning.  The mark on my hand is from taking something out of the oven.  I didn't even scream, that's how tough I am. (not)

Lip Service

I did it.  I got lip filler in moi lips.  I had full lips already but I wanted to see what I'd look like with even fuller ones than I had.

It's noticeable.  I went in before work and three co-workers have already commented.  I have to say I'm liking it.  There's just something about a full mouth. 

I admit I'm vain and if I can improve on what I was given I will.  It's a man's world out there, women get ahead by looks combined with smarts.  I know this because it's been a personal experience and I've heard it echoed by many other women who've climbed the ladder of success.  Attractive people advance faster and further.  It may be a sad truth, but it's a truth nonetheless. 

I'm glad I did it.  Today is day 1, we'll see if these puppies deflate as swelling goes down.

Pictures taken within the hour of the procedure and unretouched.
