OK I qas having that Sunday sadness feeling and now I'm feeling casually pissed off and jealous because I went on FB and an ad popped up featuring this woman (Tammy Hemsomething apparently).

How is it possible to look like this?! What I mean is is this the result of just working out or what? But how can she get her body fat down so low for the waist, but not on her bum or tits?!

@dickxydoraxx
She has a small waist, large (child bearing hips)
Yeah unlike all those women with narrow infertile hips eh!

Her waist & bottom both look disturbingly unnatural in some shots (the ones that I think aren't her actual body at all). I don't aspire to have anyone else's body, but if I did, it would be a top track athlete or cyclist. Not like TH.

Unlike all those freaky fake women with small hips and love handles. What laboratory did those abominations grow in

I am a fake woman. I grew in the biscuit factory. Grin

"I would be happy to know that my daughter is aspiring to be like her.
She's the epitome of feminiinity.
Child bearing hips.
Small waist
PMT
etc etc etc
All the attributes of a natural 100% bona fida WOMAN.
No amount of hormones is gonna give you that my love x"

I just sicked in my mouth.

Tangled59 · 17/06/2018 21:35

@pennylulu
Holy shit. 90s JLo. Remember when she was the epitome of curvy latina?

She now looks almost boring compared to the instagram fit crowd.

God it leads me onto the subject of the pornification and desensitized men. Once upon a time JLo and shakira and co would have got loads of guys going, they look positively babysitterish in todays context!

I don't think she looks hideous or awful, just fake. Obviously plastic surgery or photoshop. No-one looks like that 'naturally,' no matter what exercise they do. .. or how much they diet. I wasn't born yesterday FGS. This is not a 'natural' body.

SluttyButty · 17/06/2018 21:37

Oh yes clearly I have issues not wanting my daughter to pose in her underwear, on social media, in some twisted pose that has an element of sexuality about it to try and look like she's done good.

Forgive me if I think my daughter is worth more than having to feel like a valid human being in her undies, pouting for social media.

And I will change my mind if you can give me valid reasons why women should need to pose like this to promote themselves when men don't.

Aragog · 17/06/2018 21:39

Zoom in on some of the photos - you can see the tell tale signs of photoshop, esp around the waist and lower half. Some of the showing is not quite right, some of the lines of the things surrounding just don't always sit right either.

Her body shape, in the photographs, isn't one I would aspire to.

So, photoshop, lighting, photo angles, filters and then add in some plastic work. Im sure she does eat healthier (well, possibly not healthier, but low fat/low carb with several restrictions) and no doubt has a PT and regular work out sessions, and some genetics.

Seriousquestion09 · 17/06/2018 21:39

So fake it’s unreal
Plastic- that is a black girls bum on a tiny frame... the only people I see with a true waist to hip/ass ratio like that are black.

NutElla5x · 17/06/2018 21:39

Are you really that stupid? Do you really think those tits and bum are real and that she's not photoshopped to fuck?

Nicknacky · 17/06/2018 21:40

slutty If your daughter is an Instagram fitness model, then yes she would probably post photos like this on Instagram. It’s what makes her money.

And do you actually think male Instagram models DONT post similar photos? Of course they do.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 17/06/2018 21:42

Why is it that anyone not holding this figure up as an ideal or aspiring to look like her, maybe speculating that it's an unrealistic goal for most people is described as a "hater". Confused

dickxydoraxx · 17/06/2018 21:43

Yes shes a bit exaggerated.
However,
she is feminine.
She has a natural feminine waistline,
large hips.
Yes, she's a bit of a caricature of a woman. But she is a woman nonetheless.
and like I said, no amount of hormones can replicate that.

Thank God.

Maybe those of you in disagreement should come on over to the Feminist Threads.
You might learn a thing or two.
Instead of being defensive.

Rainydaydog · 17/06/2018 21:43

Can you really make your bum bigger by working out, surely it will make it really muscular and lean.

dementedma · 17/06/2018 21:44

That photo in the black bikini is gross. (Wonder if I will get another deletion for expressing my opinion)
No way is that a normal body

dickxydoraxx · 17/06/2018 21:45

Rainydaydog, males have lean bums.
A woman will have a big bum.
It's in the genes.

missmouse101 · 17/06/2018 21:45

She looks ridiculous. How vain too, really disturbing to think that much of yourself. And the twatty pouting? Take me back to the 80s.....

Nicknacky · 17/06/2018 21:45

rain My bum is a bit bigger after changing the way I trained. I moved from mainly cardio to a lot of weights and squats and I have def noticed a difference.

BellaJessica · 17/06/2018 21:46

What has hormones got to do with anything?

pennylulu · 17/06/2018 21:46

@Tangled59 Yeah J-Lo WAS the epitome of curve1 Smile

My DH still fancies her so do I a bit! Blush

She still looks fucking HOTTTT! Grin

pennylulu · 17/06/2018 21:47

Not sure why there was a 1 on the end of CURVE ^ (sorry!)

OkMaybeNot · 17/06/2018 21:48

What on earth has this woman's body got to do with hormones?

A woman is an adult human female. The definition of a woman has fuck all to do with her hip-waist-arse-tits ratio.

OkMaybeNot · 17/06/2018 21:49

I read and post on the feminist boards, and I have no idea what you're chatting on about.

Takfujuimoto · 17/06/2018 21:49

Well she can do whatever she likes with her body, I personally do not find her body overly attractive as something to aspire to, mainly because I don't like implants, that second pic you can see that weird bump where she's lost too much weight from the natural breasts and there isn't enough fat to cover the implant, looks weird.
Her bottom looks like it may be real, could just be her natural body shape on that end.

If I saw her in more clothes I'd think she has a trim waist, but hardly anybody that petite has natural big breasts.🤷‍♀️

I'd be more worried about the fake tan all over her, her hands look filthy.
