Okay, you obviously aren't supposed to sit on it, Teresa, use your brain.

I went Googling, but all I found was this:

"Mrs. Bennett, am I right?"

"I love my dad. He's always been there for me and my sisters,"

Because I have been in similar situations and did nothing I give this gift to all the young readers out there:

...Epilogue: Because I have zero game, nothing ever happened. I did really well on the exam, though.

True but I was thinking about Kao specifically since it's usually a smaller company that'll buy a cast-off brand and try to build their market share with that (for example when P&G sold Icy Hot to Chattem many years ago). Kao was on a buying spree a while back but I haven't followed them recently. They just popped…

I always get in trouble for saying "pretty isn't a big deal." I understand that's easy for me to say since I am pretty but that's also NOT the most important thing about me or any person. I would way rather be called charming, smart, funny, genuine, etc. There are a million compliments that mean so much more than…

The advertising industry is overwhelmingly controlled by men though

Yeah, I get that the doctor in the article seems to be pretty focused on how boys' opinions regarding girls' bodies affects girls' perception of their own attractiveness, which is problematic on so many levels, as many other commenters have pointed out.

If you could get boys and girls in a safe environment to honestly and seriously talk about their insecurities and curiosities, that would be great. I imagine such opportunities don't happen that often, and you couldn't just walk into a classroom and create that sort of trust and honesty and serious introspection in a…

Oh geez. My mother was terrible. We could not sit through a meal without her commenting on my appearance in a not nice way.

Right? Having been a teenage boy fairly recently, if I was told "You have to talk about what you find most attractive in a woman in front of a group of teenage girls, to fix their self esteem issues. Don't fuck this up." I would have been scared shitless.

Oh man. I have those stretch marks. In the summer I pretend I am a tiger.

Also, scientist man: always, an increase in fat? Teen me was on the side of too skinny, yet got little water-ripple stretch marks over the hip joints from a very feminine growth spurt. Hourglass shape is not "fat".

Just out of curiosity Mr. Sigman (and it is mister, not doctor, right?)... is there some kind of, I don't know, concurrent suggestion that girls should make known their opinions of boys? Or is it a given that boys that have other means of building their self-esteem, and that rating the sexual viability and general…

The problem with asking teenage boys what they find attractive is that they don't even know. They're still at a stage where they only consider girls who they think their friends will deem acceptable. I think that you'll find there's much more diversity in what grown men find attractive than what teen boys do.

Yeah, no. A guy saying a chubby girl is hot is not any different than saying a skinny girl is hot.

Umm- relying on teenage boys who watch a lot of porn is a GREAT way to boost teenage girls' egos. Come- lets clap for this wonderful idea.
