Magic Called Photoshop: Ugly Girls Made Beautiful

Comments

vixenlittle

on most of these photographs the actual faces haven’t been changed, and on some they’re not even over weight. All that has been changed to make these pictures more “beautiful” is to shed a few pounds via photoshop. So what, you’re saying that fat or curvy is ugly? I can see where you’re coming from on some, but to say that just because they’re thin they’re beautiful is disgusting.

Chris

“you’re saying that fat or curvy is ugly?”
That is EXACTLY how it is, you got it. But I mean, come on, how can you get confused with that, EVERYBODY knows that…
These woman are not ugly JUST because they are fat, but yes, fat = ugly.

Steph

You’re a dick and I bet your single.

Della

It is really disgusting to assume that fat=ugly. Curves are sexy! Just because someone is overweight does not mean that automatically makes them ugly!!!

Besides which I think it’s offensive to change these girls faces as well. People should learn to see the beauty in everything and accept people for who they really are, not what they could be.

Anon

A few years from now, you’ll start to have these feelings and your body will start changing.
Then you’ll realize how wrong that is, but until then, I can’t expect anything but main-stream media regurgitation.

Blahhh

Fat = unhealthy/heart disease/diabetes/stretch marks/cellulite/unsightly rolls.

So yes, fat = ugly.

Derp

Sorry to burst your bubble kid but stretch marks and cellulite happen to thin women to.
manicrose

thank you!!
Great logic…

And skinny doesn’t necessarily equal healthy either. Being Anorexic has as many health risks as being obese. It’s incredibly possible to eat like shit everyday and be skinny depending on genetics/metabolism but by now means does it mean that you are healthy.
Plum

Fat may be unhealthy, but not ugly, and not as unhealthy as bulimia. To me, the after photos made them look like AIDS victims or prostitutes, not attractive. The media needs to stop its bigotry and hatred towards larger women. Thick and curvy is beautiful, not ugly, and not the same as obese.

KO

You are a troll. Just another loser moron diddling himself while he anonymously says stupid shit online.
KO

Another troll. Typical.

YugoZapad

Really? As I was looking at the photos I actually thought the faces have been changed at least a bit on most of them. Followed by making the waistline a bit narrower.
Steph

Thank you for your sane comment.
Sanity is rare to come across in comments.
foxiboi

Totally agreed.
bhushan

i love you

rena

@vixenlittle you give curvy a bad name by putting it together with fat. i’m sorry to be the one to break the news to you fatty, but in our day and age beauty and overweight is mutually exclusive.

foxiboi

*are

Kaitlin

Not to mention the comparison between an adjective and a noun…lol

Plum

It is only mutually exclusive to bigots. It is immoral and wrong to care about what anyone does to their body other than you. You stupid liberals look for every excuse to control other people and their lives. You don’t really care about larger women, only how they make you feel. Nobody cares about your feelings, and what you feel is your responsibility. It is your hateful and bigoted beliefs and your feelings of entitlement for everyone to look as you approve that make you feel what you do when you look at such women.

Learn to grow enough of a brain to keep to yourself, mind your own business, and worry about what you do.

BTW, I am at my ideal body weight, but I really want more, because in my dream image of me, I am larger than society’s ideals, and not only that I like p!ssing you libs off. You are all so easy to control.

aeracura

Yes us damn liberals make everything so damn difficult because we want to meddle in your affairs while you eat your bucket of KFC, CURSE US! …

But seriously, I’v never met a liberal who has cared about anyone’s weight except for in the case of health care(I’m Canadian & I looove me some health care) because people who are over weight are at a much higher risk for health issues – and hating liberals won’t wish that fact away sweet heart –

Also, we care because the waste and over consumption of the obese upsets us when we look at the homeless and starving we harbour as well. Id rather be a “meddler” than turn a blind eye to current events and eat my problems away. I think the problem with North American societies is that we all “mind our own business” untill it’s convenient for us not to (case in point, you commenting on this blog – take your own advice and mind your own business why dontcha?).

Also fat does = ugly, it shouldnt be clustered in with curvey at all because to be called “fat” means their is too much fat on your body – unhealthy unattractive etc. Curvey means your have a healthy amount of fat, in acceptable places (ex: bum fat is less dangerous than tummy fat). All your doing is trying to make something acceptable just because so many people have become it! Its the same as saying alcoholism is a way of life, not an addiction.

Kira

On many of the pictures it seems that the original face has been simply replaced by another. Yes, some of the girls in pictures could probably stand to get in shape, but in others there is no sign of any of the girls being overweight, yet they are made skinnier. And why have the glasses removed? So many people need to wear them and look better with than without.
Also, I do not see how superstars can be “plane”. I am not going to point out the lack of knowledge when it comes to the English language…oops.
“Ugly girls made beautiful.” Whoever posted this has such low self-esteem that they need to make themselves feel better while looking at these pictures, knowing that even for someone like them there is still the hope of Photoshop. Living in your small room with pizza boxes and leaving only at night, I pity thee.
Please, do us all a favor and stay away from the Internet. And people. Go die in a fire.
Steph

Agreed. All that is changed in these photos are some slight cheek alterations, cut down on curves, and moving/expanding the chest.
Fail.
Fail so hard.

phyre

Yeah. Only a few of these (the obese French maid, fishnet glove lady, the Asian chick with the blue vest thing, the girl in the car below that, Sailor Moon) live up to the title. Overall, this is more like Average or Attractive Girls Made Into Barbie.

Steph

Anyone who thinks fat = ugly is plain ignorant. You have your biases, and other people have theirs. I came to this site for humour, and I’m leaving disgusted.

Blahhh

Boo hoo hoo.

Ren Hates “Blah”

Hey “Blah” Go suck one and die I bet your mom made you out of prostitution. XD HAHA That’s really sad. I appreciate the “sane” comments, although some of these tards can’t even spell “FAIL” XDD There is nothing wrong with these photos, the only problem is, is with societies “definition” of being beautiful. Man, if 2012 does happen…good riddens to all the ignorant people I wish the “Death Note” was real XD

Mash

Factually; you’re showing your ignorance. There is a stereotype, a ‘standard’ that society sets. Just because it’s not what your personal, subjective ‘vision’ of correct is, doesn’t make it any less right. PC is PC because it’s accepted by the masses.

This sort of goes along with George Carlin’s crack: “Why is it most of the pro-lifers are women you wouldn’t want to f*ck in the first place?”

It’s in movies, it’s in magazines, it’s all over the world. When was the last time you saw a heffer on the front of Playboy?

hmm

Just because something is accepted by the masses in a culture does it make it ethically correct. The “masses” of German citizens agreed with fascism in the 1930′s-40′s, of course this is an extreme example.
Of course we are in agreince that obesity is unhealthy. But beauty is subjective, because you find it unattractive doesn’t mean someone else does and luckily we live in a countries where ones ideals of beauty cannot be held against him by the masses, as long as it’s within legal boundaries that is.
hmm

And beauty differs all over the world in varying cultures. Perhaps you mean it’s all over the modern euro world?
Plum

No ignorance. Society’s biases are wrong and MUST be ignored, not reinforced. Decent persons attack what is PC. The masses are the ones who are ignorant, and we need to do what it takes to make them feel bad and inferior for wrongly considering fatness to be ugly. And we need to make it a law to require EVERY media outlet to showcase larger women in a positive light. Once the people see the media praising average women and women slightly overweight, a lot of the bigotry will stop.

And people like you who focus on current reality than what is ideal and right are part of the problem. Like if you don’t speak up when someone is raped, you are every bit as bad as the rapist by not reporting it and not speaking out. Evil happens because good people want it to.

Maria

In fact i think that in most cases the “before” picture is more attractive than the “after” one.
Reality

@ Everyone

Well the sad thing is, fat people aren’t attractive. It’s not bias, it’s a fact of our culture. Being overweight is a bad thing and it’s unhealthy; What better way to encourage fitness then to label obesity as unattractive, which it is. Now curvaceous is one thing but when you’re 100-200 or more pounds overweight that isn’t curvaceous, it’s negligent. Calling it anything else is simply an exhibition of cognitive dissonance and nothing more. Sorry, bit it’s the truth.

Reality

No wait, I forgot that if we do that the youths of america will starve themselves while simultaneously raising their standards.
umm

At the same time it isn’t culturally acceptable to be even a healthy weight. There are girls up there who are not overweight by 100-200 pounds and are still made to look thinner, it’s incredibly unnecessary. USA is one of the few cultures with such an extreme skewed perception of the natural human body.
Plum

Fat people are not attractive IN YOUR OPINION, which frankly is nobody’s business. It is bias, and a wrong part of culture that needs to be destroyed.

We can take steps to change this. Compliment larger women. Criticize anorexic women and let them know they look like AIDS victims, prisoners of war, vagrants, and just plain ugly.

Yes, being overweight is unhealthy, but you only have the right to care about your own health. Each person’s health is their own responsibility, and each person owns their body. Sure, you libs like tampering with other peoples rights and telling them how to use their property. If someone is too stupid to live a healthy lifestyle, then it is our moral responsibility to stay out of it and let evolution run its course. People only grow and change when they suffer the NATURAL and INHERENT consequences for their actions, with NO social interference or sanctions. We need to let people know they are on their own and that it is their job to shape up or die prematurely.

Obesity is only unattractive to you and other stupid bigots. A person who criticizes larger women is just as likely to beat a Black or homosexual to death, since all bigotries are connected.

Most who hate larger women are rich and powerful snobs, and thus trash. Others are sexual perverts with a fetish for sickly thin women. Sickly thin women are weaker than other women, and thus convenient targets for sexism and exploitation. So men who want to exploit women want them too skinny to fight back during a rape.

And nothing you say is the truth, only the same leftist, anti-individual spew we are bombarded with every day and are sick of hearing. You are unable to think for yourself, so you let others think and feel for you.

Icetea

Criticize anorexics??
Are you out of your mind? People don’t turn anorexic because of magazines or something like that. Anorexia is a genetic problem (kind of like certain phobias). These people need a lot of help and are not responsible for setting any trends.
As for why most people find overweight individuals unattractive is due to the nature of the signals that they send.
Increase in body fat also leads to an increase in different diseases and difficulties in giving birth for women. Therefore subconsciously when choosing a mate, you would choose one that has a bigger chance of giving you healthy offspring.
I also agree that what you eat is your own choice. However you should have the proper awareness of all the food that is out there.
Damos

Below you say that people should let them be themselves but then you say to insult people who are skinny? I find thinner brunette girls to be more attractive then heavier girls and that is my taste but don’t preach to others who and who doesn’t look pretty(On the outside) because just naturally less heavy people look better. Its been that way for hundreds of years and don’t expect it to change anytime soon
Ceres

“Criticize anorexic women and let them know they look like AIDS victims, prisoners of war, vagrants, and just plain ugly.”

That must be the MOST IDIOTIC comment I have ever heard. I can’t believe someone actually said it.
Because of that moronic comment, everything else you said is just hypocritical.
Do you just harbor a hatred for skinny people, or are you seriously a f*cking imbecile?

ugly fat porkers

fat is worse than ugly,its fucking disgusting.
I bet steph is a right fucking porker.Go cry into your bathful of donuts you fat ugly cunt.
I’ve fucked plenty of ugly women.I usually get the fat ones naked,charm their clothes off with the lights on then burst into hysterical laughter.like they ever stood a chance of fucking me.Ewwww.big rolls of sweaty flab ewwww.they dont have tits,they just push their grotesque slabs of gut flab into their bras.They make me want to throw hotdogs at them,the fucking whales.If you’re fat,seriously..stay indoors and eat yourself to death.You hideous waste of ugly space.

Stormy

‘ugly fat porker’ you made me laugh so much. Not because of your comments but the fact I imagine this greasey, spotty, specky nerd who fantasises about getting a ride but never actually getting it, not even with a fatty. Fat girls probably intimidate you ‘cos your mico dick wouldn’t make it past the fat. Anyway, what is the point of these photo shopped pics? the faces have been altered so much they don’t look like the same person. No, I’m not fat.
Plum

I am ashamed such a hater and bigot like you shares the same air with me. You have been so brainwash. Children do not automatically think large people or dark people are ugly. That is learned behavior, and it can be unlearned.

If you don’t like such women, then avoid looking at them. They have the inherent right to exist and be themselves. You need to work on your self-hate and self-esteem if your happiness is dependent upon how strangers look.

mike

fuck fat people they should all die..expecially fat ass white females…white grils are ugly and fat as hell..fucking fat pig slobs..fuck white people!

Stormy

Mike. So you want to “fuck fat people” but they should all die. Is that “expecially” before during or after you fuck them? “white grils” is that what you cook fattening food on?
Plum

If you are not white, then you have no right to tell white women how to look. If it is wrong for women to be fat, then it is just as wrong for men to be fat.

Maybe you should lose the spare tire, and learn to only scrutinize people in your own race.

If anything, it is lipidphobes (people afraid of fat) who need to die. As for morbidly obese people, you don’t have to wish death on them. They will die on their own soon enough, and I am sure you will gloat over it.

Just…just throwing this out here, but larger = more durable = rougher sex.

Patricia Lane

I like the way you think!! Makes perfect sense, and I’m a hottie, thick but pretty!!! LMAO

Retards,

Seriously, I can’t believe some people are such sensitive cry babies that they have turn this page into an argument sticking up for these fat girls. This page is just to show some ugly girls modified to look better using Photoshop, that’s it. Calm down.

Plum

No, the anti-fat people are the crybabies as your post just showed. It is immoral to let the underdogs be attacked and say nothing.

And we cannot go with absolute numbers. I knew a woman who was 215 pounds. But, she was 6’2″, African-American, and pregnant. And Black women tend to have less health consequences from being overweight, while Asians tend to have the most.

And most were actually made to look worse or fake-looking, like the ones made to look more like men. Quite a few I liked better with the curves, and most people, when asked in private, away from those who they feel hold this prejudice, would say the same.

Ceres

Well Asians also have the smallest or close to the smallest percentage of overweight people, compared to other races.

And let’s see the facts for the last statement.

iamfwomwome

fat =/= ugly

anyway that brunette on black background looks good in both

and the green dress BEFORE pic was fisheye morphed in photoshop, duh
Pretty for nothing

I think it sucks that these poor girls, who obviously spent a good deal of time getting themselves tarted up, are labeled as “ugly” for all and sundry to see. Being born pretty is pure luck and it certainly doesn’t indicate superiority over the less genetically fortunate. Looks have nothing to do with how good a Mom,Dad,sister,friend etc. a person is, and that’s what really counts.

We all end up looking like wrinkled old prunes with age spots and excess hair in the end anyways.

…hopefully your tongue is firmly in your mouth cheeks…and not your arse cheeks…ugly …the only ugliness on this site is your attitude…
PhyreByrd

Hm, not even going to get into how messed up this whole thing is….but they could have photo-shopped the fat, unattractive dude next to the girl too! Look at that gut!
joe

maybe these girls will see these pictures and be like” damn i do need to lose weight” and actually do it!! instead theyl probably stay obese and fall for late night infomercials for a quick way out. “oh im big boned” BULLSHIT get off yalls fat asses and exercise. its called burn more calories then you take in, simple as that. and yeah makeup would help too
Clara

PhyreByrd, you took the words out of my mouth and, even funnier, the boyfriend was made even fatter in the ‘after’ pic, presumably to reduce the girl’s torso, lol. So, to those misogynists, here’s the bad news: testosterone isn’t a magic shield that renders invisible to women your acne scars, yellow teeth, double chins, man-boobs or concave chests, beer guts, chunky thighs, chicken skin and, eventually, droopy sacks of testicles? As, of course, Pretty For Nothing is quite right – prettiness is short-lived and some of those chubbier girls (and boys) just may hold on to their looks better than their super skinny sisters (and brothers). This is a sad unfunny page, and especially horrid to see that truly ugly racist comment by Mike. But I am sure the author didn’t intend to offend so may I suggest – to make amends – that he put up some before and after pics of himself but do please include unflattering pics taken at random as some of these “ugly” ones clearly are exactly that. Can’t wait!
Tits McGee

I have to say, the conversations under the pictures are more entertaining than the photos themselves. It’s amazing what technology and slight of hand can do these days. I do agree that you people should lay off the fat jokes, but sadly, in today’s society, most people coin fat with ugly. But seriously, calm down.
erin

This is ridiculous, if you look closer many of these shots are just done a second time with a similar looking girl to make it look like it’s an amazing photoshop transformation.
anonymous

fat=ugly.

*facepalm*

You = Ignorant Idiot

Rebecca

Soooo why didn’t they fix the fat guy in the couple shot. It’s not like it’s okay for guys to get fat either. LOL
Joe is ugly

Being fat can be hereditary, therefore incredibly hard to get rid of.

Joe, go wear your make up.

This site fails, and I’m bored of all the fat people criticism. It’s old.

manicrose

yeah sure.

go and exercise and actually take care of yourself instead of making excuses for your obesity.
kayla

I agree.
This entire thing is just sad.

thisoneguy

uhmmmm half of these are fake?
Ben Burger

actually I prefer overweight women, I don’t find skinny chicks attractive at all. To use an over used expression, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, obviously
Renee

the fat jokes are boring. also, more than one of these ‘girls’ in the pics are boys.
S.Q

Oh come on you idiots.

They probably photoshoped the ‘After’ pictures into the ‘before’ pictures.

Those ‘before’ pictures ARE ugly. Not because they’re overweight. But because it shows self neglect, and that’s hideous. If they wanted to be traditionally beautiful, it would be more rational to work out. I’m a woman myself, so you fucking dare say that i’m being ‘biased’, and that i’ve never gotten ‘laid’.

Call me biased? Ha. You people are using the word ‘fat’, and ‘fat’ is a negative term. Hypocrites. Would you sleep with any of those women?

I thought not.

manicrose

i agree.
Rain

You amuse me. Of course you’re biased, you’re human. And the fact you think being woman means you are not betrays your misunderstanding of the word ‘biased’. The thing is, you are using your bias as fact, which is the kind of mistake that ruins people.
There is no all around standard of beauty. There is a societal standard and everyone’s personal standards.
There are people who like people with crooked noses, glasses, a lot of body hair, a lot of body fat, uni-brows, thick brows, pasty white skin, slanted eyes, freckles, wrinkles around the eyes, moles, breasts of every shape size and consistency, people who are bald et cetera.
Also, not that it matters, but based on physical appearance alone; I would sleep with eight of these women because they are in fact beautiful to me.

Gina

I think I side with you but I’m not exactly sure. Your half-assed attempt at being intelligent was ruined by the misuse and misspelling of words that I really don’t think you fully comprehend.

Beauty IS in the eye of the beholder, but the unfortunate reality is that if society convinces you that your opinion doesn’t fit the norm you will most likely not admit to wanting to sleep with 8 of these women outside of a crappy forum.

snupcup

…he held the beauty as she eyed the beast…or is it…she eyed the beauty as the beast held him…or is it…3 dots don’t make a dashingly handsome man…we are all beautiful if only we believed it…but the crass ones ensnare us with their advertising … peddling of insecurities masked as… ‘beauty’…they sell illusions masked as allusions as cynically as the seasons are cyclic…round and round they spin their deceit…

Ugly girls? About half of these girls look gorgeous in their before pics. And of the half that’s left, half of them are just a bit overweight. And the girls that aren’t good-looking can’t help it. Love.

You did not fix the fat dude standing next to the cute girl. How was that any better? The dude’s still tubby & ugly in the 2nd pic…

Humans weren’t meant to be fat, in the least. We’re a bunch of chimps that fell from trees and moved into the plains where all the fast-running predators are. Fat people can’t outrun anything. Modern medical science keeps them alive, sure, but all throughout history.. Fat/deformed = food.

Spam your “I’m not a human, I’m a robot that must accept all because society tells me to”–crap some more, just shows your ignorance.

It’s unhealthy, leads to more diseases than I can count and heart-attacks, as well as taking up two seats on the airplane. Put the fork down.

kt

WIN. Most intelligent comment on here.

It’s true. Fat people are not fit for today’s society. Pun intended?

It’s survival of the fittest. Pun also intended. Always was, always will be. Medicine can only take you so far.

Herbert Spencer is my man.

errihu

The propensity to gain weight offered a serious evolutionary advantage in the past. If it didn’t, there would be very few fat people today, because their ancestors would have all died off. The fact that humans are fat, and gain fat so readily, argues for the notion that humans were indeed meant to be fat.

Not to mention the obesity paradox. A wealth of medical literature demonstrates that fat people (compared to ‘normal’ weight people) are less likely to get some cancers, more likely to survive the cancers they get, less likely to actually die of cardiac disease and hypertension even if diagnosed, and more likely to survive an illness or injury. In fact, a landmark Canadian study by Orpana, et al. (2010) found that the overweight were 25% less likely to die from any cause, the obese were 15% less likely to die from any cause, and the morbidly obese (yes, the death fats) had the same likelihood of death from any cause as ‘normal’ weight people. Underweight people had an elevated risk of death. Skinny = unhealthy. Fat = healthy.

Type II Diabetes is the phrase that will no doubt fly off fat haters’ lips right now. “What about Type II Diabetes? Fat people get that!” So do thin people. Many fat people are not getting Type II because they’re fat. They’re getting fatter because they’ve developed Type II. Anything that messes with your insulin and your body’s response to it is going to mess with your body shape. Fat, when it is associated with negative health outcomes, is being demonstrated more and more to be a SYMPTOM rather than a cause.

What I’m seeing now is a case of society having decided on a definition of ‘healthy’ and ‘attractive’ arbitrarily, and then taking only ‘evidence’ that supports the dominant view, or trying to shoehorn or misinterpret evidence that doesn’t confirm the dominant view into supporting it. It doesn’t help that most people are not able to read medical research, that medical researchers are themselves susceptible to bias and societal views, or that the people who bring medical research to the masses are also unable to understand it, properly interpret it, and are likewise susceptible to societal bias.

People are fucking stupid. If anyone deserves to be Darwined out, it’s the ones who fail to learn how to think critically and evaluate information. Not the ones whose body type doesn’t match your notion of ideal. I’m sorry, but trying to argue a health outcome rationale as a reason for not liking someone else’s fat is a fail. The evidence does not support you. Only cultural standards do, and they’re based on lies.

yes

Excellent comment.
Love the anthropologic point of view.

not exactly…

But it’s not anymore. We have no natural predator in this day and age and haven’t for a very very very long time.

Natural medicine keeps those alive for years, that would’ve died in days many years ago.

It wasn’t even the ability to be quick on two legs that helped our primitive ancestors survive, it was their intelligence. Which is why when you look at primitive fossils our cranial captivity grows from each early homosapien to the next, not our leg muscles. The smart survived, being fast wouldn’t make a damn of difference back then if you didn’t have the intelligence to back it up.

Matt

I actually think some of them look better when they are bigger. And some of them look ugly in both pictures. Most of the weight adjustments that were made had very little to do with whether the altered pictures looked better or not.
Kristen

Regardless of their looks – or what everyone else thinks about them, keep this one thing in mind:

It doesn’t really matter if people are attractive or not in the long run. Eventually a girl’s tits will sag quite a bit, and she’ll get wrinkles as she ages. Guys will also begin to have saggy skin and wrinkles as well, even after using creams to reduce wrinkles, we cannot fight old age.

The only people on here that are talking shit on these people are those with low self-esteem, trying to make themselves feel better.

I do agree that being fat is unhealthy, and something should be done about it. But, guess what? Most Americans are overweight. No, that doesn’t make it right, but the facts are there. Accept them.

Some people like thin folks, and some people like overweight people. That’s their tastes. But eventually, you as a person have to accept the fact that you’ll never be perfect, no one is!

I have been up and down on my weight, but I’ve also dated many different types of guys myself. You name it, the skinny, popular guy in school, the overweight nerdy guy, a mid-sized “skater boy”, so on and so forth. And what I’ve found is that regardless of how they looked, whether other people found them attractive or not, a lot of people are the same.

Society as a whole will still label you, in fact, you’ll label me. And I don’t really care how you label me, sometimes it’s hard to face the facts.

I’m labeling the people on here who have posted immature comments as retards. The ones that have failed to present good arguments on how a person looks.

People will always have imperfections…such as wrinkles, acne, possibly a lazy eye, a crooked tooth, moles, a boob that’s bigger than the other, and maybe even unwanted facial hair. This doesn’t make them ugly. Maybe it does to you, but that may be because you’re shallow.

Being too fat or too skinny is something that can be changed. But it’s hard to change someone who is dumb.

I personally believe that there are plenty of smart, intelligent people out there with all different body types…and these people fall into different age groups. There are models out there who are just as smart (and nice) as people who aren’t models. It’s actually funny, because usually the people that make rude comments about others are the people that have probably never even been on a date before.

But don’t worry, if you’re concerned about the idiots on here who are full of negativity, they obviously haven’t gotten anywhere in life. If they had, they wouldn’t have made comments like that. :)

I don’t care if you’re overweight or skinny, you should love yourself. I would encourage you to take care of yourself, and get your weight under control, but the labels that OTHER people put on you does not mean you’re ugly.

Now, getting on to what I came here for – seeing photoshopped pictures of people. This is nothing new, this happens all the time with model pictures, not just overweight folks. Most of the pictures you see of models today are photoshopped, because even they have imperfections.

But just because they’re thin and on the cover of a magazine doesn’t make them gorgeous, but it doesn’t make them ugly either. You are who you choose to be :).
Luke

Although this reply is adding to the problem, this post is never going to come down if people keep commenting on it. I’m kinda getting tired of seeing the same link come up in the blogs I view.

Also, it sounds like 1st graders wrote some of the replies.
Bizdashiz

People are so narrow minded to think that being overweight is purely due to laziness. Most of the people who say this are usually naturally thin due to a high metabolism…Yes some instances of overweightedness may be due to laziness, but many are due to genetic problems, social problems and also mental problems such as depression. So don’t be so quick to judge someone who has gained weight if you don’t know the cause or the difficulties they face in losing the weight.

There was an era when larger women were more attractive because it meant they were more well to do.

And really the word ugly is such a superficial term, anyone who uses it like this are showing who is REALLY ugly.

The funniest thing of all is that overweight people CAN lose weight with the right life changes…All you nay sayers have ugly hearts, which you will NEVER be able to change.
Kellox

I love how the couple photo only the girl got changed but the fat guy is still fat, make him thin to just to make it fair.
Cloudy

some of the “before” images look a little photoshopped to be ugly as well. and then the “after” ones look REALLY photoshopped. btw, how did you get a hold of the original photos?
Jane

The real problem here? The half ass Photoshop job. It’s not funny because whoever did this did a piss poor job and was too lazy to bother with a good joke.
:)

Are these all done by the one bloke, or are they by separate people? If so, in the one with the couple, I like how the guy didn’t get his tummy tucked in a little.

I do have friends who touch up their photos a little to make themselves feel a little better when sending photos away for auditions & whatnot. I’m ashamed to admit I have digitally cropped my hair a little when it has been neither washed nor brushed, but I’m not skilled enough to remove my paunch….I’m not that good.

I liked in one of Michael Moore’s books, whoever designed the front cover digitally cleaned the dude’s fingernails – he later lamented to an audience they did nothing about his face :P

Anyone else notice the amount of attention someone has spent increasing breast size & cleavage? In some it looks like it was done as an afterthought, in others it looks like it was the main & first thing they focused on.

Not Amused

They were all done by different people without any of the girls’ permissions.

Most of these weren’t the original intended edits and definitely weren’t even supposed to be handed off to 4chan. These were posted by people who are personally bitter at the girls in question.

The photoshops in this article are poorly done and the people who did them should feel bad.

:)

btw, often when I meet women, I don’t necessarily notice their beauty until a couple of days down the track, after I’ve started getting to know them. Dunno whether this is just me.

I prefer people who are content with their appearance enough that the subject is never raised. Maybe this is for self-preservation reasons. It doesn’t seem to matter in what context or circumstance the questions are asked, it sometimes doesn’t even matter what the question is. They always take me offguard, and I know that reguardless of what I say I know that what I say will be logged away in her memory somewhere & stew there for YEARS. A lot of what I don’t say seems to get in there too, I know that from the moment I open my mouth, I’m screwed.

I’ve grown up in a cattle farming community, where for the first 17 years of my life, the local store’s entire range of vegies were tomatoes, onions & the occasional sick-looking lettuce. We do get a lot of fat people, sure, and double-chins are commonplace, and that’s fine. But we also get HUGELY obese people. People who, when viewed from afar, are mysteriously genderless. It’s not just unattractive, it’s frightening.
My own sister was recently refused entry onto a rollercoaster because the guard couldn’t be lowered into place. I’m seriously frightened for her. I’ve never been terribly fond of my sister, nor held much stock in her high-protein, meat-only diet, but she has so much weight pressing down on her lungs that she’s CONSTANTLY wheezing. Plus, she has asthma, so she has no hope of catching up to her 4yo. I’m scared for both their lives, cause if he suddenly runs out into traffic or gets bitten by a snake, she has neither the stamina nor the strength to save him.

There are some people who carry their weight easily, even gracefully. But there are far too many who can’t. Or sometimes just don’t.

I think it’s only natural that when you look for the future parent of your child, you’re looking for a mother or father who can protect & provide their young.

I really hope this isn’t seen as a rant. :P

:)

provide *for* their young :P

However, reasonably larger women are less likely to miscarry and more likely to have a healthy baby. The fat helps protect the baby, and is a major supply of nutrition for the baby. That is why certain waist-hip ratios seem more attractive, since that tends to indicate better breeding stock. So curvy is good, morbidly obese is not.

And people with more subcutaneous fat (think face, arms, buttocks, etc.) within reason, tend to be less likely to develop dementia later in life. The deadly kind is visceral fat, and that is fat around body organs, and the “spare tire.”

i’m fat and i don’t regret it except for health issues. some of the girls look like guys in drag sorry. but some of the comments on here against fatties is just not right. one day someone you know or love will be fat or overweight maybe your mother, daughter ,sister, brother…doesn’t matter. simple minded people. you only reap what you sow my friend..some day you will be put in the place or experience this first hand. good luck to you.

I absolutely agree. It is like the man who would mock retarded kids when he saw them. He thought it was really funny, until his wife delivered a child with Down Syndrome. So what goes around comes around.
Brackard

That’s silly. There is no magical force of vengeance that will make everyone he loves fat. He probably won’t be throwing his hands in the air and screaming “WHY DID I EVER MOCK FAT PEOPLE???”
Granted, what he said was moronic. But don’t act like you can guarantee he will pay for that stupidity.

Even little kids whose parents feed them fast food 3x a day should just be put to death! Down with fatties! How dare they be alive. I don’t want to look at that. It’s gross. Everybody who doesn’t look like a supermodel should just be shot in the back of the head. And everyone over the age of 30 should be killed too because they’re ugly.

Karma’s a bitch. But assuming you have enough time to “fix” these photos on photoshop, I bet you’re already fat and ugly yourself. Being overweight is unhealthy, but so is being underweight. However, half of these girls are just slightly overweight. They are healthy. THAT’S beautiful. Stop being an ass, get up, and go outside and take you a little run or something. I’m sure you need it more than some of the girls in the photos do.
alley

anddd THIS is why guys are fooled into thinking that hot girls actually go to anime conventionsss lmao
Brackard

It seemed like most just had their boobs moved up a bit.
Also, in spite of the fact that the girls were thinned out so much,they didn’t look much better. Not to say they are all ugly, but the title was misleading on both parts.
Some people need to get away from the porn (probably photoshopped heavily as well) and look at some real, healthy women.

I dislike that most of the “large” women who comment on this site think the only alternative is to be stick thin. I believe you need to consider “athletic” as well, and you’ll realize this is what a majority of men are looking for… health.

If we look back in time, we see that the ideal of the “perfect woman” has changed quite a bit (In my personal opinion, from my personal encounters, mans taste is more diverse than ever :D ) but in reality, what has never changed is the males persuit for the most suitable mate. When their was famin and food was scarce, larger women were more desirable because it was a sign of status, wealth, and better conditions to conceive. Now, since obesity has become such a pandemic and food is so easily accessable, women who are well diciplined, fit, young, and vibrant are looked at as being prime mating partners.

You can even see these patterns in shorter periods of time- play boy cover girls gain sizes when the economy is doing poorly, and lose sizes when the economy is good. This is because they have discovered men prefer larger women when the economy is doing bad, and they are forced to worry about more basic concerns such as food.

Therefore, it is not a personal prefrence, it is instinct for men to want healthy parnters & therefore to believe that obesity = bad.

I am not trying to imply that anyone should lose weight, or become an ideal. Just, quit being so hard on men and refering to them as shallow. They are not, they are just being human. Also, it is your job to consider any health risks you may be putting upon yourself if you are obese the same way a person who smokes, abuses alcohol, or ( if you are naturaly big) the same way someone with a health problem must take their lives into consideration.

Why focus on people who look unpleasant to you? Why no mind your own business? FYI FAT BEING UNHEALTHY IS NOT NECESSARILY TRUE. Do your research before you say something uneducated!

P.S. I’d wreck most of those chicks.

aeracura

Oh sweet heart…
1. Learn how to form a proper sentence okay?
2. Did you read anything that I posted above? I give you a number of reasons why it affects the public when others are obese.
3. I also explain that that fat around your legs and butt are not as unhealthy as the fat around your stomach- I did do my research, you should too.
4. You’d “wreck most of those chicks” ? In what? a duel of wits? I doubt it. In a physical confrontation … how intimidating can anyone be on over the web?

Some people need to pick costumes better.

Flaunt what you have people!

We all get stretch marks and other things we dont like, doesnt mean we flaunt them.

Bet people wouldnt be so uppity if these girls were just wearing boob tubes. Theyd jump on the ‘eww fugly’ wagon too.

If you REALLY have to dress as that certain character, be damn creative~! I’ve seen it before.

Some of the girls arent large either.

One last thing : dont get the girl that pretty much added makeup afterwards. With all thie pics, seems like they never bothered to learn what foundation is :P If theyre so worried theyll dock their images on the pc, im surprised they didnt take more time to begin with

p.s. in b4 feminist rant : im female so nyeh nyeh!

That Chick

Actually, I did have make-up on, albeit not much at that point. Some friends and I were playing around with one of their cameras/lenses at the end of the day at a convention. I had given the raw for a friend to play with and she did a beautiful job with it. Unfortunately, she had a lapse in judgment and posted it to 4chan without asking me first. I personally really dislike this photoshop as I cannot pull off heavy make-up.. especially a mask created by a burn tool.

Why don’t you take a look around on the internet a little more before spouting off? You’ll be able to see that one photo does not represent the person on a whole.

This is REPULSIVE! none of those women were ugly instead this person just made them skinnier which is so stupid. this is why so many people are blinded and think that beauty is only if you look like a barbie and why so many people in this world have low self confidence. just learn to accept people and learn about beauty within not out.
Ceres

I’m will neither make fat jokes, nor will I euphemise “fat” with “curvy.”
I know people who would probably be considered fat, and they are still my friends. I would not insult them or be mean to them.

If you are here rooting for “fat” people whilst insulting “skinny” people, then you should stop with the hypocrisy. You sound like an idiot when you rant about not being biased, while being biased yourself.

And why do people keep talking about “conforming to society?”
Just because someone thinks a person is pretty (and that person happens to be skinny), does not mean they feel that way because of society!
You yourself decide who is attractive to you!
If you’re a man who likes skinny women, and society deems big women the ideal, are you going to look at a fat person and think, “She is attractive because society deems hers so?”
And vice versa.
